Goodmans Retro Oxford Bluetooth Digital Radio - Bonbon

Product Information

It offers both FM and DAB, just in case your favourite radio station hasn’t made it to DAB yet, though I stick with DAB most of the time I am playing with this. However because all station names are visible when tuning that isn't a problem - and when tuned in to a station program details are shown including what is actually on air at that time. If you are looking for a stylish radio, offering DAB+ and FM capability, with a choice of mains or battery power plus the capability to act as a speaker unit for your MP3 player or phone then this product could fit the bill. The top three buttons allow you to set up three preset stations for both the DAB+ and FM station options. This can be useful for adjusting your antenna to achieve the best possible reception and scanning for a particular channel to update the station list.

These buttons are labelled to indicate their functions however, due to the polished nature of the underlying control panel, I found it not the easiest task to read these identifying labels. They mention that it looks great, the ascetics are pleasing and that the bluetooth connectivity is easy to set up. The leather carrying handle is a nice touch that adds some class and makes the radio look more expensive than it is. I have tried my usual bunch of radio stations on this, from BBC 6 Music to Planet Rock, from Classic to Radio 4.

It’s great for speech programmes and Radio 4, but leaves something to be desired when listening to music. The period feel is further enhanced by accurately referencing the colours of the era with the radio available in Bonbon, Berry, Mustard, Sky, Moss and Porcelain. I love the classic look of the radio and the tan leather carry handle is matched to classic chrome detailing giving Oxford true authenticity. uk had to say about the item in their product description: Goodmans Goodmans OXFORD porcelain The retro chic design of the Goodmans Oxford DAB radio is sure to impress in any home.
