Bluetooth DAB+ Radio & CD Player | Mains Powered 60 Watt Stereo Hifi System for Home | Inbuilt Speakers, LED Display | Dual Alarm, 20 Presets & FM | USB, MP3, AUX | Remote Control | OAKCASTLE DAB500

This Oakcastle dab500 player is excellent for the price its very robust and has a sleek design. The set up is simple plug in and it starts to search for dab staions in my location and what pleases me most is I didn't what it near a window and it still found plenty of stations in the centre of my lounge. CD player is very good too it plays my recorded cds as well although I found the sound was not quite as loud as a purchased cd, I tend to enjoy my music quite loud , tip...speech setting on EQ gives a good clear sound. Majority Tech support is great very quick to reply with any issues you may need answered also the 3 years extended warranty is simple to activate & a clear manual is included in the packaging which is really well made and secure for transit . Overall for the price this device is great and feels quality.

Excellent sound, compact, good looking, at an unbelievable Amazon price.

**added 2 stars back to 4 as the support was very good in providing a firmware update which seems to have fixed the unit - it is worth registering with them as they are very responsive** Simple and good sound for office etc. when working, but mine's playing up after just 6 months or so. Quite often when starting it will sit there saying 'waiting for pc wizard'. Then I restart again and message goes away but no sound on DAB (FM / CD is ok), restart again etc. and usually after about 3 goes it is ok for the day. I do like the unit when it is working but it obviously has some reliability issues. As well as this sometimes when I use the remote to change the volume it turns the unit off. Anyway - I'll keep using it in my office but I'm aware it is a 'no frills' option really and perhaps I should have gone up a level.

Did a good bit of research on this, excellent on Trustpilot. Looks great and sounds great. Extended warranty took 30 seconds to get. Scanned a barcode on the box. Wish all sellers were as easily accessed for warranties. Well packaged and included batteries with remote. Clock sets itself once you plug it in and the menu fuction is intuitive. Do not expect to have any problems at all, this is a quality item manufactured by a quality company.If I do I shall edit this review :)

Really good value for money. Well made,great reproduction easy to operate.

I was looking for something to replace the old transistor DAB radio that my wife was using in her office space, ideally a single unit with CD-playing capacity. And here it is! The standard of finish of the unit is very good - black (why is everything black these days!) woodgrain effect, with no rough corners or edges, no loose of flimsy switches on the unit or on the remote. Stands on four solid (rubber?) feet, and sits firmly on a the desktop. The unit weighs enough that you cannot accidentally nudge it. Moving it requires intent. Very easy to set up, very easy to use. Display panel clear and easy to read. The unit is easy to control via either the front panel or the remote. The built-in speakers are rear-ported, and definitely sound less boxy that some others that I have heard. The amplifier is powerful enough to drive the speakers comfortably and the sound quality, for what this is and for what is costs, is very good, far beyond what you might expect. If you're after hifi quality sound, then buy a hifi separates system, but this is for if you want something more compact. That said, I am quite happy to listen to this. I've heard many one-box systems with separate speakers that sound inferior to this. The sound profile is adjustable, but we've left it unchanged. The CD player works easily and smoothly. Unlike on my mini system, you cannot open this CD tray by accident. Only when you have selected CD mode can you use any of the CD functions. Which is a definite positive. Same applies for radio functions. Radio reception obviously varies according to where you live. So what follows is based entirely on my own experience. Have not tried to use the FM tuner, so cannot comment on its use. But my wife has successfully tuned and stored all sorts of DAB stations (or DAB+, as they are not distinguished), including many that she'd previously not encountered, just to try them out. Reception using the built-in aerial is fine, with no pops or clicks to mar the sound. Just to try it, I have played music from my phone using the bluetooth connectivity, and it is very easy. It just works! There are other connections on the back of the unit, which are not being used. The only one of these I find surprising is the headphone socket. Who wants a headphone socket at the rear! Not an issue for my wife as she'll not be using headphones with it, but surely to be any practical use it needs to be on the front of the unit. As the buyer, I am very pleased with this DAB500, it's everything I hoped it would be. And more to the point, my wife, who is the main user, is very pleased with it and has had no difficulty getting it set up and using it. My only disappointment is that although Majority designs and tests its products at their base in Cambridgeshire, manufacture is in China. I hope I am not the only person who would happily pay more money for something like this to be made in Britain. Packaging: The unit comes contained within a plastic bag for protection against dust, but no compressed squeaky foam, just bespoke-shaped cardboard to hold it secure inside the outer cardboard box. The remote and its batteries fitted neatly with the inner packaging. Well done, Majority! One final point is that the description suggests that it comes with no hard-copy manual. So I downloaded and printed the instruction manual from the website, so that I could give these to my wife with the package. But inside the box was a printed manual, A5 format, which is much easier to use, so I could have saved paper and ink if I'd known. If you buy one of these, check in the box before you print off the instructions. Would I recommend this product? Yes. Would I consider buying another Majority product? Yes.

è un prodotto ottimo ,facile da usare ,la riproduzione dei cd è chiara e di alta qualità ,consigliatoper il rapporto qualità prezzo

Ein solides Gerät. Stabiler Aufbau, steht fest, kein Wackelkandidat, einzig die CD-Lade ist etwas dünn, aber gut - für den Preis ist kein Luxus zu erwarten. Einfache Bedienung per Fernbedienung. Zur Toneinstellung gibt es nur die allgemeinen Einstellungen, die ich von MP3-Playern (wer hat heute noch sowas?!) kenne: Pop-Rock-Jazz-Klassik. Also keine richtige Toneinstellung, aber es reicht für das Hören im Schlafzimmer. Bei entsprechender Lautstärke entwickelt das Gerät dann auch richtig guten Sound - also kein Grund zur Klage. Das Radio nutze ich zwar nicht, aber der Empfang ist ebenfalls gut. Fazit: ein einfaches, schnörkelloses und in der Anwendung gutes Gerät

Réglages et utilisation très simple, bon son, très bon rapport qualité prix

Buen sonido

Excellente radio DAB avec lecteur CD je recommande, très facile à utiliser
