Got 2 of these, brilliant and easy to use

Great quality radio I put it on charge when I first got it as stated in the instructions ,only took 3 hours to fully charge so far it’s been on for 8 hours and still showing fully charged , sound quality is good , great value and a quality manufactured radio 😁👍

A great little radio. Sound quality is very good for a small single speaker unit. I found the radio quite easy to set up, but you must read the user manual carefully before trying to store stations, it’s not as intuitive as it could be. Going through the menu functions can be tricky, but it’s all in the manual, somewhere !! My only disappointment is when in standby mode it doesn’t show the time/date, just an illuminated, but blank display. Why not have at least the clock time showing, which I would find very useful by my bedside. Otherwise I would have given it all 5’s. The battery last a long time. I’ve had the radio on for several hours and the battery level hasn’t dropped at all. I’ve found the station select buttons very easy to use. With the radio by my bedside I can reach out and easily change the station. I’ve only used it on Dab, not interested in FM. The radio stays In standby mode when connected to a charger and won’t completely switch off until the charger is disconnected, probably to keep the battery on charge. One puzzling thing I discovered is with the aerial fully extended and vertical the radio produced occasional squeaks and squawks, which disappeared completely with the aerial at 45 degrees ? Probably a consequence of my location close to a source of vertically polarised interference.

Big deal here for me is the portability and chargeable batteries, if you think a battery charger and something like four AAA won't leave much change out of £20, you have a DAB radio for £15. - Some people seemed to have missed the dimensions in the description, it's small, think paperback book small, so - no real bass to speak of, basic physics, but voices and vocals are nicely clear and it's free of nasty spitty tinniness - reception is OK works just as well in that respect as my PURE EVOKE - the case has a nice rubbery grippy feel too, so if you are moving it around all good. - I cant speak to the battery life yet as it's still on its first charge but I'm not knocking off stars for what I don't know - instructions aren't super clear but once you have the presets done you can forget that. A bargain!

Works great

It looks good, sounds good and works OK straight out of the box. But the 2nd time I tried to re-charge it, the screen flickered on/off and it died. It would not recharge! It would not switch on! OK, after a week I did eventually manage to get it working again by trying different chargers and cables but I was not impressed. DO NOT PAY FULL PRICE FOR THIS RADIO!

I was looking for a replacement for my old Roberts DAB radio, after it was dropped one too many times and stopped working. I'd found a few on Amazon that looked promising, but chose this one based on its size and ease of use. And so far, it's lived up to all my expectations. The radio arrived with a small amount of charge in it, allowing me to set it up straight away. On first switching it on, it performed an auto tune, successfully finding all the DAB stations. I was able to quickly and easily save my favourite stations by scanning through the channels, then long pressing the appropriate button on the front (1 to 6). Once set up and ready to go, I left it to charge completely and I'm pleased to say that after daily light use (around 1-2 hours per day), it's yet to be charged again over a month later. Overall I'm happy with this radio. Sound quality compared to my old Roberts radio is no where near as clear or crisp, but this is £40 cheaper than that one, so I'd fully expect that. On the plus side, it's much lighter than my old Roberts radio and the station buttons and volume control are much easier to use. It takes a little longer to find the station it's tuned to when first switching it on, but once it's found it I've never experienced any interference or loss of reception. For the price, size and build quality I'd definitely recommend giving this radio a try.

I bought this radio for my elderly father as he had to go into a care home and likes to listen to the radio. I bought this particular radio because it seemed easy to set up so that he only had to press one of five buttons to quickly access his favourite stations. The assignment of individual stations to one of the 5 buttons has a serious weakness in its design. If you hold the button for a few seconds then whatever station you are currently listening to gets assigned to that button. Due to his age and dexterity, he presses the buttons and if he holds them for one second too long then the tuning is completely messed up. I wrote to the manufacturer and asked if the station settings could be locked in some way, or the timing lengthened to avoid the problem. They wrote back and said that' s the way it is! The other problem is the USB connection cable for charging the battery. It is weak and already damaged. So in summary, the radio is not at all suitable for older people and the battery charging lead/socket is flimsy. The sound quality is poor as well, so I would not recommend this product. EDIT - July 2022 Update information. The power supply connecter is awful it is based on some kind of miniature USB connection and totally unsuitable for purpose. After just a few months it has broken and the radio cannot be charged anymore. Therefore unfit for purpose.

Batteriet som ingick i radion gick snabbt sönder och kunde inte bytas ut.

Fantastische radio. Niet te groot, niet te klein. Erg handig dat ie oplaadbaar is. Menu is eenvoudig en intuïtief. Zowel DAB als FM hebben een zeer goed ontvangst. Het geluid is bovengemiddeld en beter dan ik had verwacht. Kortom; super apparaat.

We don't have DAB yet but the standard FM sounds great. We did have to buy an adapter for the USB though as we don't yet have USB outlets on our power points

Surpris par un aspect sobre et la précision des commandes,le support est soyeux,une prise en mains rassurante.Le premier essais de mise en route est intuitif donc pas besoin de notice pour les débrouillards.En dab ou fm la sonorité est correcte meme pour les mélomanes.Le scan est efficace et précis.Bonne emballage et conception générale plus que positive.Excellente durée de la batterie après plusieurs heures d"écoute (réceptionner batterie charger). Simplicité,compacte et élégante, cette radio est une réussite. Cable pour recharge en usb C" fourni, pas d'écouteur pour la prise jack mais pas important.

Ottimo suono, facile da usare e bella anche da vedere. Sia DAB che FM, cinque preset per ogni banda. Va caricata completamente prima del primo utilizzo e ci vuole una notte circa ma dopo dura svariate ore di ascolto. Senza caricabatterie nella confezione, c'è solo un cavo USB. Comunque ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo.
