Customer Review: Best $60 I have ever spent
Summary: 5 Stars
Let me start off by saying that I am the type of person who always takes reviews with a grain of salt, and I rarely comment unless I have a very strong opinion one way or another. I did read lots and lots of reviews about radios because I found that being in SW Virginia I don't have options of places to see one of these in person so I relied very heavily on what people told me about their experience.
I got this radio about 2 months ago and it hasn't been off much since! I have taken it to work with me, had it on the back patio, used it as a bedside radio, and even entertained a small party with it (it is very loud and clean for a radio of its size)
Thoughts:
-No handle on top makes transport tough but this radio is super light so it is easy to get over (I think the AC adapter on the power cord weighs more than the radio itself- but don't be fooled this little guy is sturdy and very well built. The buttons and knobs are all very crisp and exceptional)
-Digital tuning, in my opinion, is a very dangerous thing. No minor adjustments means you either get the station or you are out of luck, but in my experience with this radio so far, the tuner is dead on.
-It is sturdy-I work in a greenhouse and it got knocked off of a table onto a concrete floor from about three feet up and one little scratch later, it is still playing like a champ.
-The AM reception is out of this world. I googled "clear channel stations" and went all the way through the dial one night and correctly identified all of them. I live in the the mountains of SW VA, and reception of any kind is difficult but this radio does the trick. I go to bed with 650 AM out of Nashville playing and it sounds like Eddie Stubbs is in my bedroom the reception is so good. Most people think I am a bit old fashioned for it, but I love listening to 740 out of Toronto for big band music and then switching to the Grand Ole Opry out of Nashville. It is fun and sounds great!
-The AUX input is great for plugging an ipod in. Don't be fooled into buying one of those ipod docking radios because the sound quality and radio reception on those in the same price range don't compare to this with a $10 adapter cord from Walmart.
-FM is great as well. I listen to a station that is about 50 miles away as the crow flies that usually only comes in well in a good car radio but this radio get it fine.
-Haven't tried the battery power option on this yet but with spring camping and fishing trips coming up, I will probably give it a whirl.
If I had more money, I would buy one for work, and one for home. Everyone laughs at me because I carry it around with me now.
The thing that will amaze you is how talk and music sounds on this radio. You don't know what you are missing until you hear it on a radio of this quality- and for half the price of some of the radios in its class. My buddies went from mocking me for spending $60 on a radio in the day of smartphones and high speed internet to asking me to bring it upstairs from my bedroom when they stop by after work so that we could listen to it.
