Anyone seen any offers ?

Mine has it too. Think they all do.

My Sony DAB alarm clock radio (XDRDS12IP) doesn't suffer from it.

Hello fellow HUKD'ers.

I bought one and it's pretty decent. But I have one query, if I'm listening on DAB to a station with a very good signal, if I put the sound to "zero" I can hear lots of hiss - just like an old radio. Does anyone else have this?

It's not a massive problem (as I listen to the radio with the volume up!) but is bugging me,

Mine never got sent, have raised a claim via eBay for non delivery, appalling service, won't be buying from them again.

That's a great accessory for the power adapter thanks. Incidentally regarding sound quality, I feel myself as having been a victim of hi-fi in the past and the endless quest for perfect sound. As I got older I've gone a bit anti-hi-fi, in that I realise that if I'm in a good mood even music from the most rubbish tiny speaker is enjoyable. Obviously my Pure setup is rather coloured, I got my Yamaha subwoofer operating up to 200 Hz, I've got no idea what the mid-range drop-off of the Pure radio is. I ran it for years without the subwoofer. I find the more background music is the more space there is my imagination and the less tiring music is so I can listen to more.

The kit sound really throws out a big sound which is very pleasing and for me the real stroke of genius is having a tactile on off which can be paired with a remote control plug socket. If I listen to the radio and get a phone call I can remote control turn it off and on through the plug socket or if there is a really awful song I hate. And the linear volume controls wonderful as well. You do get a few niceties with the Pure, I leave mine on the auxiliary setting at nearly full volume with the Bluetooth dongle plugged in and there is no hiss whatsoever so that's a little touch of luxury. That said I so wish I bought more of the kit sound for presents but such is life.

Well I cannot comment about the external speaker because I just have mono with my Pure Evoke 1-S and certainly am a Hi-Fi/Home Cinema nut myself, having either owned or owning Marantz, Denon, Pioneer, NAD, Sony, Yamaha, Sherwood Newcastle equipment over the years alongside Mission speakers when they were still designed and manufactured here.

I find the sound disappointing in comparison to this Kitsound, lacking not only in volume but definitely across the mid range, certainly as a mono speaker my Pure Evoke 1-S is definitely hollow in comparison, alongside far weaker amplification. Build quality obviously is far superior with the Pure Evoke 1-S, but I think they are nowhere worth the asking retail price...I fortunately got mine a few years ago from a HUKD from a PC World for I believe £25 or £30...a bargain then but always found the sound output lacking. This discussion on Amazon also shows others less than impressed with the [Evoke].

With relation to the round pointy power adapter, I intend to buy an adaptor, considering the micro USB port is voltage railed only a tip insertion is actually more secure.



Pair that to a cheap 2000mah power bank and increase the rechargeable battery in the unit 3 fold, 18 hours puts it in the same capacity as the Pure Evoke 1-S I am putting on eBay.

I do have two other Pure radios myself, the Bug (far better sound than the Evoke 1-S, but very dated) and the car one a Pure Highway 300di.

Funnily enough, I also have a Pure evoke 1s with the extended speaker I'm pretty amazed you say the sound quality of the kit sound is better, the kit sound is perfectly pleasing. I'm a hi-fi nut and have packed up my Denon mini system in favour of the pure evoke, using a Logitech Bluetooth adapter with one of the outputs running to a Yamaha subwoofer. It's not ideal because I have to keep the volume up loud for the Bluetooth but I use the pure as a Bluetooth speaker mostly. It might be personal preference but I find all the Pure radios and I have three have a beautiful sound, back in the day I worked at Dixons and some of the expensive Panasonic and JVC cassette radios had that same beautiful treble, like listening to a beautiful bell

I was very disappointed that the kit sound had a round pointy power adapter, if it was Micro USB it would have been fantastic, got charge points all round my flat, so it's very interesting to know about the one by one. Also I would have preferred touch sensitive buttons, normal buttons are great but I resent the extra leverage required when reaching.

In fairness they did have a higher influx of orders than anticipated, 1000 sold in the Black, oversales of those filtering into the white of which they sold around 500, and then how ever many of the sales of the light blue...all went rapidly. This is the reason for the delay in dispatch...unfortunately for yourself Interlink have let you down most likely due to Christmas workload with deliveries.

I still have an order from the 13th that was only dispatched today (16th) and due by Interlink on Monday, my other separate order for two units also on the 13th was dispatched on Wednesday (15th) and was delivered by Interlink (16th).

I bought one - but still haven't got it. Was estimated for delivery 13th - not dispatched until 15th and supposed to be delivered today. But somehow it never even left the depot yesterday - now it's at Birmingham, with estimated delivery for Monday! So much for the next day service they advertised.

To be honest the build quality of these are no match for my existing Pure Evoke 1S, neither is the display OLED, but the sound quality is much better as well as much louder and the tuner sensitivity is top notch picking up DAB stations perfectly.

Interestingly to note, these are also marketed as 1ByOne DAB on Amazon, only difference being the screen shape, but sell for £43. At RRP certainly Kitsound are ripping off consumers for the same product, however at £18/£20 delivered these are an absolute steal.



Have to say I have been impressed with the comms from Kondor too...although due to being busy you get the generic out of office reply in fairness I have had replies the next day from "Charlotte" who remained courteous and apologetic about the delays which clearly are understandable considering the influx of orders in such a short space of time with these. I have ordered four, two have so far been received substituting the out of stock black for white after confirming with myself (some other retailers would simply have cancelled the orders) brilliant service especially with Interlink (DPD) delivery service.

Interesting to note, the ones I have received both have the small jack rather than micro usb socket for power, but also rather than touch sensitive buttons on the top of the unit all have tactile ones instead....an improvement if any of the reviews are to go by.

ps how does one get an alert for a price drop again please? cheers

That is low I always thought dab is high watts

this was a great deal, I wish I'd bought more than one. However is bit of a stretch to imagine these at|£75 they are just a nice bit of Chinese made equipment slightly more than the sum of its parts. It's a winning device as a whole. The sound quality is adequate it's funny how convenience is more important than sound quality.

what a deal this was, retail at £75 each got 2 for £36 as you got 10% off for buying 2 or more. quality DAB radio.

I have just tested the power usage and the figures are very low for a DAB radio.
In standby mode, no display on, it is under 0.5w, with display on low, 0.6w, display on full, 0.7w.
Radio on, no display, 1.2w, with display on low, 1.3w, display on full, 1.4w, these figures will also depend upon volume settings but mine was set on medium volume.

Yes, UK and European plugs.

Yes mine did.

Funny enough is that Iam the OP and I still has not received mine. On another note...for those who received their radios..did they come with UK electric plug? Someone in this thread said it did not!

I totally agree with regards to its DAB reception. I fully pulled out the aerial so that it could scan and store all available DAB stations near me. But it seems that wasn't necessary as I pushed the aerial all the way back in and all the stored stations played normally without any loss of signal. So happy since that long aerial is an eyesore when fully pulled out.

The fact that it plays DAB stations without having the aerial needing to be extended,

That it has Bluetooth,

That it has reasonable battery life, and that the battery can be easily replaced,

And that it offers good sound quality for the price paid...

...makes it a steal at £20!

This has got to be the best £20 I've spent in a while - I live in a little village where the DAB signal is beyond dreadful. Owned 2 existing digital radios (since before I moved here) and cant receive a single station on them. Bought this Kitsound one only really to use as a bluetooth speaker, wasn't expecting the DAB to work at all but hey presto it does and with a great reception!! So happy I've just bought a white one too to use in the kitchen :-)

Is anyone else who has received theirs amazed by how the tiny Nokia BL-5C removable battery with a small capacity of around 1000mAh can power this for up to six hours? While I haven't tested the full potential of the battery life, such a small battery with a quoted life of six hours seems too good to be true?

My phone has a 3000mAh battery and if I were to play continuous music using its small speaker on full volume with the screen off, it would die after around three hours.

I also thought the white version would be a better choice for the kitchen, but it having a rubberised finish I suspect the white or blue would get a little grubby over time changing settings whilst I'm preparing dinner.

Anyone had any experience yet. I like my one however it has a rather strange problem. Occasionally the Bluetooth will cut out momentarily every few seconds. There's no rhyme or reason. It will be working fine for 20 minutes and then the sound will start cutting out for an instant, anyone else had this problem. I connect to many different other Bluetooth devices so it's not my phone. Apart this is a lovely little package and you can choose a preset without having to look at the device.

We bought one to replace our ageing Pure Evoke 1-S, rather have this than try and tag a bluetooth dongle to the 1-S...pleased to know that the mid range and tweeters are better, found the 1-S to be really hollow and the volume did not go up too loud either. Clarity over a muddied bass with such a small unit I feel is more important.

Perhaps experiment with some foam plugging in the rear bass port.

​Shame they didn't release at the same time as the black. Would have preferred these colours - better for the kitchen

Tried it in compassion to my Pure evoke 1 side by side and no where near as bassy, a win for pure evoke there but mid range and tweeter's on the kitsound is better though.

If anyone still wants one they now have Light Blue & White

I had an email from them today -

Hi there,

Thank you for contacting Vodafone eBay today!

We appreciate your patience at this very busy time.

I hope this has helped to answer your query, if you need help with anything please, please do not hesitate to message us back here!

Have a great day,
Nathan

Ordered on the 10th, received on the 13th.

Very happy with it. Good sound for the price if I'm honest.

I ordered the KitSound Jive DAB Radio on the 11th Dec

still nothing from them.

Got an email from them

Hi,

Thank you for your recent purchase from our eBay store.

I am writing to inform you that due to an unexpectedly high volume of orders there is a delay in our dispatch times so postage is not going to be as speedy as it usually is.

I have spoken with our warehouse team and unfortunately they are not able to give a definitive date on when orders will be dispatched but all UK orders will be delivered by the 23rd of December at the very latest as long as they are placed before 2pm on the 21st of December.

As soon as your item is dispatched you will be emailed with a tracking number which you can use to keep up to date with your order.

Please let us know via eBay messaging if you need to cancel your order due to this delay.

I am sorry for any inconvenience caused by this and we really appreciate your patience at this busy time.

If you have messaged us through eBay and have received our out of office do not fear we are here working as hard as we can to get your Christmas presents to you as quick as possible J

Thanks,
Charlotte Banyard
Key Account Manager

Got them today

One of my two orders has just been dispatched now, so anyone that is waiting keep an eye on your inbox.

I paid via Paypal on Saturday evening and still awaiting dispatch.

I wonder if the dispatch of orders might be related to the method of payment used?
I ordered mine on Saturday, paid via PayPal, and received the radio on Tuesday.

Ordered mine on Saturday evening and no word of dispatch yet.

What's going on then? Should I message them or just be more patient?!

Harsh, I texted it to a colleague whose arrived today. Mine was ordered probably around the same time as hers and confirmed shipped today with Interlink to be delivered tomorrow.

Ordered Saturday, arrived today.

I am the op and still not received mine although I ordered before posting the deal

When did people buy there's and when was it received? Mine was ordered Sunday and hasn't been dispatched yet?

Glad I didn't pay more than £20, sound isn't fantastic, although it does go pretty loud. Feels a bit on the cheap side, can't imagine it'll last years.

no probs :wink:

I wasn't arguing with you, I was merely providing evidence that the item might not be as described in the listing.

​sorry..I meant Avinashpat

if there is a mix of units with some without plugs I will not feel sorry for all the idiots who bought multiples of this unit to resell in eBay. if they open the box to check if there is a plug they can't sell it as new...if they don't open the box to sell as new sealed and the buyer doesn't find the plug they will have to refund and may get negative feedback...this will teach them a lesson

no, mine was good :wink:

so is it the case of just one crap unit which spoony100 unfortunately received?

Mine just arrived and has one in the polystyrene at the end

If anyone is missing the UK plug, check the outside of the polystyrene ends, that is where mine was packed, it was not USB though.

The battery used in the radio is the BL-5C, which is the same type used in the mini keyboards that have been on here recently.

Or in the true spirit of Chinese ingenuity, the "Swiss Army" multi-plug version is also just £0.99 delivered:

PS You'll need to copy & paste that eBay link in, as the HUKD affiliate link thingy borks it.

yup - that seems to be only option now.

get it for 0.99p and Estimated between Wed. 4 Jan. and Thu. 16 Feb 2017.

+1. no micro usb port.

Has any one else had the same problem? Any one received the unit without a UK plug?

Thanks for the diagram, but I have the unit in front of me. How much proof do you need that the ones shipped do not have a micro usb port?

//edit: and my manual does not have an illustration with a usb port, it has the tiny jack.

The eBay listing states:

Introducing the KitSound™ Air

Rich and vibrant sound is the way that everyone should enjoy their music, and that is exactly what the KitSound Air offers: 5 Watts of powerful sound, DAB and FM radio, a UK and EU plug, and Bluetooth connectivity.

...

Easy Connectivity

There is even an alarm clock with snooze and sleep functions built-in. Because we want you to be able to take the KitSound Air with you wherever you go, we've even included a UK and EU plug adaptor.

There seems to be little point in having a rechargeable battery, especially a non-standard one, if there is no way of recharging it.

I'm not sure how accurate the manual's illustration is but the power input looks like a Micro USB 2 port and it mentions a USB charging cable.

You can get a usb cable which should fit the device from ebay for around 99p from hong kong.

perhaps this is an old version hence they were sold off cheaply?

again very clever ploy. the ebay listing states "Because we want you to be able to take the KitSound Air with you wherever you go, we've even included a UK and EU plug adaptor."

and like everybody i assumed its UK and EU micro usb plug adaptor.

Hmmmm.... Very strange. The KitSound website quite clearly states:


Link: http://www.kitsound.co.uk/product/speakers/radios/air

Really strange, wondering if there are different revisions, must be.

so very true. i saw the video on youtube and fell for it.

correct - the old nokia charger. wonder if i can still get a adapter cable on ebay.

That is really strange, both the manual online and a video I saw on youtube for the Kitsound Air Dab show it with a micro usb 5v input.

i would hv extremely pleased if its mico usb, but its not. if my memory is right - its one of the charger pin used during nokia times. have to look in the attic if i havent binned it yet.

Doesn't use micro usb, needs a 5v 1.5a adapter similar to the old nokia chargers (really thin)

Do you not have anywhere in the house a standard micro usb wall charger to try it out with in the meantime?

The adapter is inside one of the polystyrene bits. Got mine today, not bad for £20, but would be very disappointed if I had paid the RRP!

It's not really vodafone though. It is Kondor, however vodafone are far from reputable, I had a right debacle with them in May this year and one look at their customer service records is enough to put anyone off...disgraceful company.

the box contents clearly states

"Main power UK and EU adaptor"

have i been delivered incorrect item?

not expected from a reputed company like vodafone. the small timers on ebay do a better job when it comes to after sales support.

they are a clever lot - just to get rid of old technology stock, they chose not to put the picture of the back of the item. unless i get a 5v adapter to USB on ebay, i am not going to keep it. its messy carrying so many adaptors.

If you try contacting via eBay email you get the out of office email.

the customer services at kondor was least helpful so to speak. suggested i should contact seller from ebay. without the power adapter - its practically useless.

No USB listed on the box contents (on the side of the box)

i got mine delivered. its not micro USB. its needs a separate 5v adaptor, which strangely is not shipped with my order.

Considering I cannot contact them, just tried phone a useless guy told me they have that autoresponse left on sometimes when they are busy but still receive them...and to just 'try again' no direct email no direct phone line to give....seems that Kondor are just as frustrating to deal with as the 'real' Vodafone.

So two of my orders have yet to received a despatch notification, a further third order is not available in 'black' and cannot confidently respond to accept the offer of 'white'.....meanwhile you are going on ignore.

I don't want to post a phone number on here but there is a number here:

http://kondor.co.uk/contact

I would swap with you if it were practical. I'm sure my niece would prefer a white one.

Now I do have cause to have little faith, cannot contact them over one of my orders.

I have just had that, one of my orders is no longer available in black so offered white....cannot reply!!!!!

Order date - 10th Dec.

Arrived just now - fantastic delivery and nice unit.

Got a txt, poor driver was going to deliver when I popped out - replied to place in a "safe place" - got an acknowledgement from the driver a few minutes later - and delivery as planned.

"Your Kondor Limited parcel number 1x9x6959462709 Your parcel is waiting for you at home, (left in safe place) at 10:21 on Tue 13 Dec 2016"

Had a quick test of the unit - not bad at all. Arial is a little "loose" but all in all a good value unit - I wish I had bought 2.

Ordered on Friday morning, and no dispatch email yet.

I sent them a quick message via the eBay "Contact seller" link. After the message had been sent, a note popped up stating:


I'm hoping this just means they are concentrating on dispatching orders.........

:wink:

I never once said I was getting wound up, you did that process for me, once again over dramatising.

I ordered two, actually. If you had read the whole thread, you would know that. I love how I'm being accused of being a pedant when I'm not the one getting wound up over a delayed dispatch notice for an item ordered on a Saturday two weeks before Christmas when the item listing itself says that over 1000 have been sold. Having worked in a warehouse when I was younger, I can imagine what processing 1000 units of that size might involve; not to mention the other items they have sold as there were other very good deals on over the weekend one other of which I also bought.

That figure is also key in that no company is going to rip off 1000 customers on eBay in two days because it would guarantee 1000 negative feedbacks. I draw my experience from using eBay which I have been using for over 15 years.

And find any company selling on eBay with a similar turnover which doesn't have a handful of negative comments about delivery. Things get lost, especially this time of year, and people get refunded. I still leave positive feedback if I get a refund or reasonable customer service - some of the feedback comments on there were from people who could not even read the dimensions in item description and I bet none of those complaining about delivery went without their item or a refund eventually.

Incidentally, I received notification of dispatch this morning.

Ah ok thought that was spam at first I read somewhere.

I have just received a text and an email from Interlink saying that my item will be delivered today, and giving me the name of the driver, and the time of delivery to within a one hour time slot, so a pretty good service for me.

I can assume then the delays in despatch are through the sheer volume of items sold at these heavily discounted prices and hopefully will receive a despatch notification today.

Do you over dramatise everything anyone comments on? Referring to post number #91 it seems so.

Let me reiterate again pictorially....



Seeing that you never gave a proper response to my question here (assuming you have yourself ordered at least one of these), is it not reasonable to ask on a forum within the very thread in question if anyone else has had a despatch notification? Especially considering (without your statistical analysis) some of the complaints drawn against the seller relate to delivery delays/having to chase up the seller.

I gained VIP status here for deal postings and being helpful, please don't expect one yourself for being a pedant.

Calm down guys..I have just received the dispatch notification for the two I ordered. I ordered before from Vodafone/Ebay and never had a problem

21 negatives vs 2162 positives in the last month (over 100:1 positive) and only seven of the negatives are delivery related - that doesn't sound a lot to me - 7 out of 2190 or 1 in 300 had a delivery problem.

Time to call Watchdog - or even Crimewatch!

Steady on, I am referring to the overall negative feedback on eBay not on this item. There are a lot of comments relating to having to chase up for delivery in general...considering I had an 'estimated delivery of 13th' I think it is quite reasonable to ask if anyone else has had shipment.

How can anybody have left negative feedback on this item, it was only listed on Saturday. None of the negative feedback is remotely relevant.

How about the 99% positive feedback?

And how about the fact that it has been relisted at £75? I hope yours arrives and you feel fulfilled.

Interlink are the courier's handling my delivery, they have been spot on with the delivery notifications when I have had deliveries by them previously.

I am guessing with the sheer volume of orders they have not been able to get them all out today. I did not order until very late Saturday evening. Good to hear they must do a decent courier I presume DPD if they give a delivery window.

I ordered on Saturday and have been given a delivery date of tomorrow ( Tues) with a tracking number and a promise that I will get a text and email one hour before delivery

Anyone had despatch on this? Estimated delivery via 24 hour courier states tomorrow (13/12) yet not had any despatch info.....some of the negative feedback doesn't instil any faith.

Okay. it was a joke but smileys are a bit ambiguous - you could have been smiling at those who were behind you in the queue, as it were. Besides, that's just the sort of thing which people do. I bought a Parkside glue gun from Lidl a couple of weeks ago for £7.95 and when I took it back with a fault, couldn't get it replaced because there were none in stock. I look on eBay and somebody is selling them for £19.99 + £2.80 shipping (almost three times the original cost) - for all I know, that person is a member of this forum. They are selling loads of other Parkside (as well as other brands exclusive to Lidl) items at grossly inflated prices so one can draw one's own conclusions.

The only upside is that they have a feedback score of 355 (meaning that they haven't sold much in their three years on eBay) and most of their almost 100 items say that they have more than ten in stock so there is a possibility that they may get caught holding all these items when the items are restocked which according to Lidl may be in March.

It is, for £19.99 :wink:

Do you think dab+ is worth it on tiny dab radio with mono sound ?

Gone for the jive dab for work.

http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/kitsound-jive-dab-radio-cream-gold-from-vodafone-store-ebay-2571300



Someone had bought 30 of them !! Early xmas bonus lol

already being listed on ebay, surely people do not have the yet

Hmmmmmmmm, that would clearly have represented 15 more on Vodafone's eBay site, for other's (such as myself ... ) to have been able to buy one too perhaps?. :-(

Oh well?.

I know exactly how you feel.

I was in Sainsburys earlier and they had loads of cereal HALF PRICE. Somat very dodgey about that - so i put them back. No flies on me.

The Bluetooth Speaker with the remote for £29.99 looks pretty good. Useful option for internet radio with raspberry pi.

Good prices but the original prices are a joke, These are just the same as the cheap supermarket radios that are about £25-40. I ordered one of the Jive ones to use outside as it is £10 cheaper than the similar bush one from Argos.

Relax, it was a joke hence the :wink: at the end of the post :smiley:

I'm not too bothered about Bluetooth to be honest so I've gone for the Jive radio instead. Loads of stock in difference colours.

Did you?

So, you thought you would come and tell people why they can't get this deal.

I thought that the whole purpose of this site was to share opportunities - not to stuff everybody else and stop them getting a bargain and then gloat about it.

Call me old fashioned... blah, blah, blah... blue in the face...

Almost feels like people post on here for me to click through and earn HotUKDeals some affiliate income. :smiley:

I wonder how many clickthroughs there are on out of stock items.

oos

I wonder if Vodafone had a boat load of free gift promos with phones that were kitsound stuff and these are leftover stocks?

Sold out now :disappointed:

Yup. Oos

Needs expiring Oos

thanks Mr Greedy...it is oos now

All gone by the looks of it now! Superb deal

Bought 20 to sell on eBay :smirk:

:wink:

I looked at the Jive too, but no bluetooth or aux in so went with the air, not bad looking :wink:

Ditto, thanks op

nice one mate. thanks

Fab price! Thanks op! :wink:

It concerns me how they have so many... have they been hacked!

At this price, order it anyway, then sell the Air for £30 and make a bit of profit!

Oh man, wish I'd seen the Jive version before ordering. Looks-wise, 10x better than the Air.

I went for the Jive version.

No bluetooth, but it's hardly a loss as I have a bluetooth compatible surround sound system.

Damn, just ordered and could have saved a £1

Just what I needed as a present. Thanks

Final price will be £18.88

thanks ordered! :innocent:

It's mono unfortunately.

I know this may sound stupid but is it stereo?

:laughing:

ordered one for work, well worth £20 for dab and rechargeable

I don't think you need worry. There are quite a few huge reductions in the Vodafone eBay shop like this Kitsound DAB radio reduced from £100 to £20:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/181830614075

This from £40 to £15:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/182324143830?

This from £100 to £30:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/172137414428

Since I purchased one, the listing now says:-
"The listing below has been updated by the seller, but you can see the item you purchased."
So it is unlikely to be a miss price if the seller has updated the listing after accepting some orders.

Over 700 sold in 24 hours...

While I ordered one, I am beginning to question whether this is a misprice and if the orders will be cancelled. 700+ units must take up a lot of space in the Kondor warehouse (Kondor is the supplier).

Nice one thanks :smiley:

Thanks, Bought 6

Good find! Purchased thank you.

Two for £17.99 each = two Christmas presents sorted.

Great just what I was looking for thanks OP

I paid 50 for it at the beginning of the year, the charging point has broke so doesn't work now. But everything else is spot on, dab worked great, Bluetooth etc. A decent enough work radio, just ordered at this price

Its DAB (DAB+ in the future) and FM only, as prev post said though, talksport, 5LiveExtra (for TMS etc) are available via DAB.

Great find, have some heat. I've just ordered for my office.

I have a kitsound cube which we take on holiday, it's great!

Both 5live and Talksport have DAB stations. You won't need AM or LW.

can you get AM or LW on this?
I really don't know much about DAB, but I'd like to be able to listen to talksport or 5live which are on AM frequency - plus the odd cricket commentary on LW.
Common sense tells me it should be able to pick it up, but then why does it not say in the description..

Great find. Replacing an old analogue

Finally entered the world of Dab - and got a bearded flamedeer - thanks :-)

Thanks

my portable dab radio makes a horrible buzzing noise :-( is this a problem with dab portables in general or is mine just rubbish

Looks good, I'm sure at 19.99 it's not going to set the party going (only 5w)but as an alarm clock/kitchen radio it looks ok.
I wish my Roberts radio had built in bluetooth and that cost £130 I had to buy a blutooth connector and plug it in to the AUX channel, works well, but looks a bit lame

Didn't know I needed that! Oh well, lots of Christmas presents to myself this morning! :smiley:

The manual is available on the following link, just select 'Speakers' - 'Radios' - 'Air Dab'

Not stereo

There does not seem to be a headphone socket.
Has anyone tried plugging a headset in the Aux socket to see if that works?

Not according to the manual.

The reviews for this are pretty ropey on Amazon.. Even at this price I wouldn't.. You still want a decent performance even if it's apparently cheap..

It does look good quality, though. I'd suspect it does have a 3.5mm jack, even my cheap polaroid dab thing has one!

I need a headphone socket for work. Does anyone know if this has one?

cheers op.

Thank you. Got for my mum's kitchen. Shame the jive one doesn't support dab+ and bt or I would've grab that for its style.

Have been wanting to get myself a radio to listen to while getting ready in the morning, so just ordered this. Thanks for the post!

Awesome! -didnt buy this particularl model but got the really handsome Jive in Cream for only £20!! :smiley:

DAB on this is OK, getting good reception here.

Ahhh I've just ordered the kitsound hive 2 but prefer this... Amazon reviews suggest the dab on this is rubbish, does anyone have any experience?

Ordered for wife to use at work, thanks OP.

Ordered for work, Thanks

Hot for price, but don't think I really need one. However has come in handy for someone else I know (I hope, sent a text and hope they get it before it sells out).

thanks ordered

ordered - Great little present for someone - have some heat

Nice find. Thank you

Great price compared to elsewhere I've had a couple of things from vodafones eBay store and the quality and service has been extremely good.
