Solid, intuitive operation, deduction for sound (bass)
I mainly use the device as a DAB+ receiver for connection to a soundbar. In this respect, the flat sound of the speaker is secondary for me. However, I miss the storage of the last set volume, because I use the device connected to a soundbar and therefore always need the maximum volume after switching on. So now I have to turn the volume wheel to full volume every time. Complaining at a high level, because the price/performance ratio is right.
Pro
- Top quick-select buttons
- Intuitive operation
- Solid housing (hard plastic)
- Rod antenna
Contra
- The set volume is not saved.

Nice, slim DAB+ radio with good value for money. Hard plastic housing (fortunately) and none of those initially pleasant rubberised surfaces that become sticky over time. Ideal format for sticking it to the wall with Scotch Velcro in the bathroom, for example. Easy to install and operate. Clear, well understandable sound, but completely devoid of any lower frequencies, as other small speakers are now able to do. It's a bit of a shame, but it's quite enough for news and some musical accompaniment. But a little bass would enhance the sound of the radio a lot! Incomprehensible: you can set the mode of the backlight in the display. Good idea, suboptimally implemented. Either it only lights up for a few seconds in operation after a button has been pressed, or it burns permanently - even when the radio is switched off (...). Why not have a mode in which the display is always lit when the radio is on and switched off when it is not? All in all, however, it's certainly worth buying if the disadvantages don't bother you, if only because of the rare format and the good workmanship. The bigger brother delivers more bass, but is almost two sizes bigger.

DAB+ for interference-free radio enjoyment
Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB+) is the further development of DAB, which was developed over 20 years ago and replaces analog FM reception. In contrast to analog radio, you can enjoy clear sound without any crackling or noise thanks to interference-free reception. In addition, DAB+ offers more program variety, requires less energy and is therefore more economical and ecological than FM.
FM - analog radio reception
FM radio refers to analog broadcasting on ultra-short wave. It is located between 87.5 and 108 MHz. There are around 850 private and state stations available throughout Switzerland - simply tune in to the right frequency and you'll receive the station you want in stereo quality.Pro
- Price top
