This radio is everything I wanted in a pocket radio with one killer exception: reception. All I wanted was a radio that would hold the (strong) signal from a local NPR station on my 3.5-mile bike commute to work -- and it failed. Comes in fine at home, but at about 1 mile I lose the signal. Most days, I can't hear anything but static for 1/4 to 1/2 of my route. The design of the radio is great, but what good is a portable radio it if you can't hear it over a couple miles on the road?

The product was fine except it was not what I was looking for. I need for it to be used without earphones.

No complaints about this little machine. I haven't used it much, but the sound has been clear. I've used the supplied headphones on other devices and they seemed pretty clear. I found the 90-minute auto-off to be a double edged sword, listening to sports or NPR on the weekend: saves the battery, but might cut out at a crucial play.
Another thing you might not think of: it's easier to find a white device than a black one when you've tossed it into a laptop or gym bag.

I bought his item for my mom. She said she wanted an ipod, but then found out that ipods don't have AM radio (nor do any other mp3 players that I could find)...since she listens to AM radio almost exclusively (I doubt she knows what an mp3 is) I got her this. It was billed by one reviewer as the ipod of portable radios, so I bought it. She raves about this radio. It is lightweight, holds a charge for a long time, takes only one AAA battery. It has a sleep function and turns itself off after an hour or so to save batteries. She also loves that it also gets tv audio reception.
She doesn't like the earbuds and uses some cheap foam headphones. I have listened to it myself (with the crappy headphones) and it has really great sound quality for a device this size. I'm sure with the earbud or some even better headphones, the sound quality is outstanding.
She thought I spent a lot more than I did... I highly recommend.
If they could add an mp3 capability to it, I would buy one for myself...

I bought the Sangean DT-180V AM/FM/TV Band Pocket Radio to replace a Sony digital pocket radio that aged ungracefully. I do not know how the Sangean will age yet, but the reception is a major disappointment. To be clear about it, it is only used to listen to an NPR FM station in a major city. No AM stations, no obscure radio station, no out of the way towns or remote locations. No mater where I walk, reception is consistently not good, and significantly worse than what I had with the Sony radio (which was not perfect either, but definitely reasonable). For lack of motivation to purchase another Sony radio and after not finding a better option my conclusion is that the only solution is to listen to the "radio" via podcasts or other forms of digitally downloaded content.
