Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Boasting an acoustically balanced wooden enclosure and an enhanced front-firing 3-inch speaker, the Sangean WR-2 tabletop radio offers the sound and features of a living room system in a cabinet that fits conveniently in a bedroom, kitchen, or garage. Any discussion of the WR-2 begins with its white wooden housing, which is rich in both appearance and tone. The cabinet's front surface features the speaker on the left side, a series of intuitively placed control buttons toward the bottom, and a generously sized LCD display in the middle with three brightness levels. More importantly, the cabinet teams with the 7-watt amplifier and the acoustic bass compensation system to add warmth and depth to the audio. Complementing the housing is Sangean's advanced RF/IF electronic circuitry, which picks up distant AM and FM stations and reproduces them with unmatched clarity, making music and even talk programs come alive.

Even though the WR-2 is advertised as an AM/FM radio, it offers much more than a standard digital tuner, including a Radio Data System (RDS) that displays short text messages on applicable FM stations, along with support for the Enhanced Other Network (EON) and its traffic information (available in certain regions). And unlike most tabletop radios, the WR-2 lets listeners adjust the treble and bass levels via the variable volume control. In its default mode, the rotary volume knob displays the volume level from 1 to 60. Tap it once, however, and it turns into a full-range treble control, and two taps creates a full-range bass control. Additional features include a clock with an alarm (radio or buzzer), an auxiliary input jack for connecting such devices as an iPod or MP3 player (both of which sound great through the speaker), a recording output jack, 10 memory presets that help you quickly find your favorite stations, and a full-featured infrared remote control.

A final bonus stems from the power backup function, which plays the radio for six minutes during a power failure (ideal for emergencies) and retains the memory preset and clock values for about an hour. The WR-2 measures roughly 9.5 by 4.5 by 6 inches (W x H x D) and weighs 5.5 pounds.

4 out of 5 stars Night-time companion.......2007-05-17

Well built quality product. Easy to use features. I especially like the volume knob which gives smooth and precise control. The sound quality is very nice. Somewhat disapointed in the AM reception at nightime, but it does better than my other home radios. I won't name my first born after this radio, but I do recommend it. Very good value and well satisfied with purchase.

5 out of 5 stars Best Radio.......2007-02-13

This was in fact the BEST radio ever....sound is excellent, convenience can't compare and a remote!! My husband is very finicky and this was one of the BEST products...highly recommend.

5 out of 5 stars Great sound, beautiful design, a few flaws.......2007-01-22

My old alarm clock radio recently bit the dust, so I started a search for an upgrade. I initially looked at the Bose, but stumbled upon Sangean radios. I usually listen to NPR and jazz in the evening, and the Sangean seemed to fit the bill. Plus, I really like the design. And the price. Amazon got it to me in 3 days with free shipping, and I haven't been disappointed with the radio's performance. It has great sound, and the remote control is great for the other side of the bed (when you don't want to reach over your partner to turn it off).

A couple of things to consider, however. The backlight on the readout is adjustable, but the lowest setting is a bit bright for a dark room. Fortunately, the brightness control is right on the front. I just turn off the backlight before drifting off to sleep. The backlight also has separate setting for when the radio is "off" and "on." Another thing. The radio does not display the time when it is on. This is so broadcast digital data can display while playing (e.g., for stations with data broadcasting, the display scrolls the name of the station, title of the song, etc.). It would be nice to see the time when you wake up (and after you hit snooze a few times), but it's not a big deal. Just touch the "display" button on the front, and the radio switches to display the time. We also have an analog clock on the opposite bedside table. And yes, there is a snooze function (5 min.), although the product info doesn't mention it. You activate it by touching any of the buttons on the front. Sangean has also thoughtfully designed the alarm volume to gradually increase as it comes on, so you aren't jolted awake.

All said, I would recommend this radio. It looks great and performs well. For the price, I'd say it's a great buy.

5 out of 5 stars best radio I've found -- forget "HD radio" for now.......2007-01-08

After being disappointed with my HD radio experimentations, I decided on this white Sangean -- my decision being based largely on the customer reviews here. I'm very pleased: sound as good as "HD" as far as I'm concerned. I can't believe people buy radios like that flimsy Boston Acoustics Receptor thing.

I use the the WR-2 in the bedroom, where the adjustable brightness is ideal. Overall, well built, great sound, large display, handy remote. Solid. What else do you need? The white model is very sharp.

5 out of 5 stars great radio.......2006-09-29

I initially bought a black one and loved it soo much that I went and bought a white one. I have it hooked up by aux port to a mac mini and small wall mounted 19" lcd. Looks great and can listen to internet radio at night plus surf the web with a classy sound interface. The white colour and fit (I have it stacked on top) also matched the mac mini perfectly so don't be afraid. All in all it's a great radio with good sound for a small bed room.
