Selected User Reviews For Sony ICF-S80 Splash Proof Shower Radio with Speaker
The use of. I have updated my review as follows There is little doubt that this is the most perfect shower radio available, even though it is a bit expensive. As a result of some confusion regarding Sony's Euro-style packaging, one star has been taken off The centric marketing approach In my opinion, this is very odd due to the fact that I think the U. S. There is a bigger market for this product in the US than in the entire Eurozone (I may be Due to the default tuning of the radio, it cannot tune to United States radio frequencies out of the box, as it is set to Eurozone frequencies. Listening to a radio station on AM or FM Considering this is just a shower radio, one would expect to be able to take it out of the box, put some batteries in, and use it right away. However, there is a tiniest hole in the wall In this instruction sheet, it shows how to reset the radio so that it can be used in America. The truth is I did not realize this for the first two days It took 3 days for the seller of this product to email me the instructions for installing it. Obviously, I didn't read the instructions, so feel free to critique me all you want You're talking about a radio, for goodness sake. The newer version of the same radio is an upgrade over the old one It was better to have a heavier duty antenna in order to receive better reception.
One of these has been in my possession for years and I Buying one for my wife was a recent project for me. I ordered it through Amazon, but it came from a company In the same way as I do for my radio, I programed in desired frequency information when it arrived. The FM frequencies where I wanted to pick from worked, but the AM frequencies were not available. Radios are supposed to be able to be set to either set a frequency spacing of 9 kHz (used in Europe and Asia) or a frequency spacing of 10 kHz I was unable to select your 10 kHz spacing on the radio that I received from them. Due to 9 kHz spacing, it's impossible to tune in the vast majority of US AM broadcasts. The following example illustrates what I mean Including US bands from 710 through 720 and then 730 and European and Asian bands from 702 through 711, 720 and In general, I wasn't able to find a solution from the supplier. Looking for new sources is still on my list.
Besides that, I have no issues with it. I had the other classic Sony model for over 10 years, but Compared to the old one, the new one had a richer My opinion is that the one below is better. The part that bothers me most is the fact that the instructions state North American model comes with 10 FM presets. There are only five presets in the program if you are in North America. In the old model, the number of buttons was My eyes are irritated by this. Aside from that, it works as expected.
It's a great radio station. As a replacement for the radio I had for 20 years, I bought this one directly from Sony. Having Sony's shower radio in the shower is great. It is possible to set up the AM tuning frequency range in the box, but beware that you may need to read the 1 page document that comes with the box. Unless you do, you will be tuned out of all bands at the time you want.
It is rare to be able to find the predecessor model, the Sony ICF-70, in good condition This is the S79W model (weather and non-weather). I find the new design to be shorter, bulkier, and less easy to pick up and move, especially if it is damp from a shower mist. It is boxier and more square, and does not fit well in the hand One of the biggest complaints is the sound quality, the speaker is really small. The difference between the two models is VERY noticeable when we played them side by side. It all depends Each and every. An example of a redesign gone wrong, and an example of a redesign undertaken without any apparent purpose. I am sure we can find cheaper alternatives somewhere else near the airport next time for $80.
It is the second one of these radios I've bought in the last week, but neither was intended for the North American market. Look at them, and it is clear that they are not suited for Their only radio station is AM/FM and There is no way to change them to an interval of 10 kHz, as suggested by the instructions. Amazon is selling these to their customers in the US, but why? It is urgent that this problem be resolved so that the NA model can be stocked. A radio that looks appealing to me is the one I am interested in purchasing. It is a pleasure to work with.
If you would like a radio in the shower, simply turn it on. You're the best! Having a radio in the shower that works simply and does the job without fuss is very important to me. Good reception, easy to adjust controls even when I'm wet and without glasses I have tried other so-called simple methods to accomplish these tasks, but they are not as effective as they should be Wireless shower radios that didn't get any of these things right were called Wireless Shower Radios. I also like how it's just the right size to hang off my grab bar in the shower. This is a book that is strongly.
It is a nice product, but we already had the previous model and the sound was not nearly as good. Compared to the first, this one doesn't have as good a quality. The Sony Model ICFS79W is model A price increase of almost double has been made on that model. It has a tinny sound compared to the last one, and this one doesn't have a weather effect Additionally, he is in a band. In spite of this, the construction quality is excellent and it is indeed splash-proof It is true. The Sangean H201A or H202A are both excellent speakers, but the Sangean one is much larger and more difficult to place in the shower. The Sony one is much simpler to place - it fits on the shower's rail and is very easy to use. It can be a curtain rod or a curtain head.
