Digital camera reviews of Sangean America DT-210 DT-210 AM/FM Digital Tuning Pocket Radio
Digital camera Review: Buy a Sony
Summary: 2 Stars
The power button broke 4 months after I bought it-- a month after the warranty expired. So, obviously I'm pretty p.o.'d right now. I've been using Sony sports tv/radio products for many, many years and I'm going to go back to that quality manufacturing. I only tried Sangean (after my Sony SRF-M80V finally died) because I saw the reviews that said it pulled in AM stations really well. In actuality, it didn't perform any better at reception than my Sony.Digital camera Review: Carey
Summary: 4 Stars
Being that the radio is digital the stations come in very clear and the stereo is very good for such a little thing.Digital camera Review: Compact, light, great reception and features
Summary: 5 Stars
Best features: extremely lightweight, excellent reception. With my old generic AM radio I'd have to practically lean out the window of my 5th floor office to hear anything at all, but the Sangean picks up a better signal from practically anywhere in my office. The ease and convenience of the digital tuner is definitely worth the extra money over the analog model. The built-in speaker is an excellent feature for a radio of this size.Digital camera Review: Comparison with the Sony Walkman.
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought the Sangean to replace my Sony Walkman radio, which after ten years of brutal treatment, finally became unusable. The little Sony had been dropped, bashed up against hard objects, thrown into a bag and forgotten for months, left in the sun in the car -- you name it. The belt clip broke a few years ago, but it kept ticking. Finally, I think there must be a crack in the circuit board, because it randomly just cuts off. (It still works if I remain stationary). It was time for a new one.
I came onto the web site to buy another Sony, but saw that the Sangean was available for slightly more money. Since I remembered the Sangean commercials from the Art Bell show years ago, I decided to give that brand a whirl. After two weeks of use, it seems to be doing well. No regrets, but I do note two possible negatives:
1. It does not appear to be as structurally strong as the Sony. It has a big plastic face that seems more vulnerable to "smashes" (which haven't occurred yet). On the other hand, the belt clip on the Sangean seems stronger than the Sony.
2. The controls seem to be a little more complicated than the Sony -- so for the technically challenged, the Sony might be a better buy.
I note no real difference in the reception. It gets weak to nonexistent in the gym just like the Sony did. All in all, no regrets. We'll see how well the Sangean holds up.
Digital camera Review: Darn Good Portable Radio
Summary: 4 Stars
I have been very impressed with this radio. I especially like the lock button because you are always changing either the sound or station accidently with a pocket radio.
The only draw back are the earplugs. They warned me but I really found them unusable. I purchased another set to use.
But, the radio itself is outstanding!
