(Headphone Jack). The reception is great, its small and easy to carry in your pocket. I have an ipod and the quality is very close to it. And this is by far the best radio for the price. So if your looking for a small, great sounding radio, this is the one for you. It can pick up even weak stations with the external antenna.
The optional Bass booster(DBB) helps a lot with the qualtiy. I have read tons of reviews on this radio and others similar to it. I just got it recently, and i love it. The sound quality is almost as good as an mp3 player.
I have dropped it several times on the concrete floor, I keep the battery door on with a rubber band. Good reception. Use rechargeable batteries. I have used this little guy for the past 3.5 years. Mostly I use it in one spot at work for a few hours a day. Very tough little radio.
However, the directions are clear and if followed become intuitive. To me, having presets is huge as I prefer to surf my favorite radio stations when commercials are run. I never found this annoying. Hey, it's a pocket radio. It's about as portable as a credit card and co$tly.I've read a number of reviews and I'd like to dispel a few comments.Some folks have claimed that you can only go through the presets unidirectional. Having owned the Sony I can't really consider this a "pocket" radio. That's not true.
However, I purchased the Sangean because of many good reviews and I'm not disappointed. You won't have to refer back to the manual again once you learn it.Someone else complained that the speaker was tinny. I think the sound is decent for its size. You can easily listen to radio via the speaker. It takes AA batteries so that can account for it's depth. Perhaps if you actually used 19 presets then it could become painful.Another person complained that it was difficult, at first, to program presets. The The sound quality, the reception, the cost, the back-lighting are the best. The DT-200X is over an inch thick.Here's a website you can visit to see the Sony to which I'm comparing: audcubes2 dot com.
Having owned the Sony for 3 years I'm kinda curious why Sangean can't make a smaller, thinner unit with the same great reception and sound. The Sony T615 can only be purchased in Japan or via websites that sell Japanese mainland products. There are up and down arrows on the front of this unit.
If you try to deduce how to program this from trial and error he's probably correct. If I were to purchase a radio in the future I'd probably buy a Sangean. Yes, the Sony is friggin' expensive.This Sangean radio has made me a big fan of the company.
I currently own the Sony SRF-T615 which, in my opinion,is superior mostly due to it's size. You may think that the lack of preset buttons is inconvenient, however, I have radio controls on the steering wheel of my car and I can surf up or down. The Sony SRF-T615 has a speaker and in comparison it sounds like tin foil crinkling.
It saves the batteries.I would recommend this radio to anyone looking for high quality at a reasonable price. Also, the locking function is cool, much like an Ipod's. You can switch from earphones to speaker, which is a nice feature. This is a good feature for anyone, like me, who falls asleep while listening in bed. I really like this radio. The tuner is sensitive and the sound is great. I particularly like the timer, which turns the radio off after 90 minutes.
At night able to tune in stations up 1500 miles away, almost as if they were local. All AM or FM, if desired. Extremely sensanive. Best memory ever with the ability to place 19 AM/FM station in any order. Has lighted digital readout.
