About Sangean DT-180 AM / FM Pocket Radio
Overall Feedback:
79% positive
67% appreciated the long-lasting battery life
Rechargeable batteries last about a week and regular batteries would probably last double that. Battery life also depends on how much I use it (I use it for about 2 to 3 hours a day).
After more than 12 hours, my meter shows a full strength battery and the battery life is excellent according to reviews.
I can use one AAA battery for 30 hours as the battery life is really long.
I use the product daily and its greatest feature is its long battery life. I haven't changed the battery in 2 weeks.
75% found it extremely comfortable to wear
The earphones provide good fidelity and are comfortable even on classical music station.
The DT-180 is easy to use while walking and is comfortably sized.

The radio is easy to use and great because it uses normal batteries that are inexpensive and easy to replace.

78% praised its lightweight and portable design
This portable headset radio doesn't fade in and out constantly while moving fast in the car and buildings between them and the transmitter, unlike the one I tried before.
The DT-180 and DT-120 are possibly the smallest good pocket radios available and are easy to hold while walking.
The DT-180 is a great choice for a pocket receiver as it is portable.
84% impressed with the strong radio reception
After testing the radio in different areas on different days, I can confidently say that if this radio won't receive your station, no radio will. This indicates that the radio has good reception and can receive stations clearly.
In a pocket radio, I have never encountered better FM reception than the Sangean DT-180.
I have noticed that the FM reception of two classical stations is terrible in my area, but this radio pulls them in beautifully.
This radio pulls in two classical stations beautifully despite their terrible FM reception in my area.
The signal is clear almost all the time with no interference from other stations.
91% praised the crystal-clear sound quality
I am very particular about sound quality and think it is a great value for money.
The sound quality is very good with excellent stereo separation.
The sound quality, signal separation, and sensitivity are excellent.
I have replaced the earbuds with inexpensive headphones, but the sound quality is still excellent.
