I wanted a radio that I could listen to at night, and I thought the sleep function would mean the not-great battery life wouldn’t be a problem.

Unfortunately sleep only seems to stop the audio – the radio remains on and so is flat by the morning. The screen is too bright so I have to cover it. Plus the lowest volume level (which is stepped) is too loud (FM even more so) and stops me drifting off, so I have to muffle the speaker!

The micro-USB socket is also a terrible idea – mine has broken because the socket is only fixed to the power PCB via the solder and a dab of glue; attaching USB chargers or battery packs (to stretch the battery life) has taken it’s toll.

A shame, because channel reception on DAB and FM is good, the size is perfect and the *exterior* build quality is good.

Also saving presets is inconsistent and difficult.
