Reviews around internet (4.84 of 5)

  • This is a great value for a portable Wifi Internet radio
  • For a very reasonable price, this is an incredibly fine Internet radio
  • Nice internet radio with FM only backup when power or internet is down
  • An Internet radio without the ability to get all the AM / FM radio stations I want over the internet kind of misses the entire point.
  • If you are looking for a "portable" internet radio you will not find many offerings.

Reviews around app (4.71 of 5)

  • Finding and setting my favorites was much easier using the android app than it was using the Frontier web page.
  • I love the Android App, so you can control everything in the radio from your mobile phone, if it is connected to the same Wifi network
  • I like the web site put all my favorites in about 100 stations and operate off the free app
  • The app is highly recommended to simplify browsing through the many stations and USB music
  • Just like the Mondo, the app is awful

Reviews around feature (4.64 of 5)

  • The opportunity to access FM and Spotify are nice features
  • Sorting of stations, directly from the unit is a nice feature.
  • This is another nice feature of this very well made radio.
  • One feature the other radios have is ability to set 5 different alarms, this one only has one alarm
  • Meanwhile, I needed something a bit more “portable” for our remotes when we're in “iffy” signal areas for FM without using a smartphone, and hoped to find a radio with good sound and nice features.

Reviews around wifi (4.49 of 5)

  • When you dont have a free wifi network in foreign country you can listen fm local radio
  • Sangean told me that you have to buy their more expensive WiFi radio to get that feature
  • This is a great value for a portable Wifi Internet radio
  • I would guess that most problems regarding this radio that are mentioned in the reviews are due to bad wifi signal because when reception is good, the radio absolutely streams with no interruption.
  • If you have a non-optimal WiFi set up, as I do, this is literally THE ONLY RADIO to get

Reviews around work (4.49 of 5)

  • Very well constructed radio and works very , very well
  • Would not recommend buying one just because of their poor warranty work.
  • Wonderful radio works very well here in Melbourne, Australia.
  • It appears to be well built (though the batteries are hard to put in), the FM works well, and operation is about as intuitive as internet radio gets
  • Very nice, works for anyone, including great-grandma, as long as it's tuned for 5 favorite stations

Reviews around reception (4.28 of 5)

  • I like its reception, audio is good for my purposes (a bedside nighttime radio) and menus are easy to work
  • so if your smartphone has good reception at a specific location, this radio will probably work
  • Good: sound quality for its size, build qualityBad: NO ALARM if not plugged in (not mentioned in manual), poor FM reception (compare to a Tecsun PL-380 and Sangean PDR-8)Around 40 seconds from cold boot to internet radio first sound, not sure if it's good or bad as this is my first wifi radio
  • I own a distillery and the building where we distill is cinderblock so it doesn't get any good radio reception for my guys that are working.
  • Unfortunately, the reception in the gym is hit and miss - aside from the thick walls, the reception is often subject to interference from the gym’s exercise equipment, especially on AM

Reviews around price (4.16 of 5)

  • Good sound but not of Bose quality of course but price cheap for this quality radio
  • With this radio you can find a lot of radio drama stations, music of all types you can't go wrong with this radio and the price is right
  • VERY useful for time away from a network or just to play what you want wherever you want.*Great looking*Great sound, not meek at all for it's size, loud and powerful*Great price: for what you get and how useful and cool this thing is, $120 price range
  • 3) compact (I love size and shape; fits anywhere; 4) easy to clean up; 4) portability and rechargeable batteries a plus; 5) nice and loud (my first two radios were incredibly weak on this score); 6) the price is reasonable
  • not really worth the price..

Reviews around product (4.07 of 5)

  • Domestic products NEVER had issues like I've experienced with China made products.
  • This is a excellent product very high quality, excellent sound and well thought out
  • I can now see why people who purchase this radio (according to Amazon) also order the rather costly D size rechargeable batteries
  • I am not disappointed in the slightest and would recommend it to anyone looking for a user-friendly quality product
  • I liked this radio, and thought it was a pretty good product, but ultimately returned it because I couldn't find a use for it

Reviews around quality (4.02 of 5)

  • Of course, sound quality will vary with individual streams: one feature of the radio is that it will display the bit-rate of streams; it is usually obvious that the lower bit-rate streams have poorer audio quality
  • Not so good: sound quality is iffy because of one mediocre speaker, its not bassy and does not have any highs
  • For me however, I had to return it based on the poor sound quality alone.
  • If you have used the free Pandora service you know what a pain that is with the time outs and poor quality audio streams
  • I'm looking for a tabletop Internet radio, and an FM, CD player combination with good sound quality

Reviews around station (3.82 of 5)

  • The user has to become accustomed to a "boot-up" period of 30-60 seconds when the radio is turned on and a connection time delay as stations are changed
  • She loves it so now she can listen to all her favorite stations.
  • Our favorite stations are weak and interference from LED lights made a WiFi radio a solution
  • Also connecting to Frontier Silicon Radio Portal and adding favorite stations is fantastic.
  • Some stations have buffering problems a lot, some just once in awhile and the radio does try to re-connect.
