D368 Pocket Radio Portable Transistor Radio AM FM SW Battery Radio Retro Supports TF Card/USB/Bluetooth MP3 Player

This little radio performs beyond my expectations by leaps and bounds! Reception in my home should be pitiful, solid stone walls, wi-fi, upstairs using every known device and this compact radio still found a lot of SW stations with just the supplied antenna!! FM reception is off the charts! Picks up more stations than my other little portable radio. Overall I'd say reception is excellent! I'm looking forward to getting my 10m wire antenna! The radio is well constructed and of excellent quality, the buttons are solid in use and the joy of using a rotary wheel to tune is sublime. It's very easy to use right out of the box (which is excellent packaging) the information sheet consists of two small pages in English, simple to read and understand. The sound is of a very high standard too, a surprisingly bassy tone, especially on the FM stations! Although short wave is not everyone's cup of tea I love gently wheeling through the bands and hearing those broadcasts from around the world is joyous. I've heard French, Chinese, Americans and some Arab chat, all of that in the first five minutes of taking it off charge! Charging is done via a USB-C cable which is supplied. Not too sure on battery life yet so I can't comment yet. In summary..... solidly built radio, excellent quality and excellent reception. Extremely cheap for what you actually get! Highly recommended!

Great little radio good quality and speaker is better than i expected. Battery life is good recharges reasonably quickly and can be replaced once expired. Manual rotary controls feel good and screen is legible. For the money this radio packs a serious punch way above its light and compact weight. Reception has been good with existing retractable ariel probably better with ariel extensions for those enthusiasts who like to catch signals. Has 2 FM bands and AM plus 9 SW bands so plenty to keep most people happy. Versatile as you can use USB and mp3 and it has a standard headphone socket if you dont want to annoy others. As a basic or beginners set or as a standard every day radio its great for the money.

I received this the XHDATA D-368 a few days ago and I'm pleasantly surprised. It's the First DSP radio with Analogue tuning dial I have used that is rather enjoyable to operate, very little chuffing when tuning, This radio is far more enjoyable to tune than the XHDATA D-808 Tecsun PL-330, Tecsun PL-310et and Degen DE1103. The XHDATA D-368 is very sensitive on the Whip, adding a few meters of thin wire to the antenna makes a big difference and so far I have not noticed any overloading. Now for some negatives. Sound quality on AM/SW , XHDATA use a very narrow filter which makes the audio a bit muffled, adding a Music/Talk switch could have simply switched to a Narrow/Wide filter, it's a DSP radio after all so selectable bandwidths are built in to the DSP chip. No external antenna input, this would be good to connect proper external antennas although I appreciate the fact that this radio is a small portable but it's so simple to add external antenna input. There is no 75 meter band which is very disappointing because 75m Is very active in Europe every night. I tested bluetooth and it works fine, sound quality is good. The 368 is very sensitive on FM and I had no problem pulling in weaker signals and the tuning dial is very accurate both on FM, AM and SW. Sound is also good on FM but sadly as I said they decided to use a very narrow filter for AM/SW. In the evening time I can pick up several MW stations several hundred Kms away and more. Not stellar MW performance but quite acceptable for a radio of this size, by comparison, my Tecsun PL-301et can't receive many stations that are clear on this 368. I live in a very quite area with little to no electronic generated noise that can seriously effect reception, but things like USB chargers, phone chargers, laptop chargers bad quality LED bulbs, stick to branded bulbs like Philips and Osram and stay away from Cheap no brand bulbs especially when it comes to ceiling and outdoor flood lights. If you are not able to receive many stations on all bands at different times of the day it's not the radio it could be interference especially if all you hear is buzzing, on this radio I can pick up many, many stations especially in the evening and night. Some wire 10 + meters out a window tied to a tree will greatly improve Shortwave reception. But even on the whip antenna I can pick up many stations, if you can't try go outside or take the radio to a quiet, less urban area where there's a lot of electronic noise. I haven't really tested battery life yet but I did not charge it yet after getting it and using it for several hours. USB C is very convenient for charging. Things I would absolutely love to see on a future model. I would love Long Wave. Much larger radio with back lit analogue display and buttons. 75m and SSB and more bands. SSB is useful to listen to Hams or some Air traffic on Shortwave. A large Display. External antenna input and selectable bandwidths. Use the bluetooth/ SD card media display for digital readout of frequency in the same red colour but keep the Analogue dial. Conclusion. Very surprised how well XHDATA managed to make the tuning so good and offers a much better analogue like experience. The selectivity of the radio is excellent, DSP radios with Analogue dial radios often likes to latch on to strong signals and it can be very difficult to select weaker stations but the 368 managed to tune in weaker stations with no issue. There is some muting on very weak stations but I found that I can't hear them either on the D-808. I noticed no images or overloading caused by strong signals. I hope to see more radios like this because I love Analogue dial radios but would love a bigger one with the features I mentioned above and I would pay more for it. I'm not really interested in USB/SD card or Bluetooth but I can see the appeal. Buy this radio, you won't be disappointing.

Great sounding little radio considering its size. Bought solely if there is a power cut. But everything on it works well. Feels quite solid and well-made. Picks up plenty of channels even here in Wales. Like the idea, it has rechargeable batteries. It Plays USB device music just fine. Not exactly cheap considering its size, but overhaul very pleased. Not had a chance to see how long the battery last yet, as not yet needed.

The sound quality is excellent. The controls are easy to use and well placed on the device. It has a sturdy feel and attractive appearance. It can pick up all sorts of stations very clearly. I am extremely impressed with this little radio. I love the fact that it is rechargeable and the battery seems to go on for a long time on a full charge.

For the price and size the speaker has good sound quality, but the band selector isn't properly alligned beyond FM2 so you have to wedge the selector between the notches to properly recieve AM and short wave.

Hugely impressed. The short wave reception was amazing in my house, I didn't think I'd even get a signal there's so many electronics and thick walls! Bluetooth and TF card is great. I loaded the card with ambient music and it's on the pillow. I would definitely travel with it.

sent it back could not get any stations

Verrassend goed geluid uit zo'n klein radio'tje. Opladen via USB-C kabel. Geen idee hoelang die het uithoudt met een volle batterij, maar wel errrrrrug lang. Het is een vrij klein doosje, dus het laat zich makkelijk opbergen.

En esto de coleccionar radios se encuentra un placer único siempre, y cuando adquieres un aparato como este (hablo de la XHDATA D-368), el resultado es grande, grande para un producto de pequeñas dimensiones, que puede ser portado en cualquier bolsillo del pantalón o chaqueta. Sus acabados son de calidad al tacto, y escuchar su pequeño altavoz una gozada. Lo tiene todo: toma de auriculares (estéreo en la FM), USB, toma de micro TF, Volumen manual, que se agradece enormemente (muchos ya saben del problema que suele tener el control digital de este elemento por el exceso de volumen al 1), ¡BLUETOOTH!, y RADIO FM con DSP, con lo cual la precisión de recepción es mucho mayor, AM y SW, esta última para los que nos gusta entretenernos de noche con la captura de señales de onda corta provenientes de cualquier otra parte del mundo. Calidad de sonido..., sin duda la mejor compañera para llevarla contigo a cualquier parte y nunca sentirte solo. Ah, se me olvidaba: lleva consigo una generosa batería recargable, para ahorraren pilas y contribuir al medio ambiente. Mejor compra, imposible, en cuanto a calidad-precio.

Manuel radyo düşünenler için çok güzel bir ürün, marka olarak satılan çok ürün bu ürünün eline su dökemez. Bluetooth desteği, 18650 şarjlı pil desteği ürünü tepeye almış

To mój kolejny zakup tego radia. Niestety drugi egzemplarz nic nie odbiera na falach krótkich SW. Pierwszy egzemplarz radia dobrze odbiera na wszystkich falach, na krótkich też. Radio na DSP. Czy producent nie sprawdza jakości odbiorników przed sprzedażą? Dziwne. Mam mieszane odczucia. Dobrze, że nieudany egzemplarz radia można zwrócić.

Das Xhdata D368 habe ich mir als Funkamateur aus reinem technischen Interesse gekauft. Ein digitales DSP-Radio für UKW, MW und KW inkl. Bluetooth, MP3-Player und 18650-Li-Ion-Akku für unter 15 Euro klingt sensationell. Das Fazit vorweg: Es ist sensationell! Es hat sehr guten Empfang auf allen Wellenbereichen und klingt auch erstaunlich gut. Als Techniker interessiert mich vor allem der Aufbau. Brauchte man in einem klassischen analogen (Superhet-)Empfänger noch haufenweise Schwingkreise und Filter, die alle exakt abgeglichen werden mussten, fehlt so etwas in einem DSP-Empfänger komplett. Der DSP-Chip TSC3836B erledigt das alles intern digital. Über ein Widerstandsnetzwerk mit Umschalter bekommt er eine Spannung und stellt dann selbstständig das Empfangsband, die Modulation und die Bandbreite ein. Das Drehrad zur Senderabstimmung bewegt auch keinen Drehkondensator mehr, sondern ein Potentiometer (einstellbarer Widerstand), das wiederum dem DSP-Chip nur eine veränderbare Gleichspannung liefert, die dieser als Empfangsfrequenz umsetzt. Der DSP rastert die Frequenz in kleine Sprünge. Das klingt zwar beim Durchstimmen des Bandes etwas unruhiger als bei einem analogen Radio, dafür rastet es aber sauber auf der Sendefrequenz der Sender ein, sodass diese sauber und verzerrungsfrei abgestimmt werden. Der Verstärker ist ein klassischer analoger AB-Verstärker (TC4863). Der Lautsprecher ist erheblich besser als die, die man üblicherweise in Taschenradios und Weltempfängern vorfindet. Er hat eine weiche Sicke und einen kräftigen Magneten und kann dadurch tiefe Frequenzen viel besser wiedergeben als die klassischen Billiglautsprecher mit Pappmembran. Das Radio klingt wirklich gut. Der 18650-Akku ist vom gleichen Hersteller wie das Radio. Mit Xhdata-Akkus habe ich bisher gute Erfahrungen gemacht. Das sind fabrikneue Qualitätszellen – bei einem 15-Euro-Radio keine Selbstverständlichkeit. Der Akku kann über USB-C automatisch geladen werden. Im Radio ist dazu ein spezialisierter Ladechip verbaut. Überladung ist unmöglich. Nun zum Empfang: Selbst schwache UKW-Sender kann man gut empfangen. Die Selektivität ist hervorragend. Der Ton ist sauber, auch bei UKW rastet das Radio sauber auf der exakten Frequenz ein und bleibt frequenzstabil. Über die Kopfhörerbuchse kann man UKW-Sender in Stereo hören. Der Frequenzgang ist sehr gut, es klingt hervorragend. Die Mittelwelle empfängt über die eingebaute Ferritantenne. Durch Drehen des Radios kann man diese auf einen Sender ausrichten, um den Empfang zu optimieren. Die Kurzwelle nutzt wie UKW die eingebaute Teleskopantenne. Alles nachfolgend Geschriebene gilt für MW und KW. Schwache Sender werden gut empfangen, starke übersteuern nicht. Die Selektivität ist hervorragend. Die Bandbreite ist im DSP fest auf 6 kHz eingestellt, was der üblichen Rundfunkbandbreite entspricht. SSB kann das Radio nicht. Aber die Empfangsqualität ist besser als die von analogen Weltempfängern, die vor wenigen Jahren noch 200 Euro kosteten. Inzwischen haben die modernen Weltempfänger auch DSP-Chips drin – teils bessere, teils die gleichen wie dieses Billigradio. Lohnt sich der Kauf? Eindeutig ja, wenn man ein kleines, gut klingendes Taschenradio haben will oder wenn man einen sehr günstigen, durchaus brauchbaren Weltempfänger sucht. Wenn man mehr Funktionen (SSB, Flugfunk, variable Bandbreite, Digitaldisplay) sucht, würde ich aber den D-808 vom gleichen Hersteller empfehlen. Der kostet zwar mit 60–88 Euro mehr, ist aber tatsächlich noch eine deutlich höhere Qualitätsstufe und ein echter Weltempfänger. Der billige D368 klingt aber definitiv besser.
