Sangean WR-7GW Wood Cabinet Mini Bluetooth Speaker with FM Tuner and Aux-in Special Edition Color Gold/Walnut

Range isn't super far but very cute and good sound.
Good sound quality. I use this in my kitchen and garden. The only downsides are that 1.) somehow the finish chipped in multiple places and I definitely didn't drop it so I don't know how that happened. It is minor though. 2.) the range isn't super far. If I walk from my front yard to my backyard with my phone in my pocket it loses range and stops playing and my yard is really small. But I do like the sound and the look very much.

Great Small Radio
I like to use this radio everyday while shaving. Small, nicely made with decent sound quality.

Surprisingly nice sound from a small unit. USB powered.
We bought the WR-7GW after being impressed with a clock radio from Sangean, a Taiwanese company. Impressed again with this unit. The selection of radios has become quite limited, aside from cheap junky units, smart speakers, and full-on hi-fi receivers. We wanted something in-between --- just an FM radio for the kitchen, but with decent sound. The Sangean WR-7 fits the bill: It is *very* small but looks nice, feels sturdy, and has really surprisingly good sound for a portable radio.A note on model numbers: WR-7 has various suffixes (like GW) that appear to depend on variations including power connection. WR-7GW has a micro-USB port for power, and comes with a USB-A to micro-USB cable but not with a power supply; we are using one of those little white cubes that looks like it came with an iPhone but is probably a knock-off, which is fine. Sangean also makes a model with USB-C power, but it is apparently only available in Taiwan at this time (November 2024). We like this radio well enough that we'll probably buy a couple more for other rooms, but we may wait until the USB-C model is available in the U.S.We will normally keep the radio plugged in, but the internal battery could be handy if we lose power in a storm this winter.

This tiny BT, FM radio speaker rocks!
My Sangean wr7 arrived in good condition and was charged enough to operate immediately. It has an excellent sound quality without sounding scratchy, tinny or have a bass drone. Great FM reception without plugging in an antenna and mp3 player works great, did not try the BT and doubt I will use it. Very happy!

Almost perfect… almost.
High quality little Bluetooth speaker and FM tuner. Good sound. Good battery life. Retro cuteness off the charts. BUT… given that people likely buy this for the retro charm factor, I do not understand why they have to use a very anachronistic blue LED indicator on the front of the radio. This really just kills the whole retro look of the radio, to the point where I have actually taped a piece of (matching color) paper over the light. (the amber light in back of the FM dial is no problem, as it’s plausibly a color that might have been used in a past era). I’ve seen this tone-deafness in the design of other retro designed electronics. They go to great lengths to create a desirable retro look and then spoil it with modern LEDs that don’t have to be placed front and center. (Just pick a more accurate color that was used in the past! Red, amber, even green would work! The blue light does not work!)

Very Cute, but dimensions are not as listed
The speaker is very cute and has good sound; HOWEVER, the dimensions under product description are lies. It should be 6.5” long, but the speaker is 4.5” long. I don’t think it should be $80 for how small it is.

Small But Mighty
OK so I knew it was small, but in person it seemed even more tiny than I was expecting.I bought this to be a kitchen radio, and even though it's probably too small for this purpose, it sounds pretty great. I might recommend a larger unit for most people's kitchens, but in our case I think it will work.Office, bedroom, bathroom(?), travel, this thing is an easy choice.One thing to note, the BUILT IN fm antenna (invisible) is excellent. No need to buy the recommended external antenna, it also comes with an external wire antenna if needed.... But the built in one is really strong.

Great Radio
Amazing sound, design and build quality.It has a perfect form factor, too.I just wish the charging port was usb-c vs microUSB.Hope it lasts a long time!
