Great, and then some
I got this to listen to in the bathroom while getting ready for work in the morning. I generally listen to NPR to catch up on news and weather and I'd been using an ancient pocket transistor radio with poor reception. Actually, I've tried several bathroom/shower radios in this location and none have had good reception. It occurred to me that having Bluetooth and FM in the unit would be great if I wanted to listen to my own music. After a lot of searching I came across this iFox and I'm very pleased so far. The FM has a scanning tuner, no digital or analog dial. First time you use it the unit scans for available stations. After that you can click up and down through those stations.Before I received the speaker, I got an email from iFox thanking me for my purchase and reminding me to contact them if I had any problem. What company does this, especially for an inexpensive piece of equipment like this? I was impressed. I asked their rep about FM reception and she wrote that I should plug in the included line cord which acts as an FM antenna. I did this and the reception is great. I would definitely recommend this little speaker for anyone looking for a great Bluetooth speaker with the added bonus of an FM tuner.BTW-- don't be alarmed if the speaker arrives in an inner box marked MY SPEAKER. The iFox told me they use this sturdy generic box for shipping. I'm slightly embarrassed to say that I returned the first speaker I received to Amazon without opening the inner box...sure enough the replacement arrived in the same MY SPEAKER box, but it was indeed the iFox.

Just awesome !!!!!
OMG !!! You need to get this speaker. I have way more expensive brands like Bose and JBL portable speakers and this little guy is just as good or even better then the expensive brands . The bass is awesome and the radio reception is very good .. it’s so light and portable ... I haven’t tested the battery yet but I will write and update later on. The only thing I wasnt very happy about is the volume button but other than that it’s a must if you want a good quality sound And portability!!

2nd defective device
The first one I ordered stopped working shortly after I received it (it's been a while, but I'll err on the safe side and say <60 days). I was not able to change the modes to go between the radio and bluetooth. The seller sent a replacement. The second one stopped working shortly after as well. The radio is now static only and can't seem to find a station at all. Additionally, the charging port is AWFUL. It will not charge without major cord manipulation therefore, it never is able to fully charge. For a minimally used product, this is entirely unacceptable. I haven't reached out to the seller regarding this one as it's been a while and given previous record (not to mention all the bad reviews with similar complaints) I think a 3rd replacement would probably yield the same results. I so wanted to love this speaker, unfortunately, at this time I cannot recommend anyone to purchase it.

Happy customer
Well at first it was working alright. But then I started hearing something rattling around in it, like there was acting pebble in it, and the mode button would not work. Then it wouldn't charge when I plugged it in . So I finally got fed up and I carefully unscrewed the screws so I could take a look inside . The rattling was from the tiny part that's supposed to be right behind the mode button, it had broken off and was just floating around inside! I still don't know why it won't charge though. The iFOX CREATIONS company really cares about the product/s they sell AND THEY CARE EQUALLY ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMER!Any disappointment that I had with this product was completely erased with the way they handled my issue.They contacted me, not me them. They sent me two new speakers, free of charge. The replacement speakers are working just as they should! I am very impressed with the high level of customer service I was given.My hats off to iFOX CREATIONS!Sincerely, Colleen Laurens

A great travel companion for music lovers and radio listeners!
I've had the iFox iF010 Bluetooth Speaker for a couple of years now and really like it. Would have given it 5 stars but the controls can be confusing. Frankly, I don't have a Bluetooth anything but bought this for the portability and TF card / FM radio features, both of which work great. This is a really nice portable solution for listening to the radio or MP3 files you've loaded on the card. The sound is quite good for such a tiny device but is definitely limited to a single small room or porch. Even with the volume pushed to the max, none of my music on the microSDHC card was distorted in any way. Amazingly, this little puppy weighs in at 5.2 ounces and has been my companion on all overnight motel stays wherever I go (hey, ya just can't get the right music or pull in the local NPR station on the motel television, right?).

Updated review
I love the sound quality for music, the radio and the sound quality for calls. I pretty much love everything about this little speaker until today. I went to plug in the power cord to charge it up and found that the internal connection broke off the computer board inside. It could ber a simple solder fix, but I can't find any way to get inside. It lasted roughly 4 months of almost daily commute use3/30 I received an email early this morning from an iFox rep offering a replacement speaker. Great,fast customer service.

Great speaker with a design weakness.
This is a great little speaker, especially for the price. All the modes work as advertised. Plenty of volume, and the sound quality is amazing. Their customer support is really engaged - I've been contacted twice by email just to follow up and be sure I'm satisfied - who does that? My criticism, and the reason for 4 stars instead of 5, is about the user interface. All the buttons, ports and lights are hidden along the bottom of the case. You have to physically pick the thing up and search to find ports and controls. Three of the 4 buttons have multiple modes - the same 2 buttons serve for next/previous stations and volume up/down. Another button is for pause/play, answer/hangup, and scan stations. So you couldn't hand it to another user without a non-trivial orientation.

Wow! Style, sound and even more ... nearly perfect!
**Ein wirklich starkes Soundwunder, das fast keine Wünsche offen lässt**Was mich allerdings stört, ist die Tatsache, dass die Lautstärke nicht weit genug nach unten geregelt werden kann. Stattdessen ertönt dann ein meinem Empfinden nach nerviger Ton, der mich wohl darauf aufmerksam machen soll, dass die Grenze der "Leisestärke" damit erreicht wurde.Was noch ein wenig nervt, ist die vergleichsweise laut programmierte Stimme, die zwischen jedem Wechsel des Modus (sprich: microSD card-Mode oder FM-Mode oder Bluetooth-Mode) kräftig ertönt.Ich glaube, so etwas muss doch nicht unbedingt sein. Schon gar nicht, wenn man morgens im Bad seinen Lieblingssender im Radio ohne viel Getöse sanft einschalten möchte. Da das Gerät keine sogenannte Memory-Funktion besitzt, um nach dem Einschalten genau da (z. B. beim Radio hören) wieder zu landen, wo man aufgehört hatte, ist die viel zu laute Stimme nicht wirklich eine willkommene Option. Ausschalten kann ich sie leider auch nicht!Der Sound hingegen ist grandios für das kleine "Soundtönnchen". Auch hält die Akkuleistung über mehrere Stunden an.Nichtsdestotrotz bin ich von dem Kauf positiv überrascht und spreche damit - ausgenommen der oben genannten Knackpunkte - dennoch eine echte Kaufempfehlung aus!

Buen sonido y producto
Lo recibí hace unas semanas y estoy muy contenta, tiene un buen sonido y alto cuando está a tope de volúmen y con sonido limpio. Te avisa con el modo que estés usando en el momento y cuando se vincula por bluetooth y si se está agotando la batería. Y el dispositivo tiene un tacto suave muy agradable y robusto. En mi opinión, muy buena compra.

Estetica bella e tutte le principali funzioni radio inclusa.
Materiale ottimo al tatto, carina l'estetica e le funzioni complete. Dovrò usarlo un po' prima di giudicare batteria e caratteristiche tecniche. Sembra che per il prezzo sia un ottimo prodotto.

Bin sehr unzufrieden
Der Radio rauscht, die Qualität ist ungenügend. Wir werden ihn daher zurück schicken.
