Sangean WR-16 AM/FM Bluetooth Wooden Cabinet Radio

I've had my eye on this radio for awhile, so when the price dropped on Amazon I jumped on it. I am not disappointed. It is not only beautifully designed but sturdily built. It is quite solid and heavy and the sound quality is superb for such a small speaker. The controls have a sturdy quality feel to them, not cheap and chintzy as in cheaper plastic radios. The FM reception is very sensitive and the stations come in crystal clear with a nice bass fullness that small radios frequently lack. There are plenty of connection options with a AUX IN and a headphone out plus USB charging and connections for external FM and AM antennas. I used the FM antenna that came with the radio and don't feel the need for anything more. I also connected a small inexpensive AM loop antenna which enhances my AM reception for talk radio. Another welcome feature is the Bluetooth connectivity so I can listen to any Internet content I care to access. Overall I'm very pleased with my purchase and thoroughly enjoy the beauty, quality, and simplicity of this radio. If you love old school radio with the added convenience of Bluetooth, you won't be sorry.

Big, rich sound. Deeply textured - you can hear all the individual instruments. Sound is a little bass heavy. Radio and Bluetooth work perfect and are super easy to use. Wasn't sure about spending $100 on a radio but the sound is SO much better than the cheaper one it replaced, totally worth the price.

I really like this radio a lot. I've had a couple of these recently, where they're sort of a nod to the retro past with one quality speaker, and an old analog style dial. I compared this side by side with a Tivoli in my office, and I think that the Sangian wins. It has a very high quality sound, and I can pull in my local stations nicely. The cabinet is easy on the eyes and fits right in with our professional office.

Very good sound for the size of this radio. I like the fact it is not digital, I can fine tune the stations as the green light becomes stronger.

I've been wanting and waiting to get one of these for over a year now. But now that I have gotten it in hand I'm honestly a little disappointed.First the good: the build quality is phenomenal. Very solid, very beautiful radio. Knobs are smooth and sure. I have no doubt this radio will last for years. The fit and finish are definitely top tier. Stations lock in well when tuning - I'm sure that's due to a PLL tuning system. I kinda wish it didn't have the PLL circuit, but I knew going in that it would.FM performance is good with both internal and external antennas. Given the presence of interference, it definitely fares better with the external one. I have it sitting next to my computer and it does great with the external antenna.AM is a mixed bag. Definitely needs an external antenna, in my opinion. I don't listen to AM much, so it's a non-issue.Bluetooth works great and pairs easily and quickly. Honestly, though, if you just want a bluetooth speaker, there are better options out there. But, it's a nice add-on. Still not sure if I'd get the BT model again, though.OK, so the sound. The sound is a mixed bag. The bass extends faaaaar too much into the midrange so speaking vocals sound boomy and muffled. I was listening to a more bass-heavy song and every time a bass note hit it sounded like someone turned the volume down on the rest of the music. It was super weird. This can make female vocals sound richer, but male vocals tend to get stuffy and heavy.Overall, it's a beautiful radio that errs on the side of being too warm and boomy. For some that'll be great. Definitely not great for critical listening. But, great radio overall.

Excellent product!
