Good product for the money
The device has a nice appearance. It works in two power modes: either only from the main power or only from batteries. If you connect it to the main power without removing the batteries, it will work, but the batteries will fail, since there is always a voltage of 6.8 V on the battery compartment terminals when the device is connected to the main power. The manufacturer's technical support confirmed the absence of a charging module for the battery. Power consumption when powered from a DC power in 5 V: maximum 0.908 A, minimum 0.124 A. Inside the case there are 2 speakers of 3 W, 4 Ohm. The quality of the speakers is average. The range of reproduced frequencies is medium and high, there are no low frequencies. In the FM range reception mode, the receiver has good power, it works even with the folded antenna. The WiFi antenna is also quite powerful. The instructions lack characteristics for frequencies, loads and a description of all the icons on the display. The settings are not complicated, I figured it out quickly. There is enough space inside the case to install a 10A*h power bank, which I did.

The radio you didn't know you needed.
Are you hearing the same songs on every station in town? Same old stuff that hasn't changed in 20 or more years. Did you used to search for radio at night to pick up something different from farther away than you could drive, or maybe a shortwave fan. If you haven't discovered internet radio yet then I'd say this radio is a great way to start.Search the world at your fingertips. Easy and intuitive to use. Setup was way easier than I even planned for and within minutes I was chasing stations like my teen years. There's even an app, UNDOK, even though it's not mentioned anywhere. Hooks you up with an alternative app called Oktiv but it appears to be supplementary and I've been primarily using UNDOK for my "remote". I had been searching for weeks for the right radio up and down the price spectrum. I have a decent audio system and amp so I needed something with an audio out option and this radio checked all the boxes especially since I wasn't willing to dish out for ultra premium audiophile wet dream. To that, it's been a dream to use and the best purchase I've made in quite some time.Build quality is good and doesn't feel ultra cheap. Sound on it's own is about what you'd expect from a portable radio in the 70s before boom boxes became the thing. It's more suited to being hooked up to an amp for the best output. As previously stated controls are intuitive. I was worried I wouldn't be able to find the stations on my want list but I was adding favorites in less than 5 minutes. I haven't met the threshold of 30 saved stations but it is the one wall I see hitting first. 100 would be nice but I'm guessing it's a hardware limit.Since I live in the US the DAB radio isn't even an option. I don't mind as the radio is meant to be internet anyway. Haven't tried over the air FM for the same reason.All in all this is a great starter radio for a service many probably don't realize is available outside of Sirius radio. Worth the buy.

Does the job and good value.
I waited 7 months to write this review as I wanted to give the radio a fair trial. I was somewhat reluctant to buy it in the first place given the number of negative reviews. I previously had a Sangean WFR-28 internet radio (since 2015). That one worked okay, but had many quirks - mainly freezing and needing rebooting 2 or 3 times a week. I was forced to buy a new radio when the BBC stopped supporting their older internet streams - BBC radio 4 is the station I listen to most - so spoken word rather than music. The software for this LEMEGA radio seems to be an updated version of that on the Sangean. However, although it very occasionally crashes it is not nearly such a problem. It is also more compact and easier to set up. Considering the price I think the LEMEGA radio is a good deal.

Cannot recharge the batteries that YOU have to supply, how stupid is that? Speakers are garbage.
I really wanted to like this radio but it never failed to disappoint. The most annoying thing is you cannot recharge the batteries within the radio, they've got to be removed, recharged separately or replaced, I don't understand that because Amazon shows a rechargeable BL-5C in the photos, how stupid is that? The USB is ONLY to power the radio from an external power source, NOT for recharging. NOTE: even LEMEGA's website says "BUILT IN RECHARGEABLE BATTERY" so what's up with that? Next is the sound, well, it's fair at best, LEMEGA must use the cheapest driver/speakers because you can't go above 3/4 volume then the right speaker starts to make buzz, pop, cracking sounds, the volume goes from 0 to 32 and anything above 24 the right speaker sounds like it's blown and the funny thing is LEMEGA's advertising motto says "LEMEGA, LIFE & LOUD"....LIFE & LOUD? You must be kidding! It can't even handle it's own volume output! Plus it doesn't even have an equalizer! Then there's input/configuration method, the rotating knob takes care of 95% everything, it's the power button, the volume, the tuner control, the settings, adjustments and all necessary configurations so if you have a large WiFi password you'll be spending loads of time dialing up/down scrolling for everything which is very annoying and we'll all wonder how long that knob will last being subjected to all that. The Bluetooth is INPUT ONLY, that means you can use this as a Bluetooth speaker but there's NO Bluetooth output so you CANNOT connect an external Bluetooth speaker for better sound, that's stupid too. What LEMEGA needs to do is redesign this thing, put in a built-in 8000-10000 mAh rechargeable battery and be able to recharge the battery within the radio with the built-in charge circuit and it should be able to be recharged regardless if the radio is turned on or not, I can do that with my little Ocean Digital WR-26 so why not this? Next, ditch the knob, use more buttons or better yet touch screen. Use better quality speakers, the right one sounded blown right out of the box so that tells me they use cheap parts. Add Bluetooth OUTPUT for external speakers. The color screen was good and I had no trouble seeing what I needed to find so that was OK. I didn't use SPOTIFY, I used their regular internet portal (Frontier) and it worked fine, if LEMEGA implemented the changes to this radio I suggested they'd have a much better approval rate than 3.5 stars, so after saying all this I ended up returning it.
