Currently, in the 1000 Rupees range the best portable radio is Philips RL384. This Philips radio model is very old. If I am not wrong, it has completed close to 20 years on the market. While I was studying in 10 standards, I used to have this Philips Radio model. I was in 10th standard in the year 2003, and this is 2019. What is surprising though, it is one of the best-selling portable radios in the Indian market even today.

This Philips radio will impress you with its build quality, sound quality, and signal reception. Philips is already a reputed name for speakers.

However, after having listened to this radio for close to 3 years, almost every day, I say with full surety that the Philips Champion RL384 radio produces loud and clear sound with balanced bass. Go for it. It is worth it at the current market price.

The Bluetooth feature on this device would come in handy for any person who does not want to damage his phone’s loudspeaker by playing loud music.

Channel Saving and Enhanced Auto-search: This is not a very common feature on small radios like the Avantree portable radio. Nonetheless, with auto search enabled on the device, you can be able to search and save all available channels in your location.

6 Sound modes for the best sound output: This radio is equipped with 6 sound tuning options, which include rock, pop, classic, soft, natural, and jazz tones. These tones are tailored to suit the listener’s needs and can be activated when playing music from Micro SD or Bluetooth.
