Audio quality of Eton Elite Field vs. Retekess/Tivdio V115

[Gadgeteer2000]

Hello all,

I have several FM/AM/SW radios - including the Eton Elite Field BT (newest edition) and the Retekess/Tivdio V115.

The other day, I was listening to them back to back - when I realized that the V115 seems to have better audio than the (generally well rated for its audio) Elite Field.

Is this just me, or is it possible that a $20 (subcompact, entry level) radio sounds better than a $100+ (tabletop, mid range) radio? (The V115 is with neutral equalizer, while on the Elite Field I boosted bass and treble - still the V115 sounds better to my ear; Elite Field with neutral equalizer is no contest). Or is something broken with my Elite Field audio?

Of course, I am not comparing any other feature - just pure sound quality on strong (same) FM or AM broadcast frequencies.

Thank you for sharing your experience.

This post convinced me to buy the V115. Great audio on such a small radio. The price is unbelievably low!

Enjoy! Yes, the audio is surprisingly good on it (hence my original question). Very nice (and low priced) device, also for playing mp3 files... (and of course you can record the radio - I like that feature as well)
