    DAB radios are very heavy on batteries so allow for this.

    Depends which model ,i get 19 hours out of my Roberts R519 Gemini which i find very acceptable from 4 AA rechargables.

    This looks decent for £20 so hot from me.

    These the same as the ones Ebay had on deal?

    Power output of 300 mW RMS doesn't sound great to me ( no pun intended ) or is this a new way of stating it ?

    Approximately 8 hours life from 6xAA alkaline batteries according to the manual. Not great really.

    Just Wondered If Anyone has this and the Halfords deal on the AE5010/05
    would only use on mains, looking at the spec except for size they are the same on output but wondered on sound if this has a better bass response - Any Info Appreciated from someone who has both - have read refviews here

    great design, but need to know what the sound quality is like. The whole point of DAB is it's supposed to sound much better than analogue, so all these manufacturers selling DAB radios with mono speakers or poor quality speakers really defeats the purpose of DAB.

    Why are they banned, just out of curiosity? They've got 5322 feedback, 99.8% of that positive, and the detailed seller ratings are about as high as you could get.

    I ordered one from them for £19.99 on Friday, it was sent, no postage charge, the same day via DPD (a very decent carrier), and it will be with me tomorrow. Can't really get much better than that, can it? :)

    It may make little difference in reality if you accept the arguments about the impact of reduced bit-rate transmissions on DAB sound quality.

    No, that's not the point at all, the point is to cram as many low bitrate stations into as small a spectrum as possible, oh, and sell off the rest of the frequency for as much as possible.

    yeah that's the more cynical version which might be true, but hope my version of the story i.e. better quality sound, come out on top :p

    .... and so manufacturers can have the chance of ripping everybody off for a new generation of radios. DAB rafios have been overpriced for years
