About this deal

On the front of the radio, there are dedicated buttons for the Home screen, EQ/Local button, Favorites, and Sleep Timer. The IHeartRadio app is one of the leaders in the audio space, a solid option for most. Pandora Music Readers might recall that last year, I reviewed the Ocean Digital WR-26 portable radio and was pretty impressed.

Speaking of Bluetooth speaker, yes, the WR-23D is one of those, too! Simply select “Bluetooth” from the home menu and pair it with your favorite device. Couldn’t be easier! FM radioLastly, the device was not specifically designed to be carried around, yet works just fine for occasional outside use. It features a battery mode powered by the rechargeable mAh lithium-ion battery delivering up to five hours of audio streaming. Many internet radios have built-in touchscreens with interfaces similar to a smartphone. (In fact, some interfaces are built on Google’s Android operating system.) This app is a fantastic option for sports fans or anyone looking for some great audio content from all over the world. The midrange of the WR230S is sweet, and fairly clean. As expected from the price point, it has some distortions if you want to drive it at the maximum, but even close to max it is clean and crisp. The detail level is great, considering the price. The midrange tends to have an open and brighter tuning to it, rather than being dark and lush.

The Ocean Digital WR220BP is similar to the Ocean Digital WR220 reviewed above except that it has a built-in battery meaning you can use it as a portable radio. Features CC WiFi Internet Radio is also compatible with audio streaming devices like Pandora and iHeartMedia, giving you access to almost any podcast there is, however we were happy with the direct connection stations.The Ocean Digital WR-23D sports an ABS plastic body that feels very solid in the hand. Indeed, some shortwave portable manufacturers should take note–the ABS structure is so solid, there’s no give when I press into the middle of the speaker grill, for example. I feel like this radio would survive falling off of a table or shelf with no problems. The Ocean Digital WR60 offers good value for money, and gives you a huge choice of radio stations to listen to. You can adjust the EQ to get a decent level of bass, though the over-sensitive volume control can be somewhat frustrating. The Ocean Digital DB220B in an FM/DAB/DAB+ radio with Bluetooth for wirelessly streaming music or other audio from a phone, tablet or laptop. This affordable radio also comes with a remote control. Features With how advanced technology is now, most internet radio devices come equipped with some of the biggest audio streaming apps around. AccuRadio

What I really love is the portability of the WR-26. After charging the battery with a standard USB charger, you can listen to FM, DAB, Bluetooth or WiFi radio for hours. The audio is respectable and volume can be increased to be almost room-filling. I did not test DAB reception. I’m located in North America where there are no DAB stations on the air to test this functionality. Bluetooth The treble is smoother, without much presence and extension in the highs. The treble extends as high as about 8-9 kHz realistically, and that is still quite good for the price point. Most of the energy is in the mids, with the bass keeping company so that the sound isn’t boring, but the treble really is’t the highlight of WR230S and their sound. Dynamics are ok, better than I expected from a radio, but still a bit behind competitors like multi room solutions. One downside with the WR238CD is that it can take a long time to find internet radio stations as you either have to search for them manually or scroll through several menus and sub-menus. Entering station names via the remote control is time-consuming, but this is quite common with internet radios.

Pros

Actually, this was a favorite thing for me, you can abuse it a bit without issues. The sound coming from the two stereo speakers is fairly clean and clear, it can be turned up really loud with zero distortions, and as I tried to provide in my youtube video review, it has some bass too. In fact, the bass is surprisingly good and undistorted, with excellent extension down to about 70Hz.
