Introducing the KitSound™ Pixel
As well as giving you access to hundreds of digital and analogue stations, the KS Pixel DAB/FM radio is ultra portable and has an alarm function too.
More Music
Our Pixel DAB/FM radio has a dual alarm with the option to wake up to the radio or a buzzer and a sleep and snooze function, but it's much more than just an alarm. Giving you access to hundreds of digital stations, the Pixel provides a wider selection of music, with up to 10 presets for ultimate convenience.
Easy to Use
Extremely easy to use, you don't need to worry about remembering wavelengths and frequencies or fine tuning a station to get the best reception - simply choose the name of the station from the Pixel's LCD display.
Ultra Portable
Thanks to its tiny size and the fact that it has up to 8 hours of battery life, the Pixel is ultra portable, so you can wake up happy wherever you are.
The KitSound Pixel
Unsurprisingly, waking up to music in the morning can put you in a better mood than waking up to a buzzer. Say good morning with the KitSound Pixel.

This is an actual picture of my DAB radio I got from Morrison's a couple years ago. I hardly used it but I was doing some decorating last week, so I thought OK I hate DAB and that radio, but I'll give it a go, as you can see it was a frustrating experience that led me to destroy the very radio I'd paid £14.99 for. The two factors that caused me to insert a hammer in to it are as follows:
1. DAB is a completely hopeless digital radio implementation, so bad I hit my radio with a hammer
2. The menu system on the radio was as badly implemented as DAB, in the end it was too much and out came the hammer.
Looks like I'd already hated on the radio before in this post some 5+ months ago, so it was overdue for death.
I've looked for the manual for the Kitsound Pixel on their website and they couldn't be bothered to list one, so I'd be wary. If this is as difficult to use as that Lowry crap I killed off then this is £9.99 wasted, well it's wasted anyway as DAB is CRAP!

So you had a bad experience 2 years ago bought a DAB radio from morrisons which didn't work as you'd hoped then smashed it up with a hammer.
2 years down the line you rant on any deal that involves a DAB radio or at least it seems' hating others because you bought a lemon.
Not sure I follow your logic their but eh if this post helps you let off steam even though the two are completely unconnected then fill your boots :smiley:

I've got one and they're perfectly fine. I've got it plugged in in the kitchen and it does me perfectly if I'm in there. As long as you don't expect anything major, you can't go wrong for a tenner.

Great price. Rechargeable would make it a great item. Heat though

While this is thought of as a good brand, and the price is right, I think a 2w output will sound lacking in bass. Hopefully the op can let us know when his arrives. Should be fine for voice radio though.

To all of you who are planning to buy this, read the reviews at Amazon. There seems to be a lot of issues with this radio.

I don't see anything about it being mains operated. Does it come with a power supply is there a socket to use your own? Thanks
