I live 50 miles outside of Los Angeles and have a hard time picking up am stations. I like the size of this radio.it is easy to carry in your pocket. However, I expected the signal strength to be better. I have had cheaper radios that can pick up stations easier. So, a bit dissappointed but it is a good radio that is overpriced.
The optional Bass booster(DBB) helps a lot with the qualtiy. The sound quality is almost as good as an mp3 player.
And this is by far the best radio for the price. I just got it recently, and i love it.
I have read tons of reviews on this radio and others similar to it. (Headphone Jack).
The reception is great, its small and easy to carry in your pocket. It can pick up even weak stations with the external antenna.
I have an ipod and the quality is very close to it. So if your looking for a small, great sounding radio, this is the one for you.
I have used this little guy for the past 3.5 years. I have dropped it several times on the concrete floor, I keep the battery door on with a rubber band. Mostly I use it in one spot at work for a few hours a day. Good reception. Very tough little radio. Use rechargeable batteries.
The DT-200X is over an inch thick.Here's a website you can visit to see the Sony to which I'm comparing: audcubes2 dot com. That's not true. Yes, the Sony is friggin' expensive.This Sangean radio has made me a big fan of the company. Having owned the Sony for 3 years I'm kinda curious why Sangean can't make a smaller, thinner unit with the same great reception and sound.
The Sony T615 can only be purchased in Japan or via websites that sell Japanese mainland products. However, I purchased the Sangean because of many good reviews and I'm not disappointed. To me, having presets is huge as I prefer to surf my favorite radio stations when commercials are run. You won't have to refer back to the manual again once you learn it.Someone else complained that the speaker was tinny.
You can easily listen to radio via the speaker. There are up and down arrows on the front of this unit. You may think that the lack of preset buttons is inconvenient, however, I have radio controls on the steering wheel of my car and I can surf up or down. I never found this annoying. I currently own the Sony SRF-T615 which, in my opinion,is superior mostly due to it's size.
Hey, it's a pocket radio. I think the sound is decent for its size. The Sony SRF-T615 has a speaker and in comparison it sounds like tin foil crinkling. The The sound quality, the reception, the cost, the back-lighting are the best. If you try to deduce how to program this from trial and error he's probably correct. It's about as portable as a credit card and co$tly.I've read a number of reviews and I'd like to dispel a few comments.Some folks have claimed that you can only go through the presets unidirectional. It takes AA batteries so that can account for it's depth.
Perhaps if you actually used 19 presets then it could become painful.Another person complained that it was difficult, at first, to program presets. However, the directions are clear and if followed become intuitive. Having owned the Sony I can't really consider this a "pocket" radio. If I were to purchase a radio in the future I'd probably buy a Sangean.
Also, the locking function is cool, much like an Ipod's. I really like this radio. I particularly like the timer, which turns the radio off after 90 minutes. The tuner is sensitive and the sound is great. You can switch from earphones to speaker, which is a nice feature. This is a good feature for anyone, like me, who falls asleep while listening in bed. It saves the batteries.I would recommend this radio to anyone looking for high quality at a reasonable price.
