Sangean DT-200VX FM-Stereo/AM Audio Digital Tuning Personal Receiver
Don't miss a thing: catch your favorite news and talk radio on AM, high fidelity music on FM / Built-in speaker
The ultimate pocket radio, Sangean's popular DT200V is imminently compact but loaded with convenient features, from its 19 station presets to its drift-free, PLL synthesized tuning, auto station scanning, TV sound reception, and handy belt clip. Listen through the built-in speaker or the supplied ear bud headphones. Forgot to turn it off? No worries: it shuts itself off after 90 minutes to conserve batteries (its sole source of power). The radio's high-impact ABS case virtually guarantees long life. Batteries should last 30 to 40 hours at moderate volume through the unit's single speaker and slightly longer on the included ear bud headphones. Pocket use was taken into account even at the level of ear bud manufacture: if you put your radio in your pocket, it's less distance to one ear than to the other, so one side of the headphone cord is accordingly shorter. The DT200V runs on 2 AA batteries, not included. What's in the Box
Radio, ear bud headphones, belt clip, trailing antenna, and a user's manual.

Sangean DT-200VX FM-Stereo/AM Audio Digital Tuning Personal Receiver Reviews
I have read tons of reviews on this radio and others similar to it. And this is by far the best radio for the price. I just got it recently, and i love it! The reception is great, its small and easy to carry in your pocket. It can pick up even weak stations with the external antenna. (Headphone Jack). The sound quality is almost as good as an mp3 player. I have an ipod and the quality is very close to it. The optional Bass booster(DBB) helps a lot with the qualtiy. So if your looking for a small, great sounding radio, this is the one for you!
I have used this little guy for the past 3.5 years. Mostly I use it in one spot at work for a few hours a day. Good reception. I have dropped it several times on the concrete floor, I keep the battery door on with a rubber band. Very tough little radio. Use rechargeable batteries!!!
I currently own the Sony SRF-T615 which, in my opinion,is superior mostly due to it's size. However, I purchased the Sangean because of many good reviews and I'm not disappointed. The Sony T615 can only be purchased in Japan or via websites that sell Japanese mainland products. It's about as portable as a credit card and co$tly!!!
I've read a number of reviews and I'd like to dispel a few comments.
Some folks have claimed that you can only go through the presets unidirectional. That's not true. There are up and down arrows on the front of this unit. To me, having presets is huge as I prefer to surf my favorite radio stations when commercials are run. You may think that the lack of preset buttons is inconvenient, however, I have radio controls on the steering wheel of my car and I can surf up or down. I never found this annoying. Perhaps if you actually used 19 presets then it could become painful.
Another person complained that it was difficult, at first, to program presets. If you try to deduce how to program this from trial and error he's probably correct. However, the directions are clear and if followed become intuitive. You won't have to refer back to the manual again once you learn it.
Someone else complained that the speaker was tinny. Hey, it's a pocket radio! I think the sound is decent for its size. You can easily listen to radio via the speaker. The Sony SRF-T615 has a speaker and in comparison it sounds like tin foil crinkling. The
The sound quality, the reception, the cost, the back-lighting are the best. Having owned the Sony for 3 years I'm kinda curious why Sangean can't make a smaller, thinner unit with the same great reception and sound. It takes AA batteries so that can account for it's depth. Having owned the Sony I can't really consider this a "pocket" radio. The DT-200X is over an inch thick.
Here's a website you can visit to see the Sony to which I'm comparing: audcubes2 dot com. Yes, the Sony is friggin' expensive.
This Sangean radio has made me a big fan of the company. If I were to purchase a radio in the future I'd probably buy a Sangean.
I really like this radio. The tuner is sensitive and the sound is great. You can switch from earphones to speaker, which is a nice feature. Also, the locking function is cool, much like an Ipod's. I particularly like the timer, which turns the radio off after 90 minutes. This is a good feature for anyone, like me, who falls asleep while listening in bed. It saves the batteries.
I would recommend this radio to anyone looking for high quality at a reasonable price.
Extremely sensanive. Best memory ever with the ability to place 19 AM/FM station in any order. All AM or FM, if desired. Has lighted digital readout. At night able to tune in stations up 1500 miles away, almost as if they were local...
