Ocean Digital WR-860 FM Wi-Fi Internet Radio with Stereo Speakers, Alarm Clock, Sleep Timer, Line Out, Aux in, Stress Relief, Relaxation and Sleep Aid, 2.4" Color Display

I'm mostly using the Ocean Digital WR-860 for internet radio, as I'm too far away from the FM stations I like. I did put the unit through its paces to test all its abilities (except for one mode) and here are my results: (Internet radio) It shines here, with Skytune as its engine. Hundreds of stations and genres, good onscreen information, solid performance given a solid broadband connection. Easy to mark favorites. (Media centre) It found my private DLNA server (local Plex media server on my laptop) immediately, good interface. (DAB HD radio) Unable to test this, no DAB broadcasters in my part of the world. (FM radio) Okay results, mostly because I don't have a lot of local broadcast options. Manual tuning mode is cumbersome, but you can choose scanning signal strength between "strongest stations only" and "all stations." (Bluetooth) Paired right away, latency of around half a second. Worked fine. Note: bluetooth only one direction, from another device to send audio to the radio unit. If you want to use bluetooth wireless headphones or earbuds for output, you'll need a dongle to plug into the output jack. (Aux-in) Worked exactly as expected. (MP3 on USB) (MP3 on Micro SD card) Worked fine, but does not interpret metadata, album covers or sort. If a folder equals an album, you can choose it individually. Alarms, sleep timers, audio EQ, remote control (included) and remote control via smart phone app all available and functional. Some depth to the menus, but the scrolling knob on top is a great help. The volume knob is incremental. Buttons atop unit are responsive and quick, remote buttons are standard and effective. I wish there was an easy way to switch between daytime mode, with the unit making sound but showing the clock, and nighttime mode, with the unit in standby and the clock very dim or off but not in power off mode via the back switch. The display is dimmable, but then I want it brighter the next day. Not a huge deal. Overall this unit is exactly what I was looking for.

Honestly, I was not sure what I was buying with this. I had a digital radio system 20 years ago and really loved. But it was GRACE and I was not sure what had changed since then. This unit is small, but looks nice. The window with information is fairly small, so you have to be right next to it to see it. It has good volume and surprisingly good sound for the speaker size. I wish I could connect external speakers—but that seems to be a lot of trouble, if it’s even possible. Once you program several stations you like, you can use the remote to turn off/on, change stations, adjust volume. There are still very good commercial-free stations out there, and I listen to this daily.

It's hard to know where to start, SOUND: Amazing Bass, way more than I expected and very clean. EQ: Several Presets for different types of broadcasts + Customer Custom. Ease of SetUp: I am 72 and had it set up and connected to WIFI in less than 20 minutes and I have a long password. QUALITY: The quality is excellent though screen could be a bit larger, layout is nice with knobs and buttons on top. FM sensitivity I wish I could manually tune but it only scans for stations, I live in Northern Washington and listen to some Canadian radio and can pick up on internet but not tune manually so no DXing here, I will try scanning in mono scan and see if I get the Canadian station. So still learning but so far I like this radio a lot. SIZE: It's big 12.5" W x 7.5" D x 6" H. SCREEN: It is a color screen, about 2.5" Diagonal, words and numbers are a bit small for my old eyes from 2 feet but fine at 1-1.5 feet. EASE OF USE: At 72 I have had no problems navigating this radio or connecting to WIFI with it. I have knocked down one star because of not being able to manually tune this radio but also still learning and many would never need that option. I bought this with my own dollars and was not giving any deal or agreement for this review and hope this will help others.

So far all their radios have been excellent.

The radio speaker produces clear voice and good music range. This unit has no BT transmitter, so I had to buy a standalone one, the 1Mii B06TX works with the radio totally sweat-free. The radio manual is in serious need of re-writing - I thought I was good at following directions, but this one is a challenge. At any rate, the radio has been working great using the speaker or my headphones.

Je pensais pouvoir me connecter à Amazon music mais je n'ai pas trouvé comment.

Five stars for sound from such a small package. Two stars for navigating it. Really awkward and impossible withhout constant referring to a manual. Nothing is intuitive, perhaps On and Volume, but that is all.
