Ocean Digital WR230S Internet Radio Review

[@michaelmcquay4050]

Not only did I get one but purchased a second one. Really great feature with two of them I can have both radios on the same internet station and there is no delay, can stand between them and they play in sync, so just a added bonus if your considering two or more of these.

[@michaelmcquay4050]

Thanks for the heads up, just purchased

Thanks... I just ordered it. $89 bucks in the u.s. and using my prime points because I buy a lot of unnecessary junk on Amazon, I only paid 12 bucks. Great video. One question ... is there an internal program that loads podcasts? Like google or apple podcasts? No one .. and I mean NO ONE .. explains the podcast feature in their reviews of internet radios. Thanks again

[@geekanoids]

Great price 🤓👍🏻

[@DarrenGator]

Cool radio, I can also see having this in the kitchen. What would be cool is if someone would take a radio like this but make it look like the old tube radios & have the tubes glow as well.

[@geekanoids]

I would love a retro one too.

[@davestelling]

Excellent review, I think I'm going to purchase this one. My first step into the internet radio realm. Thanks...

[@Lensman3333]

Hi, I bought this product, so far pleased. The only downsides are (A) The majority of Station Logos are NOT installed you have to contact Ocean Digital. (B) NOT A fault of Ocean Digital, but lots of stations in particular US where I live as well, the stations are NOT available here in the UK.

[@geekanoids]

Many thanks 🤓👍🏻

[@SteveLBMK]

Looks great, Dave. I have a Roberts wifi internet radio in our kitchen and love it! 👍👍👍

[@geekanoids]

Nice one Steve … these are great, love Roberts too.

[@elbowroomtube]

Excellent review. Would have liked to hear it

[@geekanoids]

Many thanks.

[@zaharsulman486]

Hello, Thank you very much for your review. What would you advise me to buy - Ocean Digital WR-800D or Ocean Digital WR230S?

[@geekanoids]

I do not recall reviewing the 800D but was very impressed with this.

[@jimmymurphy7789]

I just got one (to replace my Grace Digital 750 that just died after 5 Yrs.) & I agree with everything you said. TY. It's a great radio & I already like it much better than the Grace.

[@geekanoids]

Great choice 🤓🤓🤓👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@realhedi7911]

Dave you are a legend!

[@geekanoids]

Thanks so much ;D Happy New Year.

[@tomypower4898]

Yes one and I mean YES ONE!

[@lauwe54]

Fantastic video well explained this has made me want one even more now so iam going to order one now,not from ocean as i live in holland doubt if they have this make but i seen this make which looks very like it Audizio

[@geekanoids]

I am not sure. Not seen that brand. But this is a great choice.

[@charliedontsurf70]

I know nothing about internet radio.All I want to know is can I just plug it in, turn it on and scan whatevers broadcasting or do I have to program all the stations I want to hear?

[@geekanoids]

It would scan.

[@alexblank1140]

Thank you for this helpful review! May I ask two questions to the reviewer, or anyone who owns this radio: Internet radios that I've owned by Auna and Le Mega sometimes emit a high-pitched whine while they play internet radio. Does this radio emit such a whine? Second, how many internet-radio "favorites" can be stored on the radio itself?

[@geekanoids]

Sorry I no longer have this to check. However it did not emit the noise you are describing.

[@charliedontsurf70]

My understanding is it only scans Skytunes.net stations? I'm in the states and I've never heard of that.

[@geekanoids]

Sorry I no longer have this to check.

[@autohelpguy8112]

Thank you for having posted this. I got one recently and a major issue is buffering when changing stations - usually it's between 5-15 seconds and can be as long at 25 seconds. Is this normal? I took it to work and experienced the same issue. I subsequently acquired a Grace Digital Mondo Elite and there is no buffering when changing stations.

[@geekanoids]

I did not experience this. It might be the data coming down to the unit too slow.

[@scottd2063]

Hi, Dave. Assuming you are still using this radio, are you satisfied with the quality after owning it for awhile? Any other impressions you would like to share? Thanks.

[@geekanoids]

Sorry I no longer have this.

[@KlodFather]

@@geekanoids - Why did you not keep this radio? Would like to hear your thoughts.

[@markmisener3997]

Thank you so much for your review of the WR230S. Could you please tell me how large the time is on the display panel? From what I see in the advert, it appears as very small font in the upper right corner. This is somewhat useless for me as I require glasses, and if I want to see the time in the early hours of the morning. Is there a setting to display the time prominently on the screen in large font? Thank you, Mark.

[@geekanoids]

I no longer have this to measure. However, when in standby the clock is larger.

[@robm8809]

@@geekanoids Is the standby clock digital or analogue, please?

[@jacklyao6524]

Awesome. Your video piqued my interest in radio.

[@geekanoids]

Thanks Jack :D Happy New Year :D

[@vietnamcombatveteran2274]

but how do you set the presets and how many stations can you store.....

[@geekanoids]

Sorry I no longer have this to check.

[@FB0015]

Thanks Dave for your review. One doubt, I suppose the bluetooth allows connecting a Iphone for listening musics I have archived. But it allows to connect a bluetooth phones to hear the music only for me? (Blueetooth in and out?)Thanks in advance .

[@geekanoids]

Sorry I no longer have this to check.

[@Sydney2217]

Looks a good buy , but not here in Australia ?..nearest equivalent is a Sangean model ,more expensive , much more but it does have Spotify connect.

[@geekanoids]

Thanks for sharing this.

[@Gdj_Ga]

Curious about Alarm Clock functionality. I leave my current bedside radio on faintly all night. Can I set a buzzer alarm that will come on loud while the radio is still on faintly?

[@geekanoids]

Sorry I no longer have this to check.

[@janeburke147]

Hi,could you recommend a good radio for the kitchen & garden with a nice high volume please.Great video 👍🏻

[@geekanoids]

I would look at the Pure DAB range.

[@janeburke147]

Geekanoids ahhh,well my Pure one classic has just stopped working so I thought I may try a cheaper one 🤔thanks 👍🏻

[@dj_sorra8605]

I bought this device with the name SAL...identical

Hello, Hope you are well during these difficult time. I enjoy your reviews and just found this. Looking for an Internet Radio, torn between this and the PURE IR3, Ocean Digital WR-336N or Majority Pembroke II Digital (No headphone socket) Not a deal breaker/ Value your advice, Thanks, NIgel

[@geekanoids]

I have always been impressed by Pure. This one was good for the price though.

[@Lensman3333]

@@geekanoids HI, Thanks for getting back to me, in the end we spun a coin and the Ocean Digital 230S Won! Thanks again, Nigel

[@virtuafighter3]

Thanks for this. Can you tune into some stations show us some Internet channels etc? Can it take mp3 tunes via a memory stick? How are firmware updates added does Ocean support that?

[@geekanoids]

Sorry, we no longer have this to check.

[@DrSleep00]

Thanks,Strange as im about to buy a imternet radio.Looking at the £30-£50 Ocean models,do you think they will still be good?

[@dem-blades]

Just purchased this for my kitchen - can't seem to find the watts output anywhere though? Is the sound quality ok?

[@geekanoids]

Sorry I no longer have this to check. Sounds quality is good.

[@elbowroomtube]

5 watts each speaker. check the website

[@amerramday]

Aiwa iradios are great and reasonably priced.

[@geekanoids]

Agreed 🤓👍🏻

[@simonbpuk2949]

1st Jan 1970 on the radio screen, that was 49 years ago, i wonder if we've got the first Time travelling Dab WiFi internet radio from the past that has been sent forward in time to where people have WiFi, the internet and Dab signals. What an amazing tecnically advance piece of kit we have here, i say we because i've had my eye on this particular model and ordered it today.

[@geekanoids]

Awesome Simon, have a great weekend.

[@jhtttan5250]

Can the display be turned off when the radio is working？
