You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
Off to the cricket in June to see if there are any non-cheating Aussies left...
Any recommendations for personal type DAB radios so that I can have TMS in the lughole during the game? I don't want to be paying £10 for the cheap ear pieces they sell at the ground!
Cheers

Not cheap but highly regarded.
Edit: sorry didn't read beyond the title....
SHould have been clearer - looking for something smaller - stick in a pocket type affair. Thanks anyway.
not very portable either
last time i looked at this there was not much choice and many use the ear piece as the aerial and have short battery life. I did not get one based on the reviews I could find and advice n best buys
Not that usefull or helpful
I've had a Majority Romsey for a few months now. Reasonable. The inbuilt speaker is tinny, but I mostly use it with ear phones, so that isnt an issue. It could do with a button lock to stop it changing channels when in my pocket. Battery lasts up to 2 days at work. They have some good deals at the moment, when I bought it, it was the only one at £30, they have a few at that price point now.

Tunein app on your smartphone might be a cheap option if you have the data for it
I have an https://www.azatom.com/pro-s1
it works well, is usb rechargeable, can be recharged while it’s turned on, has a headphone socket.
would i buy another? Yes, its perfect for my requirements.
Downsides,
the ariel looks flimsy, and some have reported that it’s easily broken. Mine is fine though.
there is a lock button, but when it’s activated the radio can still be turned on.
Edit:and it does fit in a pocket.
We have a Roberts Play 10 DAB radio, which replaced a Sony DAB that had crap reception. The Roberts is the size and width of 3 dvd cases so not the smallest but still portable, light, good sound quality with long battery (AA) life
Cheers all - the Majority and Azatom look good candidates.
Not looked into portable ones.
As I have a Pure evoke plugged into the wall socket.
Sound quality very good....few years old now thou
I bought this one, it is fab. Great battery life and the ability to plug headphones in or use the speaker is very useful.
Had a couple of cheap other brand ones before that chewed batteries and spat them out for fun.

absolutely brilliant radio .great sound both with speaker or headphones ( needs aerial extended at least partially )
I use one all the time when working and also when out cycling ... I stick it in my top pocket. If you're not impressed you can return it after a few weeks and they'll refund too...but you will be!
Smartphone with one of the radio apps? The only downside might be a lack of a decent network with good data. TuneIn Radio Pro is probably the best.
