Many people think that radio is out of use, but the truth is that it is still more alive than ever, with incredible new things hitting the market every month.
And that's why in this video I'm going to reveal the top 5 smart radio brands that you've probably never heard of. Stay with me until the end because I'll leave links in the video description. Let's go?
The Sisi Wi-Fi 3 is a radio produced by Sisi Crane, one of the pioneers in the manufacture of internet radios since the 2000s. This radio can be powered by an adapter connected directly to the electrical network. It has a Wi-Fi connection to a database of 30,000 stations, accessible through the Skytune platform.
If the station you want is not available, you can add it to the radio. The receiver comes with a remote control that allows you to perform all of the device's functions. In addition, it has an alarm clock and equalizer.
A weak point is that it does not have an FM receiver. The price of Sisi Wi-Fi 3, including taxes, is R$1,450. For more information about Sisi Wi-Fi 3, check out the link in the description.
The TECSUN NR100 is a compact model launched on the Chinese market at the end of 2023 and so far does not have a global version. However, you can find it on AliExpress in the Chinese version. This device offers Wi-Fi connection, 4G, SD card slot, FM radio, voice search and alarm clock function.
The value of TECSUN NR100, including taxes, is R$1,000. This is a device that I will certainly buy when a global version comes out. Therefore, when it comes to TECSUN, we know it is worth it.
INSCABIN Internet Rádio is a relatively new white label brand on the market. On AliExpress you can find several portable models from the brand. In the Smart Radios category, the D4 stands out, with two stereo speakers, and the D2, a more affordable model with a single speaker .
The manufacturer promises good crystal-clear sound quality with a good balance between mids, bass and treble. The internet connection is made via Wi -Fi, and the device has a database with 25 thousand radio stations. Equipped with a remote control, it also offers Bluetooth and Spotify Connect function, allowing you to play your favorite playlists and podcasts.
The color display shows information such as the name of the radio station, the song currently playing and the album art. The output power is 5 watts, however, a weak point is the absence of radio frequency, limiting use to internet transmissions, which can be a risk if the device no longer has access to the world wide web. The D4 model, with taxes included, costs around R$899, while the D2 is available for R$679 .
RETEKESS is a well-known brand in Brazil that offers a new internet radio model , the TR640. This device has an FM radio in the range of 87. 5 to 108 MHz.
It has a slot for a pendrive and TF card up to 256 GB, and is capable of playing files in MP3, WMA, WAV, APE and FLAC format. It can be powered by 4 AA batteries or connected to the mains, and has an 8-watt speaker. In addition, it has an equalizer, timer and Bluetooth.
You can purchase the RETEKESS TR640 directly from the official RETEKESS store on AliExpress for R $674, but be careful, when purchasing, check availability for your region. This device has 110V and 220V versions, in addition to being certified by Anatel. The Choyong AW8 is the smaller brother of the LC90 and LC Mini models.
This portable radio has a 4G Wi-Fi connection, in addition to receiving FM signals. With an SD card slot, it allows you to search for stations on the internet by voice command. Its database has more than 40 thousand stations, and you can add radio stations that are not available in the list.
The AW8 is powered by a 2,000 mAh rechargeable battery and has a 5-watt speaker. You can find it at the official Choyong store on AliExpress for R$667, including taxes. I'm very afraid of buying radios that depend solely on the internet, like the INSCABIN models and the CC Crane.
CC Crane faced problems at the beginning of the distribution of the first radios, when the database that provided information for the brand stopped working and the receiver became unusable. At that time, there was no option to add radios to the device, but today there is. However, these models do not yet have an FM radio, so it is a personal decision to consider.
Do you really want a frequencyless radio? If the device fails and there is no technical assistance, will you just be left with a Bluetooth box? Now, if you already have several radios and want to have an internet-only radio with no frequency, well, maybe one of these models could be the solution, even if there is no one to fix it later if there is a problem.
In my opinion, hybrid radios offer more security and more usage options, so always give preference to these options, because if either stops working, whether due to frequency or internet, you will still have the radio working. Here on the channel I have three models of hybrid radios, take a look at this radio here from Ocean Digital. And here below, in the video description, you will find the link to the stores of the models I showed in this video.
