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

i wanted a medium-sized DAB radio .and i decided to purchase this radio .despit its low price [remember when DAB radios came out they cost hundreds ] now for less than £40 you get a device that you can use as a portable speaker it sounds excellent too because it has a subwoofer and you can hear it [pitty there is no control for the subwoofer ] but you can adjust the bass and treble to get a good sound [you're not just limited to the usual jazz/rock/ rubish that you get with some devices around this price ..by the way, you are offered various preset sounds but i advise you to adjust using the bass and treble as you will get a better sound than just using the preset sounds [they never sound good on any device i always use bass and treble on my audio devices .the radio is well made even the remote control is well laid out and easy to read .its easy to programme and it looks nice too .i bought this for my 80-year-old mum and she loves it .i would buy one for myself if i was looking to replace my DAB radio .this radio also has a rechargeble power supply making it an even better purchase .highly recomended .....

Great radio and an extremely good price. 3 years free warranty and has a great sound. Lots of features and looks great on the bedside drawers.

Aesthetically pleasing and a solid substantial feel. Volume achieves decent levels before distortion (all amps distort at their upper end) and the size of the unit and speaker cone provides a sound with decent enough bottom end without it being described as hi-fi. It suffices for a 5 metre by 4 metre soft furnished room. The (sort of) tower design reduces surface footprint but obviously the absolutely best thing about the design for a perpetual boy is that it's face looks like a 1950's robot. It's worth buying for that aspect alone to be honest. Two minor negatives:- 1. It didn't auto change the time today at the start of BST. An easy manual change though. 2. Bluetooth is as receiving paired device hence I was unable to pair with my sound bar which behaves in a similar manner. Cabling is an option to achieve that but that's not something I want to do.

Looked at other radios of a similar size and style, and after reading reviews we decided to order the Azatom Blackfriars 2. So far it's been very good. Quite easy to navigate the control system if you read the booklet thoroughly, and keep it handy for reference. Sound quality is quite good considering the size and price bracket. Battery life is very good after receiving a full charge, at over 12 hours, so very useful due to the portability of the radio. Overall, very pleased with the purchase so far.

Lovely radio and so many functions. This was a gift for my daughter and she loves it. It looks good in her room, was very easy to set up and, whilst we've only had it a few days, the radio has been on constantly! I've yet to get her to try the alarm but it won't be long!!

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.

Looks great sound good, excellent price

Stylish radio. Good quality sound from the radio. Radio was smaller than I thought it was, but tbf I didn't check the measurements beforehand, I'm still happy with it. It's so very portable as it has a rechargeable battery which lasts a long time on one charge.
