GoodmansGSR1889DABBTG Heritage Retro Radio with Bluetooth - Gloss White

This is awesome! Bought for the wife, as a slightly cheaper alternative to some vintage-looking, probably over-priced, DAB radios. The colour is superb and the look is what I was after. I agree with some of the other reviews; this would be better suited for a larger room, so sits nicely in our kitchen, but would be too big for the bedroom. It is very easy to use and has x10 preset stations for DAB and x10 for FM stations. There's a few options, including an AUX in, which is a good backup, but the best bit is the Bluetooth option, meaning I can link the phone up from around the house. The sound quality is good and depending on the size of the space, is more than capable of dealing with a gathering. On the very highest level, the sound is a little distorted, but if necessary, can be altered in the settings (bass, treble etc.). If switching off at night, the time and date settings are retained when switched back on (overnight, at least), which was good news. This is well worth the price and so far, an excellent product.

Love it!So far so great....I ordered this on Saturday afternoon and it arrived on Sunday morning...you can't beat that for service. I bought the pale blue and its a stunning looking radio, the pale blue is very retro. So far, I found it very intuitive to set up, have not needed to download the instructions yet and it set up all the DAB stations in under 2 mins and what a fantastic choice of stations. I had returned another system as it could not pick up stations but this was like a dream, it was so easy and that without using the aerial. Its a really solid piece of equipment is currently selling for £100 for the Goodmans own website so a real bargain. The sound is fantastic and I am delighted with it....like a kid with a new toy! Highly recommend...

Wow, DAB radios really have moved on in the last few years. This is superb, fast menus, genuinely easy to use, superb sound. Great build quality - frankly if Apple made a DAB radio I think it would look like this.It's retro but in a sensible way, reminds me of the interior of the Fiat 500 !Only slight negative, no manual included so off to the website for that, it's worth reading as you'll want to disable the backlight otherwise it's on all the time.Also, where I had it sighted, the telescope aerial looked horrible, some stations didn't need the aerial up at all but some did so I've replaced it with a bit of thin white cable behind a picture frame, works just as well, is more period and much less intrusive.Oh, Bluetooth pairing worked great with iPhone 5S

I bought this radio because it had a lot of decent features for the price range. Also the styling was cool and I assumed from the size that the sound quality would be good.Unfortunately i've been disappointed with the sound. We are using it in an office so it needs to provide a clear sound at a low volume level - and frankly it doesn't. The discrete volume control means it's either too quiet or too 'noisy'. With the previous radio we were able to set the volume so we could both hear the presenters speaking but it wasn't too loud when the music came on. With this one we have to choose.

Goodmans Heritage Bluetooth DAB radio does what it says on the label. Very happy birthday gift for someone special this radio has everything you need to enjoy all that DAB has to offer & a whole lot more... especially like the equaliser function to set the best amplification settings for speech, pop, rock, jazz etc... The smooth classic 50's design & stereo speakers make this product good to look at & listen too! Although this model only accepts Bluetooth devices you can always invest in a plug in adaptor to the headphone socket to transmit the audio signal to another device, i.e. wireless headphones. Very satisfied with this excellent radio and a bargain price compared to other radio's in this price range. Thank you.

Purchased as bedside radio used daily and pleasantly surprised to find it has an alarm and sleep function, does everything required for the bedroom including dimmable display which can be turned off completely if you desire. The overall size is a bit bulky for the bedroom (1 foot x 6 inches) but we love the appearance and design of the beast.The DAB radio works great and is far superior a previous DAB radio we had, tuning in was easy and the sound quality is brilliant. Cup of tea in the morning while listening to old gold radio stations, the only downside is the Viagra is not lasting as long as it used to.

I love the look of the radio, and it is very simple to use. Bluetooth connection is reliable and radio reception is clear. A really substantial bit of kit in size and weight, knobs etc. feel decent quality.With regards to sound quality, I have a portable BOSE speaker that I can compare this to. The BOSE is good quality for its size and cost, this doesn't match up, but it's adequate for radio listening and day-to-day listening in the kitchen. If you're a music lover looking for super high quality sound, this isn't it.

This is quite a large DAB radio and is heavier than expected but it produces a nice mellow sound (on the Jazz equaliser setting) which has a good firm bass and projects around the kitchen and adjoining rooms very well. The radio looks good in the white finish and was very easy to setup. The manual for the radio (if needed) is online, I checked it only for instruction to set the 10 preset stations. The radio can also stream music from my phone which is a bonus. Overall I'm really happy with this device and have already recommended it to a family member.
