AZATOM A2 DAB/DAB+ Portable Digital Radio, Sports Model, Compact Pocket Size, Rechargeable Battery (24-Hour Playtime), 40 Station Presets, Built-in Clock, Earphone Included - Silver/Black

I collected this on 16 February and was impressed from the start.On the downside, the supplied headphones were not the ones advertised with silicon buds but smooth plastic items that wouldn't stay in my ears even when sitting still. An email to AZATOM and they happily replaced them. The new phones are quite secure in my ears even when walking around.The radio is in my view solidly built, attractive and the control layout is intuitive. Tuning is quick and it's easy to move channels to presets. I live within line of sight of the Waltham transmitter so reception is good although in some local shops the signal drops intermittently. This is quite understandable as a headphone cable is not the most efficient form of antenna by any means.The audio quality is excellent. I have not checked the battery life although I have listened for at least 10 hours with the volume set quite high to penetrate my elderly ears. The charging is slow and I have emailed AZATOM to ask if using a more powerful charge would be harmful. I have only given 4 stars for battery life as I cannot confirm exactly how long it is.In summary, this little gem is excellent value for money.Thank you.

Fine little radio and arrived on time. It's easy enough to use and picked up nearly 80 DAB+ stations on the first scan. It's perfectly portable. The supplied headphones, whilst delivering a reasonably clear sound quality, sadly do not fit in my ears. Hunting down a different headphone has proved difficult so far. Azatom have been helpful and told me that the jack needs to have two black lines. I tried one with three black lines and it didn't work. I've located one on Amazon that I think will fit, fingers crossed!

This is a great personal radio . Easy to use . Great reception. Bright Display . Lock feature . Long battery charge ( important for me as I take it on long country hikes ) .My favourite personal DAB radio now .

This is the 2nd Azatom A2 radio I have purchased. It's compact size is ideal for travelling. A sturdy little radio with good sound and battery life.

Good little personal DAB, which fits easily into a pocket. Provides me with hours of radio as I'm out and about working. Overall, it's a smashing product (for the money paid), and I'd definitely be happy to recommend it to others. Build quality seems good.It's easy to use, and doesn't require a PhD to work out all its features! The 3 year warranty is excellent, although hopefully it won't be required. 1 month into using it, and it's not fallen to pieces yet.A few minor things worth noting:-1. Earphones are not the best or most robust. I've already lost a few of the rubber buds which insert into the inner ear.2. The battery life is good, but it's not as good as the advertised numbers. I use the radio for 4-5 hours a day, and comfortably get about 3 days use before it needs a recharge. Not quite the number of hours advertised, but still pretty good. I've no issues charging it twice a week.3. Following on from #2, the screen shows an image of a battery, but doesn't give a % charge remaining, so as the battery image reduces, there's no real way of knowing just how much/little charge remains.4. When charging - unless you have the radio power on, there's no indication from the screen to show that the charging is working. That would've been useful.5. The lock button is a useful feature, although the button itself doesn't feel as robust as the other buttons on the radio.

So far so good. Solid construction, easy to use, good quality sound

I wanted a product like this to use for live radio while I'm out walking rather than rely on 3G phone coverage in our area which is dreadful. The product was delivered quickly and worked right out of the box. It has an easy-to-use interface and will be familiar to anyone who has used DAB radios. It allows presets and can be scanned automatically for DAB once the earphones are plugged in. It looks neat and is very compact. The best bit is this is British-made and reasonably priced. I rang the customer helpline to register it for the extended warranty and they couldn't have been more helpful. I strongly recommend this product for a simple portable DAB radio for use with earphones. I a delighted with this product,

Excellent sound, surprisingly good sound for the price and for being such a small device - though provided headphones are hard plastic earpieces so not especially comfortable, but nevertheless they work well - really pocket friendly which of course means some of the limited number of buttons need a bit of thought initially, but honestly, works really well. Excellent for catching-up with world events on Radio 4 and chilling out with musical channels of your choice, in my case, four quick to install presets were enough: Radio 4, Radio 3, Scala and Classic FM, all crystal clear. This device offers real flexibility when Wi-Fi isn't available or reliable or free and you don't want to use up your data on your phone. Full charge is really quick and no batteries are needed.
