Blaupunkt BDR 500 Portable Digital Clock Radio with PLL / FM (RDS) / MW Black (Electronics)

Customer Review

(Last addition, after a month of use, my comment below I take the fourth star because, as I had foreseen, even a fairly large default and ends up costing. This device is still rather greedy eater battery (a small logo appears at the end of race) Compared to my previous position, and also RDS, Sangean ATS 305 -.! for connoisseurs because it has unfortunately disappeared from the market, and it was a gem - this is the day and night Both however have a screen size roughly equivalent, but which consumes most is, for some time before then to cut himself, this automatic lighting and perfectly stupid car. useless of said screen when the slightest "manipe" ... including a full, when you press the button off the end of use. So obviously, there should be lighting at the request, with specific command. Pity!)

(In addition, unlike my Sangean aforesaid point system giving deplete battery gradually, for example to indicate that we still have in this area 5/10. So the wear indicator lights up very early SINCE once lit, the position will still work long, long time. Knowing this, it does not change its batteries immediately, it would be a mess. But flip side, we do not know when we will actually get to the end . And to this end, not only then everything goes out, but ipso facto we lose all its storages, it will start from scratch, a hassle. Totally illogical, all that.)

Finally ... Unlike what we find completely sucks and New corny now in this area in the store shelves, are back, reasonably priced and ideal dimensions, a RDS radio (showing the name of the station, what it found traveling in the maquis surencombré FM! but then, however, it's cretin view this product with a picture showing not just the frequency, as if it was no not an RDS station, no?). Kind of thing that had almost disappeared (Sangean, Grundig and Eton, especially Sony - this former great iconic and innovative brand fallen low ... - and her youngest RDS - exactly the ICFM33RDSS, I also, I know what I am talking about - completely useless because a) responsiveness nullissime b) the mono headset, not even stereo !!! c) its ugly skinny).

First very amazing thing about this Blaupunkt: it is well and good stereo (through headphones), which does not appear anywhere, either on the device itself, nor mentioned in his paperwork or on its packaging written all over yet! !! Secondly, aesthetically, it is really core. Third, there are several options for sound and better than Normal or Music, Voice calls ... I really listen when that case, the difference is very clear. Fourthly and most importantly, without simply deploy the antenna, this radio is downright outstanding, I weigh the word about the reception sensitivity, which indicates the quality of the internal components, then that's the kind of thing that we can not know before you buy, and all other small radios by that sin today (I know, too, so I had to and still have ...). Fateful Test: I get all my favorite stations impeccable, always without antenna, even in my small bathroom-closet window, located elsewhere on the tip of my apartment the most refractory to the airwaves. Near amazing, trust me on it!

So five stars? Well, not quite, because some small improvement would be desirable on a next edition of the product, which squarely fall of design errors. 1 / No small side rotary knob to adjust the volume but impractical and wrong place, a small + button and a small button - on top of the unit 2 / Alarm Function setting buttons / alarm and countdown falling asleep (sleep function, nothing to do with your panties) also placed them on top of the unit, making it - and I had already known that - that you may press it unintentionally grabbing Naturally the device, and trigger your knowledge surprises delayed: I recall, with another radio ... this ringtone woke at 0:00 pm so midnight! 3 / on the back of the device, without this kind of small traditional fold caliper to ask not quite flat, but slightly tilted, if you see what I mean ... 4 / And to pick up the little beast, I gave up successfully pass (to fix the position) the strap ...

All this being understood, very positive results overall, as said the Krazucki comrade. In use, it will see the battery level speed (but there is a socket for transformer), knowing that, anyway, the RDS display and a certain screen area are rather greedy supply ( Again, I speak from experience). Especially here (and it probably is, again, a little mistake) any manipulation 'illuminates the screen for a time before auto power off. In my view, this light should be able to trigger only at the request by a specific button on / off, as found on other existing positions.

Well, I hope I have not forgotten anything. I repeat that, overall, this is an excellent product of its kind, certainly the best in its class. If I mainly because of small defects is that what will overwhelmingly well of course, as the trains arrive on time. More on time, moreover, that the Post Office, which has nothing in our dear old public service: one week to deliver (and the seller, very fast Elite Diffusion Audio, has nothing to do) . When we think of crazy prices, including the colissimo ...

(PS From the Front, hihi, I finally managed to get the strap. More seriously, from the two Sangean currently in my possession, which indicate that briefly when we just turn them off, I also see another little lack this Blaupunkt: no indication - permanent, in any case, there is perhaps just at the end, when it really is time to change - the level of wear of the batteries in place ...)
