FAQ

A: According to customer reviews, the sound quality is noticeably better with the additional speaker. It's recommended to purchase both for a true stereo experience.

Q: Is there a USB charging port? I want a clock radio that has Bluetooth, AM/FM, a clock display, USB charging for two devices (fast charge a plus).
A: No, this radio does not have a USB charging port.
Q: Does Bluetooth transmit or just receive? I have a nice Marshall Bluetooth speaker and I'm looking for a radio to play on it.

A: The back of the radio is not shown in product images. However, customers have shared photos in their reviews.
