Radios

The capabilities of radios have expanded far beyond the AM/FM radios your mom and dad listened to while waiting for their morning coffee to brew. You can now choose from many different options, such as a home radio with built-in Bluetooth capability that enables you to stream music from your smartphone or tablet. Or you can enjoy home satellite radio with Sirius XM service.

There are plug-in radios, rechargeable radios and radios that run on household batteries. Battery-operated radios can be an important tool to help you be prepared for severe weather. In that situation, it’s a good idea to have an emergency radio on hand, or at the very least a radio with battery backup. Emergency radios will signal an alert with information about incoming storms and inclement weather patterns. These weather radios can enhance your overall emergency preparedness.

Choosing the best radios for you depends greatly on how and where you’ll be using them for listening. For example, portable radios and personal radios are great for taking with you while traveling, camping, or going out for a walk in your neighborhood because some are small enough to fit in a pocket. Retro radios add a pop of style to your home or office while also serving your listening needs.

For more sophisticated aesthetics, there are digital radios blend with modern décor. Bluetooth radios along you to toggle between podcasts or music you have on your phone and the local radio stations. Plus, alarm clock radios make a great addition to your bedroom nightstand.

If you want the option of private listening, look for a radio with Bluetooth connectivity for wireless headphones. And if some of your beloved music is on CD, you could consider a boombox that combines a CD player and AM/FM radio in one device. If you’re still holding on to cassettes, you can still find a few boombox radios that let you jam out to mix tapes from your youth. For an even bigger jump back in time, you could choose a turntable with a built-in radio. No matter where you’re listening, we can help you find the best radio for your audio enjoyment at Best Buy.
