Internet radio is popular because of the wide selection it offers listeners. Podcasts and music from all over the world give it an edge over other competition. Listening to is possible obviously on web connected devices from computers to smart phones, but there are also dedicated internet radio players. Costs vary of course as does the quality of the audio these devices offer. Paying under $150 for one of these devices is rare however.

However, there is one possibility if you are on the search for something a bit more budget friendly. The Q2 Wi-Fi internet radio regularly costs around $129 (but of course can be found for less on sale). It  won't take up much tabletop or countertop space and in fact, is highly portable.  It measures only 6.4' x 7.8" x 7.5" and offers a single 2.4" 4ohm speaker. Of course it picks up music and podcasts from across the globe, but users can set up 4 station pre-sets to make tuning into their favorite stations quick and simple.

This radio has no display and no buttons, instead users move the radio itself to increase/decrease volume, change stations, and so forth. For instance, to mute the sound, it merely needs to be flipped over onto it's face.  Pretty intuitive. It provides stereo audio through headphones and mono without them. The Lithium-ion battery provides up to 8 hours of playback.
