Amazon.com Product Description
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

 Good Radio August 28, 2008
Good Sound, needs more station presets. While I agree with most reviews that this radio has good sound, I'm just not sure its a $140 good.
 Great clock radio. Almost gave it a 5 star rating. August 16, 2008
Everything about this clock radio is great except the brightness control. The LCD that displays the clock and radio stations is way too bright. I can not go to sleep with a light blasting in my face. I'm going to try to buy something that goes over the display and dims the light. Even if I can't dim the brightness enough, I will still keep the radio. For the money I don't think there is a clock radio out there that is as good as this one.
By the way, don't buy the Boston Acoustics Horizon Solo or it's predecesor. The functionality of the clock radio is insane. When I used the SLEEP feature with an AM station that works when SLEEP is off, I get a loud humming sound that drowns out the commentator.
 The best of the many I have tried. July 5, 2008
I love listening to NPR in my Kitchen and have been searching for a radio that will pull in the two NPR stations that are available to me here in Charleston.
My first try was the Tivoli Model 1 from Henry Kloss. It was very attractive and worked fairly well for a short period of time. One day (after the warranty ran out) it just stopped and it still is dead. Piece of junk.....
Anyway, I digress. I have had this WR-2 now for 3 months and let me tell you, it is flawless. Great sound (better than the Tivoli), allows me to play my Ipod and it pull all of the available stations in if I use the auxiliary antenna. All in all, a great radio for a killer price. I cannot rate this as a clock radio but I don't think that this is it's primary purpose. Love this radio!
Fantastic Radio June 11, 2008
I did a lot of research, both online and in stores. This little baby by far has the best sound, and a really good AM tuner. I love it. Bought a white one. Then I bought another as an xmas gift for my sister. Then I bought a black one for my bedside. Obviously, I love this radio. You will, too.
 Not for the nightstand May 31, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is a decent radio, but it doesn't belong on the night stand for 2 reasons:
1. The display is back lit instead of just illuminating the lettering. That means there's a lot more light coming from this unit than is necessary. I have to turn off the display entirely at night and can't read the time if I wake up in the middle of the night.
2. There is only 1 alarm setting and it takes a 3 key strokes of little buttons all next to each other to turn off the alarm. So, if you wake up early and want to turn off the alarm to spare your significant other, you have to fumble in the dark with a cryptic interface.
It's too bad they didn't do enough user interface studies because the unit has a good radio and a nice look and feel. I'll keep it but move it to another room.
