Desire X2 DAB/DAB+ FM Digital Radio with Dual Alarm, Portable Design, Battery & Mains Powered, AUX & Headphone Jack, 80 Presets, Sleep Timer (Walnut)

Bought for desk at work, great little dab radio. Easy to use and navigate controls and settings. Good sound and volume for size and cost. Also has Bluetooth functionality which worked great when I tested on my computer at work.Thinking of getting a second one for our motorhome.

Just the job , sound and size are ideal

Great for elderly uncle. Very light ( reason for purchase). Scanned DAB channels and Preset 2 channels for him ( only listens to them). Presses power button once to get out of standby again to switch on and presses button 1/2 for his preset channels. Easy to push over as soo light. Holing in hand and Seles was easier for him . He’s 88.

For listening to the radio

It’s not often that I am not impressed by a product from Amazon but on this occasion I must say this radio is a big disappointment. I had a perfectly good one which became obsolete because the station I listen to most ‘upgraded’ its signal to DAB+. I think that one cost about £60. This cheaper model is a great deal smaller than its picture on Amazon suggests and I found that if you turn the volume up above halfway the sound distorts. So much for the ‘upgrade’ to DAB+ being to improve the signal. The instructions for tuning the radio were woeful also. They said that when you found the channel you wanted, you should press ‘ select’ but there is no ‘select’ button. Thank goodness for the QandA section for the product, where other purchasers explained that the select button was the knob on the side of the radio which you had to press in when you wanted to select a particular station. I should have bought a more expensive model. You only get what you pay for after all. Scanning to put all the channels on the radio was remarkably easy so for that reason I give this product 3 stars. After some weeks of using this product I have decided that my initial review was grossly unfair. This is an exceptionally good product for the asking price. I play it all day long and the sound can be heard clearly even when the radio is in another room. The sound does distort at high volumes but if you want superior sound you are going to have to pay much more than £32.95. Further update as of 03.03.24 - Like Dorothy R I’m experiencing problems with this radio relating to its connection to the mains. The sound keeps cutting out. Fortunately I can still return it. Back it has to go. Very disappointed.

Easy to set up sound very good do not use batteries so don't know performance there.My only quibble is the power button leaves it on standby have to turn off at the plug which is a nuisance as it's behind the sofa

I read the reviews of this produce and noticed that a few people had commented on the poor battery performance. I should have taken more notice of these. I bought this radio to replace one which I only use in the bathroom for a limited amount of time each day, probably about 30minutes. In less than two weeks this radio went through eight batteries. My view is that it is clearly designed to be mains powered with batteries as a very occasional back-up. The overall design is a bit clunky e.g. switching on and off, storing pre-sets, but that's simply a mild annoyance. My advice is if you plan to run this off batteries, don't buy it. Overall reviews of this companies products and service, on Amazon and elsewhere, aren't that great. I'm sure there are much better products around.

Its a small radio and works like a radio should!
