As always with Roberts products,the quality is excellent.I have replaced the supplied earbuds with over-ear headphones because they are more comfortable and better quality but,in all other respects,the sound quality is superb.There are 5 presets for DAB and 5 for FM which is adequate.When selecting a station with a preset button,it is easy to lose the preset if the button is pressed for too long.Stations are selected by means of a flywheel on the side which can be a little awkward.Sometimes,it fails to respond when pressed or moved up or down.It needs getting used to!There is a good sized screen on the front which gives all the info about stations and music being listened to in DAB.The display is very easy to read.There are no bad points to this radio.If you want to listen to radio on the move,it is an ideal choice.Read full review

Instructions complicated and difficult to follow. I still haven't managed to pre-set stations after several tries. Don't know if I have small ear-holes - the earpieces keep dropping out. No way of attaching to body - could do with a clip. I bought it to use while gardening; in my pocket, the volume keeps changing. I have 2 other Roberts radios, both over 10 years old, which are superb.

Excellent sound quality and easy to operate without having to take it out of my pocket which is ideal when walking the dog. Had been using an FM/AM Sony portable radio and hadn’t appreciated how much better and enjoyable listening to a DAB reception would give. Intuitive to use. 4 presets on DAB, would have preferred couple more. Toggle wheel on side to scroll through stations then select by pressing it in can be a little fiddly if you inadvertently press whilst scrolling. Some reviews say this radio eats batteries but I use Uniross 2700 amh rechargeable batteries (takes two AA) which has given just over two weeks use on approx 1 hr per day. Batteries make the radio slightly heavier and bulkier than the Pure move R3 DAB radio which hubby has but I didn’t want a built in battery. Pure is of equal sound quality and has 3 presets and charged using a USB. Really depends on personal preferences with the above in mind. UPDATE: 2 years on - hubbies Pure Move has failed to recharge and been disposed of. Roberts still going strong with independently charged rechargeable batteries. He has now also purchased this Roberts radio!Read full review

Pros Good design Good sound, through 3rd party headphones Works well in a car Uses AA batteries Cons Headphones supplied poor Battery life is ok, but in long term will be expensive to run. Needs a case to protect it to prevent marking (one not supplied) Overall For the money paid, more than happy. Works better than own / no brand models commonly available.

Good sound, nice product. I am unable to work out how to move from FM to DAB. Not clear at all.
