Product Information

If you want to listen to CDs, your best bet is to use a portable CD boombox such as the Roberts Zoombox 3.

But what else does a digital radio have to be able to do except for receiving stations? Many models also offer internet radio, Bluetooth interfaces for smartphones, can be controlled via an app or have a built-in CD player. To make it easier for you to choose, we have selected the best offers, some of which are well below 100 pounds. When a radio has Bluetooth, this means it has a Bluetooth receiver rather than a transmitter. You can connect the radio to your phone to play music through the radio’s speakers, but you can’t connect a Bluetooth radio to Bluetooth headphones.

The dust- and water-resistance of any radio is measured using IP codes. IP codes are four-character codes. The first two characters are the letters IP, which stands for “International Protection”. The next character is a number which relates to dust resistance and the final character is a number which relates to water resistance. The higher the number, the more resistance. Solar radios: There are several small and inexpensive portable camping radios on the market that can be charged by winding them up or using solar energy. There are also some more expensive DAB radios with solar charging. In this article, we’ll look at some of the best outdoor radios on the market in the UK.

In addition to DAB, there is also DAB +. The newer standard can compress the transmitted stations better and thus ensures a greater number of stations on the frequency band. Most digital radios use both standards, so customers don’t have to worry about them. A high-contrast OLED display ensures excellent readability of the DAB / DAB + and FM radio stations. Technisat also focuses on quality when it comes to sound and supports the bass with an additional passive membrane. Sure, the tiny thing is still not a bass miracle, but in this price segment it is one of the best-sounding digital radios. Those who like compact retro design will love the cuddly Technisat Viola 2. Weighing just 300 grams, the DAB / DAB + and FM receiver are among the lightest in our selection. In addition, it is also the cheapest.

An example of an IP code is IPX4, which means. This code has an ‘X’ in the position for dust resistance, which means that it hasn’t been tested for dust resistance. The ‘4’ means that it can withstand being splashed with water for 10 minutes. This radio can be plugged into the mains or used with four C-type batteries. The battery life is quite short, and the batteries might not last a full workday. This can be inconvenient and expensive unless you use rechargeable batteries. However, it’s quite normal for DAB radios to have poor battery life, so this isn’t a fault of this radio in particular.

Bluetooth: If you choose a radio with Bluetooth, you’ll be able to stream music or other audio from your phone. This is much better than listening to music through your phone’s tinny speakers. Outdoor radios with Bluetooth usually only have a Bluetooth receiver rather than a transmitter, so they can’t be used with Bluetooth headphones.
