The connectivity is fantastic, which means that you can enjoy amazing music through digital channels, or Bluetooth wherever you are. Roberts Blutune 5 review: Verdict

That’s probably why we spend so much time waxing lyrical about iconic Roberts Radio pieces like the Revival RD70, for instance. At this point, if you’re willing to pay the extra for the Roberts brand label, then you probably already know that you can expect a beautiful product in return. Using Bluetooth, you can stream music from a smartphone, tablet or laptop through the Blutune100’s high-quality speakers. This means you could use the Roberts Blutune100 for listening to online radio or streaming music from YouTube or Spotify via a smartphone connected to the internet. From the moment we unboxed the Roberts Blutune 5 portable radio, we had the urge to run outside and start blasting love songs under someone’s window with it. That’s the kind of vibe you’re going to get, and it matches well with the “retro” character that’s so common from Roberts Radio.As well as sleep and snooze timers, the Blutune 300 gives you dual alarms, with the option of waking to the radio or a buzzer. Combined with the smartphone charger, this makes it ideal for bedside use.

A restrained design only brings advantages if the dimensions of a device are not too expansive. And Roberts has done a very good job here as well. Thus, the BluTune 300 measures a very compact 360 mm x 135 mm x 260 mm. The weight of 4.2 kg is anything but light, but since this is not a mobile speaker anyway, this should bother the very few. Due to the comparatively small size, the radio’s fields of application are diverse. It can not only be used as a radio for the kitchen or nightstand. It is also pretty to look at in the living room. Whether the sound performance is also sufficient for the living room location, however, is something we want to clarify later. The color display is nice and sharp and doesn’t exaggerate with overly bright colors.Pleased I bought it. I still love CDs but am somewhat alarmed by the apparently declining number of manufacturers of devices to play them. In part, my decision to buy was influenced by my hope to future-proof my collection, all of which is classical music. If the radio doesn’t find a DAB signal, relocate it to an area with better reception. Once in the new area, conduct a second scan to find the signal. While it’s certainly not the cheapest radio/CD player, the Roberts Blutune100 Sound System offers value for money given its quality and durability. This sound system sounds amazing, so if you want to enjoy your music in all its depth and detail, the Blutune100 is a good choice. However, you cannot expect more from an audio system in this compact size. The integrated equalizer allows you to adjust the sound to your taste. Thus, trebles, mids and basses can be adjusted here. If you don’t have that much tonal sensitivity, you can also select the predefined equalizer modes from Roberts. Charging your smartphone couldn’t be easier than with the Blutune 300. Simply place a Qi-charging compatible smartphone (or other compatible device) on the dedicated place on top of the system. For none compatible devices, you can also charge via the USB interface.

Let’s move on to the most important discipline of any audio system. The sound quality. Before I go into the strengths and weaknesses of the BluTune 300, we first need to establish the technical facts. Roberts builds in his noble radio the best conditions for a great sound. This already starts with the choice of materials. The manufacturer promises that the wood used will serve as an effective sound body with great vibration properties. Prices valid in stores (all including VAT) until close of business on 29th November 2023. (Some of these web prices are cheaper than in-store, so please mention that you've seen these offers online.) Unlike the Roberts Sports DAB 5, the Blutune 200 isn’t a portable device, but it’s relatively easy to move it and set the machine up and different parts of your home if necessary. Roberts Blutune 200 review: Ease of use With plenty of ways to stream the music or podcasts that suit you, we’re sure you’ll find something you love to listen to with the Roberts Blutune T2. To make the design of the Roberts Blutune T2 even more impressive, there’s also built-in charging, so you can keep your music system topped up with energy wherever you go. Roberts Blutune T2 Review: Setting Up the Radio for the First TimeWhat’s more, the Blutune T2 also features a nifty leather carry handle, making it even easier to transport. It’s not as small as the Roberts Sports, but it’s also intended for more than just one person to use at a time. The space at the top of the Blutune T2 is shiny silver, giving it a delightful modern appearance, while the side panelling has been done in soft oak wood, giving you that all-important vintage appeal. In terms of sound quality, you can expect exceptional clarity and clear tones from the Blutune 5. Like most of the Bluetooth radios that you’ll find in the Roberts Radio portfolio, this stylish number doesn’t compromise on sound. Although the Roberts Blutune 5 does make for a beautiful portable radio, it’s also an excellent partner to keep on your bedside table too. There are two alarms built-in so you can tune your radio to your morning routine. Intended to be more than just a basic portable radio, the Roberts Blutune 5 is a high-performance Bluetooth streaming device and incredible bedside radio.
