The Sonoro Cubo GoLondon is sturdy and striking-looking, with great sound quality, but is a little too expensive.

We’re not going to beat around the bush: this update to Griffin’s iTrip is the best in-car FM transmitter for iPods and iPhones that we know of. It blew us away with some excellent qualities.

Pure's good reputation is further fuelled by brother number three in Pure's Evoke range. What differs from its forebears is the combination of a larger screen with massive recording capabilities - up to 1GB from its front-loaded SD card slot

Imagine if Apple released a budget version of its iPod that was made of black shiny plastic and didn't have a clickwheel - and cost just £50. That may not be Apple's style, but that's the approach Pure Digital has taken with its One DAB radio

Attention to detail is the key to good product design, but someone ought to tell Roberts. Moulded to look like a jukebox, the MP-30 boasts a truly stunning array of features but looks so cluttered we wouldn't blame you for looking away now

There's something surreal about listening to Radio Dum Dum's lilting Hindi film tunes before tuning into a documentary on Native American Indian burial sites on Yellowstone Public Radio. But don't mistake this for a world radio

This tuner isn't new, but its 'street price' has fallen to £200 and new competitors have come along to challenge it. It also seems to have had one or two minor changes to its design. The basic set-up remains the same, though

Top quality gear also comes at a price. In the case of Pure Digital's latest DAB radio, it's got nothing to do with money. Pure's other suggestion that the Oasis is portable may be true, but personally we wouldn't want to lug this around for too long

Unless you knew of its hidden talents, you'd never know this sleek black box was anything other than a great DAB radio. Behind its roster of novel features, such as playing MP3 files from a SD card or iPod, is a nifty tuning talent

If you've been meaning to reduce your carbon footprint but haven't quite got around to restricting your holidays to the UK, this rechargeable DAB radio from Freeplay could be just the ticket.

Radio 4 has just started on the headlines. You reach across the bed and slap the huge snooze button on the radio. Peace at last. Not so with Roberts' Gemini CRD29, which lacks the simple design that a lot of competitors base their models around

Pure Digital's version of the portable DAB manages to be bigger and better than many rivals, this despite the fact that it doesn't allow MP3 playback. Pure Digital does make a unit featuring MP3 functionality, but it's bulkier and pricier than this option

Following Pure Digital's One's dabble with a TalkSPORT branded digital radio comes Roberts' flirtations with both Virgin Radio and Classic FM (the Gemini RD-49 is available with both stations' branding)

Prices for DAB radios for kitchens and bedrooms have dropped as quality has increased over the last year, the same isn't true for portable devices. Finding a reasonably small, effective and good value portable DAB radio is nigh-on impossible

While Intempo has sought the attentions of a new generation of radio listeners with its gaudy KTM-02, Roberts has been a little more conservative with its 'Rambler'. So much so that it looks like a museum piece

In many ways Revo's Uno DAB radio is a lightweight version of Vita Audio's product. Besides its shocking pink fascia and black speaker and panels, the Uno displays the same upright design with controls built over a lower mono speaker

While we have got used to the little black boxes that so often enclose today's top tech, we're not averse to something completely different. A shame, then, that the effect of flowers crawling over this radio's bright blue body is, frankly, hideous

Denon's always near the top of the tuner tree. Now it bears DAB fruit

The Roku SoundBridge Radio draws on the technology that did so well in the heart of Soundbridge M1000 and slides into a standalone unit.

Here's another take on the 'getting the design wrong' look: the Gemini RD-22 looks far too much like a clock radio. But, with excellent sound, the mains operation-only Gemini belies its old fashioned silver front with a quality wood build.

Imagine if Apple released a budget version of its iPod that was made of black shiny plastic that didn't have a clickwheel - and cost only £50. That may not be Apple's style, but that's the approach Pure Digital has taken...

The maker of a popular line of kitchen DAB radios has turned in a portable radio that's stylish and works well. When switched on, the 1500 takes about two minutes to tune in which isn't ideal...
