Our take on the Sangean DT-180BK Type II AM/FM Pocket Receiver

The Sangean DT-180BK is a pocket-sized AM/FM radio with digital tuning, an LCD display and 15 direct-recall presets (5 AM, 10 FM). It runs on two AAA batteries and adds a clock, auto-seek, a lock switch and a 90-minute auto shutoff that stretches battery life. It suits walkers, commuters and anyone who wants a tiny backup radio without a phone or streaming. Against Bluetooth speakers and phone radio apps it wins on size, battery life and no-connection listening, but it has no speaker for room-filling sound and no weather band or Bluetooth.

  • ReceptionPraisedFM stereo and AM come in clearly for a set this small, especially with the earbuds plugged in.
  • ControlsCriticisedButtons are tiny and close together, and the lock switch is easy to forget.
  • BatteryPraisedTwo AAAs last a long time, helped by the 90-minute auto shutoff.

What batteries does it take?
Two AAA batteries, which are not included. The radio shuts off after 90 minutes to save power.
