Not bad; smaller that advertised spec.

Reviewed in Australia on 12 October 2020

Verified Purchase

This DAB+ radio is and does what the spec. claims, with one exception.
Its dimensions are not what the spec states; the physical radio and not its packing box, are, in millimetres;
137 wide x 71 high x 32 deep. Its speaker diameter is c.46 mm. That is why I did not give it 5 stars.
Nevertheless, it can achieve quite a loud volume, which does not travel as far and radiate low frequencies as well when compared to that with a larger speaker.
DAB+ upside is that it locks onto the station frequency and does not drift like a cheap AM radio. The downside is that DAB+ signal reception strength needs to be strong.
Can be uses as an alarm clock and it battery life from full charge seems quite good.

very impressed with this compact and lightweight radio

Reviewed in Australia on 3 November 2020

Verified Purchase

I am very impressed with this compact and lightweight radio. I can get all the DAB and FM channels I want with the aerial fully extended. The audio is very clear and it is great that I can listen to the radio with headphones. I am also very impressed that it can pick up both DAB and FM radio stations.

This will be a valuable item during a power outage. It is portable, but can be recharged.

Solidly built, compact DAB

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 July 2020

Verified Purchase

Arrived bang on time, well done to the supplier and Amazon. Had no accompanying documentation, but arrived in it's box, but it was clearly brand new and unopened. first impressions , very heavy and well put together. Didn't bother with the rudimentary instructions, but played around and figured out easily enough how to store stations. Required at least half of the arial deployed, but that is to be expected.
Haven't delved into the sleep and alarm settings, but I found them easily enough, and should I ever need them, they seem simple enough to use.
Sound is perfectly adequate, my Roberts play is a little bassy and muffled compared to this.
Have yet to really test out the battery life, but it arrived 3/4 charged, I then listened to the test cricket for 4 hours and the meter hadn't moved, which augers well.
One thing that puzzled me, but isn't a big issue, the 4 way dial seemed to have things around the wrong way. I would have had the volume buttons up and down and the station buttons left and right, but not really a problem.
Absolutely delighted with it, especially for £25.

Could have been great

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 February 2020

Verified Purchase

This radio could be perfect but unfortunately let down by poor workmanship because the headphone jack does not work, yes it does have good points FM is good DAB is good as well as is sound quality from the small speaker, (I prefer to listen privately via headphones) but another issue that is a strange whining sound when changing brightness to low, that's two faults, and hence a deal breaker for me, I hate returning thing's I just want them to work so pretty annoyed and therefore I cannot recommend a radio that is unable to even get the headphone jack right (never encountered this issue before) sorry

Radio Dab FM RDS Ottimo Rapporto Qualità Prezzo Promossa a pieni Voti

Reviewed in Italy on 8 February 2020

Verified Purchase

August MB 225 Radio Digitale Dab+ FM RDS Stereo, Risponde in pieno alla descrizione del Venditore, arriva in una scatola di Cartone Bianco molto curata con dentro una sagoma in spugna che ripara la radio da eventuali urti con cavetto microusb un po' corto ed un manualetto Rapido ed un Certificato di Garanzia con alcune informazioni sul Produttore.
Appena arrivata (Spedizione con Amazon Prime come sempre impeccabile) l'ho subito provata, la batteria era quasi carica del tutto, iconcina sul Display, tenuta accesa quasi tutto il pomeriggio dalle 15:30 fino verso le 21:30 ed era scesa alla metà della carica principalmente con Ascolto in FM dato che in Dab in ambiente chiuso non prendeva tanto bene, posizionata vicino alla finestra la ricezione in Dab era Buona. ANTENNA abbastanza lunga e bidirezionabile, molto stabile su un piano di appoggio presenta sotto due piedini in gomma, ha la Funzione RDS sia in FM e logicamente anche in Dab con tutte le informazioni che trasmettono le emittenti, ha la funzione Sleep e Sveglia, la retroilluminazione su 3 livelli, Display a matrice di punti Blu con scritte bianche, si vede molto bene anche da lontano, sulla parte superiore sono presenti 4 tasti rapidi programmabili più il tasto di accensione se viene premuto una volta la Radio va in Standbay, se si tiene premuto per qualche secondo la Radio si smorza totalmente (ho notato che in questo caso perde alcune impostazioni) meglio lasciarla in Standbay anche perché la batteria non si scarica più di tanto (l'ho caricata al Max e l'ho lasciata un giorno intero in Standbay e la batteria non era scesa minimamente) ha la presa cuffia classica da 3,5mm, Presa Microusb di Ricarica con Specifica 5V 1A con Audio Buono sia con Altoparlante e sia in Cuffia, Stereo, si possono memorizzare 20 stazioni in FM e 20 in Dab piu che sufficienti, ha la funzione di ricerca (Tutte le stazioni) o solo quelle più forti, i tasti funzionano bene hanno un bel Feedback, molto precisi, non c'è niente che si muove o vibra, assemblata bene e con buoni materiali.
Sono sincero...credevo che era la solita Radiolina Cinese con in più la funzione del Dab, invece ha superato le mie aspettative.
Ho atteso qualche giorno prima di fare una recensione per vedere se presentava problemi, ma devo affermare che funziona in maniera egregia, si può paragonare alla versione economica della Sony XDR-P1 che ho posseduto, molto Tascabile, Autonomia Ottima soprattutto in FM e ricca di Funzioni, vale tutti i Soldi Spesi.
Assolutamente Consigliata, la Ricomprerei ad occhi Chiusi.
Un plauso al Venditore molto attento alla Soddisfazione del Cliente, mi sono arrivate delle Email riguardanti appunto il fatto se io ero Soddisfatto del Prodotto e se avessi riscontrato problemi di Rispondere alla sopracitata Email, anche questo mi ha fatto molto Piacere.
Spero di essere stato Utile con questa Recensione, e mi riservo in Futuro di aggiornarla in caso ci fossero problemi.
Resto a disposizione per qualsiasi Info e/o Dubbi.

built really sturdy on first impressions and so far iv been using it on and off all week and its only at half battery including 6 hours today. really impressed for a little site radio its perfect. sound quality isn't the best but i didn't buy it for that i bought it for a cheap little radio that can be chucked in the tool box and recharged onsite using an 18v tool battery (with attachment) and for that its perfect and exceeds my expectations. dewalt can keep their 200 quid tstack radio ill take this thanks.

Its DAB, it looks very cool

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 August 2020

Verified Purchase

I got use to the controls now, double press then single press
Its small and heavy in your hand
Sound quality is ok, not as good as my smart speakers
I'll have to get used to it, before I make a final assessment on the sound quality
What does Sheerness mean? That's an option in the review section. Plain English Amazon please.
I haven't checked out battery life yet
I'm giving it a 4 for now
I need to listen to the radio more. I would give 3.5 if that was an option
It does look very cool
and If you were brought up on RADIO as I was then YES buy one
but a smart speaker via your phone would sound better.
maybe I'm being too hash.
I will listen more. I did buy something else and the sound was not perfect at first but after a week or two later
when I set the setting correctly it did improve to my ears and the family's .
So it could be the case with this DAB/FM radio. So yes buy one, and judge for yourself.
It would be perfect for picnics, or night shift workers and I did 14 years of nights, so a radio is a godsend.
