I didn't like it, I don't recommend buying.

All the boards are covered in water oxide, but the affected receiver still sings. I will dry and try to collect. All joints inside are smeared with some kind of transparent sealant, it is brittle and crumbles. I will re-coat with household / plumbing sealant. Addition: Collected, re-glued with sealant, the receiver works.

Pros
  • Catches normally, with good selectivity. Comfortable, intuitive.
Cons
  • The sound is weak, if water gets on the speaker grill, it almost stops. But it is understandable and forgivable, you have to pay something for water resistance. After two months of use, the display fogged up. I opened it, inside it is water.)) It looks like water has entered through a poorly glued display glass.

I didn't expect the quality to be so high.

After 7 months of operation I put 5 balls! Balanced contraption with a good set of features. Complete satisfaction! Its function - to listen to the radio performs 100%. Minor flaws: no VHF, HF does not show video and does not read flash drives! :-) :-) :-) And I forgot that I can't go online! :-):-):-) Pros below: The quality of the case (pastic) is just super! It does not scratch like a painted Chinese g. but. Just right for the kitchen! Dirty, cleaned, like new! While listening, it shows the

Valuable purchase, nothing but pluses!

Great radio! Water resistant, easy to use buttons and volume control. I didn’t regret the spent for a second (although the price is relatively biting, but it’s worth it), in the bathroom, in the country, I constantly listen to my favorite channels Got pros: Excellent design, compact, push-button, remembers 5 channels, shows the clock. Has some cons battery standard is not super(((expensive, and not very common

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

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.

I recommend to buy, the product is of high quality.

This receiver changes the idea of ​​a radio receiver as such, because as a rule, when we hear a radio receiver, we imagine a receiver in the format of the 90s-2022s, with an antenna, a channel tuning scale of different sizes but of the same form factor, the wheel of which is not enough just to catch the clearest reception, next to who do not stop - interference is always and everywhere. Moreover, looking at the scale, it is not always possible to understand what value the mark is on. This…

Pros
  • portable, durable case, looks like a device of incomprehensible purpose, functional, there is a clock, it catches the signal well without removing the antenna wire.
Cons
  • no alarm clock (in principle there is no alarm clock function) there is no display backlight. Price could have been cheaper. Late to market (interest in the radio industry at sunset)

I was surprised by the quality for this price.

I have been using it for several years in the country, in the sun, nothing will peel off and the buttons will not crack. With the antenna out, it catches distant stations well. The sound is well legible, loud, perfectly audible over all 6 acres. The main thing: there is no need to shove expensive batteries / batteries of the native pharmaceutical factor into it, put AA size batteries - they are securely held by the same contact springs even when dropped. I use black Fujitsu 2450mAh, enough for…

Pros
  • Digital tuner with memory, good sensitivity, high volume, convenience, moisture protection, white color does not heat up in the sun.
Cons
  • No

Good product, good quality, not bad.

I found only 2 models of bathroom radios on the market, these are Sony ICF-S80 and Sangean H-201 (it costs 2 times more). I settled on Sony. What I didn’t like. Batteries of the “C or R14” format, so as not to buy batteries every time, and “C” batteries and a good charger for them are expensive, having a good La Crosse smart charger for “AA” batteries, and batteries of size " AA" "Eneloop" immediately ordered adapters for "AA" to "C" batteries on the Internet and solved the battery problem. The

Pros
  • Quality of plastic, assembly and water resistance
Cons
  • "C" size batteries
