Sangean WR-15 Portable Analog Wood - radios (3.5 mm, Portable, Analog, Analog, AM, FM, MW, DC)

First of all the bad reviews that say AM reception or reception in general is not good and you couldn't get the station you wanted is not fair because people don't understand you can't have ANY radio in one place in one position if you want to get weaker stations better. ALL antennas are directional and to get stations for AM the radio has to change position as the antenna is inside, and for FM the wire has to change position. If you say you can't get a certain station turn the radio in a different direction! Move the FM antenna! Some bad reviews are not valid. This model is just like the home table radios of old, great sounding and reception and with a DSP tuner much better selectivity. Location is key for best sound. Corners and book shelves are better than in the open or a flat wall for a nice warm sound. And if you are far from lots of stations you have provision for external antennas on AM and FM and don't forget they are directional. Update to this review Mar. 4/20 To eliminate the noise interference on AM that sometimes depending on location, makes it near impossible to get weaker stations. This can be done on the back of the radio or for the more technically inclined from inside the cabinet. On the back locate the two AM antenna screws(GND and ANT) and loosen the screws a bit so they are sticking out a bit. With a jumper wire with alligator clips connect the wire from the GND screw to the GND(threaded) outside of the FM external antenna terminal. A larger alligator clip will go over it and hold. Now there will be a significant noise reduction. Next, take another jumper about 15 to 20 inches long and connect it to the AM ANT screw and just stretch it out straight. That's all and the noise will be reduced more and AM sensitivity will come way up. The wire FM antenna still can go over the FM F connector. The AM GND to FM ant. jack(GND side) can be done permanently from inside the cabinet. This will dramatically increase AM sensitivity by lessening noise 80% As for any inaccuracy of the dial pointer here's a fix. Pull off the tuning knob and you will see 2 screws holding the pointer. Remove one of them. Loosen the other and reposition the pointer. Tighten the one screw and leave the other out. This will fine tune the pointer for accuracy. Good luck!

Gave this as a gift for someone who loves to listen classical music on the radio and they love it. Looks great and the simple design makes it easy to use. A lot of thought has clearly gone into its design as it tries to auto-tune to the station it thinks you're trying to find and the sound quality is phenomenal. There are options for additional external antenna or external speakers but those are not necessary (i do not have them so i can't comment on their quality). At it's most basic form you can just plug and play with no complicated setup. While this is a great product, this is definitely a luxury product. You have to accept that you are paying a premium for what is basically just a very nice radio. For 1/3 of the money you could get a generic clock radio and have a slightly worse but similar listening experience. That being said, there is value in the extra dollars here in both the construction (very sturdy) and design (simple controls are a boon for those with poor eyesight/dexterity/etc..) that can make this worth the premium price. If you are looking for a radio that doubles as a room piece, you wouldn't go wrong with this as long as you're willing to pay for that privilege.

Além de bonito, o acabamento do rádio é impecável. O recurso que atenua o ruído entre as estações funciona muito bem, mas também elimina a recepção de emissoras distantes ou com sinal muito fraco. O som dele é bem equilibrado e bem melhor que o WR-16SE que prioriza os sons graves. Adicionei um receptor Bluetooth P2 na entrada auxiliar para o uso do celular, e com isso possibilita ouvir rádios do mundo inteiro e minhas playlists.

Si tienes nostalgia de la apariencia de un receptor analógico de radio AM y FM, compacto y sencillo, este de Sangean es ideal. Para no estar completamente desactualizado, el fabricante añade la posibilidad de conectar un auxiliar (bonita opción para usar un adaptador Bluetooth). Complementan el paquete interesantes alternativas para antena AM o FM, de modo que la recepción sea lo más fiel posible. He tenido otro de marca reconocida -que deja mucho qué desear- y me quedo con este.

The Sangean WR-15 is a beautiful looking and great sounding radio. I couldn't believe such a big sound could come out of such a small radio. The sound of this radio has got to be heard to be believed. If you find the bass to be too boomy, especially on AM, just stuff a sock in the port on the back of the radio. The sensitivity/selectivity of this radio is just amazing. If you're looking for a quality table radio that sounds absolutely amazing, has a beautiful retro look and is inexpensive, then this radio is it. I guarantee you won't regret purchasing this radio!
