We live with these radios in our homes to make sure that the performances are consistent, and we don't finalize our testing until we are certain of the sound quality. We make sure to test each model in a range of environments and against its chief competitors too, so you can be sure that the product will work just as well in your home, in whichever spot you've chosen to put it.

It's important for us to compare the performance of each product against the specs claimed by its manufacturers, which is why we take the time to ensure the battery life (in portable models), connectivity, feature set and sound quality is as good as the brands say it is. We test countless DAB radios every year at TechRadar, and that means we know exactly which features and specs to look out for. There are times when sticking the radio on simply can't be beaten and we want you to experience that at its best.

Why you can trust TechRadar We spend hours testing every product or service we review, so you can be sure you’re buying the best. The USP here is IPX7 waterproofing, which makes it a particularly good option for travelling or for poolside listening: where many portable speakers are splash-proof, the Tuner 2 is much more protected against accidental drops and deluges. Perfect by the sink, by a pool, at the beach, or if it's in danger of getting hosed while you're watering the garden. The charger here is USB-C but you'll need to provide your own power adapter. It's also worth noting that the Bluetooth here is 4.2, which doesn't have the range or bandwidth capabilities of more recent versions of the Bluetooth standard.ĭespite those niggles, though, this is a typically well-built JBL speaker that's very easy to use and you can get up to 12 hours of radio playback between charges. It's perfectly fine for music and speech but it's not a radio you're going to use for a party. The radio itself is excellent, but the pocketability of it means it has to have a relatively small speaker. The JBL Tuner 2 is a very portable and rugged DAB/FM radio that also doubles as a Bluetooth speaker. Now, whack on the radio, sit back – and relax. Here, you'll find our top DAB radio picks, whether you’re looking for a stylish option for your kitchen, an alarm clock radio for your bedroom or a portable radio to travel with.

We’ve tested all of the best DAB radios here a range of environments and for long listening sessions. Some options also give the best waterproof speakers a run for their money with decent IP ratings.

With DAB, you don't have to select your musical genre or playlists, plus the mix of spoken content, topical news and tunes can vary as much (or as little) as you'd like.Īs with some of the best Bluetooth speakers, several DAB radios have notable extras too, like mono and stereo arrays, access to internet radio stations (you will need the internet here), wireless Bluetooth streaming. I actually like the burden of choice being lifted from me. Smart speakers are extremely popular these days, but there’s still a place for the original 'wireless' (in its updated form) for cooking in the kitchen, working in a home office or relaxing in the garden on a sunny day.
