5.0 out of 5 stars Quality compact radio from Sony, 12 Jun 2008
I have been very happy with this radio since I purchased it. The build quality and sound quality are far better than many more expensive DAB/FM radios, plus it's perfect for travelling as it is very compact. Reception is also spot on - 100% reception quality on all the DAB stations available in my area.

After reading about the short battery life on here, I decided to use non-rechargeable Energizer Ultimate Lithium 'Digital' batteries (currently use them in a digital camera). They are claimed to last up to seven times longer than 'normal' alkaline batteries. I can vouch for this as I haven't yet had to replace the batteries after many hours of use.

I am happy to recommend this DAB radio to people who are looking for a small DAB radio with built-in FM and good sound quality.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Product, 21 Mar 2008
This was my first DAB radio, bought to replace a cheap old AM/FM one used in the bathroom.

Very pleased with the appearance, build quality, sound quality and ease of use. The only problem is the short battery life (which I understand is an issue with most DAB radios) and, as it is being used in a bathroom, I can't use the mains adaptor. I am now using 2700mah rechargeables which has helped, but it still gets through them quite fast.

Worth noting that when you are changing batteries you need to insert the new ones within a minute or so of taking out the old ones or all your presets will be lost.

Overall a very good item and it would have had 5 stars if I didn't have to rely on battery power.

4.0 out of 5 stars Probably the best travel DAB radio, 29 April 2008
By Radex (Londonderry, Londonderry United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Excellent build quality, simple to operate, very good clear sound from a very good speaker, clear digital display with the ability to increase the size of the display characters. 4 x AA Alkaline batteries last about 8 hours. There is no RDS on FM. It is principally a DAB radio, with the FM band as a back-up for use when you cannot receive DAB signals. There is an odd design flaw. You must not - according to the instructions - switch on the mains adapter while the batteries are in. Most radios have an electronic gate which automatically disconnects the batteries when the mains adaptor is plugged in. This radio does not, and you could damage it if you forget to remove the batteries before switching the mains on.
Also, when replacing the batteries, or changing to mains power, you must do it within one minute or lose all your settings. However, these irritations do not detract from the fact that this is the best travel DAB radio, with very good DAB reception, an essential travel lock, a compact size [about the size of a paperback book], and a well designed simple to operate system.
