PHILIPS Audio R5505/10 Bluetooth Radio (Wooden Housing, DAB+/FM Radio, 3-Inch Driver, Kitchen Timer, Mains or Battery Operated), Brown/Grey, 20.7 L x 10.6 W x 14.1 H

Really pleased with this radio. Looks great and easy to use. Display is very clear and easy to see time and radio station. Excellent value for price. Highly recommended.

Difficulty trying to set up and was thinking it was faulty but after some time I managed to carry out the basics and found the radio to have a good sound and reception plus the quos good .

Bought this for my elderly parents to replace an old FM radio they'd had for years. So it had to be easy to use and it is (once I'd stored the stations they listen to - this may be a problem for some but probably no mre difficult than setting up any DAB radio tbf). The DAB and audio quality are very good, considering the price we paid. Very happy!

I paid almost £50 on sale for this to replace an older cheapo brand DAB kitchen radio (without DAB+) which I paid around £15 less for... PROS: - Reputable brand so hopefully the buttons will hold up (the ones on my previous radio eventually went haywire). The build quality looks like a step up anyway. - No apparent problems with the DAB+ reception - great. - Bluetooth (if you have a use for it). Beware though, unless I'm mistaken you can't play the radio through a better set of speakers, it can only receive audio from a phone or other device. - Good looking compact modern design. CONS: - The menu system is a bit of a faff initially (as is the kitchen timer 'feature') but ok once you're all set. - Only 3 buttoned presets. (There are 20 in total, it just involves more precious button presses to scroll through.) - The biggie for me is that I expected a better sound for the price, comparing with my older and much cheaper DAB which wasn't much larger but came with stereo speakers nonetheless, which seems to make a big difference. The mid range here is loud and crisp but isn't wide enough - the highs and lows are noticeably muted, I've found. You can set the DRC to High, Low or Off but to my ear none produce a full rich sound, just less tinny and slightly more base with this enabled, but losing even more high end. I'd say that if you just want it to play low in the background or listen to the news/podcasts etc then it's perfectly fine, but if you like to turn up the volume when your favourite track comes on, even moderately, then you'll probably wish you had a half-decent stereo array instead. If the price was £5-10 lower I'd give it another star.

This DAB+ radio cost over £60 from Amazon but my initial feeling is that it is very good value for money. I was a little alarmed when another reviewer said that it was difficult to programme this radio but after several failed attempts to get my favourite DAB+ station the radio seemed to almost programme itself. It’s early doors but the sound even at higher volumes with this radio seems to be very good quality.

I bought this radio due to stations leaving DAB and moving onto DAB+. The sounds is full and rich for the size of the radio, I found it easy to use and was working and set up within 10 minutes with three pre sets, and I am not overly techincal! Looks rather nice too for a small radio. Would recommend.

Great signal reception FM and DAB signal reception and good solid sound. I like the fact that this can been run off batteries, though mine is usually connected to the mains. A weak spot is that the legends on the buttons are faded fast after just one year of use.

A great little radio with excellent quality sound.
