Azatom Blackfriars DAB+ Portable Radio

This budget 13 x 9 x 18cm item, available from Amazon, ticks a lot of boxes. For £40 (£35 if refurbished units are available) you get a DAB+ tuner and a 1800mAh rechargeable battery. It also features a FM tuner, and a 3.5mm auxillary input. A USB charger and cable, 3.5mm audio cable and remote control are provided, along with a printed manual.

The sound quality is balanced and loud enough for an average size room. A small subwoofer helps to fill out the bottom-end, and the (surprisingly effective) equaliser settings allow you to tune the sound to your taste.

I initially purchased its more sophisticated 'brother', the Woodlands, which for the same price adds Bluetooth connectivity. Build and sound are identical, but the fascia controls are fiddly and confusing, changing the volume without the remote is almost impossible. And the LCD display is noticeably smaller.
