First signs were good, tuned in easily, picked up plenty of DAB stations and FM transmission good, then I drove off, keeps cutting out, just not enough signal strength on my commute (M/A27 Southampton to Chichester). Shame as when there is a signal it sounds really good but cutting out as often and for as long as it does renders it almost useless. I will be contacting Amazon with a view to returning it for a refund.

Hubby wanted a DAB radio - neither of us are technophobes, but which product do you choose if you don't want to spend the rest of your life working out how to use it!? Assessing reviews and considering the cost of the product, I chose this one. Really pleased - very user friendly and excellent reception. So good, I've just bought another 2 (as pressies)!

ive used this twice now to charge my radio and i have only got 10hours play back time on each occassion.dont know if the batteries drain quickly because it isnt a very strong signal where i use it ,or that it depends on how lloud you have got it on.all in all i found this product fairly useful.

Loved its neat shape, easy to set up and great range of options BUT the one REALLY annoying thing is that the display dims when the light goes off, so, with admittedly less than perfect vision I cannot read the time in the dark. The Whole Purpose of having an illuminated display!!!!

I got this as an xmas present off the wife and was hoping for so much. First build quality. The unit itself is made of metal but the buttons are made of cheap, tacky plastic. Surely it would not have added to the cost too much too use metal buttons too. Reception ain't that great either, you cam nudge it half an inch and the reception just goes. Not sure what they mean by personal but I would no recommend it as for music on the move. I use it to listen to foot ball while away from home and it sometimes cant even find radio 5. If Dab is the future, then lets stay in the present

I bought one of these pretty much immediately when it came out from a major high street retailer, and had the high pitched whine problem that occurred when the screen was dimmed by a variable amount. I got it replaced at the store no problem, and since then I've enjoyed it. It is quite lightweight, but some blu tack sorted that button pushing problem out.
We listen almost exclusively to speech stations (R4, R5, BBC7) and low volume ipod and as such we've found the sound fine, and the unit looks very smart. The remote control has been very useful for my wife who was feeding the baby some meters away! That worked well.
It is quite pricey, but does what it is supposed to do pretty well, and as such we were on balance quite ... Read More:

At the time of writing, 21 of the 25 reviews give this radio five stars. This tells you almost all you need to know. You'll almost certainly be very happy with the radio.
The other four award it four stars. Take the trouble to read what they say because they pinpoint one of the irritations I have found in this otherwise excellent radio.
The basic problem is the process for selecting stations. Before buying, I read the description that says the radio has 20 presets. I thought this would mean I could simply switch between preset stations by pressing one button. This was a feature I was looking for.
But this isn't how it works. Look at the picture. To select a station you press one of the small silver buttons which ... Read More:

I ordered this for my wife to use in the kitchen. It arrived when I was at work, but when I got home my wife had set it up, tuned all the stations and colud use all the functions. this may not sound much but my wife has trouble stting up a hair dryer!
The sound for such a small device is very clear.

Had one for about 10 months now. Well built and very good sound quality, even when used in an internal bathroom (I live in SW London so assume DAB signal is pretty strong). Some small but annoying criticisms though:
1. The necessary charge pack battry is a rip off at £27 extra
2. When powered by battery it has a stupid double-press on button to turn radio back on (press once and it turns off again, need to press twice at carefully spaced interval)
3. No ability to have alarm cancelled at weekends so you need to remember to turn it off every Friday and bakc on Sunday night
