Could Be A Bit Better (2)
This Clock Radio is pretty good but does have a few minor set backs. Audio quality for its size is okay, but it doesn’t have a rich bass. Programming and set up can be a bit fiddly. The QI charging can get a little confused especially if you have a protective QI compatible case and its not exactly centred. It has 3 brightness levels of which the lowest is way too bright at night for my liking, I'm going to attach window tint to mine. DAB with time and date being automatic is great for daylight savings, as is the battery back up.

No clutter on bedside now!
My old clock/radio/alarm/charger died on me - so this was a great alternative to the many cables that cluttered my bedside table. Love the wireless charger for my phone, the easy set up and great sound from the radioDAB, and the dimmable LED .

Keeps reverting to first scanned channel
Doesn't remember the station it was set to. Can't specify a preset to use with the alarm. When turned on or alarm goes off it will play the first auto-scanned station.
Quite useless really.
DAB has very poor reception

Very good
Very good clock radio, the downsides are: at night the watch light is too strong even at minimum brightness, it's not so easy to setup functions and I gave up trying to use the wireless charger as it disconnects very easily, so I ended up connecting via cable, many mornings my wife found out her iPhone didn't charger over wireless.

Disappointing purchase
I was disappointed that the alarm could only come on to a default station which I don’t like. And then it is only on for half an hour. I wasted a lot of time trying to get it to do what my old one did with no success. I have gone back to my old Panasonic which is more user friendly, wasted my money

great features, easy to use
this is my second DAB clock radio
so much easier to use, set & alarm. more intuitive
my only down is with DAB, listening to desired station when turning off then on again. DAB has reverted to random station, not last used. instructions are vague, am i doing the right thing to operate it?

Great features, terrible interface
Love the size of this. Really hard to find a simple DAB and bluetooth clock radio. Love the automatic date and time, and nice clear display. Speakers sound surprisingly good given the size. Bluetooth works quite well - rarely have trouble connecting. Would be better if bluetooth supported multiple devices.
However, the UI is really poor, hence the low score. Confusing buttons and layered menus. Inability to choose preset DAB station for alarm. Hard to quickly navigate through preset stations. Frustrating that some settings - like alarm - can only be set when device is powered down. The buttons are small and hard to discern, particularly when in bed, darkness in the evening. The large display is dominated by large "time" meaning navigating menus is done in a very small text at the bottom of display.
A lot of this would be fine if the device came with a remote or had support for a remote control, allowing for much better control and interface. But the lack of remote means this otherwise powerful device suffers a lot.
