After almost a year the on off button gave out, (stuck in the "OFF" mode). Small Fits comfortably in shirt pocket, light, easy to use.Sounds great(at a moderate volume) And not too pricey. Got my 1st one 2 yrs ago.still works.except for the volume control, stuck on full volume after about a year. Great Radio WHEN IT"S WORKING. I'll Probably buy another after the speaker goes completely out on the 1st one Speaker is shot now.Sounds like crap now.but it works. Bought a second one after a few weeks of Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity & Glen Beck at full Volume (got alot of dirty looks from liberals).
Easy to use. Sangean DT-210 AM/FM Pocket-Size Digital RadioExcellent reception.
A couple of the features that are very important for my usage are lock (keeping radio on and on the proper station when bumped) and the ability to engage or disengage the 90 minute shut-off. The Sangean DT-210 has so far lived up to my expectations based on previous reviews. Overall I'm am very pleased after one week of heavy use. A couple of minor negatives are battery life is more like 20 hours with rechargables and the ear buds aren't the best. I've used it 8 to 10 hours a day this week listening to AM stations as a delivery driver. The reception was very good in and out of my truck.
Negative: It's way difficult to get belt-clip clipped but then I'm technically challenged. Sound is fine and it gets reception where other radios can't. Good for running on treadmill.
After a week with the Sangean DT-210V, I am happy with the reception on the entire journey. Even set to stereo, the reception is far superior to my other two units, and pretty close to the reception I get from my car on the odd occassion I have to drive in. I commute via park and ride bus in Houston daily. It is marginally better set to mono, and it is news, not music that I listen to. It costs a bit more, but the extra cost is well worth it for the better reception. The only way I find the bearable is to listen to the NPR news. I have tried two fairly cheap Sony handheld Fm radios, but there are some parts of the commute where the audio breaks down badly with hiss and interference, and some days the whole commute seems this way.
