XHDATA D368 Pocket Radio Portable Transistor Radio AM FM SW Battery Radio Retro Supports TF Card/USB/Bluetooth MP3 Player

The media could not be loaded. This little radio performs beyond my expectations by leaps and bounds! Reception in my home should be pitiful, solid stone walls, wi-fi, upstairs using every known device and this compact radio still found a lot of SW stations with just the supplied antenna!! FM reception is off the charts! Picks up more stations than my other little portable radio. Overall I'd say reception is excellent! I'm looking forward to getting my 10m wire antenna!The radio is well constructed and of excellent quality, the buttons are solid in use and the joy of using a rotary wheel to tune is sublime.It's very easy to use right out of the box (which is excellent packaging) the information sheet consists of two small pages in English, simple to read and understand.The sound is of a very high standard too, a surprisingly bassy tone, especially on the FM stations!Although short wave is not everyone's cup of tea I love gently wheeling through the bands and hearing those broadcasts from around the world is joyous. I've heard French, Chinese, Americans and some Arab chat, all of that in the first five minutes of taking it off charge!Charging is done via a USB-C cable which is supplied.Not too sure on battery life yet so I can't comment yet.In summary..... solidly built radio, excellent quality and excellent reception. Extremely cheap for what you actually get! Highly recommended!

Great little radio, lovely sound from speaker, much better than I anticipated - especially on a strong signal station.Gets decent reception on SW, better than some other comparable models in this price range, FM and AM both fine as expected. Easy to use, seems to be decent build quality. Very portable size shape and weight. Instructions on using mp3 and Bluetooth functions are rather vague, but easy to figure out what to do. Recommend this for everyday listening.

Great sounding little radio considering its size. Bought solely if there is a power cut. But everything on it works well. Feels quite solid and well-made. Picks up plenty of channels even here in Wales. Like the idea, it has rechargeable batteries. It Plays USB device music just fine. Not exactly cheap considering its size, but overhaul very pleased. Not had a chance to see how long the battery last yet, as not yet needed.

For such little money and such great quality. Sound is amazing either through the high quality speaker or plug in decent headphones and you'll be astounded. Solid build quality too. A lot of radio and great features for the price. Buy one!

For the price and size the speaker has good sound quality, but the band selector isn't properly alligned beyond FM2 so you have to wedge the selector between the notches to properly recieve AM and short wave.

Hugely impressed. The short wave reception was amazing in my house, I didn't think I'd even get a signal there's so many electronics and thick walls! Bluetooth and TF card is great. I loaded the card with ambient music and it's on the pillow. I would definitely travel with it.

I received this the XHDATA D-368 a few days ago and I'm pleasantly surprised.It's the First DSP radio with Analogue tuning dial I have used that is rather enjoyable to operate, very little chuffing when tuning, This radio is far more enjoyable to tune than the XHDATA D-808 Tecsun PL-330, Tecsun PL-310et and Degen DE1103.The XHDATA D-368 is very sensitive on the Whip, adding a few meters of thin wire to the antenna makes a big difference and so far I have not noticed any overloading.Now for some negatives.Sound quality on AM/SW , XHDATA use a very narrow filter which makes the audio a bit muffled, adding a Music/Talk switch could have simply switched to a Narrow/Wide filter, it's a DSP radio after all so selectable bandwidths are built in to the DSP chip.No external antenna input, this would be good to connect proper external antennas although I appreciate the fact that this radio is a small portable but it's so simple to add external antenna input.There is no 75 meter band which is very disappointing because 75m Is very active in Europe every night.I tested bluetooth and it works fine, sound quality is good.The 368 is very sensitive on FM and I had no problem pulling in weaker signals and the tuning dial is very accurate both on FM, AM and SW. Sound is also good on FM but sadly as I said they decided to use a very narrow filter for AM/SW.In the evening time I can pick up several MW stations several hundred Kms away and more. Not stellar MW performance but quite acceptable for a radio of this size, by comparison, my Tecsun PL-301et can't receive many stations that are clear on this 368.I live in a very quite area with little to no electronic generated noise that can seriously effect reception, but things like USB chargers, phone chargers, laptop chargers bad quality LED bulbs, stick to branded bulbs like Philips and Osram and stay away from Cheap no brand bulbs especially when it comes to ceiling and outdoor flood lights.If you are not able to receive many stations on all bands at different times of the day it's not the radio it could be interference especially if all you hear is buzzing, on this radio I can pick up many, many stations especially in the evening and night. Some wire 10 + meters out a window tied to a tree will greatly improve Shortwave reception. But even on the whip antenna I can pick up many stations, if you can't try go outside or take the radio to a quiet, less urban area where there's a lot of electronic noise.I haven't really tested battery life yet but I did not charge it yet after getting it and using it for several hours. USB C is very convenient for charging.Things I would absolutely love to see on a future model.I would love Long Wave.Much larger radio with back lit analogue display and buttons. 75m and SSB and more bands. SSB is useful to listen to Hams or some Air traffic on Shortwave. A large Display.External antenna input and selectable bandwidths.Use the bluetooth/ SD card media display for digital readout of frequency in the same red colour but keep the Analogue dial.Conclusion.Very surprised how well XHDATA managed to make the tuning so good and offers a much better analogue like experience.The selectivity of the radio is excellent, DSP radios with Analogue dial radios often likes to latch on to strong signals and it can be very difficult to select weaker stations but the 368 managed to tune in weaker stations with no issue. There is some muting on very weak stations but I found that I can't hear them either on the D-808.I noticed no images or overloading caused by strong signals.I hope to see more radios like this because I love Analogue dial radios but would love a bigger one with the features I mentioned above and I would pay more for it. I'm not really interested in USB/SD card or Bluetooth but I can see the appeal.Buy this radio, you won't be disappointing.

Works wellCharges up over a couple of hours and seems very good for the money
