Raddy RD23 Portable Digital DAB/DAB+ Radio with Bluetooth, Clear LC-Display, USB-C Rechargeable, 110 Preset Stations, FM, Headphones Jack, for Home & Travel, Black

I was keen to obtain a portable DAB radio, but was sceptical about how good the reception would be. I finally plumped for the Raddy RD23, and so far I am very happy with my purchase. The sound quality and reception are more than acceptable, I was able to obtain the channels I wanted, and the radio is only about the size of a mobile phone, so highly portable. As other reviewers have noted, the aerial does seem a little flimsy, but so long as you are careful this shouldn't be a major issue. Overall I am very satisfied with my purchase.

Perfect little radio for me. I don't sleep well so this tucks tidily under my pillow to keep me company during the long nights. It's very easy to set up. The build quality is good. The sound is excellent both through the earphones and loudspeaker. I find the six preset buttons a real advantage and simple to operate in the dark when I can't see what I'm doing! All in all agreat little pocket radio at a good price

Tiny radio that has decent and pleasant sound for such a small device. Doesn't sound tinny, although obviously not loads of bass. Reception is good with the aerial up. Not sure why the slim aerial is criticised so much - the device is small and wouldn't accommodate a normal sized one. Quick to set up and super fast station scrolling makes up for the limited display. I did find the bluetooth connection has an annoying background whine, though. Loses a mark for that. Overall a great little device, especially at the discounted price.

I have a few of these mini DAB/FM radios now which have the convenience of an actual speaker as well as a personal headphone socket and after a week or so I have to say this is the best one in the budget range that I've tried so far. Especially the quality of the speaker is excellent for such a small device, easily good enough for a kitchen/bedroom radio and quite pleasant to listen to news/culture and sports channels like BBC/LBC/Talk Sport with very clear audio. I also like the basic shiny black plastic shell, thank god they haven't coated it in that terrible rubber film that feels good for a few months and then deteriorates into a sticky mess making the device unusable. The reception on both FM and DAB is good once you find a good position for the radio but does need the rather flimsy antenna fully extended. I am in a strong reception area so this is not a big problem for me but the radio may struggle with reception in other areas of the country. The controls are basic with six preset buttons and up to 40 available in total by fiddly scrolling through a list, but I do like the dial control for the volume, just like on older analog radios it's much smoother and quicker to control than using buttons. (Unfortunately, like most digital radios the lowest volume level is not low enough, especially for night listening with the radio near your pillow - why doesn't the volume decrease to zero smoothly?) No headphones are included in the package and the charging port is the old-fashioned micro-USB type, but a cable is provided and the radio works fine while charging.

A fantastic little radio with remarkable sound quality for its size, why can't all small radios sound this good? Being rechargeable means no need for bulky and heavy and expensive conventional batteries, a big advance. The operating instructions could be clearer, but luckily 'translations' are available on the internet. I was so impressed with this radio that I bought a second one. Excellent value for money.

I'm bit of a gadget fanatic and I have to say I like this little gadget a lot. For me is far more common sense than many of the alternative products, in how it is designed. It definitely does feel rather cheap but in use it's a real winner for me. The external speaker is absolutely fine for speech and not unpleasant for music. Just having an external speaker puts it ahead of brands like Roberts which is not have one. There is an analogue rotating wheel volume control. This is brilliant when using the external speaker but with earphones the lowest volume is actually quite allowed middle volume and as you turn the wheel down the soundest cuts out. So if you are using everyday headphones that usually are quite sensitive and that could be a problem. Also the sound through the earphone jack is very thin and without much bass. It's very strange because it sounds really nice when plugged into my PC speakers. I think they tried to go for clarity. Because when it is plugged into external speakers it sounds very pleasant and engaging, not harsh or unpleasant. Basically average decent the DAB sound. If you're mostly going to be using it with earphones this is properly not the best option, particularly needing the aerial extended. This gadget really shines as an all-rounder but for mostly listening to the external speaker. I have a Samsung Galaxy S9, the sound quality from that is very good, sound from this little gadget is very similar and goes a bit louder The six direct presets are brilliant, I just wish there were more. The aerial looks very flimsy but it seems somewhat springy so is not the worst aerial. It's likely light handling a newborn baby. But the aerial goes in and out very easily when the aerial is out sitting on a shelf is completely fine when you pick it up slightly aerial in. It has a slightly mission impossible film feel from the 60s. I utilise the USB and the microSD card set. It's a nice variation to have a break from audiobooks to listen to radio. Just to prepare you for any disappointment that the Speak is clear from radio, it's not brilliant when used as a Bluetooth speaker but it's adequate speech. And also when you're changing channels you have to repeatedly click but it is not too bad. I'm really happy with it but if anyone made anything similar with the same features but really good quality, that would make me very happy as well, even if it cost double or more. It is definitely quirky but I like it very much.

USELESS.....it says it supports bluetooth but when you try and pair it with earpuds it doesn't work.

Ich habe das Raddy RD23 als Notfallradio gekauft und bin wirklich positiv überrascht. Trotz der kompakten Größe hat es eine überraschend lange Antenne und bietet dadurch sehr guten Empfang, sowohl bei DAB+ als auch UKW. Der Akku hält ordentlich durch, der Klang ist für die Größe völlig in Ordnung und Bluetooth funktioniert zuverlässig. Auch als kleines Küchenradio oder Outdoor-Radio macht es eine gute Figur. Insgesamt ein leichtes, praktisches und durchdachtes Gerät, das sich ideal für Notfälle, Camping oder den Alltag eignet. Für mich eine klare Empfehlung – gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis und solide Qualität.

compacte radio, gemakkelijk mee te nemen, goed geluid, voorkeur stations eenmaal geprogrammeerd handig

Great radio, no issue, just wish to have the option to connect to bluetooth ear buds, or bluetooth headphones, dont need to stream music to the radio from phone using bluetooth, should have been the other way round

La radio est vraiment bien, le son du baffle est plutôt bon et la réception vraiment efficace, seul l'antenne est un peu fragile donc à manipuler avec précaution.

Bonita, práctica, funciona muy bien.
