Roberts Radio has been manufacturing radios since 1932, so if you\u2019re after a DAB radio from a reputable brand, you arguably can\u2019t get better than Roberts. This compact radio \u2014 measuring just 21.4cm in length, 12.5cm in height, and 9cm in width \u2014 is perfect if you want to use it in a space with little room, such as a kitchen. One of our RadioTimes.com<\/a> writers owns this radio, and swears by its brilliant volume range and small footprint. However, when researching the reviews, a frequent complaint was that the battery life is relatively short, lasting just a few hours.<\/p>\n

The Roberts Revival iStream comes with a hefty price tag, however we think it\u2019s worth it. Not only is it wonderful to look at \u2014 the 1950s-inspired smart radio comes in stunning colourways such as Sunburst Yellow, Berry Red and Duck Egg \u2014 but it has a whole host of innovative functions, too.<\/p>\n
The DAB radio has built-in Spotify, Amazon Music and Deezer streaming services, as well as over 20,000 internet radio stations and thousands of podcasts. Plus, it\u2019s Bluetooth compatible, so you can connect your smartphone and listen to exactly what you want, whether that\u2019s Britney Spears\u2019s Everytime on repeat (we won\u2019t judge). One of our RadioTimes.com<\/strong> writers owns this radio and loves how user-friendly it is. The buttons are clearly labelled, and the screen size is large so it\u2019s easy to read.<\/p>\n

In comparison to the Spectrum Solo Portable DAB+\/FM Digital Radio which weighs just 0.35kg, the Ruark Audio R1 Mk4 Deluxe Bluetooth Radio is quite hefty at 1.5kg, although this is potentially the only downfall. The wireless DAB radio boasts adaptive EQ, which adjusts the frequencies in music to offer a more consistent listening experience, and is used by companies such as Apple in its products. The radio also has an easy-to-use control system, and functions like an alarm and Bluetooth receiver.<\/p>\n

The great thing about the Roberts Radio site is that it includes customer reviews (and plenty of them), so you can take a look at what other people have thought about the product before you buy. The Revival Uno BT is a take on the classic Revival, except it\u2019s 35 per cent smaller. Where it squeezes on the size, however, it doesn\u2019t skip on the quality. You can listen to DAB, DAB+ and FM stations in crystal clear audio, and there\u2019s the option to save your favourite pre-set stations for easy, one-touch access.<\/p>\n

Powerful sound is produced from a three-inch full range speaker and a bass reflex port, and it has 20W of audio power.<\/p>\n
