Cracking little thing for the money

Cool 8)

Got mine this morning and it's a nice little system. Even though it's only 10w, it sounds pretty much on par with the 25w system it's replacing. The only downside is the LCD display looks a bit crap.

Oooh "Lego" speaker. Hopefully I'll not stand on any of the bricks when putting it together

Gone.

Expired

Had the bigger R4 before nice sound but i sold it back on ebay for a profit, they hold there money.

They have a Emma Bridgewater one at £30 after using the voucher still in stock.

Thanks.

Which one did you get?link?

Never bought this but got a similar one for £23.99 using the code so thanks for pointing in the right direction.

stupid, stupid person. Roberts are the leaders in this field. Good God man.

Oh dear

Stupid price, Roberts living in yesteryear. Voted cold.Its DAB radio with a "Roberts" logo - talk about milking the brand name, you are paying £100 just for that silly little Roberts badge.

Why are people voting cold.It's at least £30 cheaper than everywhere else.

My majority eats batteries - 4 brand new batteries are dead in about 20 minutes - have used good rated brands & rechargable batteries - I was using a am/fm superradio from radio shack in the Usa for about 13 years - bought some cheap pansonic batteries in the Dollar shop in the US when I bought the radio - didnt have to change the batteries for 6 Years yes you heard right 6 years & used constantly for about 2 hours a day, couldnt believe that they were lasting so long, then replaced with some cheap Tesco batteries that lasted for another 7 years, when replaced the batteries again the radio failed which is fair enough after almost 14 years of working perfectly - the Superradio was the best rated on Amazon back in 2000's when Amazon reviews were somewhat believeable - don't trust them now. I refuse to use the Majority even on electricty as a radio shouldnt need massive amounts of power & its seems all these Dab radios eat batteries at least my Majority little shelford does and its highly rated on amazon - its the final nail in the coffin for Amazon reviews as far as I'm concerned now aswell.

Oos...

same u get what u pay for

My experience of this company too.

I've 2 units also, car and portable, top quality with great UK support if you need it maxmix

How long does the battery last before a charge,as I have another model and it lasts about 3 hours.

Yup they do a load of bbc radio stations, just click the search bar and search. No problem

BBC local radio. I’ll have a look at Garden Radio. Thanks (y)

Mine arrived too in Norwegian, the packing slip had instructions on how to change it. Not looked for or spotted an equaliser. Working great around the house, will take it on my run later which is what I got it for and see how it handles that.

Got mine this morning, ideal for my car using lead connected to input on radio (old car no dab). Only question is, where is the equaliser in menu cannot find it? Anyway its great for price, heat added!

I've got this..excellent little system.and plays mp3 via usb port with no issues.

I love CDs, particularly pre 'loudness war' originals from the 80s. Feel sorry for the people who've fallen for the great vinyl scam peddled by the record companies.

Who listens to CDs? How about people who have been buying and listening to CDs for the last 30+ years and want to continue to listen to them? And it does play CD-R with MP3.

We've got this, good wee bit of kit with a handy remote. Got it from the Panasonic ebay outlet for £45 in 2018, though they don't seem to have them currently.

Ok I get the DAB but who listens to CD's anymore unless it plays MP3's?

169£ its not 135.£ spam there :(

£155 now.

Great stereo and a good price use mine daily had it two years now

I bought the tstak variant, it’s class, but daft money for a big bulky radio. Got it cranked up in the garden now.

Great speaker for the money. When I had it it was just a bit too heavy for me. It's a beast. However it's great for the garden, camping anything outdoors. It is loud and the battery lasts for ages. I'd buy it again if I needed it, have my eyes on the tstak version but refuse to pay the money for it.

Great radio - fantastic sound. However, cheaper on Amazon at the moment.

Yeh, better to buy Sony or Phillips (lol)

Yes! Forgot to mention Spotify Connect... which is a must for spotify users - you can fling it over to the radio and save battery from bluetooth/spotify app on your phone

Annoyingly wont ship to UK

I got 93i a few years ago. Brilliant bit of kit. I am sure it was around £130 though, so this seems expensive, although you have to factor in the (perhaps un-necessary) clock thing?

No , I have one and have to put it face down each night because it's bright other than that it's a great alarm clock

Oos

Can you adjust the brightness?

Got this from sainsburys. Looks nice but the display is really bad and difficult to read in the daytime.

Thanks (highfive)

Have some heat, not a great selection of radio alarm clocks these days. The new echo dot with clock is a tough one to compete with though, but not everyone is comfortable with smart speakers.

Hopefully it doesn't play JUST Ed Sheeran - just a little joke (cheeky) I usually have my DAB burbling away all afternoon till I put the news on at 6.

Quality item. Sounds so good for which a small radio. Very impressed. Did I read somewhere can get a 2 pin adapter for shaver socket for this or is this what my dreams have come to now? I googled it couldn’t find anything. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

but why was it cheaper at 29.95 now 30.95, surely it should be the other way round lol...

Quicker postage if you’re a Prime member. Also, most likely easier to return if you happen to change your mind/have an issue.

500 degrees when its a fiver cheaper on ebay,hmmmmm.

Only 4x AA batteries. 4x 2000mAh for £5.44 here: https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/544-energizer-aa-x-4-rechargeable-batteries-499-nonprime-3433516

Mine’s still sat in its box as my car has been in for repairs for 8 weeks now. Had hoped to fit during the lockdown but looks like I’ll squeeze into a weekend when all’s back up and running. Hope it works ok as it’ll be past return window if anything isn’t tip top!

Gone back up to 79.95 :(

I can't see why a convertible would be any different to anything else assuming there is some trim on the inside of the A pillar to run the cable for the windscreen antenna. HINT: If this this comes with one of those aerials that is supposed to magnetically stick to the underside of the roof, then just ditch it and get a £10 sticky windscreen aerial. Far, far better IMO so long as you make sure that you get a good ground contact with the A pillar. To make sure you do that, scrape paint off (UNDER THE TRIM!!) where the metal/copper tape is going to stick so that the tape contacts metal rather than paint. I've used cheapo DAB sticky aerials in two cars now and reception has been absolutely spot on. I think people who complain about cheap aerials don't understand how important it is to make a very good ground contact. I have one of these (but a lesser model) at the moment in my Volvo V50 plugged into the aux and use it 99% of the time when driving. It has been as good as my previous DAB head unit.

I haven't used one of these devices but I have DAB in my van and travel from Suffolk to The East Midlands up the M1 regularly. BBC stations are usually solid on the whole route and in Suffolk. Absolute Radio & XFM can be patchy here in Suffolk but once I get to civilisation they are fine. If you're cruising the M1 you should be getting good reception on a wide range of stations. I didn't stream nearly as much now that I can get clear reception on a series of DAB stations. (y)

Does anyone have any experience fitting one of these to a convertible?. I would like to upgrade my Audi A4 convertible. Thank you.
