It is a bit bassy on the AM band and a hi/low tone switch would have been nice but it's really a non-issue, I just wanted to mention this. I live about 50 miles from the closest FM stations and this radio pulls them in....with the antenna down! Audio sounds full range and nice on FM."
"I'm 70 yrs young and I spend my days gardening in my big yard April to October. I wanted a SIMPLE radio that could run on AA rechargeable batteries so I could always have a spare set charged. I wanted a large dial display, with a large tuning knob (NOT tiny buttons that take forever to tune and hurt my fingers) and a volume wheel (instead of those nasty little buttons). I called Panasonic to ask a question and they have not made this radio since 2001 but told me there's no reason why Amazon's stock would not be good. When I googled battery-operated portable radio, all the links were for boom boxes with CD players, Smart Phone chargers, Bluetooth and other things I don't need. If the battery ran out of juice, you'd have to plug it into a wall outlet and wait hours for it to recharge. I paid $110 + tax for a portable Sangean radio with both solar and internal rechargeable battery."
"This radio brings in weak stations much better..."
"Has a little notch in the carrying handle, if you want to hang the radio from a nail or something on the wall. Bought a second radio for my 91 year old mother, who is challenged with anything resembling a digital read-out."
"I cannot say enough wonderful things about this radio, the sound quality is great, the reception is better than I expected, the dial is large, it's simple and easy to use."
"The radio is nice and functions perfect."
"I bought this for my 72 year old mother in Kansas who wanted a radio that was not digital. UPDATE: My mother LOVES this radio so much she sleeps with it next to her in her bed."

I attended Symphony performances for years so I know what Real live music sounds like not the massive, artificially amplified pounding sound at an indoor or outdoor concert."
"I like to listen to music when getting ready for work and this player fits perfect on my bathroom counter."
"I'm so glad I bought this CD player, AM/FM Radio."
"I wanted a light-weight portable player to listen to audio book CDs."
"I was impressed by the sound quality given its size and weight."
"I did not or was not expecting it to sound like Bose..."
"What I really like about this stereo: The buttons ON top to raise the volume and to tune the radio dial - my Mom has dementia and she struggles with simple things like buttons that show a plus or minus for volume - she remembers what a dial means and so this little stereo is very easy for her to use."
"I bought this CD player even given the negative reviews, as I wasn't giving it to kids and it shouldn't break if I didn't do anything to it. I thought the radio station had stopped working, but it quickly became clear that it wasn't getting power. The Jensen representative told me it is only a 3 month full warranty. No longer worried about voiding a worthless warranty I took the CD player apart and figured out why it is so cheap in cost and construction. At least three locations use thin cardboard to hold the parts in place. I suggest you don't waste your time, desk space, or your money on this items."

The form on their website has a spot for the review text, the star rating given, and some instructions include the following lines of text: "The star rating of your review has no impact on your extended warranty." Any reviewer that meets all standards will receive an email notification with the Extended Warranty Confirmation.""
"This is the perfect alarm clock for me."
"This clock does exactly what I hoped it would. I don't use it as an alarm since my phone is right next to my bed; but my son was playing with it and accidentally set the alarm one night."
"My wife's clock worked flawlessly out of the box, but mine had a dimmer issue. Well, the HI can light up a room and the off is more of a negative display (turning the screen black and the numbers a dim white). The radio was only bringing in static and there was a slight "digital" bleeping sound in the background. Great clock if/when it works...but have two out of three fail in 4 days isn't a good first impression. Congrats to the several thousand people who had 5-Star success...but I'm in the 2-3 star approval range for this product. The pics were taking with a crappy cell phone camera so I adjusted them to attempt to give a more accurate depiction, hopefully that helps SOMEONE, though my advice is to just buy something else entirely."

"However, despite other reviewers' comments, I did not find the receiver sensitivity (AM or FM) to be an improvement - and receiver sensitivity *is* important to the listening experience."
"The FM radio antenna is a 15" or so insulated wire, about 22 gauge. Outside in Central Florida and daily summer deluge rain storms? We found that the wire antenna works great for all the local FM radio stations ( about 25 miles out) as we rolled the wire around two fingers and left about 3 inches hanging, then used a plastic tie wrap to cinch it in the center close to where it comes out of the radio. The LED light on the side and weather radio is great for night time outside use."
"I would have preferred a rigid metal antenna instead of the wire ( 30" ) how ever you can adjust to the minimum length you need for you FM reception leave what you don't need in radio storage bin ."
"It hangs where the previous sangean (non Bluetooth version) had hung on the shower head for many years. Called customer service and the man told me to take and leave the batteries out of the unit for a day and then reinstall and try to power it up again. Customer service is apparently one man who is unfortunately coming in 2-1/2 hours late today so I still don't know what going to happen. UPDATE #1: After about a week of calling Jorge' who supposedly handles the warranty repairs pout of California., Ive been getting the run around."

"Not sure if the weather alert can sound that same alarm. The radio is nice to have in the shower and as an emergency battery powered radio."
"We bought it strictly for the shower, but we like to stream music and podcasts form our phones over bluetooth while we cook, so we found ourselves increasingly using this instead of our (also excellent) sangean pr-d5 (which dose not have bluetooth). We have since bought a sangean h201 (without bluetooth) for our bathroom, where we do not think we really need that feature, but still want a waterproof radio with clear sound."

I have really enjoyed setting up my playlists and listening to Deezer on my Bose music system. Unfortunately, you can not listen to your own Amazon Prime Playlists, but you have the options of listening to Amazon's pre-selected Prime Playlists and Amazon's Prime Stations. Also, just recently Amazon Music Services added "My Music" to their services, so now you can listen to your own Amazon Playlists and not just their pre-selected playlists. There is one thing that I wish Bose would add to their Music Systems and Speakers, and that is a setting to be able to listen to all track/songs at the same volume level. Even if you have a Spotify Premium subscription and listen to it on the Bose Music System, unfortunately that option does not carry over."
"There's so much this 'all-in-one' music system is capable of, which I feel at this price point is what's most important. >>> The ADVANTAGE of "Wave SoundTouch IV over previous Wave Music Systems is the addition. of the pedestal base which adds Wi-Fi capability. radio <> MP3 music on CD-R and CD-RW discs (as before). but now additionally accesses <> streaming music services <> internet radio <> personal music library. If you're a connoisseur of music you may notice Wave doesn't have the same level of layered separation (when close to it). as systems who's speakers are physically some distance apart. This unit reproduces a - full - rich - crisp - clear - and dramatically phenomenal sound which fills a room full of music =. rather than music sounding like it's coming from a source. Can be controlled by Smartphone - tablet - computer (isn't compatible with Chrome-book). Can add music services - radio stations - set/change presets - steam music - add personal music library (itunes, etc). Can - forward / back / pause / shuffle / repeat / volume / search - etc. The systems displays <> time & alarm status <> music source (CD - FM/AM - Aux) <> artist & song title <> etc. This is Bose most recent system = released Sept 10, 2015. In the box = Wave Sound Touch IV music system / power cord / USB cable / remote control / demonstration music CD / manual."
"After programming, you can pick up multiple internet sources without needing to turn on other devices."
"Product as described, sad to see the larger Bose Wave go away."
"I hope that a better version will come next year with a better handling of the WIFI."
"Got as a Christmas present from my husband."
"You really really have to want this product to suffer through the setup procedure!"
