Vintage Greadio Walnut Wood Bluetooth Speaker Review
Elegant Vintage Wood Design
The Greadio speaker is made of real walnut wood and blends modern tech with a retro 1950s look. Its warm wood finish and old-fashioned tuning dial give it a classic, nostalgic feel. Even the front has a cloth grill and wood knob, adding to the vintage charm. It can double as a piece of decor or artwork on your desk or shelf, matching other wood furniture.
The unique style sets it apart from typical modern speakers. For many owners, it’s more than a gadget—it’s a piece of nostalgia.
Modern Bluetooth Connectivity
The speaker has Bluetooth (advertised as 5.0) for fast wireless pairing. Switch it to Bluetooth mode and find “FY-R919” on your phone to connect. It also includes a microSD/TF card slot and a 3.5mm AUX input.
This means you can stream music from any device or play files from a memory card. The versatile inputs ensure you can always find a way to enjoy your favorite tunes, even without Bluetooth.
Powerful Sound and Bass Enhancement
Despite its small size, the Greadio delivers powerful sound. It uses a built-in bass enhancement system and dual 3W amplifiers to boost low tones. The result is fuller, stereo-rich audio that often surprises users.
With up to 5W total output, it can fill a room and still sound clear. Bass is warm and punchy without distortion at higher volume. You really feel the music, from deep beats to clear vocals.
FM Radio and Media Playback
The Greadio also works as a real FM radio. Switch it to FM mode and use the tuning knob to find stations (extend the antenna for best reception).
Channel scanning is manual, which can be fun and brings back old-school radio vibes. You can listen to local music or news just like a vintage radio. The analog radio feature adds variety and nostalgia to how you play tunes.
Battery Life and Portability
The Greadio has a built-in 1100mAh battery that charges in about 4 hours. After charging, it will play for around 8–9 hours on a full charge. This makes it handy for a full workday or a long outing.
It is very light and compact (about 4.4 x 2.7 x 2 inches and 0.5 pounds), so you can easily carry it in a bag. In short, the battery life and size mean you can take your music wherever you go.
