Best radio good sound quality quick delevery

The media could not be loaded. After months of hunting and reviewing many reviews i first bought a xhdata d220 to check the quality of xhdata radio, d220 is quite a surprise in itself as it plays FM and SW brilliantly with a little help of an extended antenna ,in my case a 6m wire. And it also gets MW stations with its inbuilt antenna. now the real challenge with dial is that it's hard to tune precisely to a single frequency and you cannot figuree out the exact station frequency.I looked into other radios also but finally I settled on xhdata d808 cuz of its extended capabilities for exploring AIR n LW stations.D808 is another surprise,it's a very small radio , neatly assembled and has inbuilt battery with c type USB charging provison. although no charger is provided but it comes with all the basic accessories , a USB type c cable, a wire antenna and a battery :) it tuned all the FM stations smoothly and stored in memory. Same went for MW and SW stations. I live in a apartment type building so here the external antenna that comes with the radio helps on FM SW and AIR frequencies. I charged it to full capacity n using it 3-4 hours daily since last 2 days n still the battery status level is on full.its easily go for a week without charging on moderate usage of 2-3 hours daily.Controls fill little tricky at the start but going through manual 2-3 times helps to understand the radio better else this will appear as alien device.It has alram function, turn off timers ,beep sound on/off , keylock, backlight on/off control.Apart for this it has bandwidth selection on SW MW LW frequencies, it has option of mono and stereo on FM, FM is stereo only on earphones. Dials feel flimsy but they are enough friction to hold its position, on dials you have volume, fine tunning and frequency adjustment. The telescope antenna is okay but for better reception a wire antenna greatly enhance the reception. This can be easily observed as you got display for signal strength and SNR readings.MW /LW are tuned with help of internal ferrite antenna but a external passive loop antenna helps in for better reception.right now I'm using a DIY loop antenna but planning to get tecsun passive antenna for the same.This radio easily gets the AIR frequencies from the nearest airport , you need to know the exact frequencies to listen to them as this broadcasts are small n auto tune easily skips them while tunning.I could not use it to listen to ham communication as I'm new to that but SW allows a little excitement cuz you can tune to some random stations n you will be surprised to get those stations.For a curious person this radio has a lot to play with , for regular guys you only have FM , so if you are not really into radio than skip this radio but if you want to explore the world of radio then this could be your first world radio but this has a learning curve. It has a possible return window of 7 days so I myself trying to explore all its features so in case it has any issue i can claim the replacement n return.People have mixed reviews for this radio for me xhdata soo far is fairing good I hope it will not disappoint me.Finally today I was able to tune a active CW communication on 20m band on USB. I was not sure about this radio's Ham capabilities but today my doubt was cleared.

Very high quality radio. Catches giverment channels on fm even in remote places in maharashtra. Highly recommended for radio enthusiasts; I gave it to my parents as a gift and it was very good !! Excellent indeed... Lifetime investment

This is a small radio easy to carry, has good reception.But price is too high for the hardware.I get clear sound from the local radio stations. Distance radio stations has lot of noice, not the radio fault its due to the interference of various electronic gadgets around us. When there is no power then you can get best reception, even from stations at thousands of km away.If you are living in a remote village in India then it is the best radio you should have.FM: has good reception, in my city i get all channels with out taking out the antenna.AM LOW: there are no stations in this band in India.AM: i have one local channel in hyderabad, which i am getting clear voice, when there is no power i can here lot more channels from near by states.SW: for my area this band only working during power loss.AIR: air band is not good in this radio as i am unable to get clear signal even from near by airport which is just 20km away, however during power loss this band also working fine.Display white light is too bright, so I added a 470ohm resistor in series with it.Over all i am happy with my purchase though cost is very high.

3rd class product. Sound is bad. Reception is bad. Cost is extremely high.

Sound quality is not up to the mark. Hence I want to return it, but return option is not found at this time.

No Audio out put from speaker and also from Head phone jack, could not contact for refund or replacement

The media could not be loaded. The radio looks great. Sleek design, easy to operate. There are some complex function like stupid timer. Take help from YouTube videos. The FM is extremely well. Medium waves are awesome and short waves are really good including single side band. I bought this radio particularly for single side band listening. The air band gets clear reception from ATC Delhi , I am 55 kms away.I had to order a replacement. The first product had poor ssb reception and noisy. The replacement arrived the next day and is awesome.
