Review on πŸ“» Sangean DT-160: Discover the Efficient AM/FM Stereo Pocket Radio with Extended 100-Hour Battery Life! by Mike Ogunlana

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good radio but not for critical listening

The SANGEAN DT-160 is a good deal for its price. Pros: * Bright and clear backlit display. * Easy to use. * There is a clock and an off timer. .*It has a lock switch to prevent unintentional activation of functions.*It has exceptionally good selective and medium FM sensitivity.*It has acceptable selective and AM sensitivity given its size.*It has multiple tuning options , including 10 FM and 5 AM memory presets, as well as manual setup and scan setup. * Has multiple bandwidth settings for FM and AM, which can help with weak and congested signals. Cons: * The radio has a glossy finish that shows fingerprints and smudges. * With today's advances in miniaturization, the radio should be at least half the size. * A clearly audible annoying howl is heard at very low volume settings. If I had known about this sonic artifact beforehand I would not have bought the DT-160, but for many users it may not be bothersome. be and remain strong enough to be reliably reproduced with stereo sound. My conclusion is that the SANGEAN DT-160 is fine for general use but fails the critical listening test.
