Easy to use and a very affordable product from the DAB market leader.

Always check DAB coverage in yur area before purchase. The software on the unit I purchased contained known bugs and had to be updated via the units USB port. A relatively simple task for technies but not ideal for everybody.

Tucked away discreetly at the back at the office and well used during early mornings and late nights. Anybody still suffering from listening to Medium Wave with good DAB coverage in their area should definitely consider purhasing.

Ease of use, battery life, intellitext, smart and modern design.

This was my first purchase of a DAB radio and I can genuinely say that I have been delighted. It is great to use - simple, straightforward controls with a very easy way of changing from one station to another. It is an excellent radio that I have been using indoors and outdoors during the summer. Alan Brazil, Rodney Marsh and Mike Parry from talkSPORT never sounded so good!

Being rechargeable, I've had it months now and have only charged it a few times. The size is also good, makes it very portable.

Sometimes loses signal and starts 'speaking in tongues.' However, I think it's probably more to do with where I've placed it and signal strength in my area, rather than the radio itself.

The battery life is absolutely amazing.

The writing below the buttons, indictating what they do, has worn off already. It doesn't really affect things, because it is very simple to operate and hardly has any buttons, but if somebody who hasn't used it before borrowed it they would struggle.

Good sounds, good display screen

Easy to search through different radio stations, but difficult to actually choose a another station, i.e. weird press button for 3 seconds. Channel doesn't change if you press the button for a longer or shorter amount of time.

It is well built and robust

Poor reception in areas that theoretically should have been OK. This might be the signal rather than the radio, but the aerial through the headphones seem a bit flakey

This product is small and compact and handy for long car journeys when the football is on and the children are in the back and want to listen to it. It has a very good reception and is easy to use.

Should come with better earphones

Don't like the words "TALK SPORT" being stamped on the outside facing of the radio and having Talk Sport being the default setting for channels.
