Highly competent and stylish radio, with good features. Definately consider.
UPDATE: Included some updates to my original review after one month of use.Quick highlights for those who do not wish to read a long review: a stylish, reasonably well built radio with reasonable portability (though not small) with decent performance and features, and in general recommendable to most people. Its price is very reasonable considering what you are getting with a very basic mono DAB/FM radio made of plastic can easily cost £30 to £40, with high end radios with similar feature (though probably better bass) costing way north of £200. It normally slick and nicely featured UI, does have some really silly UI quirks which is annoying, and maybe fixable via a firmware update.This is a very detailed review, as I think it deserves this, and hopefully would help someone who is on the fence. Purchased this myself after trying out many other radios (including purchasing a couple, and having to return them, one due to a fault, and other due to poor sound handling). This review is couple of days after purchase.Note this device DOES have a 3.5mm AUX in, something not mentioned on the product description at the time.Looks/Build QualityFrom the outset, this radio looks very good and feels solid. The case is manufactured wood (MDF or similar) and seems to be very well done. The front is metal, and looks good, controls seem firm and not flimsy. Even the rubber feet below are thick dome shaped rubber, not just simple thin pads. The aerial seems strong enough (not substantially different to any other radio I have owned, including a Roberts) Did not assess the quality of the power brick, but the USB power cable even includes a ferrite core! Really unusual at this price point where many companies just put the cheapest e-waste cables inside. The handle seems firm and solid, and very useful for carrying as many radios do not have any such handles. Someone has put some thought into its looks. Size wise, it is a little larger than most portable radios, but not too large and it is stereo, which partly accounts for its size.ChipsetAlmost all DAB/FM/Internet radios including LeMega’s earlier models use Frontier Silicon’s chips to do most of the Receiver, UI, and processing tasks. Whilst I have not opened this device to check, this does not appear to use that chipset, based on the UI, and other hints such as the use of Skytune as the internet radio aggregator. Not sure at this point if this is good or bad.Sound Quality. (UPDATED)Ok off the bat, the sound quality is “fine”, with voices clear, and sound processing being largely stable (no random dynamic volume adjustments that ruin the experience, etc). Especially bearing in mind that DAB in the UK (and some internet radios) broadcast with ridiculously low bitrates. It sounds more than ok in the vocal range and can go quite loud. However, it does not have any thumping bass. Sure it’s not completely “tinny”, as it does have a small bass port at the bottom, and with the custom Equaliser, together with careful placement of the radio with walls and the surface its reasting on, a credible bass sound can be achieved, but considering its size it probably could have been engineered to have more bass. There are smaller radios and BT speakers (usually using a Passive Radiator) such as the Roberts, and Anker Sound Core that provide a stronger Bass. This is only important if you put importance on thumping bass sounds.UPDATE: Ok, it seems like this speaker really needed to be "broken in", like times of lore. After running it for a while playing varied music with bass and treble with a gradually increasing volume to about 75%, the speakers definately "loosened up", and I have to admit it is now sounding pretty decent. Sure its not the big thumping bass of something like the Bose, but its definately a lot more "fuller sounding" now. Also note, it sounds a lot better when sitting on a harder surface, such as a wooden shelf/floor as the bass port is at the bottom. with a wall of some sort behind it. So positioning does make a difference. Of course it is not as bassey or loud as some BT speakers that are similar size, and Roberts, etc may have more bass, but for its price point and features, its pretty competent.DAB/FM Reception and playbackIt did pick up pretty much all the DAB/DAB+ and FM stations with ease. It can display detailed information of the station and display detailed reception info on one of the pages too. Both FM and DAB reception seems decent at my home. Maybe not class leading, but above average. sound comes through as well as the signal. If you are in a very good FM area you may get sometimes better sound on FM, but that is more due to the horrible compression done by many UK stations (quantity over quality)On DAB, the UI has one very silly flaw. Whilst listening to a station, if you turn the tuning knob, it doesn’t show a list of stations to scroll through but instead displays “2/45” at the bottom, so unless you know what the list is, that is not entirely helpful. You can get a list of stations if you hit the back key first, then you will see a list of the stations which you can scroll, but I think this is silly oversight on an otherwise slick UI (more later).BluetoothIt’s a capable Bluetooth device competently implemented, easily paired with my Samsung. It only supports the SBC codec as far as I can tell (no AAC/APTx/etc according to my phone) but that may not be a big issue considering the big picture and use case. Controls are well implemented, with the UI displaying the connected device name, track information/art and you can seek forward and back via the dial, as well as play pause. Volume is correctly linked to the phone. The Bluetooth is switched off when not selected, which I do like (some radios keep their Bluetooth on and connected to devices when when not on Bluetooth mode)Internet Radio/PodcastsSetup and connected to my Asus router pretty much straight forward, despite the fiddly entry of my password like almost all radios (it does have WPS support, though I didn’t want to use that). Since this does not appear to be a Frontier Silicon based system, it instead uses SkyTune for its directory. SkyTune has a very large selection of radio stations and also can preset different streams for each station, for example it includes both the geo locked hi res BBC streams for UK only, as well as the lower ones. A large podcast directory is also available. All internet content is grouped into various genres/country/types. From what I read, SkyTune, are responsive at adding suggested stations/podcasts to their main lists, which then gets picked up by the radio, and is done via their website. Sound is good, and the UI is slick. Searching is a bit of pain, due to the fiddly way of selecting letters as on most radios. It does suffer from the same UI flaw as DAB that turning the knob whilst playing does not immediately scroll through a list of stations, requiring the back button to be pressed first.App Support.Not being a Frontier Silicon based device, it does NOT support the UNDOK/OCTIV apps for mobile, which I found to be a disappointment. However, what the manual does not state, but I found from googling similar SkyTune based systems is that the device DOES have an inbuilt web site. You can connect to the IP address via a browser, and do rudimentary controls including adding streams (even ones not on SkyTunes directory) to your favourites. I have successfully added an internet radio stream I have created using AzureCast running on my NAS and it was able to connect and play it.I have not found a way to add a podcast via the web interface however (I can provide the stream to a single episode, just not the podcast RSS). The web page is quite basic however, and I do hope that they do a firmware update to give more capabilities.Favourites/PresetsNow this is where this radio is unique. It has 150 presets; however, all the presets are in one area, and not divided by DAB/FM/Internet. This is a bit of a gamechanger, as you just need to select the preset button (top left) and then scroll to the station you want. The device will switch to the appropriate receiver (FM/dab/internet) and play it. If you are giving this radio to an elder person, as long as you can set it up for them, this may be the most easiest way of using it, they just need to switch it on, press preset, and select what they want to hear, and then adjust the volume.General UIThe UI in general (apart from the DAB/Internet scrolling issues above) is generally very good. Aesthetically they stick mainly to a white on black scheme, only using colour where needed (art, etc) or where it does contextually help (such as use of green/red to sure good and bad signals). In normal use it looks more like the Black and white OLED UIs of some premium systems rather than the huge assault by colours on cheaper devices. Selecting items is easy, the mode selection is good, and common functions including sleep/timer are accessible from the mode dial rather than buried within menus. If you need to go deeper, such as the equaliser with pre-gain, or the AUX gain, all are available, just a little further back in the menus.All in all, it’s well thought out, and obviously someone paid a bit of attention, making that scroll issue mentioned above even more absurd! Hopefully someone will investigate that and provide a firmware update over the air.General Conclusion.This is a nice looking and very competent radio for its price point. There is just not many radios that are battery operated rechargable, have internet radio and are practical at this price point. Pure no longer make internet radios that can be battery operated, and when they did (like the connect) it was very cheap looking. With Roberts you need to go to their Rambler Max - £189 + the battery pack £39 to gety anything similar (mono, though with better Bass). It certainly does not look cheap and plays sounds with little or no distortion. It is a little let down by some very silly seek UI on DAB/Internet, that should be able to be sorted via a firmware update. The lack of thumping bass may be seen by some as a showstopper (it was initially for me too). However, this is more subjective than objective. The fact it is NOT based on a Frontier Silicon chipset like most DAB radios (including high end ones) is a bit of a concern for longevity and support, but so far seems competent, will update later if my opinions change.Note this device does NOT appear on their website either, assuming its a bit "new".
