Customer Review: one solid hunk o' cheese
Summary: 4 Stars
My radio needs are mostly limited to travel, where I'm away from podcasts, Sirius, TV, and regular radio, and I like to put on the news and maybe fall asleep to whatever. Occasionally I like to listen to a ball game or something. Maybe take it to the beach or camping. So casual needs mostly, but enough to want something reliable with appropriate features. Portability is necessary, but I don't need to use it as a full-time walkman.
Seeing as the iPod has no radio, and even others don't have AM, I've bought a couple of portable radios over the years trying to find something that fit my needs. Some little COBY pos, a couple of small, but not too powerful, SONY models, and even an analog little thingy. Anyway, after the last one I "saved up a little" and bought this one. I was on the verge of getting one of the smaller SANGEAN radios, but this one seemed to have all the right features, and I was willing to live with the bigger size.
PROS
1. digital tuner, powerful AM/FM reception. TV reception, too
2. 10 presets per channel/30 total
3. built-in FM antenna (the smaller Sangean require you to plug-in a wire or the headphones)
4. "seek" feature for scanning frequencies
5. 90-minute auto shut-ff (optional), clock, alarm.
6. Solid build, pretty good sound from the speaker. Certainly good enough for a game or beach tunes. Stands on it's own. Battery cover slides and pivots, for a tight closed position and remains attached so it won't get lost.
7. Normal 1/8 inch Headphone-jack. Could also be used for output to separate speakers. When going thru headphones FM can be switched between stereo and mono for better sound/reception.
8. Simple interface, easy to operate, even in the dark.
MEHS
1. nice leatherette case. will probably lose it, radio doesn't need it really.
2. included, attached, retractable headphones. I guess this is better than HAVING to bring your own, but they might stop working someday, or the spring mechanism might get jammed... not that there's been any indication of this as of yet. Really, they don't sound bad and will be good in a pinch, On the other hand, they probably add (a little extra) bulk and as far as ear-buds go, aren't that confortable.
3. back light - the "light" button turns on a green bulb on the far left that barely lights the whole display. better than nuthin' tho
4. No AC adapter. Not sure I need it, would be nice, probably lose it. The batteries last a loooong time and AA's are cheaper and better than AAA's.
CONS
1. size. A little bigger than a Zune, reminds me of my original plam-pilot. Very portable - definitely fits in your hand, and you could use it walking around or jogging in a pinch, but it might be little awkward at the gym. An acceptable price to pay for a good speaker, AA batteries and whatever else makes this go.
2. price. Kinda steep, but I don't think I'll be buying another radio for a while.
So far, so good. This one has it all
**UPDATE**
I LOVE the attached headphones. They are actually super-convenient, and let me leave my good headphones attached to my iPod. The quick-rewind button is pretty cool.
