The Roberts Rambler classic is an attractive retro-style radio with sharp sound quality, a broad feature-set and Bluetooth connectivity. It may be a little pricey and you’ll need to purchase a rechargeable battery separately to take it on the go, but this is still a strong radio for the modern age.

Beautiful retro design. Clear audio with impressive bass. Can double as a Bluetooth speaker. Not the cheapest radio on the market. Rechargeable battery not included. Outdated Bluetooth version.

The Roberts Rambler Classic is a classy DAB+ radio that takes you back in time, without sacrificing any modern-day benefits. It has a gorgeous 70s-inspired design, which is excellent for fans of a retro aesthetic. With an elegant leather handle, bamboo side panels and shiny speaker grille, the Roberts Rambler Classic earns plenty of style points, but how does it sound?.

Well, I’m happy to report that it sounds very good. If you’re mainly going to be listening to radio shows or podcasts, you’ll be pleased with this radio’s super-clear vocal reproduction and separation. And when it comes to music, the Roberts Rambler Classic is equally up-to-scratch. You’ll experience impressively warm bass, clean mids and delicate, controlled highs, as well as surprisingly high volume levels for a radio of this size (a child's shoebox or cute purse, say).
