Pros & Cons of Sangean PR D7
What People Say of Sangean PR D7
Overall, this portable speaker received glowing reviews. First and foremost it is recommended for its reception quality and sound clarity. Depending on the area and reception, customers who used this for both AM and FM stations provided glowing reviews. The Sangean PR D7 is great for talk radio stations and the built-in antennae truly makes a difference in quality. Additionally it is one of the easiest to transport which further adds to the versatility of this speaker.
Not unlike most great products, there were reviews that offered potential buyers cautions. A number of reviews cautioned that the charging ability of the radio was pretty weak and over an average period of a year (give or take) the batteries would not recharge, or the speaker would only take batteries and the AC cable would die. Additionally, customers noted the fact that this speaker doesn’t come with a handle which was for many one of the few reasons they did not provide a 5-star review.
Conclusion
While the Sangean PR D7 may have a few quirks to accommodate it is a great, sturdy speaker overall. The sound quality and general lightness of this model make up for the lack of a handle and also compensate for a smaller LCD digital display screen. In the end, this is a radio first and alarm clock second and it works quite well for what its intended use. If you have any input on this model your feedback is welcome – both for current Sangean PR D7 speaker owners and future buyers.
