Comparison Degen DE1128 To Tecsun PL398

I was going to buy the tecsun pl505, but i changed my mind occasionally. I have got degen de1128 for several days, it is just my personal experience below:

design:

de1128

 pros: I personally like de1128: smooth to the touch, the two horn just like 2 big eyes, looks modern.

cons: it is too thin to stand on a desktop but just lay down

pl398

pros: it is stable, can be put upright

cons: too sharp and it may scrape you hand

comparasion of operability:

i like tecsun pl398 better on this basis

cros of degen de1128:

A. direct input frequencies even after pressing “enter” to play, enter the storage addresses also need to press the “SET” key to play;
B. and the shuttle cannot call up stored frequency, very inconvenient;
C. not press the backlight.
D. after the shutdown screen does not show time, time also need to light up the screen you want to view.
E. volume adjustment keys “V-” & “V+”, is not very convenient. 

pros of tecsun pl398

A. adjustment convenient, continued the Shenzhen jingking consistent ease of operation features of the machine, you can directly enter the frequency or to enter store address, shuttle can directly call up stored frequencies. ETM features are highlights;
B. backlight pressing;
C. smart light up the screen is very easy, it can still display time and other information in the status of shutdown
D. volume knob can make your work easier

cons of pl398:

A. button is too hard, really tired;
B. becauseit need to show temperature sake, address storage under the screen, may not display the current frequency of address, lost its advantage  of PL660.
3. the radio part:
A.FM:DE1128>PL398,as I  no longer compare them, DE1128 FM I personal feeling over the performance of PL660,PL398 and PL660 flat.
b.AM,PL398>DE1128,
C.SW,PL398 and PL398 get the some score,  but strong statitions(such as BBC English) are good, but less than PL660.
sound quality

DE1128>PL398
Every one thinks in his way,  you can’t even feel the bass of DE1128, But you can easily feel the stereo(better than pl398) when you use its loud speaker.
MP3 Part:
de118 won, pl398 sucks at mp3, de1128 making you picking song easier and its sound rasing gradually instead of strike your ear by accident.
