The good: AM/FM/HD tabletop radio with attractive retro design and a real wood finish; auxiliary line-in jack for connection to any iPod or portable device; RDS text support; clock, dual alarm, and sleep mode; includes EQ, bass, and treble controls; 20 station presets.
The bad: Neither of the control options--the single control knob nor the credit card remote--are particularly easy to use; no CD or satellite radio support; the quality, availability, and reliability of HD Radio stations can vary widely.
The bottom line: The Sangean HDR-1 is a capable tabletop HD Radio, but its lackluster controls and dearth of extras leave only its retro wood styling to distinguish it from the competition.

As if that weren't enough it also boasts an Aux-input that allows you to connect an MP3 player, a DVD system, and its slim full-function credit card remote control that allows you to quickly and easily scan through HD and Standard AM & FM stations at the push of a button, a sleep timer, and a headphone jack allowing you to comfortably experience your favorite local HD station without disrupting others, but best of all the features is that you don't need a subscription to listen to HD Radio!
