Victrola Retro Bluetooth/FM/AM Radio

I bought this Victrola Bluetooth Radio because I wanted to leave the radio playing for my dog whenever I leave the house. I also wanted to listen to my podcasts on it while I prepped dinner or did chores. I love the retro look. The sound quality is fantastic. The tuner dial can be a little touchy. I will have the radio set to one station and then turn it off only to turn on and it’s either set to an adjacent station or is staticky. The Bluetooth connectivity for this radio is disappointing. Some of my podcasts and music will skip or sputter. These same podcasts will play fine on other Bluetooth speakers and headphones. None of the common solutions have worked to fix this issue so far. To make matters worse, the volume level for Bluetooth is pretty low considering the size of the speaker. Which is also strange because the volume for the radio function is louder than its capacity for Bluetooth. I even designated this speaker as an external speaker on my phone but it didn’t make much of a difference. My JBL speaker is louder and is 1/4 the size of this radio. I recommend this if you’re looking for a neat little retro-looking radio. I do not recommend this if you want to use it with Bluetooth.
