Excellent sound!.......2007-04-04

We purchased this radio for my mother-in-law.
The dial is lighted for easy tuning and the dial itself has a little resistance so when you find your station, you do not slip past it. Easy!
More importantly, the sound quality is very good indeed.
For a small table top radio, it fully meets & exceeds expectations.
Nice engineering for a great price.

I don't claim to be an expert in audio and don't want to spend a fortune for radio. The NR31 is inexpensive. Simple to operate(analog). And it delivers good sound. If you want to brag about Brand names, spend alot more and go for the Boses and Bostons and the Cambridges, etc. If you want to save money, go with the Emerson NR31

I picked this radio up sans the side speaker for $10. I took it out of the package in the store and plugged it in, and it sold itself. I had been looking at Tivolis and the superb Boston Acoustics table radio, but did not want to shell out the clams.

Pros:
1. The speaker is loud and clear.
2. I like the lighted dial.
3. Reception can be pretty good.

Cons:
1. Am/Fm dial is screwy (will sometimes mix Am and Fm bands simultaniously) I just turned it back and forth and it fixed itself.
2. Reception can be pretty bad, depending on the station and will mix frequencies.
3. Antenna is a sorry little wire. I may get into the guts and resolder a better antenna in place.

Can't be beat for $10 bones.

I have a Tivoli Model One and a Model Two which I have listened to for several years. They are both excellent radios. The Model One is $119, and the stereo Model Two is $199. The Emerson is a knock off of the Model Two. Last week Drug Mart had it on sale for $14.99! I decided to buy one as I figured for this price you can't go wrong. You can't beat this deal with a stick! Radio is nicely constructed out of wood, has a very nice sound, and looks really cool. So how does it compare to the Model Two which is $184 more? Well, it's not really fair to compare. The Tivoli is built sturdier and uses a higher quality wood. It has a jack for a subwoofer, and also a knob setting for aux. (so you can switch to a cd or mp3 player.) It has a better frequency response with a fuller sound, and a little more bass. The Emerson does not have a jack for a subwoofer, and when you use the aux jack you have to unplug it before you can use the radio again. But the dial of the Emerson lights up with a cool orange! The Emerson also picks up weaker am stations better without an external loop antenna. FM reception is ok, but only the weakest signals were not being received. The fact that I can even compare a radio I paid $15 for with a $200 one is amazing. Of course the Tivoli is going to be a better radio as it should for $199. But the Emerson is by far the better deal! I set it up in my bedroom and was listening to it over the weekend and comparing it to the Tivoli. I even plugged my iPod shuffle in to it. I am totally satisfied with the quality and especially the sound of this radio. It is going to stay in the bedroom. I told my sister about it and they went out and got one too. They are also very happy with it. So it's not a $199 Tivoli, but if you want a very nice sounding stereo wood table radio that looks really cool at an unbelievable price, get the Emerson! I would have given it 5 stars, but the FM dial is off a little bit. So maybe 97.5 is really 98.5 at the pointer, but that is not really a big thing and does not affect the performance of the radio. Oh yeah, one more thing- it seems that the Emerson has more power and will play louder than the Tivoli.

Excellent Product.......2006-12-27

I'm really glad that I took a chance on this product. I wanted a radio for work to use independent of my computer. This product looks good and performs well. The radio knobs are very tight and precise. The ability to hook an MP3 player up is an additional bonus. The sound produced by using the MP3 player is also excellent. Maybe there were problems with this unit before, but I can say that this product is excellent. I was considering the Boston Acoustics or Tivoli, but I'm glad that I found this unit.
