Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The radio also allows you to select between am, fm momo, and fm stereo. Love the mono/stereo option. Mega bass adds extra oomph to help you enjoy songs which can benefit from it.

Reception is honestly quite good, though in certain parts it can definitely be spotty. Good for both am and fm stations although i mostly use it to listen to am talk radio. Inserted battery, powered on, and tuned in to my local npr station.

It's perfectly adequate at least on am, and perhaps better than most. I keep it in my glove compartment in the car year around. But to be fair, my cell phone has a fit in the loop and in the underground subway as well, so i'm not going to complain.

Cons

The srf-s84 has a very poor fm reception. The battery life of this radio is very short. It is very difficult to tune in to a clear fm signal. The earphone jack connection is very loose.

Music is dull and lifeless. It has a nonworking speaker. The music is really, really bland.

Quality

I am so pleased with the quality, sound, and ease of use.

The radio is easy to use and tune, reception is excellent and the size of the unit makes it’s very convenient for taking anywhere.

I used it when i hardened, did the dishes, walked.

A warning don't leave your radio on the carpet close to your heater.

Price

I just couldn't pay another $50 for it.

I do think the cost is a little too expensive.

For the money, you can't go wrong with this one.

Shipping

Arrived within a few datyes of purchase.

Competitiveness

I use with bose lightweight headphones rather than the cheaper ones in the box.

Certainly it's perfectly adequate at least on am, and perhaps better than most.
