| Review summary | It doesn't get more prosaic than this, but for bedside radio listening the Gemini 19 is a solid performer. Lacklustre styling lets this DAB down, but if you've no interest in style and just want a slumber-stopper for the morning, the Gemini is as effective as any bedside radio 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
