Roberts Revival RD70 FM/DAB/DAB+ Digital Radio with Bluetooth, Leaf (Green)

I had an old Roberts revival for years, in fact still have it, still going strong 25 odd years later. Fancied a DAB one as listen to Radio 6 music. I picked it up today in cream as cheaper than the others and it looks fab, sticking to the revival look and size. Easy to tune and the sound quality is superb. I recently bought a DAB/CD player from Pure because I also have an old Evoke Evo which is excellent but the sound quality for new Pure items has gone very downhill compared to the originals. No such problem with this Roberts, it has good bass, not at all tinny and just a fab little radio. I hope it lasts!

This an excellent radio - great sound, very easy to use and looks good

If you want a really good radio then this is the one to get. Easy to use ,great sound, excellent build quality. Pay a bit more for quality.

Bought this for my wife, very good quality retro looking radio. Amazing sound for the size, Bluetooth connectivity, excellent dab radio receiver, loads of preset eq settings, controls and functions are easy to understand and use and can be powered by mains or batteries (sold separately).

Excellent as a portable radio and the sound also very good The only thing is the price as I paid more than other sellers. This why 4 stars

Pleased with my radio. Geat sound,easy to set-up.

As a professional musician and teacher with experience in both amateur and professional studio environments, I’ve been around some high-quality gear. After repeatedly coming back to this model during my research, I finally decided to purchase the Roberts radio—and I’m glad I did. The speaker is exceptionally well-tuned to the midrange, which more than compensates for a slightly restrained (but by no means disappointing) bass response. Given its portable nature, this is an understandable trade-off. That said, the vocal tones and horn clarity are among the best I’ve heard in recent memory. This makes the radio a perfect match for listeners of spoken word, jazz, classical, and folk—but regardless of your genre preference, I doubt you’ll be disappointed. The Bluetooth gain is a bit underwhelming, so don’t be afraid to crank the volume. It’s not a deal-breaker, just something to be aware of. Overall, a solid 5-star product. You’ll be impressed.

Got this with my birthday money as I was looking for a digital radio that I could stream to from spotify/podcasts etc. Initially I thought this was too expensive and outside what I'd budgeted. After looking at the reviews though I was tempted enough to order and I'm so glad I did! - Great sound quality. This is great for talk-radio stations as well as music. Signal strength is great even with the aerial retracted. Bluetooth performance seems great too - connects easily to various devices and range seems good. The build quality is really excellent feels very solid. I bought 4 x AA rechargeable batteries at the same time as I've read that it can get through these but for me, it will plugged in most of the time. It's simple to use and has a nice feel to the controls and buttons. I opted for the black colour which I think really suits it (some of the other colours looked a bit feminine in my opinion) Being picky here, I think the aerial feels a little cheap and doesn't pull out as smoothly as I think it should. The chrome colour of it makes it stand out and look like it's come off something else as it's pretty different to the gold/bronze colour of the rest of it.

Call me impressed. This radio is beautiful. The built quality is excellent. The DAB+ and FM reception is great and the sound is excellent as well: full bodied and warm. I hesitated getting the almost 2 times more expensive Revival iStream instead. What if the DAB+ reception wouldn't work properly? I at least would have the option of internet radio. But fortunately DAB+ work flawlessly. A couple of years ago (in 2019) I had ordered its 1970's styled brother the Roberts Rambler, but I had it returned because of its audio, a lack of bass, for music the sound was rather thin and without substance. That radio, although beautiful, was built very light and hollow. But it appears Roberts has updated and improved that radio! The Rambler I got at the time was smaller and much lighter than my Revival RD70. The new Rambler, called Rambler Classic is a bit bigger and has a similar weight as the Revival RD70. (There is also the Rambler Uno, which has almost the same size as the Rambler I got and there is the Rambler mini). I am pretty sure this new Rambler Classic will sound great, at least more on par with my Revival RD70. If I had knew about this upgrade I may have bought this new Rambler Classic instead, well at least I would have had a hard time choosing :)

Perfect, had one over 15 years ago, this new updated model is great. Delivered on time no damage, so easy.

I stayed at the Bonham Hotel in Edinburgh Scotland and all the rooms had this radio They don’t sell this brand in the stores in Australia, so ordered on Amazon UK Lovely looking radio and worth every penny!!!

Good
