DT-400W Weather Alert Pocket Radio, AM/FM, Yellow

I had been using the Sony SRF-M37 for 6 or 7 years until I had damaged the earphone jack. I have replaced the Sony with the Sangean DT-400W and have no regrets. My experience with the FM reception on the Sangean is that it is superior to the reception on the Sony. For example, I use a whole house transmitter to broadcast a signal from my Sirius Satellite radio receiver on an FM frequency. The Sony was able to pick up that signal most of the time but there where spots in the house where it dropped the signal. So far, the Sangean is definitely picking up the signal in more spots of the house and the signal comes in much clearer than it did on the Sony. The Sangean can even pick up the whole house transmitter in the garage, which the Sony was unable to do. I also have much better reception on the Weather Band selection than I ever had on the Sony. I have not tried the weather alert function on the Sangean (which the Sony does not have). I prefer the structure of the presets function on the Sangean compared with the Sony. The Sony has 10 FM presets and 5 AM presets. However, the Sangean has 19 presets which can be used for either FM or AM, in other words you can have all 19 presets on FM, or all 19 presets on AM, or you can have a mix of any number of AM/FM presets. Also, you can cycle through the presets either forward or backwards with the arrow buttons. If you are not using all of the presets, I am using 10, the favorites button only cycles through the 10 saved stations as opposed to all 19 presets. I have a desktop radio by another manufacturer that cycles through all presets whether they have a station saved or they are empty, very annoying. One downside compared to the Sony is that the Sangean is a little bit bigger, and a little bit heavier. Partly the weight difference is due to the fact that the Sangean uses 2 AA batteries as opposed to the 1 AAA battery that the Sony uses. Another downside is that the earbuds that come with the Sangean have pretty poor audio quality. I use a $5 pair of Radio Shack buds that work great and have much better sound quality. Lastly, I spent about $20 more for the Sangean than what the Sony sells for, it is worth it because you get what you pay for. Bottom line is that I was happy with the Sony SRF-M37 but I am Excited to own the Sangean DT-400W. Also, I am glad that I took a shot on the Sangean which I had no past experience with (as opposed to going with the Sony again, which I almost did.) By the way, the back light shuts off within a few seconds after having pushed a button. It does not stay on for long, so no worries on draining the batteries. This is a quality radio made by a company whose main focus is making radios and because of that, Sangean produces a solid product.

I really Like the DT-400W Radio, I also have the C Crane Pocket, The C Crane Pocket is a superior radio in several ways and worth the little extra money. I also have the Sangean DT-200 also which is the same radio as the DT-400 it just has the Weather Alert and NOAA weather, and its Yellow. Other than that they are the Same radio. Quality of product is Good, Sound Quality from speaker Is Good. FM stereo sound quality Is Good from Good quality Earbuds. The earbuds that come with the radio are Not ones I Like to use, I like the press In ear type earbuds. AM reception is Good for a Pocket radio of its size, With No external AM antenna it does pretty well. When I want to Pull in More AM stations I use My Tecsun AN-200 adjustable Loop AM Antenna they are awesome for really bringing In those weak AM stations, On a weak station it goes from: I can barely hear/understand it to, Wow what a great Improvement and very clear sound and even music on AM is nice to listen to with the external AM Loop antenna. This is a small radio that is easy to program, This is a Emergency Radio, the speaker sound is descent, it designed to NOT use a lot of battery power but conserve it, so Earbugs Good ones are a better choice for higher quality sound. As for FM reception Earbuds act as the FM antenna, It also comes with a separate plug in antenna, either one works as a antenna when playing sound through the speaker. Deep Bass Button works well through the earbuds. For better FM reception while playing through the speaker, I have a Sangean ANT-60 reel SW FM antenna that works well for bring in weak stations. Things I like about this Radio: I like the size of this radio, and the color. Sound quality, it Locks in stations very well, The Battery Life is very good, In a emergency situation It is nice to have a radio that can play for 80 hours straight before battery replacement is needed. I like the Plug in Wire FM antenna, The metal Telescoping antennas can get bent or broken fairly easily as they are fragile, But a wire is flexible. You can plug in a Longer wire FM Antenna to improve FM reception Into the headphone jack. I bought a few extra Headphone jack plugs and attached a 75foot wire to this little radio to get further stations it works well. Things I would have Liked to have had is a button press to see the time while the radio is on, you have to turn the radio off to see the clock Not a big deal. for such a Great radio, Maybe a countdown on the 90minute timer, that's the only thing. It really is a great radio

Radio muy comoda para llevar, la playa, el campo, el baño, la rerraza... Muy buena calidad; sonido bueno, sensibilidad buena... Bonita para mi; cuestion de gustos... El unico inconveniente es su precio, muy cara...

As Sourav said in the review, he is correct. It's not cheap chinese product. The reception is excellent and sound quality is awesome. I checked with FM, AM as well both works absolutely fantastic. WX is not useful in India. It's very small in size and compact. I recommend this product for those who like to listen radio, don't buy any other brand. Just go for it !!! Before buying, I searched a lot in google and in youtube which one to buy. Finally I found this is the perfect pocket size radio and no tension of antenna one of the major plus point of this radio. Initially, i felt it's expensive but once i had it in my hand. I felt it's long lasting quality in it. Lock button, LCD display (Good quality and durable), Speaker, Clock, Removable Belt Clip (very sturdy), 19 Random Presets, 90 minutes auto shutoff, Digital AM/FM tunner really helps to lock perfect radio stations. The biggest advantage i feel is it's not having an telescopic antenna which usually comes with all other radios. A headphone jack works as an antenna, is awesome!!! Now, I will tell you the dimensions of this Sangean-DT400W Radio: 2.5 inches width, 4.25 inches in height and thickness 1 inch. Including battery the weight is around 155 grams. Programming is dam easy in it. Once we set it as My favorites, no need to tune it again and again. So far I have used panasonic, sony and philips radio's but the quality of sound and reception in SANGEAN DT-400W is not comparable to any other brands. A very high build quality is fantastic in my opinion.

Recommend this one. AM reception is excellent as is the FM. I mainly listen with headphones and the sound quality is very good. Weather channel is handy and does work. The in built speaker is handy. Of course this is a tiny speaker. Running talk radio on AM it’s certainly usable. With FM station that have better sound quality the speaker works but your not getting the full quality of the audio from the station. But again perfectly serviceable Like the yellow colour you certainly can’t miss place it. Battery life is amazing and nice it’s just AA cells easy to get anywhere. Having a clock permanently showing when not listing to the radio is brilliant. Highly recommended radio. Little pricey but worth it.

This is a worthless piece of junk in Australia . You can only program AM stations in units of 10. So eg you cant program 612 only 610. Hence reception is poor
