Summary: Great
Review: I got this earlier this year and it's been a great convience. It's easy to bring anywhere and the reception is fab. The earbuds help when I don't want anyone to know I'm listening to the radio.

Summary: Almost perfectly designed
Review: I've had this product for over 8 months and would like to say that it has been the best little radio I've owned. However, like all portables, the headphone jack is starting to warp and the connection to the headphones is starting to lose coherence. For some strange reason, Sangean placed the power switch right next to the headphone jack so that every time you switch the radio on or off, you have to swivel the headphone jack out of the way. This incessant wear is the reason why the connection is starting to deteriorate. I wish Sangean (and other manufacturers) would address the inherent problems with the placement of headphone jacks because I have always encountered this problem. Otherwise, the AM reception is great and FM is good, no problems.

Summary: Poor reception
Review: Initially I liked the unit. Nice and small, good sound (with earbuds)and quality construction. However I found the reception very poor. I live in an isolated area so I can pick up only 4 local stations. The problem is some stations "bleed" all over the dial and interfer with reception of neighboring frequencies. I guess I need digital tuning.

Summary: Radio great, needs better buds
Review: Love the radio, but the earbuds are painful for my ears. I can only keep it in the left ear for an hour.

Summary: good portable radio
Review: My review got 4 stars because of the earbuds that are included with the radio. I was surprised that the Left and Right earbud wires are of different lengths. The left earbud is about a foot shorter in length than the right. Nothing was mendtioned about this. I suppose the reason is because they expect customers to place the radio in their left shirt pocket, closer to the left ear, so they have a shorter wire. There is no pants or belt clip, so if you plan to walk around with the radio you have to put it in one pocket or another. This can be a problem for tall people, 6"+, as the accompanying headphones have a pretty short wire. If you have other headphones you like, then it's no problem. The radio is good, I can pick up everything my larger SONY radio can. If the station is strong, the radio can hold it pretty well if you're moving around. The tiny built in speaker is as loud as you could want it to be in a room or car, for most people, even if it can't do stereo, it's decent for talk radio.

Summary: Best Tiny Radio Available
Review: The SR-1 is a great package combining good sensitivity and selectivity with good audio in a featherweight package. AM & FM reception are both quite good (although the ear buds are needed for FM since the wire serves as the antenna) with the ability to pick up AM stations several hundred miles away at night. The internal speaker sounds good considering the tiny size of this radio, but it's not room filling sound. The ear buds sound decent, but as other reviewers have stated there are better options available... but I'd only recommend it for music as news / sports sounds fine with the set provided. The only ergonomic problem with this radio is that it is hard to use some of the controls with the radio in its supplied pouch. Battery life is great and it only uses a single AAA cell. Overall I'd highly recommend this radio as a take anywhere means of staying in touch with what's going on or to listen during a commute. It has been recently discontinued by Sangean so act fast if you're interested and find one still in stock.
