Degen DE-115 AM / FM耳塞收音机
我测试过的Degen DE-115是最便宜，最小的（不到2英寸高）AM / FM耳塞收音机，价格为23.99美元，另加Anon-co.com的运费，在eBay上还多付了几美元。尽管其价格相对较低，但许多用户还是对该电台给予了高度评价，有人声称它与该类别的其他电台一样好……强烈要求。当我的到达时，我急于将其与参考耳塞式收音机进行比较……还有几款，以了解它的效果如何。
一，基本规格：
FM范围可以设置为：
64 – 108 MHz
76 – 90 MHz
87 – 108 MHz
AM（9 kHz / 10 kHz步进）：
522 – 1710 KHz
自动调整存储（ATS）
自动扫描调整
手动调整
铝制前壳
带有立体声/单声道开关的AM / FM立体声
内存：60个电台：FM（40），AM（20）
数字液晶显示器
LED背光
电池指示灯
时钟（12 / 24h）
睡眠计时器（5-90分钟）
低音增强功能（可切换）
按键锁定功能
立体声耳机插孔（1/8英寸/3.5毫米）
电源：2 x UM4 AAA电池（不包括）
尺寸：约1.8英寸（长）x 3.2英寸（高）x .75G英寸（宽）/ 46毫米（长）x 81毫米（高）x 19毫米（宽）颜色：黑色/银色（某些地区没有银色）
重量：约1.7盎司/ 48克
随附立体声耳塞，携带带和英语手册。
检查：操作非常简单，用户手册也很清楚。主要的学习曲线是弄清楚某些按钮需要快速或长按才能操作-一旦我知道所有按钮都相当简单。我喜欢的一个功能是“立体声/单声道”按钮，许多此类设备都缺少……尽管许多设备具有执行良好的自动/混合功能，但是有时可以强制单声道是清除有问题的FM立体声信号的好方法。
声音质量：我使用了我最喜欢的噪音隔离耳塞与其他袖珍收音机进行声音比较，Degen的声音很好–声音响亮，清晰，并且低音增强功能通常令人愉悦。我要说的是，所提供的耳塞一点也不好……到现在为止，我们大多数人的抽屉里装满了来自各种设备的耳塞，大多数人的声音要比所提供的耳塞更好，后者非常中音，没有低音或高音，听起来像一个用杯形手说话。使用不同的耳塞。
FM接收：用这种类型的收音机判断FM接收可能很棘手，因为他们使用耳塞线作为FM天线，但是我可以确定DE 115的FM接收效果非常好。它不如我所比较的最佳单位那么敏感或选择性……我不希望它如此，但是它相当接近，并且在大多数情况下，它表现很好。除了我通常进行的并排测试外，我还四处走动，聆听往往会淡入和淡出，有时又被其他电台淹没的电台，而且Degen再次接近我所比较的最佳电台。一点也不差。
上午接待是一个不同的故事。由于其尺寸非常小，它必然包含一个非常小的内部AM天线，因此其AM灵敏度明显低于我与之相比的较大单元。实际上，我看不到Degen在这种尺寸下如何做得更好，因此值得赞扬，因为它的尺寸与小尺寸一样好，但是您应该只期望收到更强的AM信号…中等强度信号听起来微弱且嘈杂，因此DE 115绝对是FM用户的首选收音机。
结论：总而言之，如果您已经拥有不错的一对耳塞，我认为D 115的价格低于30美元，是一个不错的选择，并且性能出色。只要您替代提供的耳塞，它的声音就非常好。尽管它对AM不太敏感，但在这个价位上它的FM接收还是相当不错的。

Degen DE-115 AM/FM Earbud Radio
The Degen DE-115 is among the least expensive and the smallest (less than 2″ tall) AM/FM earbud radios I have tested, costing $23.99 plus shipping from Anon-co.com and a few dollars more on eBay. In spite of its relatively low price many users have given the radio high praise with some claiming it is as good as any radio in this category…a strong claim. When mine arrived, I was anxious to compare it with my reference earbud radios…and I have several, to see just how good it is.
First, the basic specifications:
FM range can be set to:
64 – 108 MHz
76 – 90 MHz
87 – 108 MHz
AM (9 kHz / 10 kHz steps):
522 – 1710 KHz
Auto Tuning Storage (ATS)
Auto-scan tuning
Manual tuning
Aluminum Front Case
AM / FM-stereo with Stereo/Mono switch
Memories: 60 stations: FM (40), AM (20)
Digital LCD display
LED backlight
Battery indicator
Clock (12/24h)
Sleep timer (5-90 minutes)
Bass Boost function (switchable)
Key lock function
Stereo Earphone jack (1/8”/3.5mm)
Power supply: 2 x UM4 AAA batteries (not included)
Size: Approx. 1.8” L x 3.2” H x .75G” W /46 mm L x 81 mm H x 19 mm WColor: Black / Silver (Silver not available some areas)
Weight: Approx. 1.7 oz/48g
Supplied with Stereo earbuds, carrying strap and English manual.
Checking It Out: Operation was straightforward and the user manual was clear enough. The main learning curve was figuring out that some of the buttons require quick or long presses to operate – once I got that all was fairly easy. One feature I liked was the Stereo/Mono button which many such units lack…although many units have well-executed auto/blend functions, being able to force mono is sometimes a good way to clear up problem FM stereo signals.
Sound Quality: I used my favorite noise-isolating earbuds for sound comparisons with other pocket radios and the Degen sounded good – the sound was loud, clear and the bass boost function was often enjoyable. I will say that the supplied earbuds are not very good at all…by now most of us have a drawer full of earbuds from various devices and most will sound better than the supplied buds which were very midrangy with no bass or treble, sounding like one was speaking into cupped hands. Use different earbuds.
FM Reception: Judging FM reception with this type of radio can be tricky since they use the earbud wire as an FM antenna, but I was able to ascertain that the DE 115’s FM reception was very good. It was not quite as sensitive or selective as the best units I compared it to…I wouldn’t expect it to be, but it was fairly close and in most cases it does very well. In addition to my usual side-by-side tests I also walked around listening to stations which tend to fade in and out and sometimes be swamped by other stations and again, the Degen was fairly close to the best I compared it with. Not bad at all.
AM Reception was a different story. Due to its very tiny size it necessarily contains a very small internal AM antenna and as a result its AM sensitivity was noticeably less than with the larger units I compared it with. Actually I don’t see how Degen could possibly make it any better at this size so they are to be commended for getting it as good as it is for the tiny size, but you should only expect to receive stronger AM signals with it…medium strength signals will sound weak and noisy, making the DE 115 definitely a radio for FM users first.
Conclusion: All in all, if you already have a decent pair of earbuds to use with it, I think the D 115 is a good value at under $30 and a fine performer. It has very good sound as long as you substitute better earbuds than the ones supplied and although it is not very sensitive on AM its FM reception is quite respectable at this price point.
Conditionally Recommended.
