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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I definitely recommend buying, I didn't notice any disadvantages.

It's a bathroom radio and constantly dragging it from room to room. What headphones? I can't imagine using headphones with this device at all. What is the input for the network adapter? To wave the spray in the bathroom and say goodbye to the device? At first, I also tensed up about the batteries. And then I thought, there is a logic of its own, if we consider the purchase for a sufficiently long period. If you use the radio very rarely, an hour or two a day, one set of batteries will last for a couple of months. If often, you will invest once in an acc with a charger. And they will also allow batteries to be replaced somewhere. When they work out their own, you replace them and do not know any problems at all. Yes, the format is not the most common, but getting it is not a problem. Now all electronics networkers work under the order. It performs its main task - picking up a signal and playing the radio perfectly. I don't even take the antenna out of the compartment. Nothing hisses, the sound is perfect. Especially when compared with the option of listening to the radio through a mobile phone. Very convenient functions of delayed shutdown and timer. You turn on the first one when you fall asleep, the second one is just a godsend for the kitchen, because you constantly need to set the time for 20-30 minutes when cooking. Yes, it's expensive, but as you rightly noted, after the first use, you no longer remember about money. If someone is rich enough to buy cheap stuff, ebay is full of Chinese no-name options, you should go there.

Pros
  • Nice design, catches without complaints, clear sound.
Cons
  • Just the price. Since with a set of batteries of this standard and a charger for them, the price, in fact, will double. But if you listen to the radio constantly, it will still be more profitable than burning batteries.
