£157 at PowertoolMate delivered.

Shame only charges the 18v batteries otherwise snap one of these up myself

Got 1 at work and it very loud and clear.

Good price for an excellent sounding site radio. Hot

Picked up a pair of these yesterday. Overall they compare well to the Andoer LH-811 cheap headphones. Sound quality is perfectly acceptable as long as you are not an audio snob. There is a little and consistent faint hum that you will notice during very quiet moments but it's not enough to become annoying. Batter life on the first use was around 5 and half hours, with volume at about 70%. Around 2 hours to a full charge. FM radio is useless. MP3 playback from 32Gb card works well although once you power off, when you start up again, playback resumes from the start, not from where you left off. Direct connection via cable does yield a slightly better sound and no humming. Adequately comfortable too. For 7 knicker, you can't really go wrong.

Thanks will check tomorrow :)

thats a good sign then. mayby I was too early in visiting instore. hopefully other stores will get some deliveries this week - pain to keep checking though...

There was a pallet worth on the shelves in the Edinburgh Piersfield Terrace store earlier.

yup, hence wanted to get instore. Looks like a ploy to get people to open accounts and entice them to get their food shopping with them :/

Nice, but an early 6am start though! Better set the alarm.

The item i bought is no longer available. This one is the same but a pound dearer, as long as its smb connector for Pioneer. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F231643651577 Just plugged it in with gps antenna still on it. I made one previously using the following instructions for a previous dab installation, worked slightly better just cut the gps antenna and use the cable/plug to make the diy dab antenna. https://www.my-gti.com/3691/adding-a-dabdab-aerial-diy

Would you mind posting a link to the antenna you used please? :D

The trick is buy the radio and get the rest elsewhere, I got a harness for my car from amazon on next day delivery for under 12 quid and it was a doddle to fit. I’m too tight to pay ten quid for a surround so have a 5mm gap underneath my stereo.

Bought one of these couple of months ago at this price. Only extra required was dab antenna. Used £4 gps antenna off ebay for this. Great sound and dab reception for the price.

I have one of these Roberts and its pretty good. However the aerial is just a wire that hangs out the back and can be difficult to get a signal. I also opted for one of these as it was portable and could use in garden: https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/audio-and-headphones/audio/radios/sandstrom-sfsdab17-portable-dab-fm-bluetooth-clock-radio-black-10156006-pdt.html Aerial is better, sound is better and its portable! They have a smaller cheaper version at about £35 if £50 is too much

I have this one and it's been great. I have seen reviews saying the On/Off switch breaks though. Not happened to me yet. I haven't used the alarm facility though (if there is one). I use my phone for that. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00UYKJUPW/ref=twister_B012WE380U?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 Definitely steer clear of the one in the OP. I have returned mine to Amazon today after (thankfully) the power connector broke away from the internal board. Terrible reception with the wire aerial, not intuitive menu system, if the radio does not pick up a station straight away when switching on you will need to set the time manually (which you will likely need the manual for) or find a station, switch it off and then on again. I am pretty sure it didn't change the time when the clocks changed too. The sound was poor to via the speaker - the Sony listed above is far better for sound and reception and is a lot smaller. I have ordered one of these to replace the Roberts as I want a travel one where I can see the time in the night. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B071PDW75M/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I have Pure Bug radio for home use which I have had for over 10 years - better sound than all the other radios I have had and easy to operate in the dark. If it broke I would probably buy this Sony https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B06XCLF1L7/ref=twister_B06XCG4PCW?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 which could be more what you are looking for though maybe too expensive.... but I could be tempted to buy another Pure Bug used from Ebay

This Roberts one has most of your requirements no alarm clock tho'... https://www.amazon.co.uk/Roberts-Radio-ECO4BT-Ecologic-Bluetooth/dp/B008VPCGHG same price at Co-op with reviews; https://electrical.coop.co.uk/Roberts-Eco4-BT-Black-Compact-Portable-DAB-DAB-FM-Radio-with-Bluetooth-rob-rad-eco4bt-bk Review here with alternatives; https://bestradios.co.uk/roberts-radio-eco4bt-ecologic-4-radio-review/

you could always buy an Amazon Alex Dot and use Radio Player skill....

Good to know. I have a Blu Tune 50 and while it's certainly functional, the DAB radio is useless and it lacks punch. Fine for a small party or streaming in the living room, but a bit meh.

One station that started 2 years ago in debris space. Its gone up to 32kbps, them finding a tiny bit more debris. I don't see many, if any, stations moving to Dab+ and losing 90% or more of their current Dab audience.

Even rarer is me using any below 128kbps. Many default to a low bitrate so you have to seek out the listenable stream.

Union Jack is now 32kbps. I wish the bitrates were higher - similar to that in mainland Europe but bitrates comparable to Internet streams is simply not going to happen (and 320kbps is a rare thing - if anything, high bitrate streams are rare online - 48kbps for AAC streams are the norm which would be equalivent to 56kbps for DAB+ (additional overheads are included for a DAB+ service)). The UK digital mark specification does not require radios to decode more than 188kbps at the error protection level used for the vast majority of DAB+ services in the UK.

Two main differences: - The use of the AAC codec instead of the older MP2 codec which allows a station to reduce its bitrate by 2-3x that of an equivalent MP2 station. There is also far less excuse for a station to drop to mono because the savings is only 2-3kbps for a station that uses parametric stereo (all UK services do with the odd exception on a small scale DAB multiplex if I am correct). - Improved error correction by around 40% from my measurements. Whilst a DAB service is showing errors (so called 'bubbling mud'), the DAB+ service will remain stable. Using a pocket radio, I get far less errors and dropping out listening to a DAB+ service compared to a DAB one. There should be no excuse for a manufacturer not implementing DAB+. I have seen radios below £10 which support DAB+.

Thanks bought for my daughters bedroom ,just painted blue so should fit in well

Bluetooth, mainly, and different design, but that's in the eye of the beholder. Don't know how sound differs.

Or pay 10% less than Richer Sounds and get it from argos ebay! :D

Would be interested to know the sound quality/tone of these. I have a Roberts Blutune 50 which is ridiculously bass-heavy, with no way of adjusting the tone. The controls on this one look better at least.

What advantages does that have?

Spend a little more if you can and go for the new model

Got it delivered from Amazon... It is much smaller than what I expected, and needs 6 AA batteries... Quality is pretty poor, don't know how they can justify £29.99 rrp... It should ideally be £9.99 or cheaper for that level of quality.

If anyone is still looking for one, Amazon have price matched it.. I ordered mine from Amazon as the stock on entertainer is a bit of a hit and miss. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B073SM3SFC?tag=amz-mkt-chr-uk-21&ascsubtag=1ba00-01000-org00-mac00-other-nomod-uk000-pcomp-feature-pcomp-wm-1-wm-4&ref=aa_pcomp_aapi1

Out of stock......

Is it year of the Unicorn or something? Even Carex hand wash have jumped on the bandwagon (unicorn)

Homebargains in birch wood, Warrington also have these in and the minion version - if I remember right they were £3.99 (could of been £4.99) I very nearly bought one for my little boy but then remembered how much I hate minions lol

I can't see this deal either...

Good deal. A magazine much maligned by those who've never seen it, and those who have a reading age more suited to the red-tops.

Strange, works when I do it, just tried it again too, gives me the option of 10 for a pound or 6 months. It's the print version not digital btw

Great, 11 weeks since I last did the offer, but can only see 6 & 12 months on the link?

A Roberts for £25 is likely to be better build / sound than an equivalent priced supermarket model. A Father’s Day present for the greenhouse / shed / garage perhaps..... A good find MattunderscoreT.

worried it might sound a bit 'tinny'....does anyone have any experience of the sound quality/depth. MG

It was 40.

Tyson fury live on radio 5 this Saturday 10.30pm

£40

£75 now but still this price at FFX.

Great price, can't think you'll get anything better for the money.

Ordered been waiting cheet

Ordered yesterday... Great deal..😁

It’s £66-£70 at a few online retailers. But a lot cheaper than screwfix

Not a bad price yet depends on the signal where you're using it.

I’ll consider listening to Planet Rock when it’s available in stereo. Stone age UK DAB.

Planet Rock is a good enough reason alone to have a DAB radio, for me.

Radio X and Chris Moyles is worth the money

Aldi reductions are local - manager's call.

Just received mine - it's obvious from the picture posted above but I hadn't realised that it's not much use as a bedroom clock/radio as the time display is on the top of the device (and is small). Other than that, the sound quality is average, but it seems well built. One nice feature, it has two alarms and either can be set to daily/weekday/weekend operation. iPhone SE connected to it no problem with bluetooth.

Brilliant just converted my car radio to DAB with this via AUX. Thanks OP

What is Mono DAB?

That one is a slightly different colour but here it is so you can see display on it

Photos of the unit are a bit odd they do not show the dlsplay https://www.amazon.co.uk/Alba-Mono-DAB-Radio-Clock-Blue/dp/B01BT3CWKW/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_23_tr_img_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=X3X1RNE1Q2BR7CPBEC96

I got this and am delighted with it - but RTFM properly! Also, this particular deal has now expired...

I got one of these for my G-Shock / Edifice collection last week. Bargain price, it's a beauty and not too big. Cheers OP. :D Text is a bit small. Cities in blue. In timekeeping mode the Y (orange) is between 9-10, N is between 10-11 and R is between 6-7. I found this simple video useful while setting up the first time somehow I had set the city to Paris! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVTJgIhX99U&t=5s

yep brilliant watch ..if you guys decide to sell you will get what you paid for it it holds its value well...very nice

Have you noticed when you first check the watch in a morning the seconds hand is stopped on 12 and looks as if the power has ran out, but when you pick it up it re-syncs the seconds hand, I was amazed.... it’s conserving energy!

Codes no longer working guys :|
