Benefits of Internet Radio.
Internet radio offers a myriad of benefits that have revolutionized how people consume audio content. One of the most significant advantages is the vast diversity of programming available. Unlike traditional radio, which is limited by geographic boundaries and
frequency restrictions, internet radio can broadcast globally, providing listeners with access to an immense variety of genres, cultures, and perspectives. This means that niche genres, independent artists, and specialized content, which might not find a place on conventional radio, can flourish online. Whether a listener is interested in obscure music genres, specific cultural content, or niche talk shows, internet radio offers something for everyone, making it a powerful tool for cultural exchange and personal enrichment.
Another major benefit of internet radio is the convenience and accessibility it offers. With the rise of smartphones, tablets, and other connected devices, listeners can access their favorite stations anytime and anywhere, provided they have an internet connection. This flexibility is enhanced by the fact that many internet radio services offer customizable experiences. Users can create their own playlists, discover new music based on their preferences, and enjoy features like on-demand playback, which traditional radio cannot match. Additionally, the lack of geographical restrictions means that expatriates and travelers can stay connected to their home country’s media and cultural programming, maintaining a sense of connection no matter where they are. Overall, the accessibility and customization options provided by internet radio make it a superior choice for many listeners in today’s digital age.
What’s in the box
The box is absolutely beautiful! So well designed and looks very premium, inside there is foam padding to keep your brand new radio safe, also we have a hand strap and USB Charging cable and a short compact user manual.
The radio.
There is no other way of putting it, this radio is stunningly beautiful and you feel the quality as soon as you pick it up and turn it on. It has an IPS screen with a backlight, also all the keys light up so you can see everything you need day or night, you can also change via the settings menu whether you want the backlight to remain on all the time or to auto turn off after x amount of seconds. You can also listen to media via the SD card (up to 32gb) and can be used as a bluetooth speaker, this really is an all in one device and with the HUGE batteries included (5000mAh) I have got many many hours of enjoyment from the radio on just one charge!
The audio is also fantastic with 2 15w speakers behind the metal grill to keep them from getting damaged. The right of the radio offers 3 knobs, the top knob acts as a multi function knob that can also be pushed to select menu items etc.. This also acts as a tuning knob, the middle knob is used for fine tuning and also is a push button, this can be used for things like adjusting the bandwidth whilst listening to SW/MW stations. The bottom knob is used for turning the radio on/off and adjusting the volume. You also have a 3.5mm jack to install an external antenna, a USB charging port as well as a headphone jack.
My overall thoughts.
This radio is absolutely beautiful, it’s got amazing functionality and I’m sure it will be my go to radio for many years. There’s so many things I love about the LC 90, I love the audio quality whether you’re listening to music or podcasts it just sounds amazing. I love the fact you can add an SD card and listen to music or podcast directly via the card, you can also do software updates directly through the radio, a super cool feature. The display is crisp and clear and the build quality is superb. I will link my youtube review below so you can see a few of the features this radio can do that may not have been covered here. Overall I feel this is a great radio and will use it for years to come.
