Review on 🚿 Enjoy Music in the Shower with the Sony ICF-S80 Splash Proof Shower Radio by Justin Hill

Revainrating 4 out of 5

WARNING: great radio but you must read the special insert for US use

UPDATED: This is a great shower radio, a bit overpriced but I think it's the best on the market. Я снял одну звезду из-за некоторой путаницы, связанной с евроцентричным маркетингом Sony (поясняется ниже) — это очень странно для меня, учитывая, что я готов поспорить, что США — более крупный рынок для этого продукта, чем вся еврозона (возможно, Я you are wrong). The fact is that the radio's "standard" tuning is tuned to Eurozone radio frequencies, making it a "brick" incapable of tuning to US AM or FM frequencies; Considering it's just a shower radio you'd expect it to be easy to take out of the box, put in a few batteries and use. But no! There is an instruction leaflet on a small sheet that explains how to reset the radio for use in the US. Admittedly I didn't notice this for 2-3 days but the very helpful seller of this product emailed me instructions. Yes, criticize me all you want, I haven't read the instructions - but this is scream radio. :) Once I got rid of that it was great - I had an old version of the same radio and it's a good upgrade - a more powerful antenna resulted in better reception etc.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No instructions
