SangeanDT-160CLP FM-Stereo/AM Pocket Radio with Protective Pouch & Belt Clip (Clear)

I have owned a few pocket portables in the past, but this one is the best. Most of the others had a built-in speaker that sounded tinny but was fine for talk, baseball games and similar programming. All I've done AM-wise is make sure that works. I bought this radio for FM duty, and couldn't be more pleased. With one exception, which is this - the bass boost is too aggressive. Probably many people like that, but the problem is that with the boost off, the bass is too lean. So I opt to listen with boost, mostly. However, stations come in so cleanly, and the radio sounds so good, I can live with the overblown bass boost. Would have been nice to have at least two levels of boost to choose.The other small radio that I own which has no speaker is the little Sony wrist-band model, notable for how well that wrist-band functions, but its FM performance is noisy with all signals, however strong. Nowhere near this league.Of course the DT-160 uses current technology DSP which makes a big difference in reception. My home has multiple reception issues due to terrain, power lines and a lot of electronic devices. Tuners have a hard time in here. This radio pulls in the locals cleanly, as it should, but many models fail to do this well. I really wasn't expecting that, so I am very pleased.I may return later and edit this review to address AM performance eventually, but the truth is that I have several other radios (a bit larger) for my AM dxing, and I don't expect this to be a strong AM contender based on other reviews elsewhere. If you are looking for a small radio for listening to music on FM radio then this one will be hard to beat - and its price is very reasonable given its excellent performance.Just remember that your headphone wires are the antenna and if you do hear any noise due to a very weak signal, reposition the wire. I bought it in white along with a pair of Sony MDRZX100 headphone in white (also from Amazon) for a nice coordinated look. Just got the radio yesterday and love it already. Small, light and functionally outstanding, so what's not to like?UPDATE - I've used this radio a lot for three-and-a-half years now, and it still looks, feels, operates and sounds like new. I'm an FM-only user... well, a rare ballgame on AM once or twice a year. But this radio is all about good stereo FM sound, whether via headphone or jacked into a garage system. In addition to good reception and sound, you get a radio that runs a long, long time on a pair of batteries. I love this model and recommend it highly.

Sangean did it again, and scored a grand slam with this little gem! I've owned many "Walkman's" growing up, and none of them could hold a candle to the Sangean DT-160 in raw performance. I always had bleed-over from stations that were right next to each other ( San Francisco bay Area ), for example 106.1 KMEL has always had a Field (dBuV/m) of around 62 in the southern parts of San Jose ( somewhat weak, but still great signal ). Now, we have two very power local stations in the San Jose area on 106.5 KEZR ( 42K Watts with Field (dBuV/m) of around 104 ) and 105.7 KVVF ( 50K watts with a Field (dBuV/m) of around 95 ). As you can see, these are extremely strong stations. On all my radios growing up in the 80's and 90's, I would get one of these adjacent stations bleeding in. Not with this radio. That is what I call selective! For reference, I no longer listen to KMEL, but this is still a great test for modern DSP radios, such as this little Sangean. Most of today's DSP radios still fail this test. Medium wave ( AM band ) is pretty good. Keep in mind, the little feritte AM antenna inside is quite small, so finding that "sweet spot" might be a challenge if you are a DXer such as myself. Selectivity on the AM band is pretty good, but not outstanding. But don't let this discourage you, as it isn't that bad. I would say the same for sensitivity, it's darn good, but not the best.The laws of physics apply here, the AM antenna is just to small. You will get powerful stations at night over 500 miles away, not doubt, just not those on the fringe of ,say 800-900 miles. OK, so lets break this down.....Are you looking for a radio that "can" pick up the weakest FM stations from 150- 200 miles away? This radio can do it.Are you looking for a radio that has outstanding selectivity of FM? This radio has it!Are you looking for a radio that is extremely sensitive on both AM & FM? This radio is!Are you tired of buying little pocket radios that have overload/images/double tuning that flood in on open FM channels in your area. This does not happen with this radio.Con's..........................................................No speaker. ( must use headphones )Some might find the tuning/set button a bit finickyNo wrist strap or belt clipHere are a few stations I've picked up over 115 miles away, just with this radio!!------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------KOND ( 107.5 ) out of Handord California, serving the Fresno market. 167 milesKHYL ( 101.1 ) out of Auburn California, serving the Sacramento market. 120 milesKFBK ( 93.1 ) out out Placerville California, serving the Sacramento market. 117 milesKHGE ( 102.7 ) out of Clovis California, serving the Fresno market. 133 milesAs you can see, it is a capable little bugger. I'm on a valley floor, and your results may vary. I see no reason why FM stations over 200 miles could not be possible, at higher locations. Happy DXing my friends....

Je n'ai pas beau coup de référence pour ce genre d'appareil, je l'utilise avec des bases Q35 en utilisant un fil connecteur.La possibilité de préprogrammer les postes qui deviennent facilement accessibles.La réception des postes est impeccable, la réputation de cette marque fait légion dans le monde entier et cet appareil vaut amplement son prix.Je n'utilise plus mes données numériques sur mon forfait cellulaire pour écouter la radio dans les transports en commun.Une grosse économie.Je n'ai pas hésiter à l'offrir à une proche comme cadeau d'anniversaire. elle est aussi très satisfaite.

The product delivered as advertised however it’s been a short time so longevity has not been tested

Un articulo muy bueno, cumple su funcion, el material muy resistente y de buena calidad.

easy ,simple to use. long battery life.

Very hard to tune, can't fine tune it
