everything ok

Philips nunca defrauda. Simplemente perfecta. Una maravilla de aparato que nunca pasa de moda.

Radio poręczne zasilane również z sieci 230V, bardzo dobry, czysty odbiór nawet bez anteny (w dużym mieście). Łatwość obsługi w starym manualnym stylu. Wygląd może się podobać, stabilnie i pewnie stoi na biurku, marka uznana, wejście na słuchawki w łatwo dostępnym miejscu. Z wad: brakuje małej rączki do przenoszenia oraz zasilanie 2x LR20 to na przenośne radio za dużo.

I bought the Philips TAR1509 radio, mainly for picnics and emergency’s, but it ended up getting a lot of use at home as it was a great little radio, so I decided to get the TAR2509 as a battery-less replacement for home use, I’ll start the review by listing the important things. Volume: Thanks to the dial you can very gradually adjust the volume, from basically silent to very loud, the speakers are larger and sound amazing. Weight: it’s slightly heavier than I expected in a good way, still not “heavy” in my opinion. Quality: The build quality is great, the dial is smooth with a little resistance for a satisfying feel, with a nice satisfying click when turning the volume to off, the sliding switches are also very sturdy, the plastic feels as premium as plastic can, the dial for changing frequency is heavy to turn which allows for fine adjustment. Sound Toggle: The toggle for voice vs music seemed like an addition to fluff up the device and give it another “feature” but it genuinely does make a big difference, it seems to boost the low ends to give it a fuller less radio sounding sound. Battery Life: I can’t speak to the battery life as I’m not using batteries, but I will add it takes two 1.5v D batteries which are easy to buy but unlike AA and AAA are obviously harder to recharge without the purchase of a new battery charger, so something to keep in mind. Looks: obviously highly subjective, use your eyes to decide for you but personally, I think this radio as well as the other radio I have from them are both beautifully designed, a mix of modern and mid-century.

Genau das, was ich gesucht habe: Ein tolles kleines Radio, guter Klang, einfache Bedienung und der Preis ist auch o.k. Es steht bei uns im Bad - an einem sicheren Platz - ich kann es mir aber auch gut in der Küche vorstellen. Ich bin mehr als zufrieden und kann es nur empfehlen.
