DAB radio was a stuff that I never dreamt of getting until when a friend recommended that to me some few months ago. Well I was strongly in doubt of the radio because of the shape that I never liked and the weight was too light for a radio. Well the DAB radio arrived some few years ago, which is capable of giving more than 50 local stations. EASE OF USE. ---------------------- Well the DAB radio is a device that does not give problems in using ...
...the most important thing about the DAB radio is that it carries waves along with date and time information accurately and this has helped me in different occasions for accountability. It automatically scans the airwave for the date and time to come in a more accurate form and comfortably displays both features on the nice blue screen. Although that most of the in formations brought by the DAB does appear in a blue screen, it is far very bright for ... Read review

Advantages: Good connectivity with other devices. Good sound quality.
Disadvantages: A bit pricey, would be nice if they included some more leads.

...have recently been given a Roberts RD25 (or Roberts 'Gemini 25') by my mum. She was given it by someone but did not want it, the person that gave it her was given two digital radios for Christmas. I am going to buck the trend and keep it for myself because I think it is great. -What is it?- This is a combined digital and analogue radio, which has a few other useful features which I will go into in more detail. Apart from receivng standard MW/FM ...
...and loved by older generations. roberts have seen a revival in recent years and this has been helped by the advent of digital radio and also by our love of retro styling. Roberts produce some really nice wood and leather finished radios (now with digital capabilities as well as MW/FM/LW/UHF) that make anyone over 35 hark back to a more innocent age, and a tear of nostalgia well up in one's eye, the RD 25 however is a different beast all together. ...

Advantages: Great sound, very easy to use, not a bad price, compact, loads of channels
Disadvantages: Plastic

...decided to go for the Pure Digital One priced at just under £50 and hoped that it would fit the bill. This radio was in either white or black plastic. I decided that the black would probably be more serviceable as white often yellows with time and the white one looked a little tacky. The black was a shiny black that did look and feel rather lightweight and was a bit too plasticy looking also, if you know what I mean. Still four months down the road ...
...Whether you listen to this Pure Digital One radio with the volume full on or turned down very low the sound is perfect. Recommended as a good value buy with excellent performance. My one quibble is that as it is made from lightweight material it will not be tough and resistant to accidents. Check out www.pure.com for other digital radios by the maker.

Advantages: Good standard DAB unit with the bonus of mains/hand recharging
Disadvantages: No carrying handle

...people at Freeplay. The Freeplay is a chunky but very compact radio, with inbuilt rechargeable batteries, ready to be used: - On AC - which will also recharge the batteries - On DC, with about 7-8 hours of DAB listening from a full charge - On DC with no listening limits but the occasional hand crank! DAB gives a range of standard and additional channels and a 'binary' listening experience - if you can hear, the quality is excellent; or you ...
...fragile and temperamental. But Freeplay is totally devoted to this technology, and the result is best-of-breed. The handle is comfortable, strong and positive. Holding the rubberised knob you crank, with a charging light showing that you are making a difference! Crank in either direction, faster seeems to charge quicker. And unlike some early Freeplay radios, you can charge and listen at the same time, although there is an inevitable whizzing sound ... Read review
