WR-16SE AM/FM/Bluetooth/Aux-in/USB Phone Charging 45th Anniversary Special Edition Wooden Cabinet Radio (Dark Walnut with Rose Gold)

Excellent product , Good clarity & Amazing color

I ordered it twice it’s really cute but both times the radio stopped working as soon as you plug it in :/ leaving very bad smell. It works for a second and then stopes as if there is a short circuit. Connected to an adapter and plug that other appliances and devices where plugged in and no issue there. Twice same thing happened.

Adquirí el Radio Sangean después de investigar durante algún tiempo, y desde que lo vi en Amazon me gusto, así que me arriesgue y lo Compre. El radio es de una excelente calidad y esta hermoso, el mueble es de madera solida y las perillas son de metal, compre el de color nogal con frente oro rosa. El funcionamiento es muy bueno de hecho solo le puse el cable que trae como antena y tiene una recepción de gran calidad, sintoniza todas las estaciones de FM de mi ciudad y hasta el momento la mayoría de AM pero en cuanto le ponga una antena sin dudas sintonizara todas las AM, el sonido es muy bueno para un radio. Tengo un radio de los años 70 que dejo de funcionar y el sangean se escucha mucho mejor. Otra cosa que me sorprendió es la excelente calidad del que Bluetooth con que cuenta, tuve la oportunidad de probarlo a una distancia de 9 metros con dos paredes de concreto como barrera y en ningún momento escuche que disminuyera la nitidez del sonido al estar reproduciendo canciones de mi celular. Estoy muy contento con este radio y es sin duda una compra muy recomendable. El envío fue desde Amazon Estados Unidos y llego en menos de una semana

I read a ton of reviews for this before i ordered it. I am happy with my purchase. Some said their Sangean was not real wood. This rose gold and walnut IS true and genuine walnut and metal. The weight of this radio is substantial. The speaker is high quality. It actually sounds better than my old Bose speakers, which i could hook up to this if i wanted, but find it unnecessary. The dial is so satisfying to turn, especially if you are into vintage and retro things. The reception upon first try is great! I did employ the radio antenna wire they included. The Sangean picked up our local public radio station just fine, which is actually located about 60 miles from where i am. I purchased this solely to listen to classical radio at the shop. Goal attained :) However, if i wanted, the Bluetooth works great, and i even plugged my ipad into the aux port so i could listen to podcasts. Sound is clear and easy to understand. I had no feeling of too much bass, as others mentioned in their reviews. Also, i have not found it to lose signal at all once tuned in. Admittedly, the public radio station needs a little finesse to tune into initially, but once i am there, it sticks. I can turn it off and on again, and the station stays tuned in. I have not found anything negative about this radio. It's simple, solid, stylish, and aesthetically pleasing in every way. This is brand new to me, so if anything changes i will update. I received nothing for this review...just sharing my experience.

I bought the WR16 radio to replace my TEAC HD-1. I would say this has much better FM reception than the HD-1 even with just a simple wire antenna. This radio is AM/FM only, no HD, no RDS but this is what I prefer after owning the HD-1 for more than 10 years. The analog dial tuning is much better than the digital dial. Afterall it is the failure of the digital controls that rendered the HD-1 nearly unusable. The output power are similar, 6.5 W for the WR16 and 6 W for the HD-1. HD-1 does play louder probably due to the dual speakers vs single on the WR16. The wood veneer complement the vintage look of the WR16. Overall, highly recommended if you are looking for a solid radio. The bluetooth works but I didn't use it enough to comment on its performance.

I can only say that after four years, I'm still loving it.

Giving it 5 stars, but there are just a few things that would make it even better. I bought this for someone who is suffering from dementia. We needed to get them something that would be simple to operate, yet familiar. It *almost* nails that, coming up just short, because the power/band selector is oddly placed as the middle knob with only very small text to demarcate it. This in itself does not lose the 5th star. +The sound quality for a mono speaker unit at this price is excellent +The size of the unit is very convenient +The reception of stations is excellent, on both the internal antenna and external +The tuning knob has just the right amount of weight to it and lands on stations with a gratifying LED response =The style is subjectively ok. Not great, not bad, just ok =The weight is about what you'd expect for something that sounds this good. Significant, but not heavy =Kind of wish they'd swapped the power/band selection knob to the right of the volume, instead of in the middle -No programable station buttons -A simple power switch would have made this vastly more accessible for people who require ease of use. -The wood finish is nice, but somewhat spoiled by having a big brand logo carved into it on the top On the whole, it's a very good buy.
