Product Description
Sangean's DT-200VX builds on the success of its predecessor, the DT-200X - a popular belt radio for over a decade. It has great selectivity and responsiveness and picks up stations in areas where no other radio could. Along with great reception in the classic black case, you'll also get the handy belt clip, a set of ear buds and an external antenna. The DT-200VX also has a clock, backlight and deep bass boost. The 19-band memory and memory seeker makes it easy to tune in, and the large LCD display makes it easier to see. The Sangean legacy of superior reception and sensitivity are here, with additional features that it even better.

Amazon.com Product Description
The ultimate pocket radio, Sangean's popular DT200V is imminently compact but loaded with convenient features, from its 19 station presets to its drift-free, PLL synthesized tuning, auto station scanning, TV sound reception, and handy belt clip. Listen through the built-in speaker or the supplied ear bud headphones. Forgot to turn it off? No worries: it shuts itself off after 90 minutes to conserve batteries (its sole source of power). The radio's high-impact ABS case virtually guarantees long life. Batteries should last 30 to 40 hours at moderate volume through the unit's single speaker and slightly longer on the included ear bud headphones. Pocket use was taken into account even at the level of ear bud manufacture: if you put your radio in your pocket, it's less distance to one ear than to the other, so one side of the headphone cord is accordingly shorter. The DT200V runs on 2 AA batteries, not included. What's in the Box
Radio, ear bud headphones, belt clip, trailing antenna, and a user's manual.

 Outstanding radio August 18, 2010
James Kieklak (Chesterton IN USA)
This is one terrific radio. I gave one three years ago as a present to my wife--she dropped it on concrete and it broke. This is the replacement and is even better than the original for battery life and ease of use. If this one gets broken again, we will replace it with the identical radio.
 A good basic radio August 17, 2010
Yan Liu (Bethesda, MD USA)
This radio is a little bulkier than I expected. the functionalities are pretty basic: digital tuning, station pre-sets and AM/FM band switch, etc. I works well in the last month or so. I use it when biking to work. The C-Span radio signal used to be very weak when I was using a Sony FM tuner on an MP3 plaer. It is better now. But the diference is not that huge. While the Sony player is the size of a thumb drive, this one is the size of a deck of cards. As soon as I enter the hallway my office building, the signal immediately start to crack. But overall, it is not disappointing. I just feel when you have a radio of this size, it should be a lot more powerful in receiving signals and resolving them better.

I may have expected too much out of this radio because of the glowing reviews of this radio but I have some negative observations. First off I have to say I bought this radio because I wanted something that could pick up long distance AM reception. I listen to a lot of Chicago radio stations which are about 90 miles from my home. Mind you that most of these stations are high powered and 90 miles isn't that great of a distance.
Ok here are my thoughts on this radio. It feels cheap to me, the way it looks and handles. A minor drawback is the bottom of the radio is rounded which makes it difficult to stand the unit upright on a desk or whatever while you listen to it. That I can live with but a more major deficiency is the batteries in my unit don't seem to secure meaning a few times the batteries have dislodged themselves from the power connections in the radio. I examined the springs in my unit and they don't seem compressed enough to hold the batteries in place and they don't exactly line up like they should do. I like to listen to the radio when I do tasks such as mowing the lawn. I keep this radio in my pocket and a few times the batteries have moved enough in the radio where I lose power. Maybe I just got a bad unit. I don't know. Another problem is the radio keeps cutting in and out when I'm walking and slightly jiggling the radio. This would be AM stations in Chicago but I also get the same effect but a lot less pronounced on local stations just a few miles away.
Another observation is that FM reception is almost nonexistent unless the trailing antenna is plugged into the ear piece connection but then you can't use ear plugs to listen to the radio.
I also didn't think even the local AM stations came in great. I may revise this review when I buy another small portable radio and I'm open to suggestions on which ones to try for mainly AM reception.
I really wanted to like this radio but I just don't think it was well thought out and made. Maybe when I can compare it with similar type of radios I will revise my opinion. Anyways I tried to be honest as possible on this review. I usually post more positive reviews of products I buy but just couldn't do that on this radio.
 Worst soundingportable ever - I returned it June 13, 2010

This was theworst sounding portabl;e radio I ever heard. I have a $5 radio that I purchased in Walmart that outperforms this. DON'T BUY IT! I returned mine right away.
Good little radio May 11, 2010
Manny (Nevada, Las Vegas)
The sound coming out of this radio is not bad, but it's not perfect. The sound distorts if you raise the volume too high either with the headphone or built-in speaker. Even though it's not perfect it's probably the best sounding mini portable radio I have ever owned when you use the headphones. The external speaker sound is nothing to talk about, it can be improved, which is ok if your listening to a talk show.
