Big round buttons, a large easy-to-use volume knob and a curved profile set the tone of this vintage look radio. It’s compact and colourful in black, white or red to match the décor in your home. A throwback to the past with DAB+ for the future.Explore thousands of digital radio stationsOnce upon a time, you could spend an age twiddling dials in the hope of finding a strong signal to listen to. Now it’s all changed with DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting). With DAB/DAB+ (Band III) digital radio, you have a huge choice of stations at your fingertips, broadcasting in clear sound quality. Tune in at the touch of a button using 5 DAB/DAB+ presets. You can also access a full spectrum of popular FM stations with 5 presets for storing your favourites. See what you’re listening toOne of the big benefits of DAB/DAB+ is its ability to transmit real-time information such as song titles, music type and station data. So when you tune in and scroll on the LCD display, you’ll be able to see exactly what you’re listening to. With so many stations available, this is a really handy feature that puts you in total command of your radio. A clearer sound with no interferenceCrackle and hiss spoils a good radio broadcast. But with DAB, you don’t suffer from the interference that sometimes accompanies weaker FM signals. DAB transmits digital audio, giving you superior reception quality and a clearer, purer broadcast. All helped along by Sony audio technology. Your radio comes with you Light and compact, this digital radio is ready to follow you wherever you go. It runs equally well on three C batteries as it does from the mains, making it perfect for taking on holiday or to the park. You’ll get up to 16 hours of DAB/DAB+ reception or up to 14 hours of FM reception when using Sony C-sized alkaline batteries. There’s also a low battery alert on the LCD display.

Review: Great radio. Does a blinding job of pulling stations ... - Great radio. Does a blinding job of pulling stations in. Excellent sound throughout the range, providing a well balanced output. Glad I went for this one instead of the baby 40 version. Input works fine. Operation is very user friendly and looks good on top of my (also) white fridge! Only negatives are that the plastics could have been a little better including buttons and jog dial. Would have given a more tighter quality feel to it all. Not tested on batteries yet but I am more than sure it will perform as expected or better. Happy that it takes a more robust power in form of c batteries instead of smaller cells. I have had a previous (sagemcom hl40) dab radio which I was unhappy with. This used to have a respectable signal but there was a lot of difference between station sounds. Most of them even though on a mono speaker had a distinctly flat (compressed) mono sound and only (cap) came through nice with twinkly bits. Whereas the Sony seems to use it's magic trickery to provide a very uniform and superior sound on all stations. I am loving this radio and will mark the final change point for me to ditch poor old beloved fm. (of which the reception is equally superb on this remarkable piece of engineering). I hope the reliability will make sure it was a wise purchase.
Review: Stylish , sensitive, high quality radio at a very good price. - My previous experience of DAB radio has been very poor .i.e very heavy power consumption, appalling quality on weaker signals and not very good ergonomically. In fact both of them (Roberts) ended up on the rubbish heap! So I am very happy to say that the Sony XDRS60 is an excellent radio in every respect. The red/silver combination is very pleasing and the plastic/ metal materials of high quality. Ergonomically it is excellent with the on/off and preset station buttons on the top cabinet surface allowing one handed operation. As others have said - it is very sensitive on both DAB and FM. The latter is very important to me as local stations in Norfolk are not available on DAB and they have no plans. Set -up is automatic on both bands on first switching on, and storing stations on the presets very straightforward. The large tuning and volume knobs are very smooth to operate and the illuminated display very clear with all the station info you need, along with a digital clock and battery status indicator - if batteries are installed. Incidentally I highly reccomend you do this. Not only do you get very convenient portable operation (but note it has no carrying handle), but also the 3x C cells weigh the set down sufficiently for one handed operation of the front panel controls. I reccomend purchasing a box of 10 Duracell industrial pro cells from desertcart. They have a huge ampere/ hour capacity and cost less than £8 for 10batts. I have been running on 3 of these for 2 months and the bat status indicator still reads full! Audio quality is very good indeed and this holds at high volume settings. Although it is somewhat middle/top weighted, the bass you do get is very clean and tight. In summary I highly reccomend this radio. At £69 it beats the overpriced offerings from Pure and Roberts in the £90-120 region, all over the place. Treat yourself for Christmas, you won't regret it!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A reasonable semi-portable with one major flaw
*by G***Y on 7 December 2016*

Great design and a rich sound with a pleasant treble but rather recessed midrange (a little 'thick' sounding when compared to my Panasonic RF-D10). Only portable room to room maybe, but attention to the loudspeaker and its ported rigid enclosure has paid off with descent tuneful upper bass for a small radio that sounds bigger than it looks. Welcome analogue volume control (you can adjust the volume without the display lighting up and telling you that you're adjusting the volume) and splendid very low volume DAB clarity for a change (The bass and treble accentuated tone seems to help here). Quite loud volume is also possible enjoyably. The speaker grille (dark grey for my black military looking model) is thin, so take care when moving. Mains lead about 1.5m long. Not tested with batteries yet. Aux input is on the quiet side, presumably to protect the amplifier from high inputs. Easy presetting and general use despite sliding around a bit. The major flaw is that I find it difficult and fatiguing to follow speech with this radio; I have to turn up the volume to compensate for the weak midrange - even BBC time pips sound distant. I listen to my Panasonic for the spoken word and the Sony for loud music, when I'm not interested in DJ chatter. This is an updated review after two months of use.
