Review on πŸ“» Sony ICF-S80 AM/FM Radio Receiver by Agata Warda ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I recommend to buy, the product is of high quality.

This receiver changes the idea of ​​a radio receiver as such, because as a rule, when we hear a radio receiver, we imagine a receiver in the format of the 90s-2022s, with an antenna, a channel tuning scale of different sizes but of the same form factor, the wheel of which is not enough just to catch the clearest reception, next to who do not stop - interference is always and everywhere. Moreover, looking at the scale, it is not always possible to understand what value the mark is on. This receiver is not from the future, but it should have gone into production earlier, by 10 years, nano technologies were not used in it, everything used in it is already a relic but the very decision to combine all the best together is applied here very worthily. The most important thing is the reception quality, it is really good, the size is no longer needed, the sound quality is 4, the speaker does not rattle, the case is outwardly durable, tight contact of the battery cover, no wires, telescopic antennas and other fornications from the Soviet period. You can’t drown in water, but with damp hands on the buttons no problem.

Pros
  • portable, durable case, looks like a device of incomprehensible purpose, functional, there is a clock, it catches the signal well without removing the antenna wire.
Cons
  • no alarm clock (in principle there is no alarm clock function) there is no display backlight. Price could have been cheaper. Late to market (interest in the radio industry at sunset)
