I emailed Sangean to see if the WR-12 had Bluetooth or not and they emailed the following back to me:
Dear Nathan,
Thanks for your inquiry and being a Sangean loyal
customer.
Yes, there will be two versions of WR-12. WR-12 is without
Bluetooth and WR-12BT with Bluetooth.
These two radios will have the best audio in their size, with
2.1 stereo system built in.
WR-12 will be here first in October and WR-12BT, one month
after that.
Best Regards,
Sangean Sales.
Nathan continues:
So it looks like we have to wait
longer, but I think adding Bluetooth is a smart move. Most people I
know carry around their mp3 collections or use streaming music services
from Bluetooth enabled smart phones these days because it's easier to
have just one device (even if the DAC's aren't as good). There are a ton
of Bluetooth speakers out there, but none of them are going to have the
warm sound of the Sangean wood radios and not be expensive. For me this
will be the perfect work radio since I can hook up the Aux-In to my
computer, use the Bluetooth with my mp3 player (or phone), and still
listen to UW Husky games on the AM or KEXP 90.3 on the FM.
