Customer Review: Best Shower/Anywhere Radio
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased the Sangean H201 AM/FM Digital Shower Radio on July 29, 2009. I'm writing this review today, April 8, 2011, because this is the FIRST time I had to change the batteries in the radio. This thing is amazing. My wife and I have used it every day since we purchased it and it has held up perfectly. The writing on the power and volume buttons are starting to wear which is no big deal. We also take this to tail gates, on our friends boat, out by the barbecue, and pretty much anywhere you just want some music. My only complaint about the unit is that it does not have a built in antenna. It does well without stringing out the antenna but if you listen to a station that is not close by you'll end up taking a push pin and tacking up the antenna to get the desired reception. Overall I would recommend this radio to anyone. It is definitely worth the extra money!Customer Review: Can't find anything wrong with it

I love this radio. I have had it for 7 or 8 months now, and I still love it as much as I did on the first day. It looks kind of lame, like it's from the 70's or 80's, but that's the only thing that's less than perfect. It gets great reception, it's as durable as a rock (it will float and operate when put in water), the handle makes it easy to hang almost anywhere, and the volume is loud enough for any bathroom (unless you have a ridiculously large bathroom). I can hear the music all the way in my bedroom, which is down and across the hallway. 4 different people shower in this bathroom every day, and we all use the radio. The battery display still shows full strength after all this time, and I have yet to replace the batteries. As I try to think of a negative comment (just to be fair) I can't. I highly reccommend this product to absolutely anyone that showers.Customer Review: A very good shower radio

This Sangean shower radio is the best shower radio I've heard. The sound/ everything is much better than a Sony shower radio (ICF-S79V) I had that lasted about five years before crapping out.
I talked to the US distributor at Sangean; apparently, they make the tuner chips used by all sorts of different companies. The LCD in this unit appears to be the exact same one used by Tivoli Audio in its iSongbook, which is a good thing.
While this radio is mono and doesn't sound as good as Tivoli Audio units, its very good for a shower radio. The only (marginally negligible) think I'd complain about is the time and radio station aren't displayed at the same time when its on, even though there are two numerical LCD lines in the display. Also, there's no 1/8" aux-input, but I guess my shower ain't exactly where I'd take my iPod anyways.
Customer Review: So far, so good...

I bought the product a couple of weeks back and have been using it daily. The sound and big digital display are each very clear, and it has nice features like a backlight, auto on/off, etc. The size isn't as big as some people made it seem, by their "I was so surprised by the size" reviews. If you read the dimensions, you shouldn't be surprised at all. It also seems like you could go scuba diving with it and it would still stay watertight - that aspect of the radio impressed me the most. The only thing I found lacking is that since I love to have music blaring, the volume tops out lower than I'd hoped. That said, it is, after all, a shower radio so I suppose it's unrealistic to expect to blow the shower door out with the sound. In any case, this is a SOLID purchase, and after all of my research, this seems to be the best out there of its kind.Customer Review: Excellent shower radio!
Summary: 5 Stars
This Sangean H201 radio is much better than the Sony "Tap Tunes" shower radio we replaced with it. First, this Sangean has a good, clear midrange; this is especially important for voice intelligibility in a shower (a noisy environment). Second, the Sangean uses two "D" cells, so it will run a long time before batteries need to be replaced, and its use of an even number of batteries (unlike the Sony that uses three "C" cells) means that it's better for using rechargeable batteries--they often have to be charged in pairs. Third, the Sangean's ergonomics are quite good; it has a low center of gravity and a large enough base so that it doesn't tip over easily; it has clearly marked buttons rather than a bunch of submenus on an LCD screen--this is especially important in a shower where you probably cannot wear eyeglasses to discern small details.
