These are good compact DAB radios that retail new at about £49.99 but I have bought two reconditioned models for between £33 and £35. The last one from a Supermarket direct shop as they offered a full year warranty. The volume is adequate but this is not a ghetto blaster! Good features, presets, display etc. I orginally bought one to replace a trusty Sony FM pocket radio that I use when I go fishing. For that purpose these are useless as they really need to be mains run. 4 x AA batteries last about 4 hours whilst the old FM radio would run for at least a years use (say 300 hours) on the same number of batteries. If you have mains available then I rate it good for clarity, tone etc. battery consumption is a general problem with digital I find.
I bought this radio because I wanted access to the increased choice of stations on DAB. This radio is typical of what I would expect of Sony in terms of high quality. I like the volume control being a dial rather than stepped changes in volume. I like having the stereo headphone jack which allows me to play the radio through my hi-fi when needed. I dislike the very high power consumption when used in battery mode. From my research all DAB radios have higher power consumption. You need to research very carefully what features are most important to you as no one set seems to combine everything. As far as I can tell this set seems to offer good value in terms of all round quality.
Loads of stations available and it's reasonably priced for a good DAB radio. I like my brands and having a 'Sony' looks good in my kitchen. My only drip is that the volume isn't that loud on full blast, that's hardly unexpected due to its small size. Don't buy for your 70+ Nanna though as it isn't that easy to use; it's operation could be simplified.
Very solidly built DAB radio with excellent design features that gives the impression of quality. The performance is excellent for a small radio, with clear crisp sound on DAB and FM. This product represents top value considering the price, and is probably the best buy in this price range. LIKES, Build Quality,compact design and performance, Sony reliability DISLIKES, Not much, except it is easy to touch the sesitive controls on the top whilst moving the radio, thereby altering the settings, also the narrowness of the design makes it easy to knock over.
This radio looks smart because it has a good quality metal casing. It's easy to tune and sounds as clear as a bell. Has the economy of working from the mains (nice long cable)and taking ordinary alkaline batteries for portable use. A great little sound machine.
Product bought to be used in the garden, nice compact size, good sound quality, unfortunately we live in an area without great DAB reception, but what we do receive we receive clearly.
I have had one of these radios before and I knew what to expect - I was not disappointed. However, as another reviewer has said they have to be plugged into the mains (this is not a fault - all DAB radios use far more power than old FM-only radios used).

Having uprated to DAB Radio in the lounge and the vast improvement in reception I decided to purchase a DAB Radio for the Conservatory as my Wife uses it a lot and has a portable in there. The reception is not the best. So going on line I came across the Sony DAB Radio and it was in white which is perfect as the conservatory is all white. The price was exceptional so I bought it, I was delighted with the set. I then purchased a set of Lithium batteries for it online of course and so I will present it to her that must be obeyed for Christmas! This one of many, many purchases that I have done on E BAY and will be doing many more not only for the bargains but also the convenience.
This really is a great little radio - excellent sound quality and (important for me) very easy to tune - it is automatic! Batteries didn't last too long in the garden but that isn't too much of a problem for me.
compact and ok battery life but some issues with the settings sometimes pressing the buttons radio didnt function its clearly a tiny button inside the unit but Sony make the buttons function perfectly for 10 years plus like your old products...
