The radio is great quality; intuitive menus, fab reception (in and around Cheltenham), great clarity. I swapped the Philips earphones, which are ok, for Sony MDR-EX71SLs. These seemed to hang onto good reception longer (probably because they are physically longer).
The major let down is the battery life. I get about 2 hours of DAB out of one charge. Other makes go for a three battery configuration; maybe Philips should have done the same.

I bought one of these pocket DAB radios. For about ten days it worked just fine and then after about 10 minutes use it emitted a high pitched whine and stopped working. The only way to switch it off was to remove the batteries. Amazon were great in replacing the faulty radio but - guess what? - the replacement arrived and would not work! I switched it on, the display said "welcome", blanked out of all text but stayed illuminated and nothing else happened. Again, I had to remove the batteries just to switch the thing off. After getting two faulty units, I'm not going to give it a third try and I've asked for a refund.
Buy something else!

We have a large mains powered DAB radio in the bedroom which is OK. Needed a unit for listening to the Test match outside so purchased the Phillips.
Very neat and easy to use. Good reception in South Birmingham. Excellent FM recption as well.
Fits inside coat pocket and battery life is good.
Mains charger light as well so unit good for travelling.
Car has Aux socket and works well in good reception area's. Will recommend.

Living on the isle of wight (sandown) this radio is almost useless. Virtually nothing can be received and if a signal is forthcoming it will break up very quickly. Read more
