Product Information

These radios often allow you to listen to both DAB and FM. Some models have built-in wifi to access your favourite internet stations and music from your smartphone and streaming services. Most newer devices will have Bluetooth connectivity as well. Other things to consider include: Sound quality If you like adjusting your music levels, this stylish model has a customisable equaliser that makes the audio sound rich and warm even when turned up to full volume. However, the wireless charging will only be useful if you have a relatively recent flagship smartphone or compatible case. The higher the wattage, the louder the volume can be without suffering from distortion. Wattage can range from 1W to over 20W. Want your radio to double up as a wireless speaker? Go for a higher wattage.

You can press Siesta once to set the alarm for a power nap lasting anywhere between 5 minutes and 90 minutes. What’s more, the 2.5-inch speaker with a digital amplifier built-in means that you get excellent sound quality, even with a product as small as the S6. Convenient, intuitive, and easy to use, the Pure Siesta S6 also comes with a selection of 40 preset station options to choose from. That means that you’ll be able to save a lot more channels onto your Pure S6 than many of the other products in the Siesta range. The most compact and affordable model in the retro-inspired Roberts Revival range, this one's even tinier than the Revival Mini. It fits in the palm of your hand, making it an ideal portable option, especially as it has a built-in rechargeable battery. However, from an aesthetic perspective, there isn’t much difference between the S6 and the Rise. Most of the products in the Siesta line look very similar.Pure, one of the UK’s most popular radio brands, offers a range of stylish and modern bedside radios in the form of the Siesta range.

The volume control has 32 distinct levels, though anything under 10 is basically muted, and even 32 won’t shake the walls – especially given the meagre bass levels. The Siesta Charge won’t do for hosting a house party, but for listening to the radio in your kitchen or dancing around your bedroom it will do just fine. You won’t get pumping bass, or the interface needed for a really seamless analogue radio experience, but the Siesta Charge performs its core functions impressively, and is well worth a look. Speaking from experience, the easier an alarm is to switch off, the less likely it is to get me out of bed. With that in mind, the touch-sensitive band at the front of the S6 makes it very easy to delay the day for an extra few minutes each morning – sometimes, even by accident. That could prove dangerous for some. The large, ultra-clear, auto-dimming display with wide viewing angle is our sharpest in the Siesta range to date. The display brightness can be set to automatically adjust and makes light reading of the time or radio information from anywhere in the room. With the reduced screen glare and afterglow, the enhanced CrystalVue+ display will always be visible even in the darkest of environments, giving a more peaceful nights’ rest.It’s possible to set four separate alarms on different schedules, so you won’t get rudely awaken by your weekday alarm on Saturdays. Each one has a dedicated button, making it easy to switch them on and off. DAB+ is more efficient, delivers better sound quality and broadcasts more stations. Not every British station has caught on and made the switch to broadcasting on DAB+ quite yet though. John Lewis plc, registered office: 171 Victoria Street, London SW1E 5NN.

Best DAB radios for digital radio in the UK in 2023

Just pair up your smart device via Bluetooth to stream your music to the Siesta S6's speakers to hear your favourite tunes at your bedside through the radio's impressive sounding 2.5" full-range speaker.You may need to pay a little more to get your hands on this device – but we think it might be worth the cost. You can choose to either wake up to the radio or a standard alert tone, which gradually becomes louder; it doesn’t sound particularly pleasant, but that’s probably the point. There’s no option to use music from your phone, which is a shame, particularly since it’s likely to be connected via that USB port anyway. Though some people refer to the Siesta S6 as the Pure Siesta Rise S6, there’s actually no “Rise” included in the title. That might be a little confusing, particularly when you see how similar in style the S6 is to the flagship Siesta product. This may seem a little complex, but the main thing you need to know is that DAB+ is an improved version of the regular DAB digital radio standard that first arrived in the ‘90s.
