Review: Really nice radio - The radio is really only for someone who knows about radios. Don’t get me wrong the radio is really nice, super sensitive fm reception. Great sound quality, it’s amazing for its size. But it has loads of interesting and useful settings, I don’t think you will get the best out of this radio unless you go into settings it up how you want to use it. Not good battery life warning, it says the battery is full then without any ramp down in displayed power, it displays almost empty!!! Don’t attempt to just switch on and use, Read manual first, or not much will happen. I think that the default settings could do with tweaking, depending on where it’s being sold. Personally I am really enjoying using it.
Review: Excellent value for money. - Great little DX radio. Very sensitive with loads of features. Sound quality is very good considering the size. A joy to use outdoors. Even better indoors with a decent shortwave aerial.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent radio, highly recommended
*by A***5 on 26 January 2026*

I've only had this a few days and I'm comparing it directly to the Tecsun PL-330 which I've had for a few years now. The Qodosen lack of SSB aside which IMHO is awkward on this Tecsun due to tiny recessed buttons for 'step' and more is for me at least far superior on LW, MW and even SW. Pretty much the same where I live on FM although perhaps on headphones FM sounds slightly better on the Tecsun. As for the speaker Qodosen is far superior as is the action of the buttons on the radio. Operating ease wise is a matter of preference although I'm getting to prefer the Qodosen. Build quality is no contest with the thin and creaky plastic of the Tecsun together with its lack of a kickstand being vastly inferior. If you really need SSB go for the Tecsun otherwise 100% the Qodosen seems the far superior radio to me at least. LW reception is incredibly good for such a small radio and virually no existant on the Tecsun.
