Customer Review: A Great Little Radio... Very Cool "Correctional Facility" Version
Summary: 5 Stars
As I was preparing to serve on jury duty I quickly realized I would need a radio to kill time and listen to daytime AM talk radio that I normally miss when I am at work.
So I started looking for a small pocket AM/FM "transistor-style" radio with a digital tuner to replace the old Radio Shack model that I purchased about 15 years ago which had since stopped working. My search led me to Amazon which, much to my surprise, had quite a few different brands and models from which to choose.
I discovered the Sanjean brand, which I had never heard of before, and based on the many positive reviews, checked out their website.
The Sanjean site also provided a nice, downloadable PDF comparing the features and benefits of each of their portable radios. With a lineup of 8-10 different pocket-sized AM/FM radios, I discovered that they also had a line of 3 or 4 clear, see-through models that are reportedly approved for use in prisons, since contraband can't be hidden within the clear radio cases. It suddenly dawned on me that what could be cooler than using a prison-approved radio while serving on jury duty? ...so I immediately ordered the little Sanjean DT-120CL.
When I received it I plugged in an AAA battery and the included earphones, and tuned and locked-in my 5 favorite AM stations and 10 FM stations.
When I turned it on I was impressed with the reception for both AM as well as FM stations, and the FM stereo worked fine. AM reception is a little tricky inside buildings or public buses, and requires a bit of manipulation to get a clear signal. Once out on the street, however, AM comes in loud and clear (at least in Manhattan). FM reception is generally very good, even inside office buildings.
The controls are intuitive and simple to use, but because of the clear case, are a little difficult to identify. But the coolness factor of the clear prison-ready case outweighs any negative navigational issues.
The "deep base" sound enhancer works great, and a convenient "lock" mechanism on the back of the case is very good when you listen to the radio and keep it in a shirt pocket and want to avoid sudden volume changes or station switches. The included white earphones -- while larger and a bit clunkier than standard-issue Apple iPod phones -- are comfortable to wear and seem to stay in my ears when I make my 25 block walk home each night.
This is a fine little radio, and the clear correctional facility case makes it worth the purchase... I definitely recommend the Sanjean DT-120CL. It's also a great conversation piece for anyone who sees it.
