Portable DAB Radios

A portable DAB radio gives you the flexibility to enjoy digital radio in different rooms around your home and, depending on the model and its power options, while you're on the move. Compact designs are ideal for kitchens, bedrooms, home offices and other spaces where you don't want a large audio system.

When choosing a portable radio, consider its dimensions, power options and the features you use most frequently. Selected models offer battery-powered or rechargeable operation, while others are primarily designed for mains-powered listening.

DAB & DAB+ Digital Radios

DAB and DAB+ digital radios provide convenient access to compatible digital radio broadcasts without the need to manually search through traditional frequencies. Available stations are displayed by name on compatible radios, making it straightforward to find and switch between your favourites.

Many digital radios also include FM radio, giving you the flexibility to listen to both digital and traditional analogue broadcasts. Reception and station availability will depend on coverage in your area.

DAB Radios with Bluetooth

A DAB radio with Bluetooth combines traditional radio listening with wireless audio streaming. Alongside tuning into your favourite radio stations, Bluetooth allows you to connect a compatible smartphone, tablet or other device and play music, podcasts and other audio through the radio's speakers.

This makes a Bluetooth DAB radio a versatile choice if you want one compact audio product for both broadcast radio and audio from your own devices.

Our collection includes a wide selection of Roberts DAB radios, ranging from compact portable models to the distinctive Roberts Revival and Rambler ranges. Roberts combines traditional radio styling with modern digital features, providing options for both contemporary and retro-inspired interiors.

When comparing Pure and Roberts radios, consider not only the design but also features such as Bluetooth, portability, available presets, display and power options.

DAB Radios with CD Players & Smart Features

If you want more than digital radio, selected models provide additional ways to listen. A DAB radio with a CD player allows you to enjoy your existing CD collection alongside digital and FM broadcasts, while Bluetooth-equipped models can play audio wirelessly from compatible devices.

Selected smart radios may also provide internet radio and additional connected features when connected to a compatible network. Features vary considerably between models, so always check the individual product specification before purchasing.

Browse our range of DAB, DAB+ and digital radios and find the right combination of sound, style, portability and connectivity for your home.

Frequently Asked Questions About DAB Radios

What is a DAB radio?

DAB stands for Digital Audio Broadcasting. A DAB radio receives compatible digital radio broadcasts, allowing you to browse available stations by name rather than manually tuning through frequencies. Many modern DAB radios also include DAB+ and FM reception.

What is the difference between DAB and DAB+?

DAB+ is a newer digital broadcasting standard that uses a more efficient audio codec than the original DAB standard. Many modern digital radios support both DAB and DAB+, allowing them to receive compatible stations using either format. When buying a new digital radio, checking for DAB+ support can help ensure broader compatibility with digital broadcasts.

Do I need Wi-Fi to listen to DAB radio?

No. Standard DAB and DAB+ radio broadcasts do not require an internet or Wi-Fi connection. A compatible DAB radio receives the broadcast through its aerial. Wi-Fi may be required for additional features such as internet radio or certain smart services on suitably equipped models.

Can I get a DAB radio with Bluetooth?

Yes. A DAB radio with Bluetooth combines digital radio reception with the ability to receive audio wirelessly from a compatible device. This means you can listen to DAB radio and also use the radio as a wireless speaker for music, podcasts and other audio from your smartphone or tablet.

Can I get a DAB radio with a CD player?

Yes. Some digital radios include an integrated CD player, providing a convenient way to combine DAB/DAB+ radio, FM and CD playback in one system. Selected models may also add Bluetooth, USB or other connectivity. Check the specifications of each product to see exactly which playback options are included.

Can DAB radios receive FM stations?

Many DAB radios also include an FM tuner, although you should check the specifications of the individual model to confirm this. A combined DAB/DAB+/FM radio gives you the flexibility to listen to compatible digital broadcasts as well as stations available through traditional FM.

Can I use a DAB radio anywhere in the UK?

DAB reception depends on digital radio coverage and local conditions. Coverage is available across much of the UK, but reception can vary depending on your location, building and the position of the radio and its aerial. Station availability can also differ between areas.

What is the difference between DAB radio and internet radio?

DAB radio receives digital broadcasts over the air and doesn't normally require an internet connection. Internet radio streams stations through an internet connection instead. Some smart radios support both technologies, giving you access to DAB/DAB+ broadcasts alongside compatible internet radio services.

What should I look for when buying a DAB radio?

Consider whether you want DAB+ and FM reception, portability, Bluetooth, CD playback or internet radio. You may also want to compare the radio's size, power options, presets, display and alarm functions. Choosing the features you will actually use can help you find the most suitable radio for your home.
