Review on πŸ“» Sangean DT-210: FM-Stereo/AM Pocket Radio with PLL Synthesized Tuning for Exceptional Reception by David Elam

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Very good except. in radios

. This radio has one main problem - the fragility of the headphone jack and volume control. Eventually one of the pins inside will become intermittent, and you'll have to wiggle the connector and/or slide it to one side or the other for both channels to work. A pain just wishing you had it in your pocket while walking your dog. I bought three of these including the first which also had a TV group option and they all had a headphone jack failure after a year, two or three and the last one now has other button issues from time to time. However, I use it every day and like all the other features, I only wish the speaker was a little louder. Perhaps its best feature is the locking slide switch on the back that prevents other buttons from doing anything, including the power button so it stays in the station while you carry it in your pocket or backpack, and the volume control (manual steering wheel) still works. . It doesn't forget its programming while you change batteries, unlike the Horologe, which is a piece of junk. I'm still looking for something better, but maybe I'll buy it again.

Pros
  • Constant test results
Cons
  • You could choose a newer model
