Review on 📻 Sangean DT-180 Portable AM/FM Radio by Jason Cho

I use this radio for jogging, walking and sometimes I take it to the gym. I've been using it for about 2 months and use it 1 to 3 hours a day. I just changed the batteries for the second time. Requires 2 AAA batteries that are easy to replace. I am very satisfied with the battery life and FM reception. I only listen to 3 stations (2 FM and 1 AM) so I didn't have to use the most popular presets which seemed to be an issue for others. One of the FM stations is often marginal on other radios (because of the distance to the station), but I have no reception problems at all with this radio. The signal is clear and the sound is good. That's not the case with my local AM station, which I occasionally tune in to for the weather and local news. The AM signal has significant interference indoors and I get poor reception unless I have the radio in my hand (rather than in my pocket or on a table). Outdoor AM reception is ok. This seems to apply to all local AM stations. So it's inconvenient to listen to AM when I'm at home, at the gym, at the mall, etc. This is a bit of an issue for me as I usually listen to FM and only turn on AM for local weather or when someone mentions something is happening locally (shooting, robbery etc - the local AM station is mostly right above the local events), usually only for a few minutes. So I can hold it briefly in my hand. But it makes me give the radio a star. If that slight lack of AM reception isn't an issue then this is a great little radio - possibly the best I've ever had - and I highly recommend it. Update: I've had this radio for over a year now and I've probably got an average of 3 hours. /day, including about an hour of running/walking. Still a very good radio. No tuning issues, FM stereo etc. Good price.
