Available in cream, green and blue, the Roberts Rambler BT Stereo features a faux leather (vinyl)-covered carry handle and panels that stretch right across its back, with clean oak panels either side of a chrome and black speaker grille.

You can make adjustments to the sound via the ‘My EQ’ area, where you can play with the bass and treble. The quality of the signal and, as a consequence, of the music received, is significantly better than that of FM radios. A retro-styled DAB/FM radio with a museum-like 1950s look, it brings the wireless bang up to date by adding a large colour LCD display and Bluetooth streaming from smartphones. Smart speakers are popular these days, but there’s still a place for one of the best DAB radios for cooking in the kitchen, working in a home office or relaxing in the garden on a sunny day.

It’s far from ugly, but compared to the faux leather and wood panelling that features in the design of rival DABs, the Stone Grey (an off-white) or Charcoal-coloured plastic chassis is utilitarian. Unlimited number of stations: Reception of up to 30,000 stations and streaming providers from all over the world via DAB+ technology.

Similar to the other products in the Elan portfolio, the Pure Elan E3 portable radio is slim, sleek and lightweight. Pure DAB radio alarms are also available with integrated/external batteries and, depending on model, colour display. For those looking for a radio for the kitchen or bathroom, the Pure Elan Connect offers a fantastic one-box solution. At full volume the radio fills a kitchen and can still be heard over a kettle or cooking without the sound distorting.The radio comes with a vivid full colour display and a clean button layout, making it quick and easy to navigate. With 3-inch stereo speakers and a 20W output, too, it can crank up to party levels while maintaining a rich, balanced sound. Once setup is complete – the world is your oyster, with the Pure Elan Connect providing access to 25,000 radio stations. Saying that, digital radio overage worldwide still isn't as extensive as AM/FM radio - but that's only because analogue radio has been around for longer.
