Nice compairson with actual music, rather than just some beats. Tivoli clearly outscores on the sound quality. Sangean sounds compressed. I don't mind an analogish sounding radio that cracks at higher volume instead of a controlled sound that doesn't produce emotion in the song as well. The guttural vocals of the lead singer come out so truer on the Tivoli.

I own both of them, the versions without the BT (I believe there's no other difference on both devices - other than the BT function they are the same) and Sangean imho is a better radio.

[@melchezi8818]

I used to have Trivoli's they gave out did not last long for the price. Sound crackled and gave out when vol turned up. Sangean is half the price without bluetooth, I do not use bluetooth. I like the lighted dial. Viva La Radio!

Hermoso, el Tivoli más agudos

[@mmsb13_420]

Tivoli is clearly the winner, in both sound & looks. I recently bought a Tivoli Model One in black and am so impressed with it, I just bought a Tivoli Pal BT for portable use. Highly recommend Tivoli.

The sangean sounds fuller imo

Tivoli electronika 1983... Sangean modern receivers

[@richardmerriam7044]

I have an older Tivoli Model 2, and a much newer Sangean WR 11. Though the Sangean is mono, it still is a much better sounding radio.

[@Rehunauris]

I'd say that Sangea is better when listening talk radio and classical/jazz but Tivoli works better with rock style music.

I hsve a Sangean and i realy enjoy this raido a hole lot. I payed $79.00 new fome ABT elctronics.

[@georgeoikonomou6939]

I vote Tivoli.

[@CARLOSMARTINEZ-rh3sf]

Ambos suenan súper bien 👍

[@user-mj3oq6hb6u]

i vote tivoli for sound
i vote sangean for reception sensitivity

[@RosssRoyce]

Tivoli sound is rich and deep while also bring multi-tonal and sparkling. Sangean sounds narrow in comparison to me.

[@sachininspright]

Very true, matches my listening impression too. Surprised that so many commenters here prefer the compressed sound of Sangean.

[@mood8344]

My old ears prefer Tivoli, to me the vocal more clearer, but new technology like Bluetooth in Sangean plus point.

[@sea8669]

我也买了山进，相比较山进设计的形象更为时尚，另外山进在 FM 的接收灵敏度相当不错。I also bought Sangean, which is more fashionable than Sangean's design. In addition, Sangean's reception sensitivity in FM is quite good.

[@federicoortiz1041]

Yeah the Fm reception is good.

sangen looks great !

Ive got the model one but planning to buy sangean wr 11BT. You personally, if you were to rate each from 1 to 10, 10 being the highest, what is your score for each in terms of SOUND QUALITY and RADIO RECEPTION?

[@federicoortiz1041]

Sound quality SANGEAN - 8 TIVOLI - 9
Reception SANGEAN - 9 TIVOLI - 8
Both radios have a good sound, but Sangean sound is a little bit boomy ( too much Bass ).

[@arnairbalkhobar2929]

@@federicoortiz1041 i thought the model one had boomy bass too and the highs are a bit more pronounced as well. Well, your inputs are of help for my purchase. Thanks so much! Please upload reception comparison of these two at night listening ☺️

@@federicoortiz1041 hi! Just an update. Ive got the model one from an online seller and i find it a little towards bright sounding. But it sounds great in classical music

[@deec2923]

I'm looking to buy a Sangean that has Bluetooth. I read somewhere that stuffing some cotton balls into the port on the back of the radio reduces the bass boom. I don't know whether that's a good or safe thing to do but somebody tried it and they said it reduced the bass depth of the sound.

[@federicoortiz1041]

If you place the radio near to the wall you add 3 dB in low frecuency ( bass ) and in the corner even more. So you can place the radio in a open space and the sound will be more or less flat.

[@deec2923]

@@federicoortiz1041 mine will be near a wall on the nightstand but I may like the sound to have a bit more Bass.
