⚠️ Important Notes
- The radio is powered by one 18650 3.7V Li-ion rechargeable battery. The 18650 Li-ion battery is not included. Due to regulations governing the air shipment of lithium-ion batteries, we do not ship batteries with the radio. Packages are inspected by X-ray before being loaded onto flights, and if a battery is found, the package is returned to the sender.
- The radio was designed to use a 3.7V 18650 Li-ion rechargeable battery. Use a standard, unprotected, flat-top 18650 cell. Do not use protected batteries or batteries with a raised/button-top (+) terminal as they will not fit inside the enclosure. Recommended battery Samsung INR18650-35E 3450mAh 8A.
- The radio can also operate directly from the USB-C power connection without a battery installed.
- Do not use a fast charger or USB-C Power Delivery (PD) charger. Use only a standard 5V USB-C mobile phone power charger.
- If you choose to use a battery, please use a high-quality, compatible 18650 Li-ion cell from a reputable supplier and follow the battery manufacturer’s safety instructions.
- When a charger is connected a red LED on the left side of the radio (close to the USB-C connector) will shine brightly. Only when the RED led turns off it means that the battery is fully charged.
- Some streaming services using HLS/DASH formats may not be supported.

Amazing Compact Internet Radio –
This radio has become one of my favorite little gadgets. I love being able to explore stations from all over the world, and the built-in Bluetooth transmitter is especially useful. I can easily listen through my AirPods or Bluetooth headphones without connecting any cables. Very happy with it!

Ein wirklich tolles Internetradio –
Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit dem Radio. Die Auswahl an Internetradiosendern ist unglaublich groß und die Bedienung ist einfach. Auch die Klangqualität hat mich positiv überrascht. Besonders praktisch finde ich die Bluetooth-Funktion. Damit kann ich die Musik kabellos an Bluetooth-Lautsprecher, Kopfhörer oder AirPods übertragen. Ein wirklich interessantes und gut gemachtes Projekt.

Michel (verified owner) –
This very tiny radio is truly fantastic, with no equivalent that I know of. A great job!
– The firmware is really clever, versatile, elegant, reliable, and very easy to use. One simple example: the fact that the radio starts on the last station listened to is a great feature. You just press the button, and your station comes on, almost like an old AM/FM transistor radio while still having all the possibilities of a modern Internet radio.
– The case is attractive and fits perfectly.
– The supplied tiny loudspeaker is excellent, delivering very good sound for the size of this radio.
– The documentation is also very comprehensive, detailed, and clear.
– The optional web interface for configuring the radio allows many options and is very easy to understand and use with a laptop or a smartphone.
– Wi-Fi reception is sensitive thanks to the antenna provided inside the case, but away from the mainboard.
– If you add a good battery, such as a Samsung 18650-35E 3400 mAh, the battery life is excellent.
– I chose the kit version, which was easy to assemble because it is already partly pre-assembled, with only a few parts left to put together. But you have to be very careful and use a very fine-tipped soldering iron, because it is so small.
– Last but not least, Ari is a kind and attentive person who helps you every day with excellent advice, from shipping all the way through to the completion of your build. You’re never alone!
In short, a little radio that becomes part of my everyday life and that is so pleasant to use. A real success!
