Yes you get what you pay for, and it's a good thing..... as this WR-11SE is worth every penny of it's price point, it is just that nice.
Why?
The combination of excellent design & quality components come together beautifully in this radio, so both form & function are simply outstanding.
What I love about this radio.......
1st, it looks fantastic... I love the wood cabinet & it's easy to read beautifully lit control panel.
It sounds great! You get clean clear crisp full range modulation with the 7 watt speaker through the acoustically tune wood cabinet, and.... this radio has some real full bodied VOLUME to it, that does not distort when turned up.
Ease of operation - IMO this old style radio is a breath of fresh air... it's simple control interface is as user friendly as it gets!
Tuning - This is the kind of tuning I can enjoy, manual.... as it allows you to make the kind of precise adjustments needed to zero in on your target station of choice with pinpoint accuracy....
Reception - Reception is what it is all about, and The WR-11SE's reception ability is excellent, close to amazing really.... this radio has outperformed EVERY radio I have purchased in the past 15 years.
OK
Up until now I have had nothing but great things to say about this great radio....
So now it's time to get to the ONE thing Sangean did wrong here......
The radio comes with a plug in wire antenna.....OK, that's fine but where is collapsible antenna?
Answer - it does not come with a telescoping antenna...
It seems to me to be a bit illogical to not just include the antenna that is BEST suited to provide the BEST reception possible with such a fine radio, along with the cheap/inferior wire antenna... so the consumer has the option to use whichever antenna best suits his/her individual needs.
I knew the wire antenna would not provide the degree of reception that I needed to pull in the only station I like to listen to, so when I ordered the WR-11SE I also ordered a collapsible dual band antenna that you can get here on Amazon...
After testing both antennas my assumptions were proven correct.... the wire antenna could not secure the station signal I was targeting.....
but the telescoping antenna was able to fully attenuate to the signal so I could tune it in loud & clear!
So.... if you want to listen to stations that do not come in clearly, you really need to get a collapsible antenna so you can get the best reception possible.
OK Having said that.... I will say that even though it was irksome to have to purchase another antenna, It is not a big enough transgression to merit deduction of a star as the additional antenna was inexpensive.
So to wrap this up....
IMO this Sangean WR-11SE is a highly recommendable radio, get it while you can... you won't regret it!
5 Stars
Gifted HDR-18 to my son living in Toronto. We were in Toronto last summer and enjoyed HD sound. Again a good looking tabletop radio with awesome sound and reception.
So decided to get one for me. I’m 65 year old retired male. Ordered WR-11SE on 24th Jan, 2024. Received on 13th Feb 2024. The wood color is of a lighter shade when compared to the pictures. The front fascia also is slightly different from what I thought it would be. It a has slight golden hue to the metallic finish. I love the looks. Sound quality matches WR -16 SE. Build quality also as good as WR-16SE. I’m able to receive all the 10 FM local stations with good reception quality. I have fixed the wired external antenna which came along with the radio. We have 220v supply in India. So I am using 12v 1A wall wart which I purchased in Amazon India separately. Working good.

Simple. Minimal. Analog. This radio does 1 thing and it does it very well. It's simple and easy to use. The front of the radio has 3 controls: a volume knob, an Off/FM/AM selector knob, and a large tuning knob. All the controls feel like they're solidly constructed and will last a long time. The tuning knob is larger than the rest and feels very smooth while turning. It provides a slight resistance compared to the volume knob and is geared in a way that makes fine tuning easy. It takes a handful of turns to traverse the entire frequency spectrum. When switched on, the numbers and notches on the frequency indicator light up and the FM or AM label on the left side lights up brightly depending on which band is selected. The tuning LED lets you know when you're receiving a strong signal. The speaker is surprisingly loud and sounds very good. Typically I listen with the volume knob at 9 o'clock. If I want to get loud, I'll turn it up to 12 o'clock and still have plenty of headroom left. As with other Sangean products I've tried, there is a heavy boost to bass frequencies. This can make music sound better, but also has the effect of de-emphasizing static and noise, making the radio sound clearer even when it's not getting a clear signal.
With just the included FM wire antenna attached, it got very good reception and clearly picked up stations that other radios struggle to pick up. AM reception seemed very good as well. However AM reception can be problematic with a table radio as the radios orientation in relation to the transmitter can make a huge difference and if your radio is near a source of interference, you may pick up additional noise. If you don't want to move or rotate your radio, an external AM antenna can alleviate this issue.
The design of this radio is minimalist and very easy on the eyes. It almost seems as if it was sculpted from a single mass rather than constructed from separate parts. The wooden cabinet and few controls give it a vintage look and feel, however the wood on the unit I received did have a couple knots in it, making it look a little less nice than the unit pictured.
There is only 1 thing I do not like about this radio. When the aux input on the back of the unit has a cable plugged in, the radio turns off even when the other end of the cable is unplugged. This wouldn't be a problem if the aux input was on the front of the unit, or if it turned the radio off when the other end of the cable was plugged in, but when the jack is on the back of the unit the auxiliary input less practical to use. This is a shame as the speaker is surprisingly good. Even though it's only mono, it would be worth using.
Overall, this is probably the best value for a table radio on Amazon assuming you don't need additional frequency bands or other bells and whistles. If you need presets, stereo sound, digital tuning, bluetooth or the myriad of additional features you can find on radios now, you should probably look elsewhere.

Edit:- Now it is more than three months since I purchased this product. I thought that it might be due to the lack of a good out door antenna that this radio is not picking up distant stations. I purchased an omnidirectional FM antenna through Amazon and mounted it at the top of my house and connected it to this radio's external FM ant terminal using a coaxial cable.To my surprise,I could hear several distant FM stations clearly .I get FM stations even from Kochi now. I am sure this radio can pick up more distant stations if I raise the height of the external antenna.But due to the threat of lightning I can't do it now. I connected an external AM antenna too and now I am getting several AM stations .So now I am changing my rating of this radio to 4 star from 2 star. I love this radio .
I've been moving it around from room to room depending on where I am and it functions well all over the house no matter whether day or night. I don't always get the clarity I would like on some stations I like to listen to (both talk and music) but not sure that is the fault of the radio. I was debating between this model WR 11 and a Tivoli Model One but the looks and price of this one along with the amount of positive Amazon reviews swayed me to the Sangean. I'm sure the Tivoli is a great little radio too and I may get one at some point down the line.
I had originally ordered the WR-12 model for about $203 including free shipping from Amazon but they were out of stock and after waiting about a month or so for the order to get filled I cancelled and went with the WR-11 as it was cheaper and would most likely meet my needs. Must say I was totally shocked how fast it arrived as I don't have Amazon Prime and I ordered I believe late last Friday night and it was on my doorstep on Sunday morning....Bonus. Koodos to Amazon for such good packaging as the radio came in its original sturdy box packaged well inside a bigger Amazon box and arrived without being banged up at all.
I decided to order the WR-12 as well as it came back in stock this week and I'd like to have another so I'm not carting this one around so much. I'm looking forward to trying out the base and treble controls. It just arrived by Fed Ex as I'm writing this up and am looking forward to un-packaging it and trying it out today. Amazon didn't do any extra packaging on this one by inserting the boxed product into one of their bigger Amazon boxes with some extra packing which may be a good idea as the Sangean box came banged up and dented. Luckily the radio itself is well housed inside and wasn't damaged.
Overall, the WR-11 itself seems to be a good little radio and I'm happy with it.
Update: I've unpackaged the WR-12 and have been comparing it up against the WR-11 model. I really enjoy having the treble and base control and subwoofer and I would say if you like your radio loud that this might be the better model...if you're got an extra $70. I find it is a clearer sound at a higher volume and really rocks with the subwoofer...wow. The WR-11 seems more pleasing to listen to at a lower volume on the current radio station I am on (fm music and talk mix). I currently have the WR-11 stacked on top of the WR-12 and have them both cranked up midway.....now that's a really thumping, nice sound ha ha! Don't think anyone can go wrong with either one of these cuties....they don't take up much room (the WR-12 isn't much bigger than the WR-11) and can easily be carted anywhere around the house and look great. I wanted two good tabletop radios so know I'll be more than happy with these two. Thanks Sangean.
Der Klang ist für meinen Geschmack absolut perfekt. Zwar mit Bass aber nicht zu kräftig. Dadurch klingen Stimmen eher angenehm warm und nicht wie aus einer Mono-Metalldose. Das übrigens auch bei sehr leiser Einstellung (Das Gerät steht bei mir auf dem Tisch am Arbeitsplatz). Die Sender werden sauber und mit ordentlicher Trennschärfe gefunden, haben mit der integrierten Antenne einen glasklaren Empfang (Stadt im Rhein-Main-Gebiet) und müssen auch nach Wochen nicht nachjustiert werden.
Insgesamt kommt das Radio schlicht und elegant daher, punktet dann aber mit sinnvollen Anschlüssen (AUX und Kopfhörer, sowie externe Antenne) an der Rückseite. Das Holzgehäuse (Echtholz) in Walnuss sieht phantastisch aus und verstärkt mit der cremefarbenen Front (dicker Kunststoff) den Nostalgiefaktor nochmals kräftig. Die Lautsprecherabdeckung ist aus Metall gefertigt. Die LED am Sendersuchknopf leuchtet bei starken Sendern und flackert bei schwachem Signal oder Rauschen. Die Feinjustierung wird somit erleichtert.
Getestet wurde der Klang vom iPod touch G3 über den Aux-Anschluss. Wichtig natürlich die Lautstärke am Zuspieler voll aufzudrehen und dann über das Radio zu regeln um Verzerren zu vermeiden. Wie schon von einem anderen Kritiker bestätigt, ist der Klang qualitativ nicht zu beanstanden.
Dass ständig Kollegen fragen, woher ich das Radio denn habe, spricht auch eine deutliche Sprache.
Also: Kaufen - über Preis nicht nachdenken - an einem optischen und klanglichen Schmuckstück erfreuen.
