Kmart: Audiosonic DAB+ Radio

UPDATE: Returned for a refund (05/06/16 )
What sold me ended up being the reason why we returned this radio – the lithium battery. Fully charged the radio only plays for a few hours !!! Even worse…this is also supposed to be a clock radio with a Alarm and Snooze buttons but in stand-by mode battery consumption is still excessive – hopeless.


Went into Kmart to browse through men’s clothing and inevitably ended up in the entertainment section.

Only recently bought a Retro DAB+ Mantel Radio, this one looks nifty and very portable so for $39 bucks let’s get another DAB radio.

 

 

 

 

 

 

What sold me was the internal rechargeable lithium battery – no dry cells.

It looks good and feels good…and surprisingly intuitive to setup and preset stations, which is good because even with reading glasses the instructions were to hard to read. Reception is good but a bit directional, pressing the Info button brings up signal strength so you can swing to and fro for max signal. Repeatedly pressing the Info button cycles through other bits of info – not bad. For a small radio the tone is quite pleasant.

Charge via mini USB, same as my Samsung Note GT-N7000 so I’m using that cable. AC adaptor is supplied.
