AZATOM A2 DAB/DAB+ Portable Digital Radio, Sports Model, Compact Pocket Size, Rechargeable Battery (24-Hour Playtime), 40 Station Presets, Built-in Clock, Earphone Included - Silver/Black

I collected this on 16 February and was impressed from the start.On the downside, the supplied headphones were not the ones advertised with silicon buds but smooth plastic items that wouldn't stay in my ears even when sitting still. An email to AZATOM and they happily replaced them. The new phones are quite secure in my ears even when walking around.The radio is in my view solidly built, attractive and the control layout is intuitive. Tuning is quick and it's easy to move channels to presets. I live within line of sight of the Waltham transmitter so reception is good although in some local shops the signal drops intermittently. This is quite understandable as a headphone cable is not the most efficient form of antenna by any means.The audio quality is excellent. I have not checked the battery life although I have listened for at least 10 hours with the volume set quite high to penetrate my elderly ears. The charging is slow and I have emailed AZATOM to ask if using a more powerful charge would be harmful. I have only given 4 stars for battery life as I cannot confirm exactly how long it is.In summary, this little gem is excellent value for money.Thank you.

Fine little radio and arrived on time. It's easy enough to use and picked up nearly 80 DAB+ stations on the first scan. It's perfectly portable. The supplied headphones, whilst delivering a reasonably clear sound quality, sadly do not fit in my ears. Hunting down a different headphone has proved difficult so far. Azatom have been helpful and told me that the jack needs to have two black lines. I tried one with three black lines and it didn't work. I've located one on Amazon that I think will fit, fingers crossed!

This is a great personal radio . Easy to use . Great reception. Bright Display . Lock feature . Long battery charge ( important for me as I take it on long country hikes ) .My favourite personal DAB radio now .

This is the 2nd Azatom A2 radio I have purchased. It's compact size is ideal for travelling. A sturdy little radio with good sound and battery life.

After a full recharge the battery dies within hours when switched off..Absolute useless…

Had to return this as the battery life was terrible. Charged it up to full and then next morning, without use it said Battery Low. Shame, as the radio was quite good. Auto tuned and picked up a load of stations sound quality ok, but, supplied earphones were a bit poor. Sounded ok when played through an attached speaker. Nice sized radio and had high hopes, but as other people have found, the battery performance lets it down. Cant listen while it’s charging either, which seems mad.

Good piece of kit. Great sound and easy to set up.

Purchased this to provide a pocket size radio giving access to DAB services when not at home or in the car, to replace a slightly-damaged larger unit [Pure Move T4] no longer in production. I will be using it therefore primarily as a back up facility, and almost wholly for speech stations - so sound quality less critical. For what it is it represents good VFM - though I have not yet had it long enough to assess whether there will be any battery-related issues. The Fast Preset buttons are a helpful way of storing the relatively limited number of stations I cycle between on a regular basis.
