What is it: A bulky combination DAB / FM radio
What we think: This radio has noshed on one too many Big Macs -- be prepared to sacrifice most of your bedside table to its chubby body. It's the biggest DAB we've tested so far and, for a radio of this size, the sound quality is uninspiring

| Review summary | There's nothing more sickening than a fat radio, and the Aviator is one lardy monster. It's a mystery how the designers managed to create such a behemoth out of the same components we've seen packed into devices half this size. As if the unwieldy scale of the Aviator wasn't deterrent enough, the radio sounds weak and lacks bass -- there's little definition to the low end and broadcasts end up sounding wimpy and flat Read full review |
The PURE Digital Evoke Flow makes listening to online radio easy, and it looks good, too. By integrating a search engine and supplementing the Evoke Flow with an online portal, PURE has delivered the iPod of Web-connected radios. It's a device that makes online radio not only usable, but accessible and fun. We highly recommended it Read full review |
By focusing on a radio's core features, Tivoli has, in the Model DAB, produced a device that sounds great and is a joy to use. It's effortlessly stylish, and the buttons, switches and dials are a tactile delight. It isn't cheap, but this is a quality radio that could well outlast your local station's licence Read full review |

Vita Audio R2i
Thanks to its built-in iPod dock and great set of speakers, it could satisfy all your hi-fi needs
Philips AE5200
Great FM performance, but its DAB tuner is weak, so the AE5200 fell short of our expectations
