Review: Great little pocket radio - Great little radio for listening to either sport or music. Switched the included earbuds which unfortunately hurt my ears a little for a pair of decent Sony ones and found the sound to be brilliant. The screen is very clear and the radio is very easy to set up. It is just about the best pocket radio I have owned and I have had a few. There is no inbuilt rechargeable battery but just charging up your own rechargeable batteries and fitting them is no hardship and you don’t generally lose your preset stations when removing batteries and fitting new ones. At least I haven’t yet. It is a little chunky but appears well made and I am delighted with my purchase
Review: Nice size, Good sound. What more do you want? - I bought this to replace a faulty Aves Air that I had to return.This was one of the few pocket DAB radios that had DAB+. Another plus point is that it doesn't take a silly battery pack that costs £10 and means waiting hours for it to recharge. First impressions.Nice and compact. I like the presets and on/off buttons on the top. Volume control on the left side and the 'jog' switch on the right. The jog control takes a little getting used to. To scroll through stations, either rotate up or down. To change screen options (like scrolling text) press inwards until the desired text is displayed. To access menus (including moving to/from FM to DAB), press and hold inwards.I'm not sure how long this control would last out, if you were too heavy handed with it. I had it out of the plastic blister (be careful opening it!) and working in 30 seconds, after inserting 2 AA's in the battery compartment and plugging in my usual earphones.Switch it on and it starts scanning DAB.I find the supplied earphones a bit uncomfortable. 5 presets on each on DAB and FM. Adequate for me, as I only listen to a few stations.To store presets, tune to the station you want, then press and hold down the appropriate preset. Sound is clear and crisp. No equaliser on it, but a DRC control is one of the menu options. It only has an effect on some stations. 2 things would make this perfect for me. 1) I find the display keeps defaulting to the rolling text, which I find annoying. If you change it to text that is 'still', it doesn't seem to 'remember' that choice. Doesn't matter whether this is from DAB to FM or vice-versa and also when you switch it on to start with, it's the same.According to Roberts, this cannot be changed.I did ask them to, pointing out that other radios (including their own), will 'remember' if you change it. 2) A socket for a mains adaptor (optional) to recharge batteries 'in-situ', rather than having to remove and replace them each time. All in all, a nice radio and worthy of consideration.As mentioned above (and by other reviewers), using rechargable batteries is highly recommended.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ great radio.....very poor earphones
*by N***S on 1 December 2023*

I bought this radio to listen to post-match interviews etc on my way home from football matches. i tune in to my local BBC station and can usually hear match commentary and half time summary whilst at the game if I choose to. It works very well. The reception is great and the battery life is excellent...given that I only use it for an hour or two each week. But it only gets 4 stars because the supplied earphones are of *very* poor build quality. An elasticated cover is all that holds them together and these covers easily and repeatedly come off, leaving the earphone speaker hanging by its wires. The radio is not cheap.....but the earphones certainly are and they let down the company big time. UPDATE : 16 months later the radio is still working brilliantly and I am STILL using the original batteries !! I have purchased a better quality pair of earphones, because despite contacting the company (Roberts) I am still waiting for them to send me promised replacements for the very poor ones which were supplied. If you're happy to spend a bit extra for decent earphones, this radio is proving to be a great purchase.
