Let's talk about portable speakers with a built-in FM module. Such devices are convenient from all sides, because you can listen to music if the radio stations are far away or you just forgot the drive. The main thing is that both options are not at the same time.
The main aspects when choosing such columns are:
Portability. This includes dimensions, or rather their totality. Columns with a cylindrical shape, relatively light and easy to set up, can be considered optimal.
Supported media. The more, the better, you never know what conditions you will find yourself in.
autonomy. When traveling, mobility is extremely important, especially over long distances.The optimum can be considered an autonomous operating time of 7-8 hours.
We have selected for you the top 10 best portable speakers with FM radio for comfortable movement and travel.
Top 10 Best Portable FM Radio Speakers
10 Mystery MBA 733UB
Country: Russia
Average price: 2 000 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.2
For unpretentious buyers, this is a good choice. The price of 2000 rubles determines the sound of average quality, which is suitable for gatherings in the country in the gazebo or just barbecues in nature. Bass is present but weak. The appearance is more than worthy - it's not a shame to pick it up and go outside. When connected via bluetooth, it keeps a distance of up to 15 meters. Connecting is very simple - turn on the speaker, find it in the smartphone settings, select it, that's all.
Weight for such a baby is impressive - only 1 kg. At maximum volume, the speaker starts to wheeze. Bluetooth does not work with all devices, which, however, the manufacturer warns about in the instructions. There is no visual information about which frequency is selected here. The name and frequency can only be learned from the live broadcast. The battery is non-removable. Recharging is long due to the current of 1A at a voltage of 5V.
9 TELEFUNKEN TF-PS1243B
Country: China
Average price: 1 500 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.4
If this rating had been compiled somewhere in the 40s of the last century, it would definitely have been topped by models from Telefunken, who were Hi-Fi innovators. Alas, the Germans lost the once huge innovative corporation that united AEG and Siemens, and now more than 200 organizations work under the great name.The quality is no longer what it was under Wilhelm II, Goebbels and the Beatles, but good models come across.
The hero of the rating from Telefunken has proven itself well, the reviews in RuNet are very positive. The dimensions are average - you won’t be able to vilify in your pocket, but the column is quite light - about 700 grams and there is a convenient handle for carrying it. Of the ports - mini jack 3.5, a slot for a flash drive and microSD support. The case is plastic, the assembly is normal. The battery is 1500mAh, at medium volume it should be enough for about 10 hours of playback. The sound is not bad and quite clear, there are few complaints from users about FM reception, the volume reserve should also be enough - there is a 15 W speaker in the column. Well, the price for such a device is more than acceptable.
8 Hoco BS39
Country: China
Average price: 1 200 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.5
What is Hoco, many will probably ask. A company from Hong Kong with about 10 years of history, producing good equipment and mobile accessories. They monitor the quality and functionality of their products, are engaged in independent development and are trying to break into the world market. In Russia, they were officially introduced relatively recently. Paying attention to this portable speaker in the first place is for those who are looking for a very compact and inexpensive device.
Now about the hero of the rating. Indeed, very good build quality and the declared water protection according to the IPX5 standard. The pleasant design and miniaturization of the device immediately catches the eye - the column is made in the form of a cylinder 12 centimeters high and 8.7 cm in diameter, and the weight is only 327 grams.The power of the built-in battery is 1200 mAh, this should be enough for about 6 hours of playback. The radio, judging by the reviews, catches well, the sound is also very decent with a good volume margin. There is support for external USB drives, a card reader, an audio jack and even a strap for easy carrying. And all this for, you see, ridiculous money.
7 SVEN PS-490
Country: Russia
Average price: 5 700 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.6
Quite a loud speaker, delivering 101 dB at a distance of 1 meter. The design is very similar to classical Chinese, when the manufacturer tries to compensate for the technical shortcomings of his offspring due to the appearance. However, the sound here is pleasant, without wheezing and overloads. There are two speakers.
The control panel looks futuristic, has many joysticks and buttons for fine adjustments. You can charge it from any power bank because of the unified charging port. You can also use a memory card as a drive, only its format is not classic, but TF. If you disassemble the speaker into parts, you can see a 2000 mAh battery. Each speaker has 6 ohms and 18 watts of power. At maximum volume, the battery life is no more than 2 hours.
6 JBL Wind 2
Country: USA (made in China)
Average price: 3 000 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.6
With all due respect to JBL, I have to say right away - this is not their best column. But when compared with competitors, all the same, Harman wins in many respects. Designed primarily for active comrades who love to listen to music, for example, during cycling races. There is a special bracket here to attach to the steering wheel, and a carabiner.There are no complaints about the assembly, but JBL did not have any failures with this. In addition to the standard functions for a portable speaker with fm, there is microSD support (reading memory cards up to 64 GB), AUX input, IPX7 housing protection and a monochrome LED display that displays basic information.
As for the radio, we can say that it catches normally. That's normal - there are not enough stars from the sky. Actually, in the reviews, many write that the reception quality could be better. The sound power is average - 5 W, and when compared with other models of the company, it loses a little in terms of sound quality. Among the other minuses is an old micro-usb connector, and a too tight rubber plug for the charging port, which is written about in almost every second review of the speaker.
5 Digma S-32
Country: China
Average price: 2 000 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.7
Digma has made significant headway in the portable speaker market with the S-32, which has the perfect backlight tone to match the music being played. The delivery set consists of the speaker itself, waste paper, USB cables for charging and audio. The model is made in a cylindrical shape and in appearance resembles a can of soda. In practice, this shape is ideal for placement in the sidewalls of a backpack or on the body of a bicycle.
The main area of the case is occupied by a metal one behind which there is a 6 W speaker. The main highlight of the model was a multi-zone backlight with many LEDs. The memory contains several adjustment modes, which are controlled using a separate button. Manipulations with the rest of the functionality also occur using buttons.The memory card slot is located on the side, which, coupled with the built-in FM-receiver, will allow you to use it separately from your smartphone.
4 Perfeo FORCE
Country: Russia (produced in China)
Average price: 1 500 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.8
Very compact, high-quality and inexpensive column of domestic production. I would like to emphasize the last point separately, since there are few portable devices of this plan from Russian manufacturers, and I don’t really want to recommend those that are. Yes, she is inferior to many in this category, but still already on the level. Numerous reviews of the owners confirm the high build quality of the device, pretty good functionality and quite decent sound.
So, what does Perfeo offer us for one and a half thousand rubles? A very nice portable device (about 400 grams), with a fairly clear and loud sound, taking into account the dimensions. Two speakers with a total power of 15 watts are responsible for the sound here. If you get tired of the music transmitted from your phone or the built-in FM radio, you can use external ports and connect a USB flash drive or memory card. There is an AUX audio input, a microphone, Bluetooth 5.0, and a built-in 2600 mAh battery is enough for about 10 hours of music playback at medium volume. It charges for about 3 hours with micro-USB charging, which could be called a minus if you want to find fault with the device.
3 Digma S-37
Country: China
Average price: 3 630 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.8
Excellent, according to customer reviews and balanced bass has become the main advantage of this model.Despite the “sneezing” at higher frequencies, this problem is eliminated with the help of an equalizer or bass adjustment. Recommended listening at a bitrate below 320 Kb. The appearance is simple and pleasant at the same time. There are several backlight modes and the ability to turn it off completely. The central part of the case is matte and pleasant to the touch, looks brutal and masculine. However, the fair sex can also use it without hesitation.
The battery is capacious, the volume is 3600 mAh. Enough for an average of 12 hours. On the left side of the case is a large active speaker, and a subwoofer on the right. This portable speaker is suitable for traveling by car, as it is quite massive and walking down the street with it is not very convenient. FM radio operates in the frequency range from 87.5 to 108 MHz. There is support for Micro SD cards up to 64 GB.
2 Sodo L1 Life
Country: China
Average price: 2 600 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.8
One of the most interesting solutions in the field of color music. Many modes, up to turning off the color, allow for complete customization by yourself. For kids, it's a godsend. A capacious battery, according to the manufacturer, is enough for 12 hours, and according to customer reviews, for 9-11. There are no distortions at high or low frequencies, as interference and noise. The device is able to accept almost any drive, be it a flash drive or a card. The connection is fast enough, it does not “fall off” during use. FM radio included.
The build quality is good, the rubberized material on the back surface is located on the side where there are buttons. In the hands, as well as on the table, it fits comfortably, both in terms of ergonomics and tactile sensations.Despite the relatively weighty dimensions, this "heaviness" is more pleasant, as there is a feeling that it is the column in your hand, and not the "dummy".
1 JBL Tuner 2FM
Country: USA (made in China)
Average price: 7 500 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.9
This portable speaker with radio from JBL surpasses its fellow concern in the ranking and rightfully takes the first line. The assembly and performance materials in the spirit of JBL are pleasantly pleasing, and most importantly, there are no problems with FM reception. Excellent reception quality, without interference, largely due to the telescopic antenna built into the body. You can save up to 5 radio stations in the device's memory. The sound power here is also 5 watts, but it is loud and clear, with well-developed frequencies. A fairly compact model with a weight of about 500 grams.
Reviews are almost all positive. Basically, buyers note the sound, the quality of the radio signal reception and the good sensitivity of its settings, the presence of moisture protection and a screen, a long operating time (about 12 hours at medium volume), convenient settings and ease of operation. However, for decency, we single out a minus: for some reason there is no plug for the charging connector, so it will eventually become clogged with dust. By the way, the battery is charged using type-c, which pleases.
