The Rolton W405 is an 18650 powered FM Stereo Portable Radio with an MP3 Player. If you're caught in the Dark, it has a built in Flashlight with an included UV secondary. The big takeaway is that this radio is Incredible on FM! This little receiver is playing ball with the "big boys" ! A replaceable 18650 adds to it's already incredible value. Worth Every Cent.

Features I like about this Radio:
FM Reception is Stellar! A huge Surprise.
FM Stereo sounds Great on Headphones.
Rechargeable & Replaceable 18650 Battery.
MP3 Player is Very Good. I use it for Old Time Radio Shows.
Numeric Keypad for Direct Frequency Entry. Useful.
Repeat Function.
PC Speaker Ability.
Flashlight and Ultraviolet Light is a Bonus.
Easy to Read LED display.
Decent Speaker Audio with Strong Mids and Highs. Same on Headphones.
Very Low Price.
Lock Button.
Sleep Function.
Auto Scan and Save.
Browse and Save.
Mute Radio Audio Feature.
Features that could be added or improved on:
Add Bluetooth.
Add Buttons for Manual Tuning of Radio.
Overall, this is a Must Buy if you enjoy FM radio. The reception is up there with the larger portable radios, such as my CC Radio EP-Pro. Having a replaceable 18650 is fantastic, and the MP3 player is icing on the cake :)

Ordered one, yesterday, on the strength of this review; a blue one cost me $13.14- the red one was $1 more. Amazon was almost out of stock at that time, about a dozen of each color. It's amazing how much you can get for so little money; about what going to a tavern for a cheeseburger and a bottle of suds would cost. Thanks for describing a protected battery vs cheaper LiOn and batteries. Couldn't find a protected Tenergy 18650 anywhere, however. FM and MP3 is fine, I use my big old GE Superadio or Panny 2200 for AM anyways, can't fit a 200mm ferrite or Gyro in this little guy. To people who think this radio is ugly, check out the blue and red colors instead, they really look decent, IMHO. Thanks for the tip, Todd

After reading your review 2 weeks ago, I went to buy myself one. This is really a very good buy, in terms of price and performance. I attach it to my desktop speakers via the 3.5mm audio output and it works beautifully. Reception is good in my room. The original 1500mAh Rolton 18650 battery can last about 6 hours of play. I just bought a 3400mAh Panasonic 18650 battery, let's see how long it can last.

I have four of these W405s and they are terrific. The sound is surprisingly good. I use it for loop playing of MP3s and I recommend using Samsung's Endurance Pro micro SD card for continuous playing (cheaper cards will eventually fail in these units). I also like that if you pull the battery out and use it plugged in to a wall switch, when turned back on it starts playing w/o the need to push any buttons on the unit. Unfortunately, Amazon is no longer selling this version of the radio. The only thing that could make this better is adding a Bluetooth 5.0 feature so I can listen using my Air Pods.

Picked up the red one today for 14.15 with 5% off I like this little fella.

Look at Rolton W505 (on ali) which is same but with lesser energy taking LCD and some more info on it. With 18650 3400 mAh it probably works ~4 times longer. Liittokala has NOPCB+pin compatible batteries. Also instead of that p in can be tried magnets from small earphones, for more common NOPCB battery without a p in.

Great radio! not a pleasing looks but a good quality ingredients... yeah it's like a food that has no pleasing looks but taste really good..haha amazing ROLTON! HOPEFULLY THEY MAKE GOOD LOOKING RADIOS..

@craignehring 3 года назад

I have a Rolton, not sure if it is this model or not LOL I may have given it to my daughter, can't seem to find it at the moment

@albertmarcz8023 3 года назад

does anyone make a decent model that records from the radio by timer,like the Sangean Pr-d8? with or without shortwave.

@ymelfilm 2 года назад

Downside: no night clock option. I m searching for the market and nobody makes the model that would have 1) digital clock visible by night, 2) torch 3) radio WITH analog volume button and possibly analog tuning or reachable channels with 0-9 buttons 4) small

@todderbert 2 года назад

May want to look into a capable emergency radio. I have a few coming up for review that fit the bill.
