Terratec Noxon 2 Audio review

Reviews The Terratec Noxon Audio 2 is part of a new breed of radio that eschews FM, DAB or satellite broadcasts in favour of Internet Protocol (IP) transmissions. The reason, Terratec assures us, is because the Noxon 2 Audio will slot into a forthcoming...

Mobile phones with FM radios

Reviews If there's one mobile phone feature that doesn't get enough limelight, it's FM radio. The advent of digital music players turned many people from avid radio listeners to MP3 junkies in a matter of years.

PURE Digital Evoke-1XT Marshall Edition review

Reviews You've got to hand it to PURE Digital, the Evoke-1XT Marshall Edition is one rock 'n' roll radio. It's the perfect combination of a PURE Digital radio with Marshall amp styling. Strengths The most important feature of this radio is that the volume...

DAB radios for hi-fi nutters

Reviews All these digital tuners have been built under the assumption that you love radio to the extent that a psychologist might be interested in your case. Happy DABbing, radio freaks! Forget the half-hearted squealing of kitchen radios, these are full...

PURE Digital Move review

Reviews PURE Digital continues to reign in the field of attractive DAB radio systems, this time coming up trumps with the Move pocket radio. This lightweight, palm-and-fingers-sized DAB radio player will fit snugly inside a large coat pocket or bag, or...

Tangent Cinque review

Reviews You can pick up a DAB radio for very little these days. You've also got 12 separate presets for FM radio, should DAB not excite you. What we'd love to see -- and what would separate this system for the vast majority of DAB all-in-one systems -- is...

Goodmans GCR1930DAB review

Reviews Goodmans has been at the forefront of integrating DAB into multi-purpose units, and with the GCR1930DAB it has produced a radio anchored to its basic purpose: replacing your old alarm clock. Of the two screens, both of which are hidden behind a...

Goodmans GSR80DAB review

Reviews The Goodmans GSR80DAB is a great-looking digital radio with the added bonus of FM built in. If you want to use the radio away from a power point, you'll need to use four LR20 (D size) batteries. Pressing the DAB/FM button toggles between the two...

PURE PocketDAB 2000 review

Reviews Analogue radio has reached the sad point where the airwaves are overrun by commercial pop that serves as little more than a long advertisement for whatever bands Clear Channel is pimping this month. Luckily digital radio has brought with it a slew...

Tangent Quattro MKII review

Reviews When you hear 'Internet radio', don't just think of the oddities found inside iTunes' rather rococo radio list. A decent tabletop Internet radio, however, will give you access to major British broadcasts from the likes of the BBC, along with...

PURE Digital DMX-50 review

Reviews PURE Digital has established itself as one of the leading brands of digital radio. We've previously been impressed by the company's kitchen-radio designs and also by its hi-fi separates unit, the PURE DRX-702ES.

Sony ST-SDB900 review

Reviews Sony has a long history of radio design. It built Japan's first transistor radio back in August 1955. Then, two years later, it launched the smallest radio in the world at the time, the TR-63. Unlike the PURE DRX-702ES, this Sony radio does not...

Intempo RDI review

Reviews The iPod doesn't have a radio, let alone DAB, so an iPod speaker system with a digital radio built in has to be a good idea. A line-in socket opens the door for compatibility with other devices, too, as if 160GB of music and a plethora of digital...

Macally TunePro iPod alarm clock review

Reviews StrengthsThe Macally TunePro crams an AM/FM radio, alarm clock and iPod speaker dock into an attractive 330 by 114 by 127mm of space. We especially appreciated nuances such as the gradual rise in volume when the iPod or radio is selected as the alarm.

PURE Digital Sonus-1XT review

Reviews PURE Digital's Sonus-1XT is a digital radio that talks, not just in the way that all radios talk, but also to provide information about its settings and functions. The Sonus-1XT is a mains-only radio and is supplied with an AC power adaptor.
