Roberts Revival RD70 FM/DAB/DAB+ Digital Radio with Bluetooth, Leaf (Green)

Bought this for my wife, very good quality retro looking radio.Amazing sound for the size, Bluetooth connectivity, excellent dab radio receiver, loads of preset eq settings, controls and functions are easy to understand and use and can be powered by mains or batteries (sold separately).

When radio arrived I was cautious these radios are priced in upper reaches of scaleIt came in rather nice box and looked much better than pictures show when radio is unwrapped.I switched on and my local radio station came on after the scan.First thing that impressed me was a list of stations in alphabetical order is listed on LCD screen you scroll down to chose the station etc .Instructions are included so another positive here and clear and concise.Sound on initial listening is ok a vintage type of a valve radio a little bass heavy but not enough to be a negative. But I sorted on 2nd attempt instead of using graphic equaliser settings of types music genre I selected my settings and reduced bass to minus 4 and treble to plus 2 , here we get a more balanced sound and colouration is gone . Remember IAM being very critical as my main component Hifi is Yamaha and Bowers wilkinson floor standing speakers etcAscetic appearances is of a hybrid radio of 60s/70s but the Dab and other features move radio back in today's modern world technology .The LCD screen has nice analogue clock on it.So well done Roberts I may purchase a 2nd as a gift if long term this radio ( For Bedroom) performs well etc

Love the build quality, sound and reception.It has a wonderful 60s feel to it and the colour is great.

Excellent, speedy service, competitive price.Radio is ideal, easy to set up, excellent tone and features.

I spent some time researching my purchase of a new alarm radio. I'd had an old Roberts alarm radio which was great and still working fine, but it wasn't DAB. This RD70 in Duck Egg Blue is expensive, but worth every penny. Because the time display is small and set on top of the radio, I also purchased a simple digital alarm clock https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09277XRZ6?ref_=pe_27063361_487360311_302_E_DDE_dt_1 (not bothering with the alarm of course) so that I can see the time easily. This way I get a quality alarm radio AND a visible clock, albeit in two products.The instructions with the RD70 are really clear and it's relatively straightforward to operate/set up. The sound is rich and quite 'bassy'. It's good to have the opportunity to adjust bass and treble, BUT my only slight beef is that on low volume the treble (in voices for example) is lost. If you're hesitating, DON'T. It's a great product if a little pricey.I hope this helps

Looks good, Works well.Quality sound.

Got this with my birthday money as I was looking for a digital radio that I could stream to from spotify/podcasts etc. Initially I thought this was too expensive and outside what I'd budgeted. After looking at the reviews though I was tempted enough to order and I'm so glad I did! - Great sound quality. This is great for talk-radio stations as well as music. Signal strength is great even with the aerial retracted. Bluetooth performance seems great too - connects easily to various devices and range seems good.The build quality is really excellent feels very solid.I bought 4 x AA rechargeable batteries at the same time as I've read that it can get through these but for me, it will plugged in most of the time.It's simple to use and has a nice feel to the controls and buttons. I opted for the black colour which I think really suits it (some of the other colours looked a bit feminine in my opinion)Being picky here, I think the aerial feels a little cheap and doesn't pull out as smoothly as I think it should. The chrome colour of it makes it stand out and look like it's come off something else as it's pretty different to the gold/bronze colour of the rest of it.

As a professional musician and teacher with experience in both amateur and professional studio environments, I’ve been around some high-quality gear. After repeatedly coming back to this model during my research, I finally decided to purchase the Roberts radio—and I’m glad I did.The speaker is exceptionally well-tuned to the midrange, which more than compensates for a slightly restrained (but by no means disappointing) bass response. Given its portable nature, this is an understandable trade-off.That said, the vocal tones and horn clarity are among the best I’ve heard in recent memory. This makes the radio a perfect match for listeners of spoken word, jazz, classical, and folk—but regardless of your genre preference, I doubt you’ll be disappointed.The Bluetooth gain is a bit underwhelming, so don’t be afraid to crank the volume. It’s not a deal-breaker, just something to be aware of.Overall, a solid 5-star product. You’ll be impressed.
