Best Portable Headset Radios of 2025

"I really like this radio. It has decent sound for the price, and I mostly use it to listen to AM talk radio. It's perfect for keeping on hand during power outages, and it's compact enough to fit in my pocket. I even bought a few for family."

"I got this radio for my power outage kit, and it performed flawlessly during testing. The battery life is impressive, and it picks up local stations clearly. While the AM reception isn't the best, the FM is great, and the sound quality is good for such a small device."

"I've always found cheap radios lacking, but this one exceeds expectations. It has a great speaker and picks up AM & FM perfectly. I appreciate that it's manual tuning—no electronics to fail. It’s a solid choice for anyone needing a functional radio."

"I recently bought this DreamSky AM FM Portable Radio, and I'm thoroughly impressed with its performance. It's the perfect size for taking on the go, and I love the dual power options for home or outdoor use. The AM/FM reception is excellent, and the sound quality is surprisingly clear. User-friendly controls make tuning a breeze. Overall, I highly recommend it!"

"This radio is just what I wanted: a good, solid, small radio that’s easy to set up. I didn't need any fancy features, and this radio delivers exactly what I expected. The reception is great, and it's perfect for power outages!"

"I absolutely love this little radio! It's not taking up much space on my counter, and I enjoy listening to it while cooking. It's a great value for the money and has a nice vintage look!"

"I love that my husband doesn't hear outside noise while wearing these. Good find!!"

"I use these headphones daily while walking my dog. Sound quality and reception are excellent! My only issue is that the lowest volume setting could be quieter for my preference. I also wish I could switch between two channels easily. Overall, I'm very satisfied and would buy them again if needed."

"These headphones are surprisingly good for the price. I was impressed with the sound quality! They work well even over my stocking cap while shoveling snow."

"As a letter carrier, my pocket radio was essential. I found the SANGEAN DT-120 after my AIWA broke, and I couldn't be happier. It's slightly larger but still lightweight. The reception is excellent, and I appreciate the 15 preset options. While the preset buttons are a bit small, it's hardly a dealbreaker. The AM reception is great at night, and the FM stereo is crystal clear. I use it daily, and the battery lasts about a week and a half!"

"For jogging and gym sessions, I love this radio. After two months of use, I recently changed the batteries for the second time. The FM reception is fantastic, even for distant stations. I do experience some static with local AM stations indoors, but I usually hold the radio to avoid this. Overall, I think this is the best radio I've ever owned!"

"I've had my second Sangean radio, and I have to say, I prefer the DT-180 over the 210. It's more compact and lighter, which has helped me avoid dropping it. The volume controls are better, and while it lacks an external speaker, I primarily use headphones anyway. I would definitely recommend it!"

“I was pleased with the delivery and cost, but the headphones are not great. They struggled to pick up stations, and the auxiliary line didn’t work well with both radio and phone. Maybe it was just a bad unit?”

“I bought these for my senior mom, who was using headphones that were 20 years old. The quality looks good, and they're very comfortable. I'm really happy with this purchase.”

“I work from my golf cart all day, and these headphones let me listen to my favorite radio station while I work. This is the second set I've purchased; someone took the first ones from my cart, and I’m sure they’re enjoying them as much as I did.”

"Initially, I struggled to turn the radio on. I used some new batteries that I had bought in bulk, but they didn't work. After deciding to buy a fresh pair of AAA batteries, the radio powered up, and I was pleased to find that it worked quite well. It's very small and basic, yet it delivers clear sound and decent reception on all my local channels. It's also surprisingly sturdy for the price. I'm not sure how long it will last, but I'm happy with it for now and have cancelled my return."

"I absolutely love this radio! Great size, excellent sound, and the price is just right! I took it on a two-mile walk and enjoyed listening to FM radio. Super easy to use! Unfortunately, I lost the battery cover and I’m unsure who to contact for a replacement!"

"Overall, I’d rate this a '4'. I expected a slightly larger radio, but it turned out to be pocket-sized, which I wanted. I really like the clip on the back for attaching it to my belt or shirt. However, I had a minor issue when I tried to clip it to my shirt collar; the channel changed unexpectedly. I think the side was soft enough that it bent when I held it, causing the channel to change."

"I've been using this for 3 years and it picks up local radio stations perfectly. It's easy to recharge and holds the charge for many hours. Just great!"

"I bought this for my handicap brother, who loves radios. He finds the stations very clear. I’m testing it out and I may get one for myself because I absolutely love it!"

"I found it works well enough on my tractor while mowing. It connects well, sounds good, and fits great. The volume is loud enough to hear over the mower."

"I bought this radio for my eight-year-old daughter who wanted her own music. She set it up herself and is thrilled with it. It's tough and has a great range of features. The earbuds work well too. This radio has become her new travel companion!"

"I needed a small radio to replace an older one. This digital tuner is much better and easy to carry. It has 20 presets, which is fantastic, but setting them was a bit tricky. The display is large and easy to read, and I love the lock feature to prevent accidental presses."

"This radio has been a lifesaver for my newly blind friend. It's user-friendly, small enough to fit in his pocket, and even after being dropped multiple times, it still works perfectly. He takes it with him whenever he leaves the house, and it really helps to calm him."

“I just loved this radio. I took it outside of the USA, and it worked perfectly. The headphones were comfortable, the battery lasted the whole day, and it delivered great sound.”

“I bought this for my mom, who isn't technologically savvy. It's a basic radio that does exactly what she needs. The sound was clear, and it has easy navigation for tuning. No reception problems yet!”

“While this radio is far from perfect, it is quite nice. It’s super compact and easy to use. The push button controls work well, and the sound quality is decent for the price.”

"I bought this for my dad because he is old school, and he absolutely loved it. The battery lasts a long time between charges, and the sound is great and loud. It was a wonderful gift for someone who doesn't care much for technology."

"I got these headphones for my daughter, and she takes them everywhere. They have good sound quality and are very comfortable for her. I did notice the headband started to crack, but honestly, I have a kid who's really rough with her things, so I didn’t think much of it."

"I decided on these headphones because they were one of the few rechargeable options available. The FM frequency is low enough to use with FM transmitters for the hearing impaired, and they are very comfortable for long periods. If I ever need another pair, I would definitely choose these again."
