Bingfu DAB 7-Sections Telescopic FM Antenna for Denon Pioneer Marantz Bose Wave Music System Indoor Digital HD Radio FM Bluetooth Stereo Receiver AV Audio Vedio Home Theater Receiver

So my father had a 10 year old Bose stereo that had seen better days. He patched it up however the FM radio reception was poor. . I bought this and within a few minutes he was listening to crystal clear FM reception. The product itself is good quality, extends easily but with enough resistance to suggest it will last. There are a number of different connectors/adapters which should cover most people’s devices but check the pictures before you order. The price was good and delivery was next day. All in all a good buy. Would recommend.

How necessary and effective this aerial is will depend entirely on where you live and the problem you want to solve. I live in a strong DAB area but always prefer to listen on FM. Trouble is, this has to come from the distant Wrotham transmitter - Oxford is closer but the Chilterns are in the way - so the signal needs all the help it can get. I fitted the aerial to my home-office Ruark R2i, whose standard aerial extends to barely 60cm. The improvement is noticeable. I can now enjoy Radio 3 on FM whenever I like, rather than just when the atmospheric conditions are helpful. I still have to put the R2i into mono mode - but stereo from speakers 21cm apart is really only wishful thinking anyway, so that's no great loss. The strong DAB signal is still there if I want something that's not broadcast on FM. Incidentally, I also tried the Bingfu FM dipole aerial, hoping the 3m cable and the wider choice of aerial position would get me a stronger signal, but it didn't. So I suggest that if a full-fat rooftop FM aerial isn't practical or economic, this one is about as good as an indoor aerial can get. It's a bit expensive for what's really a very basic item, but the radio cost a lot more and it's not much use without a decent signal.

Very neat and efficient alternative to standard Bose wire aerial

Bought to tidy up and replace original ribbon cable antenna on a Onkyo mini hifi. Does the job well. Chrome plate appears of good thickness with no sign of tarnish or discoloration. Behind mountain lock nut is a nylon washer providing enough friction to allow antenna to be positioned and stay in place. Most importantly reception is great. Pleased.

There was a clear improvement in quality of FM reception and easy to join parts together to get the fitting required for your system - in my case the 3.5 mm jack. Reception is very poor in the room I have the unit, due to local conditions and the steels in the wall, but I can now receive most stations clearly. However the angle joint is weaker than I would like and aerial will not stay vertical - I have to slightly angle it to rest on a wall. Not enough of a problem to return the unit, but not ideal.

Purchased to replace a lost aerial on a Tivoli Model One radio. Works just fine - I have no issues getting reception on FM. easy to fit, came with misc. adapters. Happy with this purchase.

Longer antenna, better reception. They work a dream

Easy to install on the back of a Panasonic. Needs to be tightened properly or it has a tendency to fall sideways. However, once installed the antenna works very well; receives loads of stations and produces really high quality sound! Be aware that at its full extension it's well over a metre! I don't have it fully extended, as I haven't found it necessary.
