Roberts Gemini 11 review

Reviews Roberts Radio is one of the stalwarts of the British radio industry. Roberts recommends you use mains power "whenever possible", but at least you have the option to take it on a picnic. It has been making portables since 1932, with the emphasis on...

Roberts Gemini 10 review

Reviews The Roberts is perfect for older radio listeners averse to new-fangled gadgets. Royal insignia are printed there to remind you of Roberts' heritage - both Prince Charles and the Queen get down to the Roberts sound.

Roberts Gemini 19 review

Reviews This is the first time we've seen specific station branding on a Roberts radio (although we have seen an XFM DAB radio from another manufacturer) and it makes you wonder how many other branded buttons these things will take before they become...

Roberts Rambler RD-76 review

Reviews Roberts has keenly demonstrated its appetite for retro. Roberts has taken a rather different approach, trying as hard as possible to make the transition to digital radio more or less transparent to the average radio user.

Digital radios with recording features

Reviews The Roberts Gemini 11 offers similar functionality, but sets it up so you can either pause or rewind the broadcast. After the clear sound, the coolest thing about digital radio is the option to pause, rewind and record live radio.

PURE's heavyweight sonic Oasis

Crave Ah, radio. A medium that encapsulates all it is to be British, from Home Truths to Test Match Special, from the top 40 to regional gardening tips. A classless medium, where quietly passionate men like John Peel and Terry Wogan become national icons.

Roberts DAB radio: retro chic

Crave When we laid our hands on the Roberts Gemini 10 digital radio, it took us right back in the wayback machine. There was some serious double-bass action going on in the session we listened to, but the Roberts handled it easily, only distorting very...

Roberts Gemini 10

Video Roberts has transplanted the internal electronics of a modern digital radio into the case of a gorgeous 1950s classic. If it wasn’t for the LCD display and superior tone, you’d never guess this was anything but the original.

Sony XDR-S20 review

Reviews Manufacturers like Roberts have made a business out of slipping modern DAB electronics into the husks of 50s radios, but Sony is not well known for its traditionalism. Given how well Roberts and PURE have implemented rotary tuners on their digital...
