What a great little radio! I bought this on a whim for a big four-day F1 race event in Austin last year. I was hoping that I'd be able to tap into a race broadcast while in the stands track-side, and it worked perfectly! I needed to use some better earphones (F1 race cars are VERY noisy at 200+ MPH!) to fully understand all the programming and commentary. I was able to find options on both AM and FM too, extra bonus. One set of triple A batteries took care of my needs for the whole weekend too, so I didn't need my spares afterall. This radio is so small, it fit comfortably in my shirt pocket without a problem and took up very little space traveling. Later in the Summer, a big storm hit my area and I used this to get news and other information during a week-long power outage, which was really helpful. Now, my Pop, 88yrs uses it almost every day to listen to his favorite sports teams as he prepares for a night's sleep. There is nothing that I would change about this little radio. It has all the features you could want to receive local AM/FM broadcasts. Volume level is adequate for me and for my Pop who is a little hard of hearing. Strong recommend if you need a mini radio.

I use my own $15 bud earphones for more than acceptable sound on FM and a long enough cord for decent FM reception from regional FM stations. The AM reception from the built in AM antenna is excellent. From my location in southern Ontario, Canada, I am able, at night, to pick up stations from Chicago, Pittsburgh and Boston. The only dowside - Don't drop the radio on the floor, or you risk having 1 or 2 of the 5 little preset buttons falling out (and you can't stuff them back in, if you can find them). The current radio is a replacement of one I had for 3 years and is still working fine, except only 2 of 5 preset buttons remain. It does not have a speaker, but at this size, the sound would be crappie. Any decent earphones will give good sound. Not the cheapest little AM FM radio, but the best value in my opinion.

What this radio offers is the basic functionality that such devices would have had in the 1990s, with some simplification of the controls. At the same time the sound quality is near the top of what FM radio has to offer, which is assuming that headphones are being used that are also above-par. CD quality slightly exceeded this. My unit came in its original packaging, with ear-buds. I did not test the included ear-buds.Edit. Some radios from the 1990s had a sensitivity switch, between local and distant stations. This radio omits such a control, and its sensitivity to distant stations is below standards that were once set. In the same vein, although this radio has a feature to turn Stereo Off, to reduce background noise on weak stations, doing so reduces BG noise considerably but still doesn't allow for yet-weaker stations to be heard.

Excelente radioreceptor...!!!Estoy mas que satisfecho con su funcionamiento, tiene muy buena calidad de audio, y su tamaño lo hace ideal para portarlo en cualquier parte sin mayores problemas, ya que es bastante ligero y cabe en cualquier bolsillo...Es fácil de usar y la calidad de recepción es buena, tiene muy buena selectividad lo cual es muy importante para mi, porque no se mezcla el audio de las demás radiodifusoras con la que tengo sintonizada, la calidad del equipo al tacto es bastante buena, no se siente como los radios baratos que traen pequeños residuos sobrantes de plástico...Lo recomiendo bastante para quien es amante de escuchar la radio por dondequiera que vaya, la duración de las baterías es de bastante tiempo, a pesar de que siempre trae encendido el reloj, muy buena relación costo-beneficio...Muy buen radio portátil...!!!!

July 2015. Revisited this review. The radio was purchased in 2/2012 so I have been using it averaging 3 times a week for the last 3 1/2 years, mostly for jogging or walking (up to 3 miles). Still using the same set of AAA rechargeable NiMH batteries. Still working perfectly. Still using the same iPad ear buds from over 3 years ago. I would say I am extremely happy with this purchase. The unit is light and reliable and produces nice sound as long as you use good headphones or ear buds. Highly recommended.Old review from 2012:I have been using this delightful little radio for the last three months, mostly for listening to AM stations while walking/jogging (too bad iPod doesn't have AM radio). As other reviewers have mentioned, the ear bud head set is horribly useless. I threw it away after one day. Switched to an Apple ear bud from my Ipad ($30) and the improvement was immediate. I would have rated this product 5 stars if it had a more serviceable ear phone. It pulls in AM and FM signals from stations in Burbank and beyond 40+ miles away (I live in Orange County, CA), no static, no dropped signal. The FM stereo fidelity is pretty good. The first AAA alkaline lasted about two months with average 4-5 hours of usage per week. Have since installed a rechargeable AAA and still going strong after 3 weeks. The station preset buttons are very useful; buttons a little small but really not a big deal. Highly recommend this radio if you don't mind shelling out another $30 for an ear phone upgrade (that would make this radio $70).

I am a letter carrier for the post-office and my pocket radio was my constant companion. In this age of MP3 players andI-pods, it would seem that the AM /FM pocket radio had become extinct. No electronics store, even in New York City could offer a reasonable replacement for my worn out AIWA CR-LD100. I thought my radio days on the route were over. In desperation I searched the web and came upon the SANGEAN DT-120. If you are looking for a pocket sized, lite-weight radio that offers outstanding reception when you are on the move, then this is it. Only slightly bigger than the AIWA but not bulky at all. The reception is outstanding and there is plenty of volumn. With 5 preset buttons for 2 FM bands and 1 AM, you get 15 presets. The controls are not complicated at all. The on/off button is at the top, on the edge, and the volume toggle is directly below it(maybe a little too close to the on/off). On the front face, 4 buttons control the band selector, x-tra bass, and manual tuning. The digital display is plenty big and highly visible. Across the top edge are the TINY and close set, preset buttons. You can easily cover two of them with one finger tip, so you need a light touch. Its the only feature that is problematic for me, but in no way is it a deal breaker. The AM receiver is quite sensitive and easily pulls in distant stations, especially at night. Which is perfect if you like to search for sporting events from local stations in far away cities. The FM stereo is superb, loud ,clear, with lots of seperation. The sound quality of the ear buds is excellent, but because I walk all day I needed to replace them with the type that hook around my ears. I use this radio all day sometimes 10 hours a day, and the battery lasts about a week and a half. I never thought I would find a radio as good as my AIWA, but the Sangean DT-120 does the job for me.
