Four people contacted me with reports that their Sangean WR-12 was junk. Mine came shortly after and it too was junk, a feature I empahsized on my Amazon review. Now another Amazon review in which we find the speakers stopped working after one day.
Who will buy this radio now that 6 people have affirmed its junkiness and zero happy owners?
This is not some obscure radio. This comes out from a huge company and it had, for almost a year, very big expectations. Very sad.
Yup, I think I'm going to have to bail on the bluetooth version. Maybe Sangean can fix some of these problems? In the mean time I'll keep my WR-2 and buy some smaller audio gadgets.

Yeah, I tried giving it a chance for awhile but I just can't get over how poor the reception is, and the decent bass wears off after awhile due to the lack of mid and treble definition. I sent mine back.
I think I may give the WR-11 a shot. I'm a little annoyed that I'll have to pull the auxiliary cord in and out every time I want to use it, but I really enjoy the look and simplicity of the WR-11 and WR-12.
Can anyone who owns the WR-11 confirm how well it plays at louder volumes? It doesn't have to be perfect, but I would like it to fill a room with decent bass and still have the treble sound clear and well defined.

Thanks for pointing out - I was just about to order it, but the reviews at Amazon are too bad. Very strange for a product coming from Sangean...
