The Sangean DT-400W is the last pocket radio you will ever need to buy. It has about everything you could want, and then some, in a small, pocket sized portable radio. As an example the new NOAA weather Alert emergency channel sounds a very loud audible tone when an extreme weather condition is imminent and/or a police emergency or child abduction has occurred or any type of Public awareness becomes critical. Even with your radio off or you are listening to another station the weather Alert monitor continues to monitor the NOAA channels should an emergency arise. To conserve battery life The DT- 400W provides an option to select the time you would like the NOAA Alert to be active and a small LED alert flashes to remind you that the alert is on. In addition to emergencies The 7 NOAA channels provide up to date general weather information useful if you're planning a trip or just a picnic for the weekend. The large backlit LCD display clearly displays the time, station, battery life indication, Alert indication and all other pertinent information.

I am very happy so far with this radio. The reception is quite good, display is crisp and clear and it feels durable enough. The buttons have a nice feedback. I love the yellow and black tones.It took a few minutes to work out how to save presets, but most of the operations are fairly straightforward.Comparing it to cc pocket, I found a few differences:1. The deep base boost is good, even though it's a subtle difference.2. Fm reception with the antenna was better, slightly more clearer. However, without the antenna, the cc pocket fm reception was better - this doesn't matter since one would mostly be using the wire antenna anyway.3. This thing simply doesn't stand straight. You need to keep it lying down or attach it to belt. Cc pocket stood straight on my desk just fine.4. Lots of button presses to get to different presets. Cc pocket nails this feature with its paged presets.5. No 1khz stepping for am. Only 9/10khz stepping - not an issue if you are not scanning for far off stations.6. Default 90 min turn off, unless you long press the power button. Cc pocket allows you to configure these things easily.7. Volume knob is nicer. I don't prefer the continuous knob of the new cc pocket.8. No alarm functionality - would have been nicer.Overall a great little pocket radio, it is slightly cheaper than cc pocket. If you want more features, go for cc pocket, if you want a simpler radio, which is good enough for most use cases and fm, go for this.

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

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.

Pros:Thanks God, this is not a chinese product, as the package showed and the finish showed, its made in USA or some developed country.There's no "made in ....." engraving or print.The reception is excellent and the size is a bit smallish, a pocket radio. In India the weather alert channel (WX) is useless and AM too is not very useful, till now I've not tuned any AM channels.Battery life is always visible and you won't be caught unawares. FM reception is exceptional, almost Hiss-less I should say, but, closer to other electronic items, e.g PC etc. it picks up some disturbances. The smaller cord - wire antenna is not useful, the head-phone cum antenna is what you will be forced to use. The best feature is the option for switching into Speaker or Head phone mode is very easy. Volume as compared with its size is really what beats all others, huge volume, actually I've been listening at 1/20th the max. volume which provides very clear sound.Volume control on top, as compared to the side, is very useful.Off indication (LCD) and On indicaton (tiny electric bulb) are very useful. Locking facility is not that frequently used.Pocket holder/hanger is useful.90 min. off timer is useful it save battery, but a botheration too, since, you have to put the set on again.About the seller:Product is as per photo shown in ad., delivery was a little late but acceptable, packaging was excellent, product was sent in the original package.This is one purchase on net, where I got exactly what was advertised.Cons:Pre-setting of channel into memory and changing those is a bit tricky, you would take a few days to muster.The buzz adjustment may not be very useful in FM channel, as I found not much difference in buzz with the switch on.Battery consumption is average, not very low.

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've had mine for a handful of months now. It is a great pocket radio. I work outside and keep it on all day. I basically listen to AM stations, but my few experiences with FM were fine. FM may sound a little better than AM.Keep in mind that it is a very small radio with a tiny speaker. The laws of physics say that a single, tiny speaker cannot reproduce the full audible spectrum or play real loudly w/o distorting (regardless of B---'s marketing hype). This speaker is mostly for voice, and plays loudly enough to overcome nearly all background noise (I'm including trains and big trucks here). I've never tried the earbuds.It goes weeks between battery changes. The battery indicator's been down to one bar for a week, but it hasn't died yet.It automatically turns off after 90 minutes. I'd rather it didn't but, on the other hand, it a quick, easy way to keep track of time.The weather bands are very handy. Working outdoors, it's nice to be able to check on those clouds that're rolling in.I've dropped it a couple of times. It's been rain splattered a few times. Cleaning chemicals have gotten on it. No problems yet.The only bummer is that I'm so completely satisfied with it that it won't be available when I DO need a replacement ;).joe29 May 2010 addition...I got caught in a thunder storm last week, and forgot the radio was in my shirt pocket. It got soaked and quit working. I opened the battery door, removed the batteries, blew the radio out with compressed air, and hung it in front of a 6" fan, in my work truck. 2-3 hours later it worked as good as new. I left it in front of a desk fan overnight. Great radio.June 2011...I got caught in a sudden thunderstorm again. Radio was in my shirt pocket, and quit working. I repeated the above battery, canned air, and fan routine. The radio was working again a couple of hours later, and works fine now. Again.08 Nov 2011...Guess what... Sudden rain, soaked radio, dead radio, battery removal, canned air, truck fan, working radio. Again. Wish I could add stars.14 May 2012...I broke it. Not the radio's fault, it worked flawlessly 'til I slammed it in a utility cabinet door today. Of course, when the door wouldn't latch I slammed it harder, rather than look first. I'm ordering another right now.12 May 2015...The second one is doing fine.07 May 2016Well, the second one broke. I don't know what happened but the speaker just plays quiet static now. This time I replaced it with C. Crane's CC pocket am/fm/wb radio. It came yesterday and, so far, I can say its controls are a little more user friendly. and the fm works without adding an antenna wire.
