DT-160 AM/FM Stereo Pocket Radio with up to 100 Operating Hours on 2 AA Batteries (White)

This radio has amazingly good sound quality and station lock in (only tested with FM so far). The build and workmanship quality is so evident. I have bought other radios that were half the cost or less and regret it. They have all failed in one manner or another. This unit is very easy to use and set up. Has more than enough memory sets, is has a large volume control on the left (push buttons) and has a tuning wheel on the right that is like a car blinker where you click up or down or press in. The power button switches mode on short pushes and a long hold down turns off unit. The unit automatically has a 90 minute time to power off too. The sound quality is superior to any other radio like this I have ever had. I pair this with the corded Apple ear buds (I have yet to find anything better than these ear buds). Radio takes two AA batteries and so far it seems like these batteries last a very long time. I have not had this long enough to determine durability, but will over the next month. I use it for exercise and bike riding and will update this post if anything changes. This unit is well worth the extra money....spend you money wisely and once. Thank you to Amazon for making this a Prime item. The unit came packaged well and quickly.

The DT-160 is really easy to get working, out of the box. I am not an audiophile or an AM DXer. I don't care if I get a slight fuzz-out on FM sometimes. I just want to listen to local voice and music radio stations with a reliable signal and decent sound while I am out walking my dogs or strolling around the Champlain Valley in far-northeast upstate NY. This radio is GREAT! It's very lightweight (less mass than a deck of cards) and easily fits in a pocket. I can pick up all of the local AM stations easily and even more FM stations, including one or two from Montreal (60 miles away). The DSP tuning will give you the best of both worlds - excellent selectivity while not sacrificing on sensitivity. Obviously, greater elevation will give you an advantage, but I have no complaints in our little rural city of Plattsburgh. Some folks don't like the headphones, which are the size of pennies and sit in the crook of each ear but I find them comfortable and practical because I am just walking, not bouncing around or doing strenuous exercise. Glad to recommend this product! Bonne chance et bonne réussite

I wanted to replace my trusty old Sony Walkman AM/FM analog pocket radio with a modern digital one. I was amazed when searching Amazon how inexpensive digital pocket radios were. I ordered one for just $17.99. It was OK, but it had a permanently attached big loop of a wrist strap. I was about to cut it off when I realized the wrist strap had a wire inside of it. It was the FM antenna! That wasn't going to work for me, so back it went. My next choice was a $12.99 digital pocket radio. The audio quality was terrible. A very noticeable and very annoying hiss permeated the audio. Then I remembered the old maxim, you get what you pay for. So I deicded to stick with brand names I knew and to crowbar open my wallet and pry out a few more simoleons. I ended up with this Sangen DT-160 as my choice. Wow. This is a nice radio. It has a quality feel, quality construction and a quality look. The sound quality is great. The Dynamic Bass Boost feature sounds terrific on FM. On AM talk radio, it softens the sound just a bit. Sensitivity is outstanding. I live 70 miles from a major city and am able to pull in stations that my old analog radio couldn't. The display backlight is nice for nighttime listening while in bed. As nice as this radio is, it has a few shortcomings. Whenever you turn it on, it will turn off automatically in 90 minutes. But, when turning the radio on, if you hold the on button down for two seconds, the auto-off feature is disabled (radio beeps to indicate the change). I wish this was the other way around. And the 90 minutes is fixed. You can't adjust that. So it's 90 minutes or nothing. I wish it had more memories than five per band. Although there are two FM bands with five memories each, but I listen mostly to AM. Scan tuning is a little touchy. If you're on 630 AM and there's a station at 650 AM, you'll probably miss the station on 650. Despite these shortcomings, this radio is a keeper! UPDATE: This radio pulls in AM stations from over 1,000 miles away! I'm located in Colorado and have picked up stations in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Dallas, El Paso, San Antonio, Minneapolis, Chicago, Saskatoon and Melfort Saskatchewan, Nashville and Louisville, the last two both over 1,000 miles distant! I should add that this reception was at night and not during the day.

Very hard to tune, can't fine tune it
