excellent radio

Advantages: Very light and easy to use
Disadvantages: None noticed yet

I was looking for a DAB portable radio for quite a long time. My husband loves listening to 5 Live. He has about 4 radios in the house and he has them all on at the same time to listen to football results in every room. Of cause the problem was when he had to go out he would miss all the scores. With Christmas coming I decided to buy one. I did a lot of research and read a lot of reviews. I thought this one looked ideal and I managed to get it for ...
...and cost me £70. I can say now after a month of using it, it proved to be a very good purchase. Some of the reviews I'd red made some negative comments about the quality of sound, which proved to be excellent. There was another concurn about on/off button not working proppely, which we found workes absolutely fine. I really like the disine, the front has got a very nice glass finish and it is very compact. The quality of sound is excellent! It is ...

Review of Philips DA1000

Philip's DAB1000 Radio

Advantages: Great Sound, Radio build quality
Disadvantages: Battery life, headphone socket location

I have owned one of these Phillips DAB1000 portable radios for a year now. I paid £35 on eBay, but they can go for as much as £70 on the high street. Supplied with the radio: Headphones, two rechargeable batteries, charger and a protective pouch. The radio to me feels sturdy and tough, i use mine on a daily bases when I'm on my tractor/mower in all weather conditions (Damp, Dust, Cold conditions) and it hasn't failed me yet. I only have two Qualms ...
...on the manufactures spec it has a 10 hour life...... More like 5! So i would recommend you carry a spare set of batteries with you. Second is the location of the headphone socket which is on the side of the radio, which makes it hard to get it into it's pouch. It would have been better on the top if you ask me? The sound of the of the DAB radio broadcasts is crystal clear Good treble and deep bass, You'd swear you where listening to a CD. The radio ...

Review of Philips DAB1000

Makes John Humphreys sound like a Dalek!

Advantages: Small, retro looks
Disadvantages: Terrible reception and awful headphones!

Like many people I leave my seaside abode and commute to the 'big smoke' and so spend a large proportion of my life on buses and trains. So to brighten up the journey I thought I would invest in a portable, personal radio so I can keep up to date with current affairs, and when I am feeling frivolous tune into Radio One. I purchased my small analogue Phillips AE6370 at John Lewis after looking at a range of radios, I chose the Phillips because in ...
...okay. Nitty gritty... ****What's it look like?**** It is grey about the 6 cm long and about 3.5 cm wide. It has a retro looking edge to it; an old fashioned looking dial shows you what frequency you are on. This was one of the things that attracted me to it in the first place. ****Features**** MW / FM stereo wavebands Dial tuning system Dynamic bass boost Rotary volume and tuning controls Pen type pocket clip Slim, compact design Complete with ...

Review of Philips AE6370

Pure 1500 handheld DAB / FM Radio

Advantages: Good Quality reception, easy to use.
Disadvantages: Navigator button too small, On the expensive side, No case included with radio

I purchased a Pure 1500 Handheld DAB / FM Radio and had it for one week as I did not get on very well with the buttons. I consequently found something else in its place. Here is the lowdown of the Pure 1500 handheld DAB Radio. What it does: FM and DAB with RDS (Radio Data System) which displays the radio broadcast data, ie: The station name, song data, artist data etc. Rechargable battery which boasts to last for upto 24 hours using DAB. 20 Presets ...
...favourite stations can be stored and accessed at the touch of one button. 5 EQ Settings Hardware: The casing is made from metal and was slightly bigger than I was anticipating. The device has plastic silver buttons (which seemed a bit tacky and I am not sure why they didn't use metal buttons instead (maybe a weight issue)). For my fingers, it seemed to be a bit of a chore using the middle navigator button flicking from left to right, up and down ...

Review of Pure Digital Pocket DAB 1500

BIT OLD IN DESIGN BUT ACTIVE

Advantages: durable with nice analogue turner.
Disadvantages: old fashioned and noisy.

...THE WALKMAN. The Sony walk man stereo comes in a light green colour and with headphone stereo then by the side of the stereo, there is a black design. The most of all is the simple rectangular shape it has and that is what entices me about the music piece. Light in weight and very convenient to take about. The Sony SFR-S84/N plays its role mainly on receiving signals like the AM and FM receptions and does not come with a cassette player and this ...
...THE FUNCTIONS. The Sony Walkman works mainly as a station receiver. It has the capabilities of getting stations like FM and other medium frequencies and on the same time, is one of the easiest devices to use. But In the overall functions, it is specifically a radio for capturing stations. Just like I wrote above, it has a yellow plastic across the tiny tuning area and this makes the tuning more accurate and specific. The reception quality of the ...
