Sony XDRS1,
This review is from: Sony XDR-S1 DAB Digital Radio (Electronics)
I initally purchased a Ferguson(crown) DAB from dixons being told that it was a very good radio, well I couldn't receive any channels despite the postcode search telling me I should, about as much use as a chocolate fire guard comes to mind, so I took it back the next day.I decided to up my budget, and was torn between an evoke 2 and the sony, well all I can say is that the sony is an excellent radio, clear reception, good looks and simple to use. The sound from this portable is quite exceptional and all the stations popped up straight away, the remote is simple and efficient and is a really worth while item if you are a channel hopper like me. If it could be powered by battery it would get 10 out of 10.

Good Product---Recommended,
By DAB Junkie (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sony XDR-S1 DAB Digital Radio (Electronics)
Pros:Very sleek design Solid build Excellent reception (easily picks up all the DAB stations in my area) Crystal clear sound Multi-functions: line-in, line-out, optical-out, timer, etc. Cons: Mega Bass is a poor apology for real punchy bass Built-in handle is user-unfriendly Information and presets will be lost if unplugged or in case of power failure. Still a bit pricy Overall: Good product---Recommended!

Sony XDR-S1 DAB Radio,
By P.A. Morris (England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sony XDR-S1 DAB Digital Radio (Electronics)
The radio is superb in both build quality and sound reproduction, and looks great. The Mega base pumps out an astounding heavy sound considering the speakers are only 2.3 watt, with more than enough volume for any size room. But the main beauty of this radio is the analogue and DAB radio combined. Should your favourite programme not be avaialble on DAB, it's easy to switch to analogue at the press of a button! The unit can store 40 pre-set stations too! Ten on each wave band.The digital display is very well defined with large letters and numbers, but not too large to be intrusive. If there's a down side to this unit, it's the lack of battery power for true portability, and there's not even a battery back-up to retain station memory should the mains power fail. Overall I would not rate this unit as one of the best I've used, but with time Sony should come up with the goods. I just hope they read people's reviews on their products.
