Customer Reviews:

A nice radio.......2006-10-30

I have had this readio for a couple of years and find it's sound mello and it's design cool...woken up to it...listened to sports...I don't view TV...enlighten your lives and turn the TV off and the Q on!

Sangean PR-D2 , Not bad, Not great.......2004-04-29

This radio looks great. I really liked the style. However, that's about all I really liked. Another reviewer compared the sound to the Bose Wave radio. Either they've never heard the Bose or they were just really happy with the price comparison. At high volumes the radio sounds ok but at lower volumes it sounds like it play from inside a cardboard box. I could live with that but my real disappointment was with the tuning. I live in the mountains where radio reception is difficult. Usually "PLL Synthesized Digital Tuning for rock stable reception of AM/FM" is exactly that. In this radio the tuning is stable but the reception was worse than other cheap dial tuning radios that I own. Often raising the antenna made the reception even worse. I really wanted to like this radio but it's just lacking in too many areas. The clock vs frequency display feature is another really bad idea.

Great Bedside Radio.......2004-01-25

My Sangean Q arrived via Fedex within 7 days of placing the order.

I was impressed immediately with the classic retro design
and the obvious assembly quality. The controls, large knobs and buttons, are very easy to see, feel, and manipulate. The backlighting glows a warm golden shade and can be turned off. The various buttons on top that control functions are designed to make their use intuitive - I set the radio up to my preferences, and then read the manual! Very simple and straight forward.

Station reception is excellent, very important in rural east Texas. This quality, and the 5 pre-sets on each band, remind me of a car radio. The sound is pleasant and well balanced, a little weak on bass presence and separation, but considering the price and size, very adequate, and better than most other radios in this price range.

The Sangean Q is a fine, general purpose radio with above average convience features and sound. Keep the batteries fresh and you'll have a great emergency radio to boot!

A lot of radio. Not so much clock........2003-04-05

This would appear to be a car radio circuit put in an attractive, rather retro looking package. You get your five preset buttons, and the display is in a panel that looks like it would be at home in a dashboard as well as in the radio you're given.

You get car radio performance out of the radio circuit as well. First night I got it, on the AM side on a spring night I got New Orleans, Toronto, and Cleveland. The FM circuit appears to be just as solid, giving good reception on stations that usually are not easy to hear on the radio it replaced.

There's even a terminal to attach an external AM antenna to this thing; unfortunately there's no provision for an external FM antenna. The FM sound quality is solid, even though stereo can only be had through headphones. As a radio, this would be useful for sports fans and other AM listeners who follow teams in distant cities at night.

The clock radio part is very basic, however, with only one clock or alarm setting. When the radio comes on, as noted below, the display shows the frequency instead of the time; you can't set up for a different display. There's no fancy stuff that allows you to fall asleep to one station and wake to another, or to adjust the sleep and wake volume to different settings. The only way you get a clock memory is to add the batteries that power the radio itself: four D cells. The whole package is rather heavy with the batteries in.

If your needs for a clock radio are very basic, this would work fine. If the performance of the radio is more important than the performance of the clock, again this is a good choice. If you need a multifeature clock radio, look elsewhere.

Sangean Q has serious faults as a clock radio........2003-02-06

I purchased the Sangean Q for use primarily as a clock radio. The problem is that when the radio comes on to wake me up, the time does not display, just the station frequency. To see the time, you must turn off the radio. I'm in the habit of listening to the radio for a while before getting out of bed, and I don't want to have to keep reaching over to turn the radio off and on to check on the time. Another problem is that the display is angled up so that it can only be read from above. Therefore, if the radio is located next to the bed on a nightstand, it cannot be read by someone lying in bed.

On the positive side, it has excellent tone and station holding properties and looks nice, although the wood panels on the sides of the gray version (comes in gold or gray)don't appear to have any finish, making me wonder if they will becomed soiled too easily.

My experience with the supplier was not good. The first Sangean Q I received did not work correctly, and it took two telephone calls, a trip to the UPS dropoff center, and three weeks to get a replacement.
