Sangean DT-120 Clear Pocket Am/FM Digital Radios (Clear), One Size

This is an excellent radio, which is tiny but has great reception and high quality sound with 10 memory presets for FM and 5 for AM. The FM sound is outstanding! Controls are easy and intuitive. Rocker for volume. This apparently a second version since there are two batteries. Unlike the virtually identifical DT 120 white and DT 180 black, there is no clock or sleeper function, but I like not having to set a clock and keeping it simple. The volume is a rocker which I find better than wheel because of clear tactile response. The Deep Bass response and stereo do enhance the sound based on my experience.

This radio is clear, which makes it a stand out in my radio collection. Its function as radio also makes it to the top. Easy to use, super reception for both AM and FM, and FM stereo. It is nice to see the inside of a radio. This is a basic (and dare I say, jail ready) radio, the clear transparent model I have anyway. No clock. No light for the LCD screen. That is OK. Just a great radio with great battery life from a pair of AAA batteries. (Other models, identical brothers and sisters to this one, apparently do offer lighted screen, clock and alarm). In any case, this is truly a pocket radio. You can probably fit two in a pack of cigarettes. But don't take my word for it, I do not smoke, so that is only a guess. But it is light, it is good, it is sensitive. It is a radio that does the job as good as any pocket radio and better than most. No regrets and I am happy I own one.

This is a very neat little radio. I wanted something clear so I could see the insides of the device - you don't see many clear electronics around and being able to get a close up look at the circuit board and other components is a big plus in my book.I understand this item's value from a security standpoint, but I like it purely for its geek aesthetic.Reception is just okay, hence my rating. It seems susceptible to interference, so it's best if you can use it while relaxing in just one spot instead of on your commute. I think the reception could be improved, which would truly make this a much better device.Don't let that deter you from getting it if you like the way it looks, however. It works, sounds good, and gets good battery life. You really can't go wrong.

PROS:o Impressive performance, both in tuning sensitivity and audioo Clear case scores major coolness points at least for meo Nicely laid out buttons and controlsCONS:o Nothing I have found yetRequires the use of ear buds or headphones, but obviously that is the design so yeah that's what I expected.Overall, I can find nothing about this little radio that is off putting. Good reception, nicely laid out controls, good sound, ESPECIALLY if you use upgraded ear buds or headphones. I bought both the Monk Plus ear buds Ollivan C3254 VE Monk 3.5mm Jack In Ear Hi-Fi Stereo Bass Earphone Noise Isolating Transparent Classic Earbud Style Headphones for iPods Mp3 Mp4 Player Tablets and Old iPhones and the Grado SR60e headphones Grado SR60e Headphones and the sound is FANTASTIC... with the Grados, and "bass boost" turned on, there is almost TOO MUCH bass. It does, however, make it sound a little "muddier", as one might expect. So anyway, overall, initially I am more than slightly impressed with this little receiver. I am going to try it at work (I do commercial cleaning) and see if the use of ear buds is practicable... if so, I expect to be using this a LOT.

This tiny radio is an incredible value. The performance is incredible for a radio of this size and price point. It comes with its own earbuds, and the sound quality is just fantastic. I had no trouble pulling in most of my local stations. It even grabbed a couple of local AM stations that have always difficult to get in my apartment. They weren't crystal clear like the others, but they were good enough to hear, and that alone is a big improvement.The small size is great for travelling, or just listening to while doing chores around the house. The clear case is really cool too. It's really interesting to see the just how small everything on the inside is, which further makes me appreciate the performance of this little radio.The only criticism I can really come up with is that the clear case does make it a little more difficult to read the buttons than a solid case does. So this might be harder to get used to if someone's vision isn't so great. Still, the instruction manual makes very clear where everything is located, and the radio is a breeze to operate once you have that information. That all being said, due to the ease of use, I would still recommend the clear case to anyone who is interested in it, regardless of their eyesight.Summing all this up, grab one of these, I doubt you'll regret it.

I'm a radioaholic and listen to the radio all the time. While I'm out and about away from the car and the house, I need a pocket radio. This one has great reception. Even with stations I was unable to receive or received only very poorly with every other radio I've tried. It's also extremely compact and I barely notice it in my shirt pocket or any other pocket of a jacket etc. What's more it will go for hours and hours and hours on a pair of AAA rechargeable batteries. I listen to this at least a couple of hours a day and probably don't t swap out the batteries more than once every couple of months. By the way, this radio comes in opaque white plastic and it's the same radio but I just happen to like the clear unit so I can see what's inside it.

The A.M reception is muddy sounding; even with very strong local stations. The FM sensitivity is not as good as the little Sony radio that has been around for years; most FM stations have background (atmospherics) noise. That is very disturbing and unpleasant. I do like the memory and especially the low batt indicator; but the poor reception will sure limit my use of this radio.
