Pros & Cons
Pros
Radio is rechargeable via usb type c (a-to-c cable included, you supply the charger). The battery is a common 18650 lithium-ion cell and user replaceable. Rechargeable 2000 mah 18650 lithium ion battery provides hours and hours of use.
The fun one can have with it is endless. Can't beat the price. If you can get it for a decent price, i think it's worth a try. After a coupon. Both are decent radios.
Reception with internal antennas is great in all bands. Has very good nighttime reception. The antenna is pretty good because even with my location, i can still get fm channels that are 50 miles away.
Bluetooth speaker mode works well. The bluetooth function is seamless, but there's some volume dropoff. It can accept tf cards for audio playback & is bluetooth capable.
It has a wide frequency range and several am bandwidth settings. There are selectable bandwidths for mediumwave & shortwave, and they are very effective.
Cons
Mediumwave interference makes this radio unacceptable for dxing purposes. No lo recomiendo.

Been having a lot of fun with this radio, but the power button broke and now i can’t turn it off.
The only undesirable trait this radio has, much like other shortwave radios, is that it receives a good bit of interference (st... Read More
Price
This is the best bargain in an sw radio around.
Worth every penny and i would buy it again.
I fired this little $40 radio up, and it received 30 sw channels without a bigger antenna.
I bought mine direct from the manufacturer in china at the beginning of 2023, the 3rd day it was on sale.
Competitiveness
The sound is incredible for the size of the speaker, and it is way easier to use than the tecsun.
It received more sw channels than a tecsun pl880!
I tried about 5 different radios including a $180 tecsun pl880 and i couldn't bet any shortwave channels from inside my house.
I wanted to replace another low-cost radio.
