I've wanted to purchase an internet radio for quite some time. After doing a lot of research, I opted to buy this terrific radio. So far, it hasn't disappointed me. Although this was my first internet radio, setup was extremely easy, and I was up and running in minutes. Skytune has plenty of stations, and I had no problems going from station to station. The radio was very responsive, and the sound is the best I've heard from a radio this size with a single speaker, which is excellent. It really is a lot of fun playing with this radio just to hear what people in other countries are listening to! I also tried the Bluetooth feature with iHeartRadio, TuneIn Radio, and Radio Garden; it worked perfectly with TuneIn Radio and Radio Garden, but iHeartRadio inexplicably didn't stream over everything. Not really a big deal, and I suspect it had something to do with the iHeartRadio app not playing nice with the radio.Setting up Skytune presets in the radio is very easy, but I was more interested in setting up presets that were not dependent on having Skytune service. After all, it doesn’t hurt to be prepared should the service suddenly not be available! Well, that proved to be quite challenging, because the radio stream url information for most radio stations is very difficult, if not impossible, to find. Nevertheless, I kept at it, and eventually was able to successfully locate this information for many stations and add several preset stations. Patience and persistence are the keys, and you’ll be able to easily do the same thing with no difficulty for a lot of radio stations.Are there areas for improvement? In a word, yes. For example, the radio does not come with a built-in rechargeable battery, nor can you add batteries to the radio. Not a big deal, but if you want the radio to be a truly portable radio you’ll have to get a power bank. If you don’t have one already, a good one will set you back about $20.00. Additionally, having another aggregator service besides Skytune, and/or having iHeartRadio, Spotify, Pandora, etc., available in the radio itself, would also be nice. Don’t get me wrong, Skytune seems to provide an excellent service. But if Skytune shuts down, most of the functionality of the radio for the majority of users goes away, leaving you with a pretty black box. The remote control is functional, but the buttons feel a bit “mushyâ€, and overall is not up to the same build quality as the radio itself. Finally, it would be great if the radio incorporated an “old school†radio to listen to local AM and FM radio without the need for WiFi connectivity. Not only would this give users an additional option if Skytune was unavailable, but it would also be useful during emergencies when power was unavailable.So, even though I have a “wish list†of improvements for the radio, at the end of the day it is a great radio. It works flawlessly, my list of improvements are relatively minor, and I can get nearly all of my suggested improvements from other radios and equipment I’ve purchased over the years. Maybe the next generation of the radio (WiFi4?) will have some of these additions, but as it stands this is a great radio that’s easy to use and will put a smile on your face.

Overall quality and build is fine. Set up easy, turning the knob to enter password took a little practice. Like the remote. I'm a slow learner, but finding the ins and outs is easy. Audio quality better than expected. Only "maybe" downsides, LED screen could be bigger, remote could hold more than ten presets (not realistic) EQ is nice. Sleep timer and alarm are nice. Although not a battery portable, you can move from power location at will. Radio remembers your information and reloads. I enjoyed writing this review!Thirty days in I still like the radio. There are a few cons, so I downgrade stars to 4 from 5. 1. The display is just to small. Speaker does not have enough volumn. Search is clumsy, littered with useless station. Not able to load. Chinese after chinese. All that said I'm keeping the radio. I've come up with 10 presets out of a claimed 20,000.

I had an internet radio from another company for ten years. awhile back I found out that their server was gone and I was no longer able to receive stations. I bought this WIFI 3 unit in hopes it would be as good. Well it is a great radio does everything I expected. Works great. Yes there could be a few improvements like a slightly bigger display. The speaker is small but if your not looking to rock the house, then it is fine, decent fidelity. You can always add a pair of powered speakers to get added volume if you need to go real loud. Overall works for me.

I love this little radio. Thousands of stations. Perfect reception. NO static, NO drift. Good sound from the small built-in speaker plus a stereo line-out jack for amplified speakers. The radio is easy to use and takes just minutes to set up. Totally independent of the computer. So glad I got it!

If you're looking for crystal clear sound and dependable, precise tuning, look no further. Granted, you'll have to be happy with the Skytune selection of stations- not really a problem because they offer pretty much everything. There was only one station I couldn't find, so I requested it on the Skytune website. Within a couple days, it was available. Also, I was sent a slightly scratched remote, (I think from the way it was packed). I called C.Crane customer service and they sent me a new replacement. The service was friendly and professional- very impressive.It has a small speaker, but the sound is clear and precise. It's not booming high-fidelity, but it's pretty good. The bluetooth speaker is easy to set up and works flawlessly. Overall, I'm very pleased with my purchase and use this radio nearly every day.

The radio set up is easy. For a small speaker the sound is good. All the features work as described. The EQ provides a bit a adjustment for sound preferences.The only let down is the bluetooth. It is receiving bluetooth not transmitting, so you can’t use this with a bluetooth speaker or stereo system. I wouldn’t think of using this as a bluetooth speaker for something else. It just doesn’t have that kind of sound. Pity, can’t use my bluetooth headphones or amps with this. Doesn’t make sense. This radio needs a bluetooth makeover! Blue tooth speakers are a dime a dozen and this doesn’t sound as good as a modest one. Another poor quality bluetooth speaker is not needed. Let us pipe it to a better one. Needs transmitting bluetooth to be a useful internet radio..There is a 1/8 audio out to hardwire to a speaker or stereo if you’re still into wires.It is a nice unit if used within its limitations.

J'écoute cette radio à tous les jours. Cette radio est excellente. JE L'UTISLISE surtout avec des écouteurs stéréo (auriculaires stéréo). Le son est excellent. J'aurais aimé un écran LCD un peu plus grand. Très facile à programmer. En somme c'est un excellent choix et j'adore cette radio. Prend peu de place sur un bureau. Mon choix c'est dirigé vers C.CRAME. J'avais une radio de la compagnie Grace Digital Audio qui du jour au lendemain m'a laisser tomber et nous savons tous pourquoi pour une programmation qui n'était plus disponible!

The audio out and headphone sockets were defective, so I returned the unit. The sale on Amazon was over so I didn't order another one. Every other feature on this radio worked perfectly. I will wait until it is on sale again.
