This radio has excellent sound quality. There's a bass port for the speaker, and the radio cabinet is a heavy wood composite. I use the Auxiliary input for a CD player which also sounds really good. The tuner and telescoping antenna pull in stations from at least forty miles away. It cannot decode HD from the most distant stations. I feel confident an outside antenna could do that. My building is reenforced concrete that makes indoor reception difficult. The remote is handy. A number of AM stations now simulcast on HD for better sound quality, and I have presets for those. The tuner pulls in all the stations I need from that band--all local (within 25 miles). Recommend!

I bought this radio specifically for HD. We own several AirBnBs and i wanted this to tune in to public radio classic music. Our local public radio has 3 stations and 2 of them are only available in HD. The HD signals are pretty strong, but the radio will at first pick them up and them drop them without notice. Maybe its just me or my situation, but the HD feature I bought this for, really didn't work. Won't buy again.

I am a fan of Sangean radios for their sensitivity and this unit does well. I got this one to explore the HD Radio thing and well HD it isn't but that's not the radio's fault. As far as the tuning is concerned I use a FM Yagi and a sloper for AM. The unit does a good job of using both but if an adjacent channel is strong it causes interference on the channel you want to listen to, especially if it is distant. AM HD (Digital) stations are somewhat difficult to tune with the internal antenna but the 40' sloper cures that problem. Sound quality is a little lagging on the highs but decent on the lows for it's size. Definately helpful to have bass and treble adjustments on the unit. I especially enjoy the display which displays all the RDS info at once and the direct tuning ability of the unit.

I purchased a refurbished model. The sound was much much too deep. I tried adjusting the tone, but it did not improve. I like to listen to classical music and the output sound is a non-starter. I'm not sure if they are all like that, or if the refurbished model is defective. Also, the wood housing did not match up with the front very well. It might have been taken apart to repair, but I'm not sure. I plan to return this and find something with better quality control history.

Bought the HDR-18 for our kitchen. The sound quality is very good. The AM radio stations we like come in through FM digital band like cd quality. Nice high quality wood cabinet produces good dept to the sound. As an experiment I plugged in a blue tooth receiver through the AUX input and the sound gets even deeper and more filling.I owned the Tivoli table top radio briefly and was not impressed with the sound and returned it.The HDR-18 is definitely a keeper.Obviously its just a table top radio and cannot replace a proper stereo but it sure packs a nice punch out of that little cabinet.The only gripe I have with it is its lack of built in blue tooth connectivity . That would surely complete the package.

I bought refurbished but I could not tell it from factory - new. This radio is a really nice looking set. Both FM and AM reception are excellent and if the radio is in a low interference location, the AM section will really reach out at night. I like the settable tone control and also that the display brightness is easy to set for easy daytime reading of the RDS info, or display can be turned off for sleeping with the radio on. I am very pleased and feel i got good value for my money. I absolutely would buy it again or recommend it.One caveat though - do not expect a prominent bass from a set with a small speaker like this. There is no magic for small speakers, no matter what anyone or any company tells you. The tone is well balanced and I think this limitation will be insignificant to most owners. I have a powered woofer ( bass speaker ) and i will connect it to the receiver output jack on the back of this radio.
