## Description

Am/R/Bluetooth/USB table-top digital tuning receiver

Review: Quality radio, good sound, reception, and no issues so far! - Radio arrived in good condition, and was easy to open the box. I have had zero problems with it in the 24 hours I've owned it. Display has three brightness settings, and Setting 1 is great for the bedroom at night. Display will brighten to "max" for a few seconds if a button is pushed however, then return to current setting. Haven't used alarm yet, but apparently it "fades in" (music or buzzer) rather than blasting at full volume right off the bat. A good feature. Sleep function works just fine and I did test that out. Sound quality is just fine, and the treble and bass have adjustments in addition to the radio having a "loudness" setting (either on or off) which, when on, increased both the treble and bass. AM and FM (especially AM) reception are pretty darn good, and beat out a Sony ICF-38 portable radio I have sitting right next to it (though the Sony is not a bad radio either.) Sound quality is much better than the Sony though of course the Sony was never intended to be a "room filling" radio. I have not had the need to plug in the wire antenna that came with the radio, though if your FM reception is lacking it might help with that. Also has option to attach external antenna if purchased. Bluetooth works really well so far, and sound quality is as good as the radio. Plenty of volume while using Bluetooth. Other reviews have stated that the Bluetooth "cuts out" when they walk in between their source and the radio. I have not noticed this but have both iPhone and radio on same table so am not blocking the signal in any way. Radio seems solid, and looks real nice on my desk (I bought the black one.) Fingerprints show up easily, but it's easy enough to just touch the buttons most of the time rather than the body of the radio so it's easy to keep it "clean" looking. The owners manual states that the clock can be set "manually" or by using the broadcast of certain radio stations. Some reviewers have said the time "varies" quite a bit. I think that's because they didn't set the time manually and instead are relying on radio stations to tell the radio what time it is. For what it's worth I also set the time using the radio broadcasts and so far the radio is still right in sync with the time on my iPhone...and I've changed stations plenty of times in 24 hours and had the radio on and off several times. When the unit is off, the display is still lit (at your chosen setting) and will display the time and date. A nice feature, and easy-to-read from across the room if you have the brightness set on either 2 or 3. I have had no issues with the tuning or volume knobs making changes "slowly" as some other reviewers have noted. Seems to be very precise and incremental. This is a neat radio in my opinion, and a decent substitute (and smaller...a good thing) than the Bose Wave Radio that costs about twice as much. Clock Tip: I have read other reviews complaining that the clock loses/gains time constantly. I initially had that problem as well and called Sangean about it. They answered right away and gave me the following solution, which works! 1. With the power (radio) off, press and hold the menu/info button until it beeps. Then release. 2. Rotate the tuning knob until RDS-CT shows (if "Manual" is shows instead then don't press to change to RDS-CT). 3. Press and release the tuning knob. 4. Rotate the tuning knob until it says "Manual" 5. Press and release the tuning knob. 6. Rotate the tuning knob until it says "Time Set" and proceed to set the time as instructed in the manual. The Sangean guy said that the reason the time was not correct is that many of the radio stations broadcasting the RDS-Ct auto-time are broadcasting the incorrect time. Setting the time using the "Manual" setting as above will override this.
Review: My WR-22 is much better than my former Bose Wave Radio ! - If you're wondering how this radio compares to the Bose Wave Radio read on! Spoiler Alert: The Sangean WR-22WL is the clear winner in both sound and functionality and at roughly one-third the price! Last year I inherited a Bose Wave Radio. While it seemed well-built enough, there was something about its sound that very much irritated me. Even at low volume, I could not listen to the Bose for any length of time without experiencing a feeling of pressure around my ears and ultimately I would get a headache. Try as I might, I just couldn't get used to the Bose Wave Radio's sound. So I sold the Bose but decided it would be nice to have a good sounding table radio. After much research I decided to try one of the Sangean models and ultimately I ordered the WR-22WL. Based on many reviews, I had very high expectations for this model. I am pleased to say that this radio has met and/or exceeded even my highest expectations. My radio came superbly packed. Physical inspection showed no defects whatsoever and its operation has been flawless. I don't often use the word "craftsmanship" anymore but this is one well-crafted radio! I love its mirror black front finish. All the knobs, buttons, jacks, etc. fit snugly and work smoothly. The display is top notch! It features large white letters/numbers against a black background and the clock can easily be read across a large room and at most any angle. The FM RDS (Radio Data System) functionality not only shows you the station ID, song name, and artist, but it can set your clock's day/month/year settings too! Unlike some other reviewers, I've found that the automatic time setting feature (thru RDS) works flawlessly. It is every bit as accurate as the clock on my cell phone. I guess the radio stations in my area do a better job of ensuring the correct time is set on their broadcasts. My main reason for purchasing this radio was to have a great sounding unit and this radio delivers superb audio in spades! It has a very well balanced low end, mid-range, and upper end sparkle that sounds just right to me. I find the default settings (loudness on, base and treble both at +0) to be just right. But if you don't like the defaults, you can easily turn off the loudness compensation and/or make considerable adjustments to the bass and treble levels to suit your own tastes. The Bose Wave Radio, on the other hand, has absolutely no ability for you to alter its sound. Also, I can listen to my Sangean for hours on end and not experience the "listener fatigue" that I always experienced with the Bose Wave Radio. One feature I've really come to love with the Sangean, is Bluetooth. I have an iPad Air and can effortlessly stream any audio from it to my WR-22. I find the Bluetooth audio on this radio to be excellent and the convenience of Bluetooth has to be experienced to be appreciated. In fact, the majority of my listening on the WR-22 is now via Bluetooth from my iPad Air. Whether I'm listening to my own library of music, streaming Pandora, or whatever, the audio is excellent. With the Bose Wave Radio, there is no Bluetooth support. Some of you might be saying, well the Bose has two (stereo) speakers! True. But in my experience, unless you are directly in front the Bose Wave Radio and at distance of 4 feet or less, you are not going to hear the stereo separation. The WR-22 with its single 3 inch speaker can fill my entire house with beautiful music if I (choose to) turn it up loud enough. The WR-22 also can play MP3 and WAV files from a USB stick. I've not yet tried this feature but again this is a capability you won't find on a Bose Wave Radio. I have used the WR-22's auxiliary input and have tested the subwoofer and headphone outputs. All are excellent. (The Bose Wave Radio also offers a good selection of inputs/outputs for wired connections.) Both the Bose Wave Radio and Sangean WR-22 have excellent FM tuners and good (though not exceptional) AM tuners. I do find the quality of the WR-22's AM reception to vary greatly depending on where it is placed in my home and how it is orientated. Serious AM listeners will want to try out the external AM antenna connections provided on the WR-22. (No such AM antenna extension is available on the Bose.) Internal FM antennas and external FM antenna connections are both offered on the Bose Wave Radio and the Sangean WR-22. However, for best results, you need to disable the internal FM antenna when using an external one. This can easily be done on the Sangean unit via a switch on the back panel. The Bose does not offer this capability. Both the Bose and Sangean radios offer dual alarm-clock capability. I won't be using my Sangean radio for an alarm clock so I've not yet tested that feature. But I'll update my review if/when I do try out the alarm(s). I found both the Sangean and Bose remotes to work equally well. The Sangean radio itself is more compact than the Bose mainly due to its single speaker versus two for the Bose Wave Radio. All in all I'm glad I sold the Bose and bought the Sangean instead. I find the WR-22 to be much nicer to listen to, more convenient to use, and its available at a much lower cost than a Bose.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will it charge my phone with the USB port?**
A: Yes.  I stream audio through the phone to the radio via bluetooth and charge it at the same time.  See other answer.  The radio must be in certain play modes to charge.  Pretty handy.

**Q: Does this radio require an additional purchase to act as a Bluetooth receiver? If so, how much does it cost? The expanded description suggests this.**
A: It is equipped to receive Bluetooth right out of the box. Also, I must say that it does an excellent job of doing so! I stream directly from my tablet to the radio using Bluetooth nightly and it’s just awesome!

**Q: Is this a clock radio?**
A: Yes it is a radio with a digital clock on the front so yes it is a clock radio.  The digital clock by the way receives a signal that keeps it perfectly on time with the bureau of standards clock so it’s always accurate.

**Q: Does it have a snooze function and is it easy to activate?**
A: I never really use snooze but I'm including the info I got from the manual. Hope it helps! Snooze1. When the alarm sounds, press any button other than the Standby button will silence the alarm for 5 minutes. "SNOOZE' will appear on the display.2. To adjust the silence time for the snooze timer, press and hold the Info/menu button to enter the menu setting.3. Rotate the Tuning control rotary until "SNOOZE X" shown on the display, then press the Tuning control rotary to enter the setting. Rotate the Tuning control rotary to adjust the silence time. There are 5,0,5 and 20 minutes for the snooze timer.4. To cancel the snooze timer while the alarm is suspended, press the Standby button.
