Digital camera reviews of Eton Sound 100 AM/FM Radio, Silver
Digital camera Review: LOVE THIS RADIO!
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent sound, reception is great (I am only about 50 miles from the stations I have tested, however). The remote is small but it WORKS.Digital camera Review: Over all I'm pleased
Summary: 3 Stars
I purchased this item on a whim as I needed a radio in the bathroom. The sound quality is great if you love a lot of bass. Sometimes with the exhaust fan on (or other noise in the room)the bass is all you hear so keep that in mind.
The good:
In a quiet room the sound quality is great.
The remote is simple & functions very well.
Setting the alarm & time is an easy process.
The bad:
Turn off the sun! The stupid digital display is so bright it makes roosters crow.
The bass is too pronounced for my taste & there is no way to reduce the effect.
Overall -- for $30 delivered I'm pleased but not ecstatic.
Digital camera Review: Performs as well as Tivoli and Sangean with great Retro/Modern Design
Summary: 4 Stars
Like the previous poster I am a radio nut/collector.
I have owned several Tivoli's, as well as a Sangean WR-1 and WR-2. They all have their strong points and weaknesses, but this is a strong competitor to any of them, and the price is right when Amazon runs a sale.
I use the iPod dock version daily in the office and this version in the kitchen. I like its tone better than the Tivoli or Sangean (a little less bassy and more clear).
Am and Fm rececption are fine in the locations I use it. It sounds good, and is well made. Looks better in a modernish space than the Tivolis or Sangeans.
Digital camera Review: Seriously flawed as a clock radio, but GREAT as a laptop speaker!
Summary: 4 Stars
Had I purchased this as an alarm clock/radio at $150, I wouild've been completely dissatisfied. However, I got it during a gold deal for $40. As noted by so many reviewers, the bright lcd display lights up a dark room so much that it's difficult to sleep.
However, I purchased this for it's radio/aux functions, for which it is very satisfactory. Radio reception here in Manhattan is excellent on both am/fm. But using this as a speaker for an mp3 player is its real strong point. The sound is EXCELLENT once I've adjusted the EQ setting on the player. Sadly, the Eton lacks any kind of bass/treble adjustment,a serious omission for a radio that is still selling for $150.
But once adjusted on your player, the sound is very rich, full bodied, and a pleasure to listen to for hours. I love laying in bed with the remote and listening to all my music on shuffle.
As for the bright lcd, I also cover it up at night...a little odd having to do this, but I really bought this only as an mp3 speaker, and for that, it's a great deal if you can find it for <$50.
Digital camera Review: The worst sound combined with a decent design.
Summary: 2 Stars
The design is decent although the display is barely readable. Reception is satisfying. The deal breaker is the dull sound which cannot be adjusted. How dumb to save a couple of bugs, Eton! No comparison to Model One from Kloss! The $10 radio-clock of my father sounds better than this unit.
