 Good FM-AM-AUX Stereo RadioDec 30, 2011
By Krishnan
I bought this radio because
1. This is from Sangean
2. Digital Tuning with frequency display
3. Stereo Speakers
4. RDS Info Display
5. Can be used as a mobile phone/laptop speakers
6. Looks sophisticated and modern
7. Alarm
8. Black version available against the white one
The overall built quality is excellent and has a metal body. You can feel
the richness. It has an ergonomic tuning and volume knob both has a soft
rubber feel. Nice to hold. The tuning jogs up/down .1MHz steps and can feel
the click. Interesting feature is the frequency scan. You can push the
tuning knob and it lands to the next audible station! This makes the frequency
exactly to the .1MHz frequency. Then you can easily long press the memory button
and store the station into the memory! Cool.
One of the greatest features of this radio I liked is its Aux connection. ie. you can
connect your mobile phone/mp3 player and Laptop using a 3.5mm male to male connector
(need to buy separately). I bought an 8ft cord.
I ordered it when I ordered the radio.
It plays the MP3 songs from my mobile phone nicely. Another interesting thing I do is
I put Internet radio on my Android phone and play it through the Aux speakers.
This opens a huge world of Internet radio!
The biggest drawback I would like to notify the Sangean company is that the Bass tone
is hardwired into the circuitry. There is no Bass/Tone knob. At least the Sangean
company can hard wire a bass+treble audio so that it's neither bassy nor trebly :)
My Suggestions for Improvement to Sangean. (Hope they read these feedbacks)
1. Add a Bass/Tone knob.
2. Toggle switch to keep the display lights always on.
3. RDS to display below the frequency which is done nicely on Android phone FM
radio application. ie. RDS/frequency and time need to be displayed together.
Right now RDS info comes after seconds you tune the station.
4. Battery Re-charge feature.
5. Five more buttons to store the memory. ie. at least 10 FM stations are okay.
Five is very less these days.
6. The frequency scan by pushing the tuning knob is very hard. Make it soft.
To Summarize, this is a very good radio with just one drawback.
The audio is bassy. If you like bass audio, then its okay. It is good
for speech. It makes the speech soft. For music, it requires treble response, so that
the instruments will be more clear. The stereo capability is not
easily noticeable on speakers.
Compared to other FM radios in this price range, this is the best available in the
market today.
I think the black version is new. Black is beautiful and looks sophisticated. My laptop
and mobile phone are all black. White looks odd, and everyone notice it.
Black is cool and you can take it anywhere.
I give only 4 stars because of the bassy audio quality and make Sangean to
add a bass/treble knob. Once this is done, I am sure, this radio will be
the best in the world in this price range.
Hope you find this review useful.
Update:
The memory is not stored permanently. When the unit is switched off today and then switched on tomorrow, all the memories goes EMPTY.
This is very disappointing. Not sure, whether this is a defect. If you know about this, do let me know.

Awesome Portable Speaker SetDec 18, 2011
By John Madison
"John Mark Isaac Madison"
I didn't get this for the radio or clock.
Just the aux mode that takes a normal audio cable.
I listen to music on my phone during my showers by plugging
in an audio cable to this thing. Best set of portable speakers
I've bought. Very powerful.
Also, the fact that it has a slot for C-cell batteries is pretty bad-ass.
As I can use this as a portable boom box if I feel so inclined.

Great reception and sound for small radioJan 05, 2012
By ANDREW
Looked all over for a quality clock radio and finally saw this in Amazon. Priced right. Great reception, no more fuzzy sounds from those cheap radios. Easy to use and looks good. Only complaint is wish when plugged in with the transformer that the time LCD stays on so I can see the time.

bought twoJan 12, 2012
By alex in salem
I was looking for a really good table radio for my wife who listens to NPR whenever she is in the house. I wanted a radio that had excellent channel reception and good sound quality. Even though the Sangean is a fairly small radio it met the mark on both important counts. So she loves the little thing. Fast forward a year later and she mentions in passing how nice it would be to have a second radio just like it so she could take it with her when she travels- something nice to listen to in the motel room other than the cheesey clock radios they usually have. So I buy her another one, this time in black for christmas and she is so happy! Now she keeps one in the bathroom and one on the counter in the kitchen- she used to have to unplug it and move it back and forth. This radio has no bells and whistles, not even a CD player- just a nice little radio with good sound.
