DAB/DAB+ & FM Portable Digital Radio | Bluetooth | Remote Control | Rechargeable Battery | Dual Alarms & Sleep Timer | Perfect for Home, Office or Outdoors | AZATOM Blackfriars 2 (OAK)

This is a great radio with a small footprint that fits well on my bedside table. With 30watts it has much more power than the majority of it's competitors. In my opinion it has a good sound with plenty of bass so it doesn't sound tinny. There is a good selection of preset equaliser settings so you can adjust it to your particular preference. The bluetooth connection works perfectly and the DAB reception is strong. I realise that reception varies according to your local area but I don't have to use the extendable aerial with this radio when I have with others.I particularly like the alarm settings, you can chose to wake to an alarm tone or the radio and this starts off quietly and gradually increases to you chosen volume so it doesn't startle you awake. There are two separate alarms. I have set mine at 7am for the week and a slightly later one to go off at the weekend which I think is a great feature. On top of all that It looks really good too.

Good compact size, colour nice although I did think facia would be all chrome but it was white with chrome knobs. I went for black wood effect to go with my kitchen.Very easy to set up. Not done an extensive test of battery life yet, when I've left unplugged (fully charged) 1 bar out of 3 have been used overnight on the battery 🔋 indicator.I can get more channels than I need compared to my old radio, I can now get Gold (🇬🇧 london), I live in Hertfordshire. Preset stations are easy to store, I didn't even need manual to help work through what radio functions do.In settings there are different sound modes (pop, classic, normal ect) BUT the base is not enough for my liking and it appears I can't give any more depth to sound. If you are in your 20's or even 30s this radio probably might not be for you. I'm 57 I do like a bit of boom! Anyway it's sufficient for my needs.I don't have the aerial fully up because my kitchen cabinets prevent that as there isn't as all round "pivot" but you still get a crystal clear sound.Unit is light and stations are displayed with what song is playing, time and date, love that feature as my old one didn't. You can dim display or off mode.I think this radio is great also coz I can link to my phone through Bluetooth but sound is lower than if I just had radio.I would rate this as a medium range quality but for price it's really good.Perhaps manufacture could introduce more base, I would be really happy then.Hope this helps you decide.UPDATE.. I forgot to switch on to charge, leaving power to drain but system goes into standby type mode. If you hold power button for a few moments it comes back on. At least I know how long battery lasts. I guess if you want to unplug and say have while your gardening eg on allotment I'd say 2-3 hours run time without electrickery.. 🤭😆ANOTHER UPDATE: I've hooked Bluetooth to my PC and films sound better through radio. PC speakers are boosted with this little radio.

Decent enough product for a Bedroom or Kitchen use. Do not expect a rich round punchy bass from a single 30W (peak power) speaker, but the sound at least has high and mid range clarity. The DAB functionality is reasonable, no issues so far. Bluetooth connection seems reliable, but the BT audio is just okay. The cheap plastic Remote Control works well enough from across a medium sized room, and the battery life (can use mains also) is acceptable.3 mode dimming functionality is horrible set to high, display looks better medium/low. Not as difficult to navigate the user interface as some make out, and has 2 alarms, clock/date/timer. The aesthetic (Black/Silver Model) is pleasing on the eyes.A British designed product made in China would probably cost a lot more assembled in the UK, so not a whole lot to complain about on price, though at £49.99 you'll feel like you certainly got what you paid for.

Looks great, very portable and great sound. Excellent battery life.

Looks great and sounds great .Ideal size for workshop and garden

Lovely radio, with good sound and easy to operate. I only returned it because it was a little too big for what I needed. But I purchased a smaller AZATOM model to replace it as I was so pleased with the quality and value for money.

Is it the radio itself, or is it DAB? who knows... but whatever the cause this radio doesn't perform it's primary function.. that is... letting you listen to the radio. It constantly leaps from signal to no signal. I may get 10 seconds of music, or I might strike it lucky and get 30 seconds of music before the radio falls silent and tells me the signal is unavailable. I wish I'd sent it back but I left it too long. It was just a waste of money and is only fit for the bin.

Terrific radio this is the second one I have bought having been so impressed by the first one easy to set up light weight to carry sounds are good but also I find the remote so useful and one of the reasons I chose this radio was because it had a remote and a good sized display/screen I enjoy listening to my audio books and music small radio that does not take up much room but does everything you need
