• Reviews around background noise (2.94 of 5)

    Sangean K-200 Multi-Function Upright AM/FM Digital Radio (Pink)

    • Any added background noise (running water, dishes clanking, kids, etc)
    • Any whiff of bass whether music or my fave NPR talk shows, the sound is muffled and the distortion is so distracting that it’s merely now just a background noise provider in the kitchen
    • All my other stations come in clearly: KCRW, KJAZZ, and KROQ.AM ReceptionGood news: No background noise on 640, 570, 710, and 790
    • Finally, my Sangean WR-2 makes too much background noise on AM
    • Blue light triggers the "awake time" chemicals in our brains and amber light triggers the "sleepytime" ones; I found the K-200's blue glow to be difficult to fall asleep next to, so I had to either turn off the backlight entirely before going to sleep (which means I can't see what time it is if I wake up in the middle of the night) or put something over my eyes to keep the blue glow from keeping me awake
    • Mom was indeed very happy with this K-200
    • And, yes, it does have an antenna wire, so I can pick up the good rock n' roll stations, which are all far away from my town.
    • As much as I loved this radio sitting all nice n’ shiny white n’ slimline on my kitchen counter
