Amazon.com Product Description
Boasting an acoustically balanced wooden enclosure and an enhanced front-firing 3-inch speaker, the Sangean WR-2 tabletop radio offers the sound and features of a living room system in a cabinet that fits conveniently in a bedroom, kitchen, or garage. Any discussion of the WR-2 begins with its walnut-finished wooden housing, which is rich in both appearance and tone. The cabinet's front surface features the speaker on the left side, a series of intuitively placed control buttons toward the bottom, and a generously sized LCD display in the middle with three brightness levels. More importantly, the cabinet teams with the 7-watt amplifier and the acoustic bass compensation system to add warmth and depth to the audio. Complementing the housing is Sangean's advanced RF/IF electronic circuitry, which picks up distant AM and FM stations and reproduces them with unmatched clarity, making music and even talk programs come alive.
Even though the WR-2 is advertised as an AM/FM radio, it offers much more than a standard digital tuner, including a Radio Data System (RDS) that displays short text messages on applicable FM stations, along with support for the Enhanced Other Network (EON) and its traffic information (available in certain regions). And unlike most tabletop radios, the WR-2 lets listeners adjust the treble and bass levels via the variable volume control. In its default mode, the rotary volume knob displays the volume level from 1 to 60. Tap it once, however, and it turns into a full-range treble control, and two taps creates a full-range bass control. Additional features include a clock with an alarm (radio or buzzer), an auxiliary input jack for connecting such devices as an iPod or MP3 player (both of which sound great through the speaker), a recording output jack, 10 memory presets that help you quickly find your favorite stations, and a full-featured infrared remote control.
A final bonus stems from the power backup function, which plays the radio for six minutes during a power failure (ideal for emergencies) and retains the memory preset and clock values for about an hour. The WR-2 measures roughly 9.5 by 4.5 by 6 inches (W x H x D) and weighs 5.5 pounds.

Customer Reviews:
I just bought my third Sangean WR-2.......2007-05-25
I bought one for my kitchen, then I got one for my parents, and today I just bought another one for me. I'm very happy with the radio sound, the features and the tuning sensitivity. The display is adjustable for both the on and off modes--an interesting and useful feature. It does take a bit of understanding to set the radio up and that could probably use a bit of improvement so I'd only give the ergonomics 4 stars. The first one I bought was the piano white, I got the walnut for may parents. Both are beautifully made--and heavy radios. Sound is excellent. I also own the Boston Receptor, Tivoli Songbook, Eton Sound 100. These are all good radios, but this one towers over the rest. It's also the least expensive which still surprises me.
Dispaly issues.......2007-05-17
Excellent sound, excellent receiver. But, I bought the unit for a bedroom where it would be used as a clock and occasional alarm in addition to a radio. From its position, across the room, the dispaly was either way to bright, or not bright enough to see the display. And the digits of the time dispaly are not bold enough to be seen at any distance easily. It was necessary to buy a $10. digital alarm clock for our time/alarm purposes. Summary: Great piece of gear, the dispaly may not meet everyone's needs.
Good--Because Most Radios are so Terrible.......2007-04-24
Too bad radios have gotten so poor. They make this radio seem better than it deserves
It is a "tabletop radio" and it works pretty well. Very decent mono sound comes out the speaker. It will tune major FM local stations. It is a fair price. I was hoping I would be able listen to any local FM station (various college stations, etc.), but I can't, the radio circuitry isn't good enough. If you want to tune your favorate big station, use the power button, volume control, maybe even turn up the volume high enough to hear in the next room, it will work great and is easy to use. If you want to listen to an FM station from out of town, this is not a good choice.
Note it has clock radio features, but be careful. For a clock radio, this unit has wonderful sound, however, the user interace is terrrible--it has two rows of uniform buttons that look cool but are poorly labeled and have obscure function. It is important that a clock radio, which one uses when half asleep, be easier to use.
The LCD panel has terrible contrast and turning up the brightness to make it easier to read will make your bedroom pretty bright and still not be very legible. We have a crappy clock radio sitting on top of the WR-2, we read the time (very easily) off the crappy radio.
Other reviewers have been enthusiastic with this model. I think that is because FM radios have gotten so terrible. We have a Sony shower radio, and the two big local NPR stations tune in "barely" and "not really" (respectively). Compared to that, yes, this radio is great. But radios can work much better. I had hoped this would have. (Note, I haven't really used the AM function.)
I AM pleased I bought it, but is isn't as good as I had hoped.
Just a clock radio?.......2007-02-09
I took the time on line to read what other reviewers wrote about this particular radio and some other brands. I chose this over another product even though they seemed about the same. This radios had only one complaint, was the blue light. The other radio, people had complained about setting up the clock times.
The blue light has not been a problem b/c we placed this in our bathroom where it could be listened to while getting ready for work, etc.
We have a difficult time with reception at our house due to signal towers on another foothill near us and for some products, like cell phones, and some television cable companies,they do not always work well here. So I was concerned that may be an issue with this radio. It not only works great but I have to agree with other reviewers that the sound is wonderful. It holds up to our other more expensive radio. I would definately recommend this product to others who are looking for great sound.
Super sounding alarm clock.......2007-02-03
This clock is just what I was looking for. The only thing that I would have wanted was stereo speakers. But the other one that I was looking at (boston) really didn't have enough bells and whistles and the sound was much to bassy. I do find it hard to see the clock compared to others.

My Single Favorite Radio.......2007-12-21
I own a dozen or more tabletop or portable radios (Super Radio II and III, Tivoli, Teac R2W, etc.) and the Sangean WR2 is easily my favorite. Reception on AM is a priority for me, and the WR2 is as good anything I own. FM reception is not quite as impressive, but better than most (I think the Tivoli might be a shade better on FM). But the WR2's features (RDS, remote, internal battery, adjustable brightness, alarms, etc.) help make it the best radio I own. Sound is impressive and it looks and feels like an expensive radio. If it had weather and TV bands it would be the perfect bedside radio, but as it is it comes awfully close.
Awesome Radio !.......2007-10-19
I bought this radio after several attempts to unclutter my surround sound system, it works awesome , sometimes you cant even notice that all the sound is coming from one speaker only, very good quality, nice dart vader black, buy it, you will like it.
Beautiful sound; long learning curve.......2007-09-28
If the end result is great sound then this is a winning product. But the design of the interface leaves a lot to be desired. In order to set an wake-up alarm you must push three button in a certain order. Unlike most clock radios, you can not wake to music that changes to a buzzer after a set period. Setting the sleep feature is also not straight forward. Now that I have been using it for a month, it has become easier but something I have to think about each time.
This product should be labeled a radio clock, not a clock radio. Again the sound quality for both AM and FM is superior, but I wanted a unit that is more user friendly on the clock functions. If you can overlook those short comings, it is worth the cost.
Everything's great but the ergonomics.......2007-09-14
This is a very solidly engineered unit. It performs well, looks good, and exudes quality. The controls aren't the most intuitive, though; the display, while attractive, could be more informative; and the operation manual could be user-friendlier. Still, the sound quality is good and the reception is beyond reproach. I'm very happy with the unit. Plus, it comes with a low-profile but comprehensive remote.
If I only lived in Europe.......2007-09-05
I must admit, it's a nice looking radio. However, I have no idea how it sounds since mine arrived with a European power cord and I live in the US. It's heading back to Amazon and hopefully the replacement arrives with the proper power cord.

Good radio, but not for my bedside........2007-11-25
I had read all the reviews and decided to buy one of these for my dad (in silver). He absolutely loves it, but it is true that he looks at another clock at night for the time. He turns the backlight off on this clock.
I decided to get one for myself (white), and when it arrived I was stoked. It sounds fantastic, it's of a really good quality, etc. Too bad I can't sleep with it in my bedroom! The reviews complaining about the backlight are dead-on. The lowest-level backlight keeps me awake at night and casts an eerie light on the room (imagine going to bed with your computer monitor on). The mid-level backlight is bright enough to wake me up before the radio sound does.
And this brings me to my only other complaint: When you wake up to the radio, you cannot see the time. If you're the type who wants to lay in bed and listen to the news for a few minutes, you had better hope they tell you what time it is.
This is an awesome radio, but I'm considering selling it (too late to return it at this point). Unless I buy myself another clock to look at in the dark, I simply won't get any sleep.
Solution to a problem!.......2007-09-13
We live in a rather dead area for FM reception and unfortunately, this included our favorite easy-listening FM station. I wish I had a refund for every FM radio we have purchased only to find the reception very bad and full of static. The Sangean WR-2 solved our problem - reception is great, tone is superb. Well worth every penny.
Sangean WR-2 Rating.......2007-06-27
Recently I had to "give up" on a 35 year old KLH radio that was magnificent. After looking at several products, I purchased the WR-2 Sangean. Very compact, very clean lines, outstanding sound for a radio of this size - and it can be accessed either "manually" or by remote. It's pick-up of remote FM stations is as good as I've found in our location. A very, very nice radio especially or the modest price.
Night-time companion.......2007-05-17
Well built quality product. Easy to use features. I especially like the volume knob which gives smooth and precise control. The sound quality is very nice. Somewhat disapointed in the AM reception at nightime, but it does better than my other home radios. I won't name my first born after this radio, but I do recommend it. Very good value and well satisfied with purchase.
Best Radio.......2007-02-13
This was in fact the BEST radio ever....sound is excellent, convenience can't compare and a remote!! My husband is very finicky and this was one of the BEST products...highly recommend.

Great but not loud enough.......2007-09-14
I bought this for my vacation house to sit on the bookshelf. There are good radio stations in the area and I was hoping to capture them.
Got pretty good reception but probably would have gotten better with an additional antenna,
IPOD and CD music sounds very good but when turned to maximum volume music is not loud enough to be heard in adjoining dining room in this small house.
So I'm going to have to return it for something that can go louder.
It's very good looking on the shelf.

A Quality Product, Don't Worry!.......2007-12-27
I had wanted a new clock radio to replace an old one that made noise each AM waking me up for over fifteen years.
This is the one! Some of us like "heavy, solid, built well, like a rock", and indeed this is a really fine radio.
It has a wonderful sound for a small table radio, is beautifully finished, and so far, for the past six months very reliable alarm wise to get one up!
Keep the instruction book close for the first month, though- setting the alarm takes a bit of practice, but it's worth it!
A very fine value, I think.
I like White . . ........2006-07-28
But was hesitant ordering a white WR-2 when the classic wood grain version has been around longer with so many satisfied owners. Reading one reviewer's post that the cabinet is not solid wood (instead wood veneer over particleboard) boosted my confidence but I still feared the possibility of ending up with a WR-2 with a white but cheesy finish. Buying things over the internet without touching and handling in person can be risky. Having recently unboxed my new WHITE WR-2, I am writing to say I am overwhelmingly pleased with my decision; you couldn't pay me to take the wood grain cabinet now. You would never know the cabinet is wood other than the solid weight and feel of the radio; the finish appears to be a high grade white plastic (like my iPod Nano but presumably with wood underneath). Absolutely Beautiful!
Originally I was shopping for the CC radio (made popular by advertising on Art Bell's program) but after reading reviews that identified problems with the display and memory buttons decided to review all radios I was able to find online (there are hundreds) and pick the best to meet my needs. I chose the WR-2 because it is fairly unique not having any buttons or knobs on the top or sides and advertised as having decent AM reception (I mostly use my radio bedside and listen for about an hour as I fall asleep at night and only rarely as an alarm clock. I will post again after I have a chance to become more critical of it's features and possible shortcomings. For now I am still dazzled with the appearance and simple layout of controls/features that according to my extensive internet search are relatively unique to this particular handsome radio.
Warm Speaker Sound and Great AM Reception.......2006-01-20
This is a very appealing clock radio with digital readout that gives you name of song, artist, and other information as you listen. The mono aural speaker is warm and full. The radio is attractive, solid and well-built, evincing nothing cheap or plastic-laden. The AM is very good. Most FM stations come in strong. But hard-to-get FM stations like 89.3 from Pasadena (I live 40 miles away in Torrance) requires that I move the FM antenna, but this is not a big deal, just a nitpick.
Another important point: Because this radio has a remote control, it works great in your computer office. You can keep the WR-2 six feet or so away from your computer and avoid interference as you toggle stations and volume with your remote.
Post Script: Make sure to turn on the external antenna switch in the back of the Sangean. It improves reception by tenfold.

great radio, but..........2007-06-07
...you need to buy the second speaker to make it a stereo system. Still, a very classy look with great sound.
A disappointment.......2006-03-16
I bought this because I was about to subscribe to Sirius and wanted an alarm clock that would wake me to Sirius programming.
When I got this radio (which is visually beautiful) I was disappointed to learn that although there is an alarm, there is no "snooze" feature as I've seen it in every clock radio I've ever seen. There is something they call "snooze" but that manually turns the radio on for a set time and then it goes off - the opposite of what I wanted, which was 10 minutes of quiet and then the radio again.
This radio is also a bit expensive - which of course I knew, but still, without the features I'd hoped for it's a bit hard to swallow.
I am so happy with this...........................2006-03-13
I can't believe that I debated one second (I checked out all possible satellite radio options, and due to the cost, regretably hesitated on this one for one month). This is the only total satellite radio unit out there; the others you have to buy separate speakers, receivers, hand-held units, special antennas to get good reception---this unit comes complete. It was so easy to "install" this, I didn't even bother reading the directions (and I am a totally non-electronically inclined person). It took about 3 minutes to hook up and plug in--connect 2 included cables to the back of the unit, plug in the wall, and voila. PLUS, I cannot even begin to describe the amazing (yes, AMAZING) sound quality of this unit. It is comparable if not better than Bose. It sounds like the people are in your living room talking. And the sound is big; it fills my large bedroom completely. And then activating my Sirius subscription was so simple (you could do it online and save $5, or do it over the phone)--you just complete payment with credit card, Sirius gives you the signal immediately, and there you go!! I got it to listen to Howard Stern, but that pales in comparison to all the great channels available. I listed to 4 hours of classic Bluegrass music last night (who the #$&!! knew!) Plus there are tons of amazing talk channels (metaphysical info, health info, the Cosmo channel, etc.). I can't believe I waited to long; it's really amazing.
Excellent sound, and a handsome unit........2006-01-20
My wife and I just got Sirius and we were pleased that we did not have to settle for a boombox type of unit for our home. This Kloss Tivoli unit is stunning to look at, and the sound is absolutely wonderful.
I highly recommend this unit to one and all. It does not get any better. We actually paired it with a unit so that my wife can listen to her oldies, but goodies in her nightly "spa"..(aka bubble bath..lol) with a wireless speaker system that is splashproof purchased at Sharper Imagine.
Amazing!.......2005-08-20
My Nightstand was a mess!Until I bought this! I originally had a sirius reciever, a huge radio from cambridge soundworks all on one tiny nightstand. It was so cluttered. That I knew it was time to get some kind of an "All in One" device.
I laid eyes on this Tivoli, and I was hooked. I just got it Today, and It sounds incredible. I know there is an extra speaker/subwoofer available for this unit, but the built in speaker is enough to fill my entire bedroom w/ great sound.
The built in FM Tuner has INCREDIBLE reception, haven't tested the AM yet, but I'm sure that it'll will be just as good. I also have my iPod hooked up through the Auxillary input on the back.
And It takes up Hardly any space on my nightstand!
Overall, I'd highly recommend this system for anyone that want's all of there music sources in one compact device, that produces incredible sound.
Only gripe I have w/ the Radio is that the Remote doesn't have a volume control on it (but it does have a mute button).
Go with this Radio, and you won't be disappointed! Now we just need Sirius to come out w/ a fully portable walkman type unit and we'll be all set!
