Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sangean America DT-210 DT-210 AM/FM Digital Tuning Pocket Radio
Customer Review: great radio
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great radio. I use this radio all day long listening to the FM stations in the 88.whatever to the low 90(s) (smaller power, non-ClearChannel noise:) I occasionally tune into some AM stations, but not much. I work in Carmel Valley and p/u the power house KGO am station out of San Francisco quite well to crystal clear. I use only headphones. As an electrician, I place the radio in my tool bags, throw the little lock switch (keeps the settings locked - volume still free) and listen all day long. I don't use the stock headphones - not sure how they're supposed to work. The sound quality is good for a little (2)AAA radio - does not sound like mice, sounds better than ipod. You would think that large companies wouldn't give a damn about little am/fm radios anymore - not the case. This is a well thought out little unit. I'll probably buy one or two more for back up. me=Gus in Salinas, C.ACustomer Review: Worthless piece of junk
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased the Sangean DT-210v based on the favorable reviews on Amazon.com. What I got was a worthless piece of junk. First, the earpieces are the size of megaphones. Unless your ears are the size of caves, the fit is so ergonomically uncomfortable there is no way you can wear them for any extended period of listening. I had to use my iPod earbuds, instead. The AM band is totally worthless. In the AM band, this radio can only pickup some local stations in my area (Sacramento) At best, the reception of these local stations is weak and statically distorted. My primary reason to buy this pocket radio is for listening to AM talk radio and sports. The radio does a better job on the FM and TV bands. Reception of local stations on these bands is adequate. Well, what can I expect from a $43 radio, right? I'm still shopping for a good pocket radio with strong AM reception. Any recommendations?Customer Review: Good small pocket sized AM/FM Radio with speaker
Summary: 5 Stars
Good small pocket sized AM/FM Radio with speaker.
I used to have a not so small bulky analog dialed radio to listen to news radio and carry around the house.
The Sangean DT-210 is small, no bigger than an IPhone, and has a suprisingly good solid mono speaker, great if all you want is to listen to news or talk radio. I can easily carry it from room to room around the house, and the controls are precise for fine tuning the volume so I don't make it too loud in the morning (as I wake up at 5am). It can get loud for a small speaker too, without any distortion. The digital tuner is perfect too. Note that if you want to listen to FM then you need to plug in a wired antenae or the earphones, because there is no room in the unit for an antenae. Also in order to change preset stations you have to first press the recall button then the tuning button up or down.
Customer Review: Exceeded My Expectations
Summary: 4 Stars
Periodically, I must sit 4+ hours for a necessary appointment located in a multi-story structure. Because I enjoy listening to AM radio, I'd been taking the only digital tuning portable that I had, an AIWA. With that unit, I needed to sit in a particular area in order to marginally receive one of two stations to which I listen. With the Sangean DT-210V and sitting in the same area as well as farther away, I'm able to receive multiple AM stations in addition to all of the VHS stations in my area. While there is some periodic static associated with the AM listening, it is not overly intrusive. It is certainly a huge improvement over what I was tolerating previously which included `resorting' to FM when no AM station could be received. For reception capabilities, I gave five stars, but deducted one for the steps needed to utilize the presets, a minor nuisance.Customer Review: Great little package
Summary: 5 Stars
In 1958, my father bought me a Sony 6 transistor am pocket radio - the benchmark of all that followed. It was a beauty, and I wish I still had it today. I've purchased many radios since. Not since the sony am pocket radio I received almost 50 years ago, have I been so delighted with a radio product. It provides great reception in both am and fm modes, excellent quality through the ear buds, a bass boost feature that really works in the earbud mode, an excellent built in speaker, fantastic user friendly digital functions, including scan, presets, etc.,- and all this in a sleek and slender package that is 1/2 again as small as the original sony. If I have one complaint, it's that the analog volume control wheel is a little hard to manipulate. Otherwise, it is a fantastic little gizmo, and at $50., I don't think there's a comparable pocket radio on the market.
