Eddington

I was looking for a portable DAB radio for a reasonable price and found that there is bewildering choice of portable DAB radios available on Amazon. After a couple of hours of searching and reading reviews, I eventually decided on this radio - I'm pleased to say that I made the right choice!This is the first portable radio that I've bought since my childhood. . .way back! I have to say that I have been pleasantly surprised by the quality of build, ease of use and sound quality with this little radio. I don't have anything else to compare it to so maybe I'm being a little biased in my review, but hey ho, tell it as is it is!It really is small and lightweight and that's the beauty of it. I wanted something that was easy to carry in a suitcase or back pack, to take with me on my travels, and this fits the bill perfectly. The sound quality is excellent. OK it's not going to blow your socks off or have the deep base sound that you'd get from something 5x the size and price, but for what it is it does extremely well indeed. The sound is clear and the volume good enough to be easily heard from across a large room. It is light, portable, the buttons are easy to use and the screen although small, perfectly adequate. A fully charged battery will easily last for a full day's listening and it is easy to charge. The charging cable is a standard USB fitting that I use with a 3 pin charging plug with a USB port. There are 20 preset DAB channels that are easy to scroll through, an FM option plus Bluetooth which I haven't used yet so can't comment on. The reception has been perfect so far, even in remote locations.All in all an excellent little radio that I can recommend.

The media could not be loaded. Wow! Great reception, sounds loud, travel size, i am amazed on such great sound from a small device, Just brilliant!Hi, I have always been a fan of many big name Radios but due to some quality issues with some I moved over to Roberts Radio.Roberts makes brilliant radios. The reason I wanted to try majority was I always doing Diy, also in the Garden , listen to radio in bed and needed a small travel dab plus for Holidays which don't take up much space but sounds really goodThis radio I purchased, Edington is fantastic, great sound from the small unit, very easy to move around and the operating system is really easy to use,I am very pleased, its rechargeable and not bad battery life.I demonstrated this radio on the weekend to someone and they were also amazed.Well done Majority for a great radio

UPDATE Amending my review after 2 months as the sound went, just got a clicking noise, tried resetting no use. So had to go through the hideous Amazon return system which is easy within 30 days and is then opaque and was difficult (they suggested I returned via Hermes! It has not been Hermes for three years). So disappointing and the radio is now 25% dearer. I have only knocked 1 star off my 5 star review as I am giving Majority the benefit of the doubt regarding reliability, and their customer support was good. ORIGINAL REVIEW I got this on an offer, so under £30. I realise "offers" are ongoing so this may be the price? Anyway impressed, the sound is a bit thin but it is tiny. It is very listenable and clear in the kitchen with gadgets going. If you are a drum & bass fan you may be disappointed :D It is all plastic (except for the aerial) Set up was OK, although it had the BBC stations in the menu when it arrived but they did not work. A full rescan and the DAB stations are fine. Negatives, I wish the power switch was on the top, you have to pick it up to turn on and off. There is a a little flip out stand to improve stability a good idea, but very flimsy, I guess it does the job until it gets broken. But on the whole chuffed, the display is clear and for the size and money the sound is good and rechargeable. A great little radio

09/06/2023.I just wanted to up date this review. I have been using the radio constantly over the last few days and have been enjoying using it. So much so, I wrote to Majority to let them know just good a job they did with this radio. The following is a copy of what I sent them. It was a great radio.HiAs a geek who has a thing for radios, the Majority Eddington is by far the best DAB radio I have ever owned. For the Price I got from Amazon it is also the best value for money I have had in a very long time. It was so good I purchased, two one for me and one as a present for a friend. The sensitivity of the radio, the sound quality and general build quality is fantastic. The radio early fills a room with high quality sound, Is easy to use, the Bluetooth feature is excellent and an Colour display thrown in! The Colour display is a really nice touch, very clear. Battery life is exceptional. I cannot fault the Eddington in any way. Very good Radio, excellent value for money.I would love to see what Majority could do in a World band/FM/shortwave/ SSB/airband all in one unit. Build one of those and I would definitely buy it. What you have done with the Eddington design cannot be beat in my book. It is the best radio I have owned by a long margin.My original review is below:Great wee radio with big sound quality. Extremely well made very compact. The colour display is was to read. The case has a very nice feel and quality to it. I am very impressed with this radio. At the price it great value for money. So much so I got two one for me , one for a friend.

Clear and loud sound, good functions with FM, DAB and Bluetooth. Good price for the lightweight small radio that i can slip in my bag and charge with USB-C.

Excellent radio with a great sound considering its small size. Easy to set up and get going and with the price reduction very good value for money. My only minor gripe, and it is a minor one, is that the radio came with a type B USB connector when it actually takes a type C USB connector, I quickly realised this so if you do buy this radio check the type of USB connector it comes with so as to avoid damaging the power socket on the side of the radio.
