Customer Review: Battery Life Is Not Too Bad.
Summary: 4 Stars
I was concerned whether this product was worth buying or if I should have spent the extra money on the Sangean DT-180 AM / FM Pocket Receiver with a longer battery life. The battery life was my number one concern that I was looking at when deciding my purchase. I am glad that I have bought this portable radio because it is a great deal for the price.
10 hours on a device is too short for my normal usage. But this device amazes me. I've had this radio for about a month now and it is still going with the original 2 AA batteries. I listen to the radio in the mornings and in the evenings. NOTE: Be aware that this device will not work on rechargeable batteries. It needs batteries that are 1.5V and rechargeable batteries have voltages that are lower than 1.5V. Initially I had placed 2 AA rechargeable batteries with 1.2V each in this device and it was not working correctly. I thought I had a dud device, but when I changed the rechargeable batteries with the 1.5V normal alkaline batteries it was working just fine.
I needed a portable radio so that I can listen to my news talk radio when I'm nowhere near my computer or in my car. This device serves its purpose. Weighing at just 0.3 Lbs it is highly portable that fits in my shirt pocket. The LCD screen is a good size at W 7/8" x H 7/8" clearly displaying presets, channel, and volume level. With a click of a button located on the right it will display the clock, which is a handy feature. Once any button is pressed, the back light comes on for approximately 7 secs. Something handy if you're using this device in the dark or in a place with dim lighting.
The sound quality is not too bad. I'm using a cheap $2 headphone and the quality is good. The volume allows you to adjust the loudness level from 1 to 16. I never need to adjust the volume louder than 1 because with headphones it is loud enough. Sometimes I get headaches if I use headphones for a long period of time. So what I do is adjust the volume to around 12 and place this device on the table for easy listening radio on my desktop.
My gripe is that the buttons are too similar and it is easy to press the wrong button. There are numerous times when I wanted to change the band, but end up pressing the save preset button instead. It's a little annoying.
I think this radio is worth the price. It's a handy portable device that serves its purpose. I have no regrets buying this product.
