Sangean H205TQ Portable AM/FM/Weather Alert Digital Tuning Waterproof Shower Radio, Turquoise

I purchased this shower radio over a year ago (February of 2023, and it is now March of 2024). I use it daily, as does my wife. The batteries last a long time, needing changed rarely. The unit has dropped from a height of about 4 feet several times and still works like new. It picks up FM stations somewhat far with clarity, as well as multiple weather stations. It does not produce symphonic sound, but that is not why I purchased it. The sound quality is not bad, and I am pleased with the purchase. I would buy the product again if need be, or perhaps I will for my kids' bathroom at some point.

Just like other Sangean radios, this Sangean waterproof shower radio was no disappointment. The design of this radio is great. The reception is better than some of my other portable radios. The large speaker provides a rich, clear sound. The use of 2 D-cells provides both substantial volume and long battery life. The layout of the controls and use of the controls all makes good sense. The setup instructions were clear and easy to follow.A sleep timer will play the radio for up to 60 minutes before auto shutoff. A nap timer can be set for up to 120 minutes. When that time expires, a tone will gently wake you. The tone starts at a low volume level and gradually increases until you press a button (or 3 minutes have expired, whichever comes first).Because this was designed as a shower radio, the FM antenna is a wire that hangs out of the bottom of the radio (but can be stored in a storage compartment). Since this radio is waterproof, I intend to use it outdoors like on picnics where I might encounter rain showers.I didn't realize exactly how large it was until I opened the box. Please see the photo which shows it next to a Sony portable radio powered by a 9-volt battery.

The media could not be loaded. A quality well made radio, with very good reception. I am really surprised how well made and how well it works. The weather feature is just fantastic! Batteries last a long, long time… great reception and speaker is very loud! Would definitely purchase this radio again… might get another one just to have!

My old shower radio stopped working after many years and suddenly- I did some research and purchased this one to replace it. It is next to impossible for me to shower without singing and I don’t do well singing music accompaniment. (I can remember the words to songs when I hear them but not so much when I don’t) This radio was bigger than I expected- I had looked at the pictures with the reviews but didn’t pay enough attention to the actual measurements. This was fine as I had the space but still surprising. I popped in 2 D batteries and tuned in my stations- the sound was very good! This radio has a great sound and can pick up stations that my old one couldn’t. It was very easy to set up- the clock and preset options were a breeze.After a week of not having music in the shower it has been great to have this radio in there now!

I have bought many things over the year that I probably didn't really need or use. I have to say I absolutely love this thing, and might be a second for my other bathroom. It's my first Sangean radio, and have to say i'm impressed with this brand. Some comments:Pros:1. Really solid build quality. This device is larger than I expected and quite heavy. Plastic housing is thick and seems to be of high quality.2. Excellent sound quality - very full, clear and well-rounded for a single, moderately sized speaker. Not tinny at all. I have my volume on "20" while I'm taking a shower, and it's plenty loud.3. Uses the large "D" cell batteries (2), which at first seems a but off-putting, but they seem to last a long time.4. Buttons are of perfect size and tactile feel; easy to operate.5. Display is clear and shows the clock (when off) and battery life remaining.6. Extendable wire antenna - I live in a city and find it gets my stations clearly without having to extend it, but your experience may differ.7. It looks nice. Has rubber feet so it can sit with no problem on your sink or tub, or you can hang it in your shower with the included strap.Cons:1. The WX Alert button's operation is awkward. It's easily pressed by accident, and to get back to the station you were listening to, you have to press it a second time, press the power button to turn the radio back on, and press the Band button to cycle back to where your preset is. The WX Button and Power button are the same size and both on the front of the radio.2. Rechargeable batteries would be nice - but minor gripe.3. Don't like having to pay extra for an AC to DC power brick.

A little pricey but totally worth the money. I have bought several $20.00 dollar shower radios over the years. They were all hard to tune and sounded like crap. I then went the bluetooth shower speaker route, that was a pain setting it up every shower. I finally broke down spent the $ and I LOVE this radio. Easy to set up, VERY easy to tune, got to finally use some of the "D" batteries I have had for years, it has a built in clock, AND it sounds GREAT!! Excellent speaker. I highly recommend this Radio.

Excelente Calidad en sus acabados, se siente fuertemente armado, al tacto se percibe una excelente calidad en el material con el que fue construido, es cierto que es más grande que el promedio de un radio AM/FM, pero es un detalle que no tomó en cuenta por la excelente recepción tanto en AM como en FM, lo compare con radios del nivel de ETON, si no los mejora, puedo asegurar que son iguales en recepción, fantástico equipo, y para finalizar cuenta con un Display de muy buen tamaño, ideal para ver a la perfección o la estación o la hora, el reloj resulta muy preciso, lo cual me sorprende al no ser la característica principal del producto, me gustó mucho el temporizador para apagar el radio como para tomar tiempo a cualquier actividad, bien escuchando el radio o cocinando, y por si todo lo anterior fuera poco tiene una función de alarma para funcionar encendiendo en una determinada estación o con un beep, un audio Excepcional, en resumen un Excelente equipo no solo para el baño, para el taller, la cocina, el dormitorio, con una duración Mounstruosa de la batería, estoy pensando adquirir otro para mi cocina

This is not a compact radio! Much bigger and heavier than expected. It has good reception and excellent sound. Worth noting the weather alert feature will not work in Australia. Would prefer a non woven strap as it may end up going mouldy in the damp of the shower, but will have to wait and find out

Received the radio, and managed to set it up quickly with not much issues.The product feels bigger than the picture, but feels sturdy as well. The sound quality is great, and goes well with the bathroom's acoustics.Uses the BIG Type D batteries. =)

Un poco pesado y grande pero hasta ahora ha resultado excelente radio para la regadera, lo tengo en un nicho en la pared y solo sufre salpicaduras; las frecuencias de emergencias no funcionan en Mexico, estas son utiles en USA
