| Review summary | Radios have a habit of ending up in the kitchen cupboard, dappled with paint and dented in a long-forgotten nail gun accident. If you're looking for something that will stand the test of time, the Oasis may well be it. If you can put up with the weight, this is definitely a radio to consider for those in more hazardous occupations 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
