I must be a bit odd. I actually own the LeMega M4+ and the LeMega M5+ and, to be honest, I can’t see why they changed the location of the buttons from the top (M4+) to the fascia (M5+), because other than the colour of secondary parts, I can’t fathom what was the difference. Both sound great- far better than (I think) they have any right to sound, given their diminutive dimensions.OK, so for both M5+ and M4+, what is GOOD?1. Sound quality for what is, after all, a unit measuring just 35cm (long) by 12.5cm (high) by 21.5cm (deep). It’s excellent - and best once you’ve figured out the equaliser function.2. Flexibility - it plays CDs, DAB, DAB+, FM, USB (so iPod and iPhone)3. Connection to a wireless server on your PC (using any DNLA server such as Microsoft Media Player or (my fave) Squeezebox).4. Construction quality. The veneer is real walnut - not a plastic wrap. The unit feels well made and solid.5. The look. For me, at leat, I think it looks great.6. The price. Very reasonable when compared to Pure and others.7. After sales. The company do respond to emails and you can get spare remotes from Amazon at a very reasonable price.What is NOT so good?1. The remote control sensitivity. Mine needs to be on-axis and no more than 2m away to work.2. The internet radio connection was recently changed (it connects via a portal). To LeMega’s credit, they found an alternative portal and the change was (mostly) seamless. But the new service does not allow the saving of custom stream addresses (for example those with passwords). So no more Calm Radio premium, and no more Whisperings PureStream for me, even though I paid for both streams. As a ‘Stop Press’, they have now (Aug 2019) re-added this facility with their new portal. I’ll update again once I can check that the new facility works as planned... Now on Jan 2020, I can confirm that it does. Bear in mind, though, that as it is portal based, if LeMega disappeared, then these custom streams would stop. The other functions should all work, though, including the radio, DAB, streaming etc.3. The tablet or phone app ‘Undok’ which does work and let’s you control everything from your device, but is very clunky when compared to something like iPeng for Squeezebox.4. The colour screen resolution is a tad lower than we expect these days. You can see each pixel.But all in all, I really like both units. If I had a recommendation it would be for the M4+ just on price. It has the same power output, the same software and the same colour screen. And it sounds exactly the same as the M5+. The difference seems just to be secondary colour choices (less cream) on the M5+ and no preset buttons at the front of the M4+ (but no control buttons at the top of the M5+ either)Both are a really solid choice. One reviewer commented on the max volume. Well, I can fill a room 5m by 3m with sound that is pleasing, and with the equaliser (there are both preset and individual bass and treble and loudness controls on the menu system) you can easily get a sound that either rocks or soothes, but certainly fills my room. It’s a 30W amp, and let’s not forget that this is a logarithmic scale. Twice as loud as 30W is NOT 60W, it’s 300W. I honestly think that 30W in such a small form-factor is great. My old Sharp GF-9191 from the 80s was the boombox everyone wanted- and it was 12W!!A previous reviewer said ‘it gives me pleasure every time I switch it on.’I completely agree.

This is my first all in one HiFi, after years of standard style micro systems, and I'm not disappointed. I bought it purely to hook up to my laptop on my desk, as all of my music is stored there as FLAC or WAV files. Good that it's got a proper Aux in. Setup is as simple as it gets, even for a technophobe like me, I've not even checked out the manual yet. Looked at the sound presets, but dived straight in to the equaliser and got things as I wanted. The unit sits on a shelf at head height, about 45cm in front of me, and the sound is superb. It really punches above its weight. My most listened to genres are Goa Psy Trance, Reggae and Avant Garde Electronica, with some classical & rock thrown in for good measure. It absolutely kills all of them. I was sceptical about the downward facing bass speaker, but it really does irs job well. Volume should be enough for anyone. Moving on, I delved into the DAB radio. Reception with the standard extendable antenna is faultless. Internet radio via Wifi is just as good. Internet & DAB were two things I never thought I'd use, but this has changed. Soooo pleased that I chose this particular unit. At the price, I'd be really surprised if there's anything to beat it. I'll totally recommend it.

The closest you’ll get to a Bose in a cheaper version. Have to play with the graphics depending on what your playing, but am happy with it, the price is a little steep I feel, but am happy with it.

I Have had a number of "All-in-one's" over recent years for our kitchen music centre from cheap to expensive and have found them all to be lacking in some way or another, from basic sound problems to irritating design shortfalls, then came the Lemega M5, the sound quality is very good and improved further with slight eq adjustments. As I have an outdoor aerial it was pleasing to find that the internal aerial could be removed for a connection via an F connector to my outdoor aerial and all the stations I wanted was well received, I didn't use its own telescopic aerial so can't comment on the reception there, I also am not interested in internet radio so cannot comment here either.The display is a delight and has clear and precise info on the track being broadcast. One very small thing is, pressing and holding for a second or two the round function knob on the top turns the device off this is also the mute as well so if it's not held long enough the sound is muted instead of turning off, slightly irritating but not a problem. As with a lot of modern electronic devices the instructions leave a lot to be desired, and could be improved. All in all this is the best for its size music centre I've owned and it gives pleasure every time I turn it on

This has brilliant sound. It is also extremely loud when cranked up. I had never heard of the brand before buying but am really glad that I took the chance and bought the unit. I have no regrets whatsoever. It was a replacement for an aged Bose Wave Radio that had no DAB feature, and which would have cost at least twice as much as this unit to replace with one that did have DAB. I can’t say that I have noticed any reduction in sound quality over the Bose. In addition I have internet radio and Bluetooth functions available as well if I choose to use them.I replaced the telescopic aerial with a roof top DAB aerial to get better reception. This is very very easy to do, provided you have access to an F Connector Removal Tool (available on Amazon). You need the tool because the aerial connection is recessed and difficult to get at. With the tool it takes about 10 seconds to replace the aerial, so it is not worth struggling to try to do it without the tool.I would throughly recommend this unit!
