PLAY11 FM/DAB/DAB+ Digital Portable Radio, Black

Excellent sound for its size. Perfect for my needs at a very reasonable price.

What I really like: - The UI is really easy to use. I love the 2 dial knobs, for finding radio stations and Volume control. - I personally like the controls at the top. - The cloth front side looks nice and smart ( like a speaker grill , kind of). - DAB radio is fantastic for me in my area - Sound quality is quite good. Downside : - Only minor for is me the mono speaker. However at this price, you can’t expect stereo sound. Side note - I’ve only used this radio with Mains power. So not tried performance with batteries. However I’m very pleased with main power performance.

I've started getting more into radio since moving out and living alone, I wanted a nice battery powered radio to use in my kitchen. This is a very nice looking radio, and I'm a huge fan of how simple and easy the user interface is. The build quality feels solid, all the buttons are decent quality. Only thing I don't like is how the battery cover is very hard to open once batteries are installed. The radio reception is excellent, haven't had any issues with finding stations or dropping out. Battery life with decent rechargables (2500mAh) is about a week of usage (4 hours daily). I saw some reviewers complaing about this - but compared to bluetooth speakers I have which need charging every few days I'm more than happy with this battery life. Audio quality is... okay. I wouldn't go quite as far to call it tinnny but it's definitely lo-fi and devoid of bass. It's still servicable (and I was still dancing in my kitchen to this radio!), but it was this aspect that made me upgrade to the Roberts Rambler Uno which is a similar size but night and day difference in terms of audio quality. But that's to be expected when the Rambler Uno is over double the price (£110). I still really love this radio, but it's become my "background" radio now I have on in bed or when I'm at my computer which I think it's perfect for. For the audio quality you get I think the RRP of £50 (I paid £45) is too steep, but at the time of writing this review it's on sale on Amazon for £30 which I think is a perfect price, considering it's still a very nicely designed radio with a well thought out user interface.

Fantastic DAB radio. What an amazing purchase. Great sound, easy to use with a great quality sound.

Absolute rubbish! I brought this to have on for my dogs while I am at work. It won't run off the batteries so has to be plugged in but it is always losing the channels so it switches itself off! Can't even hold Radio 2 so it's completely useless.

Brilliant. Nice and compact.

This looks nice and is simple. I use plugged in at home. The sound is actually quite poor and muffled even though it will go up loud. Also it keeps turning itself off which is very annoying, i am tempted to return it if I can't find out why.

We live around 35 miles from the main DAB transmitter and have tried various DAB and DAB+ radios over the years. None of them have worked well with continuous drop outs on both BBC and independent channels - even when using a roof mounted VHF/DAB aerial. This is the first one which actually works as it should using the attached telescopic aerial. We are very pleased and have now purchased a second one and can enjoy the much better choice of channels around the house. Battery life is often an issue with DAB but this radio runs on good quality rechargeable ones when necessary but we mostly use the USB power supply socket. It won't recharge those batteries but makes it a mains radio when plugged in to a USB C cable from a phone charger or 13amp socket plate with USB outlets. Very pleased so far as reception so good in a fringe area however, I can only speak as I find.

يشتغل كويس ومصنوع بشكل انيق وحجمه حلو، يجي معاه سلك يو اس بي للتشغيل او تحطون فيه بطاريات ويشتغل، مشكلته ما يستقبل ترددات الراديو اللي بالمنطقة جربته بالرياض والشرقية والصوت مشوش يا دوب تشتغل قناة القران الكريم لازم اخليه جنب النافذة او افتح الباب

Dat dit Geen dab+ radio is terwijl dit wel aangegeven staat

Have many DAB+ radios from Sony, Roberts and Panasonic. This little radio has the quickest startup time and doesn't need it's aerial up unlike all the Panasonic's and Sony's, none of my Roberts radios do but others are way more expensive. (I live in a fringe reception area and it found all stations) This is a small radio so don't expect huge sound but it is perfectly adequate. The USB C power cord is a really handy and I hope all manufacturers take this path. It is a shame that it doesn't have the ability to charge rechargeable batteries in the unit but I knew that before purchasing. At time of writing I could not find any reviews, so FIRST! EDIT: This radio chews the batteries MUCH faster than Sonys that also use 4AA batteries.

Sehr guter dab+ Empfang. Verarbeitung und Gehäusematerial ist top. Gerät ist sehr handlich, für Terrasse oder Mitnahme im Rucksack bei Wanderungen ideal. Klangqualität ist akzeptabel für seinen Zweck.
