    Product Description

    Digital AM/FM Table Top Receiver designed to provide exceptional audio reproduction utilizing a special acoustically balanced enclosure combined with a enhanced frequency response speaker and Sangean's advanced audio circuitry providing the sound and features of a large home stereo system.

    Amazon.com

    Boasting an acoustically balanced wooden enclosure and an enhanced front-firing 3-inch speaker, the Sangean WR-2 tabletop radio offers the sound and features of a living room system in a cabinet that fits conveniently in a bedroom, kitchen, or garage. Any discussion of the WR-2 begins with its black wooden housing, which is rich in both appearance and tone. The cabinet's front surface features the speaker on the left side, a series of intuitively placed control buttons toward the bottom, and a generously sized LCD display in the middle with three brightness levels. More importantly, the cabinet teams with the 7-watt amplifier and the acoustic bass compensation system to add warmth and depth to the audio. Complementing the housing is Sangean's advanced RF/IF electronic circuitry, which picks up distant AM and FM stations and reproduces them with unmatched clarity, making music and even talk programs come alive.

    Even though the WR-2 is advertised as an AM/FM radio, it offers much more than a standard digital tuner, including a Radio Data System (RDS) that displays short text messages on applicable FM stations, along with support for the Enhanced Other Network (EON) and its traffic information (available in certain regions). And unlike most tabletop radios, the WR-2 lets listeners adjust the treble and bass levels via the variable volume control. In its default mode, the rotary volume knob displays the volume level from 1 to 60. Tap it once, however, and it turns into a full-range treble control, and two taps creates a full-range bass control. Additional features include a clock with an alarm (radio or buzzer), an auxiliary input jack for connecting such devices as an iPod or MP3 player (both of which sound great through the speaker), a recording output jack, 10 memory presets that help you quickly find your favorite stations, and a full-featured infrared remote control.

    A final bonus stems from the power backup function, which plays the radio for six minutes during a power failure (great for emergencies) and retains the memory preset and clock values for about an hour. The WR-2 measures roughly 9.5 by 4.5 by 6 inches (W x H x D) and weighs 5.5 pounds.

    What's in the Box
    WR-2 tabletop radio, detachable power cord, infrared remote control, user's manual.

    The box shows the image of a Walnut radio but a label is marked on the box which shows the color of the radio.

    Customers are satisfied with the appearance of the radio. They mention it's a beautiful minimalist-styled retro analog radio, with a piano black gloss finish and a deep gray face. The remote is very nice and very useful. The radio has a cool blue-ish display with scrolling RDS info that creates enough contrast so you can see the time at night without using too much light. The finish on the radio is top notch, and it shines best as a table radio.

    "...Bottom line, if you want good radio that is well designed, looks good, and doesn't take up a lot of space this is a great choice...." Read more

    Customers like the performance of the radio. They say it works well, the tuner works well on both AM and FM, and the remote is simple to operate. The internal antenna works fine, and it can crank out base amazingly well for its size. The alarm works great, and RDS functionality works like a charm. Overall, customers find it very usable and has clear sound.

    "...This radio is best as an FM radio and works adequately as an alarm clock...." Read more

    "...The internal worked well, but I like to listen to an LP radio station in my metro market and the external brings it in beautifully...." Read more

    "...The front controls are nice. Many radios don't feature knobs and buttons like this one...." Read more

    "...Given that it comes with a remote control, it can be placed somewhat out of reach and still be operated from the convenience of a chair across the..." Read more

    "...The second issue is the remote control. I feel that it offers decent control of the radio, but it is so thin and flimsy I'm afraid I'll break it..." Read more

    324 customers mention202 positive122 negative

    Customers are mixed about the ease of use of the radio. Some mention that the alarm setting is reasonably straight forward, easy to operate, and program. They say the manual is easy to understand, although it has a number of broken English. However, others say that setting the alarm is needlessly complicated, and the instructions are a little more complex than they would have liked. They also say that there is no easy way to set or disable the alarm.

    "...Unlike my car, it can read RDS information and set the internal clock. YES!!!! Serendipity! No more setting the clock...." Read more

    "I rated this radio at five stars in spite of problems with its user manual and the somewhat cumbersome procedure for enabling and disabling the alarm..." Read more

    112 customers mention52 positive60 negative

    Customers are mixed about the readability of the radio. Some mention that it brings in more stations more clearly, has a well lit and large display, and easy to see and press buttons. However, others say that it is very bright and difficult to read, the user manual is very badly written, and the text is large and blocky.

    "...of confusion concerning this feature is the user manual; it is very badly written...." Read more

    "...Well lit and large, easy to read display...." Read more

    "...The touted RDS is more hype than function, since the display only contains 8 letters, it had to scroll for anything lengthier...." Read more

    119 customers mention28 positive91 negative

    Customers are dissatisfied with the reception of the radio. They mention that it provides interference and limits reception. Some say that the buttons for on/off and selecting stations are dysfunctional. They also say that it doesn't pick up the station and that it would suddenly just stop.

    "...AM reception is not stellar, and the audio level on the AM broadcast band is several times lower than that of the FM band...." Read more

    "...course, with the radio switched to 'external antenna', I pretty much LOST my AM reception (which was okay with the internal AM antenna), but I did..." Read more

    "...Tivoli Cons: The AM reception is horrible, lots of hissing static...." Read more

    "...The radio works great - pulls in all the AM and FM stations we need..." Read more

    Loud bass is fixable.
    5 Stars
    Loud bass is fixable.
    As much as I love bass, always have, as commented on by several reviews I’ve read, the bass was too much for me. That never happened before. Fortunately, the radio has treble and bass controls. You can go from -5 (or -4) on both treble and bass and go up to something like 10. I had to go down to the lowest minus numbers, and still, it irritated my ear drums. However, I read on this site or on another Sangean W2 review site that you can place tape on the hole on the back to help with the bass. The review said it would not damage the radio. So, I took the writer’s word and put some packing tape over the hole. Now I am very happy. It sounds as good as my old Panosonic radio which was build in with my record player. That sound quality was the best I remember on any radio. I originally bought a more expensive brand from Amazon but was very disappointed. The treble just sounded like so much static. I’m very sound sensitive. It was torture to listen to. Also, I was worried when my radio came very hot from the outside heat’s effect on the atmosphere in the carrier vehicle. The box was hot…the radio was hot. Since I had just returned another, I decided to hope for the best. That was a good call. My radio came in the wrong box. I ordered white wood (That’s what it said when I bought it.), but the box was for the brown wood one. The radio is more of a nice plastic. Initially, I was disappointed, but after seeing how slick and sophisticated it looked out of the box, I have grown to completely love the look. When I think I can afford another, I’m getting one just like this for master bedroom. I have searched for several years for a plug in radio with stations that stick and don’t need Blue Tooth. For a while I was disappointed. Now I am so happy and grateful that manufactures have made it easy to listen to radios again. This one also presets stations…more than I expected. I can listen to beautiful Christmas music on my Christian stations this holiday. That’s the number one reason I got this radio. The sound is really, really good. Just don’t forget the tape trick.
