Pros

Excellent and elegant radio. We have a wooden kitchen so this fits in exactly as we wanted. I love roberts radios, this is my third! First class product.

Great radio, easy to use, lightweight with responsive controls and surprisingly good audio. Works seamlessly with mobile phone. Great for irritating my wife with my latest music download and the line out socket enables playback through my hi fi.

Basic streamlined design with good finish and easy to use. The presets are easy to set and use, the led display clear and informative. Bass & treble controls, large lc display, clock andamp; timer functions.

Build quality is excellent and although only mono, the tone is superb. Ideal for talk radio and perfectly adequate for music especially classical.

The dab is the latest dab+ and so receives scala radio, which is one of our favourite stations. The radio has 2 alarm functions using either a radio station or a buzzer audio. There is also a dab function to control the volume.

The build quality is excellent and although only mono, the tone is superb.

Receiver sensitivity in fm was better with the old sony and it affects directly the sound quality.


I assume this is an issue with the bluetooth itself, and not an ios specific issue.

Competitiveness


Nice radio,easy to use,sound ok,connects to phone easily enough.


These can then be played back via the sets bluetooth facility which is a doddle to set up and of great quality.

    But i wanted something decent

    The reception isnt great and you do have to extend the aerial completely to receive all dab stations which youll need to take into account if you plan on placing it somewhere within a tight space eg in your kitchen
