Advantages: portability, sound

Disadvantages: Arial is weak

Had this for a good few years now, to replace a much older Sony FM radio that died with the times.

This radio is incredibly lightweight and portable, perfectly possible to carry this around with you around the house without being an issue.

Quality>>>> Being Sony, the quality is evident, the buttons have a good substantial feel about them, and the display is neat and crisp.

Features>>>> Storage of all your favorite dab stations, up too 3, button to change the color of the screen, volume and seek. Not overwhelming on the features front, but what more do you really want from a radio. Easy enough to change using auto tune.

Sound>>>> Despite its very small size the volume goes up pretty loud, and of very good quality when coupled with dab.

Had an issue with the arial, being that it has become incredibly difficult to extend it as it is very delicate when fully extended, and has bent.

180, width*100, height*30, depth.(mm)

Also features a hold button, and sleep button.

Make sure you get yourself a set of decent rechargeable batteries with this as well, or you'll find yourself buying batteries endlessly if you listen to it a lot.

Would recommend to a friend, 9/10

Summary: very portable, good quality for the low price
