Review: I do like it. I used to listen news and music.
Review: This is a great little personal radio with stable reception and 10 FM presets. It replaced an old analog Sony that I used when I walked and lost (Of course, I found it after I ordered this one) But this has presets and two features (other than it's digital and has presets) that I really like. You can lock the buttons so that they can't be accidentally changed by hitting something in your pocket and it defaults to turning itself off after 90 minutes, which can be over-ridden by holding the power on button for a few extra seconds when turning it on. I would recommend it whole heartedly. I really like this radio. ***UPDATE**** April 10, 2016 I have really enjoyed this radio for all the reasons the reviewers have noted: easy to use; digital; 15 presets; button locking. etc. Up to now. I usually take this on my walks and went to use it today, and it was dead. I thought it was odd, since I had just replaced the batteries a few days ago after my last walk. I replaced the batteries and tried again, and again, it was dead. I looked in the manual and found a means to reset it. That didn't work either. This thing is just dead. I can assure you, that it was not abused. It hasn't moved from my desk since my last walk, when it worked fine. So I went online to see what the warranty is on this and it's 90 days. However, not only do you have to ship it back to them in California at your expense, but there's an $8 fee fpr them to fix or replace it under warranty. It was $32 on desertcart. Not a great buy if you have to add another $12+. I am very disappointed as I really liked this radio. It's the weekend, so I will call on Monday and see what they have to say for themselves. I'm hoping they have good customer support, as it's just under 90 days from when I got this on Jan. 21, 2016. ***UPDATE*** April 13 I called them and the tech I spoke to said to leave the batteries out for a day to see it would re-set itselt. It turns out, it was a much simpler fix than that. I use rechargeable batteries. It turns out, one of them was bad. It had nothing to do with the radio; it works just fine, as it always has. I thought I had put in a different set of batteries, but I didn't, so this is my fault. I would definitely recommentd this and their tech support was very helpful in tracking down the problem.

A: Yess it can be worn in a arm band. You have shop for what kind.

**Q: does it have internal speaker**
A: No. It only has internal speakers that work only with ear buds. However I have the DT 400w that haslots of additional features, but it is a little bigger and a little more expensive. It has internal and external speakers and features and has great quality sound for a little radio. I love both the DT 180 and DT 400WGood Luck

**Q: There is a picture of the Sangean DT-180 [I] and a picture of the Sangean DT-180 [II] in this ad. Which one are you selling?**
A: As a previous purchaser of Sangean DT-180 Amazon asked me to respond to question. The Pic shown and the model I purchased was the DT-18(II). The (I) model will have "FM STEREO" in white letters below the four buttons on the front; the (II) series is plain black. The difference between the (I) and (II) is the features....(II) has a clock, direct recall for station presets, adjustable tuning for distant stations. Earphones that are part of the pack are cheap so plan on buying another set, but the radio is working great.
