AZATOMDAB DAB+ FM Digital Radio Wireless Bluetooth, Stereo Speakers, Alarms, Sleep timer, Presets, Large Display, Rechargeable Battery, Headphones port, USB Mobile Charger ( D2 Multiplex Black)

I purchased this after researching what was available on the market.For the price, it ticked all the boxes for me, as I wanted a radio alarm, DAB with Bluetooth connectivity, but with great sound to wake up to and fall asleep to.The DAB radio is clear and easy to use, the Bluetooth worked as expected, but hey this is not rocket science. The radio alarms, 2 of them, were easy to setup and worked as expected.Here’s where the positive comments end, and I write this review as a big “Approach with caution” as the device falls well short of what would be expected.The sound quality is clear but the bass response is false and boxy. With some bass EQ lift you can make it sounds slightly more acceptable (or less annoying) but very quickly the tone quality grates on you and you really don’t want to switch it on.Now for the showstopper, and one which has been confirmed by the manufacturer as a feature and correct operation. The unit has a button to power the radio on and to put it into standby, as standard on any digital device. However, the only way to take the unit out of standby is to press the power button, which switches the unit off, then press and hold it again to turn the unit back on. This is nonsense and a technical oversight and certainly not a feature. Consider this scenario, the radio comes on in the morning, if the sound quality doesn’t drive you out of bed and you hang around long enough, the radio alarm times out and puts the unit into standby mode, as expected. You choose to continue to listen to the DAB radio, so you simply press the power button, but instead of turning the unit back on, it powers it down, with no option to do anything else.Another common scenario, the phone rings, so you press the power button to turn the DAB radio off, putting it into standby mode, and you take the call. Now the only way of turning the radio back on again is to press the power button, which powers it down, with no option to do anything else. You then have to press and hold the power button to turn the unit back on again. Technically, this is either a flawed design, or an oversight, but having asked the manufacturer directly, apparently this is a feature.Make your own decision to purchase, but my suggestion is a firm, Don Not Touch.My unit is heading in the only direction I see fit, back to Amazon for a full refund.

Radio itself look great but the speakers is no way that has a 30W, am pretty sure it’s around from 15W to 20W.

I just wanted a simple DAB+ Radio to listen to Classic FM, & wasn't prepared to spend 100's of pounds on one , this is perfect for Me , it took 6 minutes to turn on, have a look at the Dials , find the DAB+ button ,find Classic FM & pre-set it ..... simples !! ....... for anyone else that want's to use it for multiple tasks I haven't the faintest idea ...... it's all personal choice , & for Me this is perfect ...... Cheers ......

The sound is ok, the volume is ok, but the controls are a bit complicated and flaky. I still haven't managed to get the presets to work properly

This is the second Azatom I have purchased and I have noticed in both that when the hourly news comes on there’s a weird noise as if the connection is about to disconnect. Only lasts a few seconds and it kicks back in. This model is great for when you want to use the Bluetooth to play music. The equaliser is not bad and I get satisfaction from being able to master what sound I need for either speech or music. Added benefit is taking it into the garden without wires.
