I have been looking for a radio like this for awhile now. I like the ease of the buttons and the lock and the display. The speakers are just right for the AM listening that I do. The battery life is pretty short, about a week and a half although I do keep it on alot but it should be longer than that. The volume control is hard to gauge though. I can't tell that my fingers are on it or if I am moving the dial.

Over all, I am really happy with the radio. I like that you have earbuds included AND an extra headphone jack. I would recommend this to anyone who likes portable radios.

Unlike other pocket radios, e.g., those offered by Sony and Grundig, the Sangean's tuner is digital, with no drift. Once tuned, a station remains tuned. The internal speaker is large enough to deliver sound without distortion even when the volume dial is rotated to the maximum setting. The built-in earphones deliver amazing stereo quality, and the 3.5 mm earphone jack also accommodates external devices such as two battery-powered Altec Lansing music speakers (also offered on this website) linked with a 3.5 mm splitter cable (two females, one male). If you own a Sangean PR-D5 radio, try comparing its sound with that of the DT-220A/double Altec Lansing combination, and then play the same station on both simultaneously, one on each side, with the volume equalized, for a simulated and highly realistic concert experience.
