    5.0 out of 5 stars Suddenly DAB seems worthwhile, 8 Nov 2007
    By A Common Reader "Committed to reading" (Sussex, England) - See all my reviews
    (TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
    I have been unconvinced about DAB radio for sometime now, not liking the delay on power-up, the heavy battery demands, the incorrect time-signals, the poor reception etc, etc. FM seems a simple system that just WORKs, and as they say, if it ain't broke don't fix it.

    However, I've now bought my second DAB radio and its this little beauty and I'm beginning to think again about DAB. Basically, this radio does everything it is claimed to do, and does it beautifully and with style. The controls are easy to use, the sound is excellent through the Sennheiser earphones, and most importantly, the rechargeable power-pack puts battery worries out of the window. You don't even have to remove the powerpack, you just plug the radio into the charger like a mobile phone.

    One of the most important features of a pocket DAB for me is ease of use in the dark (I listen in the middle of the night in bed sometimes). It is easy to use this radio - the toggle button gives access to volume and channel, and you only have to press the preset button to be able to move through your presets with the toggle. I have a blind friend and know that he would have no trouble with this radio. The power-pack gives a reasonable battery life (I seem to have to charge-up about once a week), and there is a power guage on the display to warn you when it is running low.

    OK, so its still got the annoyances of all DAB radios - the three second lag behind FM and the patchy reception (try going on a train journey with it and see how many DAB dead-spots you'll find on the way). But in this case, I like the simple functionality of this radio. Its not a phone. Its not an mp3 player, or a pocket notebook. Its just a perfectly simple radio which does exactly what it says on the box. Highly recommended for those who want a pocket DAB radio.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Superb Sound Quality & Reception!, 8 Mar 2007
    By Scriabinmahler (Cambridge UK) - See all my reviews
    (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   

    First I was suspicous of this new model due to the first negative review, but my suspition proved pointless when I actually bought the item encouraged by the following positive reviews.

    I live in Cambridgeshire where Classic FM and BBC Radio 3 receptions are notoriously poor with ordinary FM tuners. But with this DAB radio, reception is near perfect with high reception level. No inerference even with my PC at my work place. Only occasionally it gets interference in some parts of shops, builings or on bus where interfering signals come and go. But normally that's what happens with any DAB radios.

    I listen only to classic music and some jazz music, and sound is superb with enough detail and warmth if you set the bass boost on.

    Only difficulty I found is that the sliding lid for the rechargable battery never opens again once it's closed. I had to struggle to re-open it for an hour until I stuck a lump of blue-tack on it to force it open without damaging it!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Good but not quite perfect!, 29 Jun 2007
    By Chris S "Axholme Miller" (North Lincs, England.) - See all my reviews
    I purchased this radio as a replacement after my original one, a Ferguson, was stolen. First of all, the sound quality is infinitely better than my original purchase and it has the welcome addition of FM. I also like the text scrolling which enables me to read quickly what's happening on a particular station. My only gripe is the cost of the leather case, which costs £14.99, a bit pricey considering the cost of the radio at £79! Having said that I'll probably invest in one to protect this quality purchase. All in all then a fine product, extremely suitable for catching the latest football scores whilst watching my favourite football team.
