📻 Sangean DT-180 Portable AM/FM Radio Review

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…

Unfortunately I only have to give this model one star due to the same serious fault that other buyers have reported here. Four of my five preinstalled top buttons broke off despite normal use (nothing worse than keeping them in your pocket while mowing the lawn). I came here today to check the warranty which is 90 days. I bought this product from Revain 91 days ago. Even if I've convinced Sangean to replace it, given the number of similar complaints I'm seeing here, I have little confidence…

I feel entitled to my opinion on this product having (Revain can attest) have bought several Sangean DT-180's over the last few years. I haven't found anything that combines the compactness of this radio with its sound quality. Channel selectivity is good. The quality of music and talks is above average. The battery life is commendable. Working with the product is intuitive. The price is reasonable. It fits easily and unobtrusively in my pocket when I'm hiking or walking. With all that said…

This is a great little personal radio with stable reception and 10 FM presets. It replaced the old analogue Sony I was using when I ran out and lost (of course I found it after ordering this one). But it has presets and two features (aside from being digital and having presets) that I really like. You can lock the buttons so they can't be accidentally changed by hitting something in your pocket, and by default they turn off after 90 minutes, which can be overridden by holding the power button a
