1 Customer Reviews

Sangean WFR-28 Wi-Fi Internet Radios are a combination portable internet radio and audio-media streaming device that is fully portable. Listeners may access over 13,000 radio stations such as NPR, FOX News, CNN, BBC, CBS, KROQ, and over 35,000 podcasts, as well as your regular FM-Band with Radio Broadcast Data System (RBDS).

Additional features include Frontier Silicon's IR 2.2 network audio software, providing the most complete, versatile, and easy-to-use software available for the next-generation internet-connected audio systems. The WFR-28 also delivers sound beyond its size, while EQ and audio controls let you further adjust the sound to your liking.

WFR-28s deliver solid FM-radio listening, complete with a built-in telescopic antenna for outstanding reception. Save your favorite FM and Internet stations on your presets. To enhance music sharing, playing, and remote control applications for iPhone and iPod Touch, your WFR-28 includes DLNA-Certified Universal Plug 'n' Play (UPnP) and Windows 7 Certification.

WFR-28 Wi-Fi Internet Radios allow you to connect your iPod, iPhone, MP3, or CD player to their auxiliary input for additional music enjoyment. Their line-out jack may be used to feed the signal to large amplifiers or home entertainment systems. Use their alarm feature to wake to your favorite choice of Internet radio station or FM station or... if you must... a classic buzzer alarm. Whichever you choose, a gradual alarm feature gently raises the alarm volume, so it's not too jarring. A dual alarm lets you set two separate wake times.

WFR-28 Wi-Fi Internet Radios may link via iSangean, which is the remote-control application installable on an Apple iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPod. A PIN allows you to ensure that your radio can only be controlled by your own Apple device, rather than someone else's. The iSangean application allows for the selection of internet radio stations, selection and control of media for UPnP and DLNA-Certified music streaming from a local computer, server or NAS device, as well as control of FM-radio and other functions (where these functions are present on the radio). The "Now Playing" screen provides radio station or media information with direct control of the radio volume.
