Roberts Radio Play10 DAB/DAB+/FM Digital Radio with Simple Presets - Black

Awesome little radio at the price. Very light and portable. Getting good FM reception even with aerial stowed. Simple to set up and simple to use. I like the fact the top is slightly angled towards you. Only 3 stations can be saved (3 FM and 3 DAB) but to be honest that makes it simple to use daily. 3 stations 3 buttons…Nice and easy. Love it! Great value for money.

Adaptateur pour l Angleterr et pas pour la Belgique 🇧🇪

The look is fine but it has not very good reception. Edited & added: the sound is mono! Terrible!

Lovely little radio - bought for a friend. Easy to pre-set stations and being able to run on batteries handy when on the move. I don't think anyone would be disappointed with this purchase

I found this ROBERTS portable radio to be generally very well designed and also robustly made. The basic controls are simple to use and large enough for all finger-sizes and abilities. The instructions are very clear and easy to read, and I found that for a small portable radio both music and speech were more than amply clear . There is a simple menu button for switching between DAB & FM, and I found the quality of sound of both formats crystal clear. The menu button can also be used to further optimise sound quality of various stations . Tuning through the numerous various stations is very easily performed by turning a fairly large knob, and the radio's visual panel then displays which station is being aired in ample-sized lettering. Up to 3 DAB channels and also up to 3 FM channels can then be simply preset for instant access at the touch of an individual button. In brief, this ROBERTS portable radio has been generally well thought-out and designed for remarkably simple operation, and so would equally be suitable for persons of 'maturer' years who may well find the operation and small button-sizes of other similary priced portable DAB/FM radios more difficult for those who may be less dextrous. However, there are inevitably some drawbacks in this fairly budget-priced radio. For instance, the information on the easily-read screen is limited basically to displaying the name of the station tuned. Others will know that many other even cheaper DAB radios display such information as the names of artists and also details of music tracks being played etc. Also, if using this as a personal radio to listen through headphones/earphones, the listener will soon realise that the sound is purely mono. After so many deacades listening to the spread of stereo sound, some may find it distinctly uncomfortabe listening for any length of time to find the sound seemingly coming from a mere pinpoint in the centre of the head. There are some other portable radios of comparative price on the Amazon site which are of metal/wood construction and which have twin speakers, which Amazon customers review as having ample stereo sound. For some 'maturer' listeners, although there is an attached hand-strap for carrying from the wrist, the weight of this ROBERTS radio is rather heavier than smaller models -especially when optional batteries have been inserted. However, in comparison with smaller, lighter models, these possible deficits are far outweighed by the benefits of the ease of operation of this ROBERTS model -and especially the comparitively larger button sizes. In summary, this retro-looking ROBERTS portable radio should prove more than satisfying in providing easily accessed enjoyable listening at a very reasonable price.

This is a second purchase of this item. An easy to operate radio with good sound quality and easy tuning. I use on mains adapter so can't comment on battery life. Compact, good reception for fm/dab radio. Nicely designed and unobtrusive.
