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

So far all their radios have been excellent.

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.

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.

Going to keep this simple... I don't leave many reviews, but when a product or a service is extraordinary, I do take the time to let others know. If you are interested in an Internet Stereo Radio that is modestly priced, look no further then this Ocean Digital WR-860. It had the features I was interested in: Internet Radio, FM Radio and the ability to play content from a USB Drive. Once connected to the Internet, you really no longer need the Antenna for FM as you can find and save the FM Stations that you want to listen to. Here is where this unit excels. 1. Sound. It really sounds fantastic for a unit of its size and price. It is surprisingly good. 2. The SW programming of this unit is very well done so that the user of this product can easily set things up. Kudo's to their engineers as you don't need to be a rocket scientist to get things up and running. So many other positives like the date & time is set up and synced automatically thru the internet, the color display is nice and has all of the Station / Song information you would ever need, the remote works great, etc., etc., etc. I'm extremely pleased with my purchase and am considering buying a second unit for another location in my home. Highly recommend.

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.
