LEMEGA IR4S Stereo WiFi Internet Radio,FM Digital Radio, Spotify Connect, Bluetooth Speaker, Dual Alarms Clock, 40 Presets, Headphone-Output, Batteries or Mains Powered – Black Finish

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.

This is a low budget wifi internet radio but it works great ! It looks nice, is compact, sounds very good for its size and is easy to set up. Another nice feature is the ability to power it with regular AA batteries (or rechargeables or regular power). There is, however, some confusion on how to set up presets and this is causing some to return the radio. It is easy to save presets 1 and 2 but #3-20 doesn't seem to work. The instruction manual is a bit confusing and, I believe, has a typo that makes it even more confusing. But, in reading reviews, I saw that another buyer downloaded an Adroid app to his phone called Como Control. This app actually works in conjunction with the Lemega IR1 (not sure why) and it allows you to fill all over your preset slots on the radio ! This is the answer many have been looking for. And, if you want to delete some and add other stations, you can do that too. So, IF you use this app, this is the best bargain on the market when it comes to internet radio ! I hope my review helps others who were very frustrated when trying to add stations to the preset slots. One final note: some reviewers have said that the radio is very poor in picking up FM stations. This is not the case with mine. It works great on regular FM! (ADDITIONAL NOTE: after contacting Lemega, they clarified the question of saving presets #3-20. Once you're listening to a station that you would like to save in presets 3-20, you long-press the 3+ button, scroll to the preset position where you want to save the station. Then do a quick press of the volume control. The station is then saved to that preset. I thought I had tried this method previously, but apparently not because this time and using this method, it works !! I thanked their tech support but expressed the opinion that their instructions in the manual could have been better!)

Great for listening to radio/wifi stations around the world, but unable to load streaming apps other than Spotify, which is preloaded.

This is my second one of these radios. On my first one the inside part of the power plug that attaches to the circuit board broke off when I tried to plug the power USB in again. I had only had the radio about two months at that time. For a portable unit, it is surprisingly fragile in the plug area. To the manufacturer's credit, they quickly refunded the purchase price. I did like the internet radio feature and decided to get a second one and us it only as a bed side radio/alarm so I didn't need to worry about the plug. It was fine for a while but then a few months later trouble started. Randomly it started having connection issues to the internet radio, and even stranger time issues. Like you would look and see that the time was very wrong and moving very slowly. I timed it a few times and it would take about 15min of actual time for the time on the clock to advance one minute. I've had this happen in the middle of the night when I needed the alarm for work in the morning. Obviously a clock you can't even trust the time on is very much frustrating and useless. If you unplug it, it will sometimes work fine for weeks or months, but just this weekend, power-cycling only fixed it for a day before it started it's slow motion time bug again. I did contact the manufacturer when the problem first started, but this time they didn't even respond. At this point I can't rely on this clock because I can't trust it to keep keeping time. If you just want a radio, this might be okay, but buy at your own risk.
