The Roberts Radio SPORTSDAB-55 is a compact personal DAB radio made for listening away from home. Its small, lightweight design makes it easy to take with you, whether you are heading to a football match, travelling to work, walking the dog or spending time outdoors.
You can tune into both DAB/DAB+ and FM stations, giving you access to digital broadcasts alongside traditional FM radio. The radio can store up to 10 presets, while five dedicated preset buttons make it particularly easy to return to your favourite stations without repeatedly searching through the menus.
The supplied stereo in-ear headphones make the SPORTSDAB-55 well suited to private listening. They also serve as the radio’s aerial, helping maintain reception when you are using it away from home.
The SPORTSDAB-55 gives you both DAB/DAB+ and FM reception in a genuinely portable format. DAB makes finding stations straightforward because you select stations by name rather than having to remember individual frequencies, while FM provides a familiar alternative when required.
For sports fans, the personal format is particularly useful when you want to follow live commentary away from your television or home radio. It is equally suited to everyday music, news and talk radio when you are out and about.
Station access is made quicker by the five dedicated preset buttons. You can store up to five DAB stations and five FM stations, giving you 10 saved favourites in total. This is useful when you regularly switch between a small number of stations.
The seven-line colour LCD display also provides more than just the station name. Depending on the broadcast, it can show scrolling broadcast text, programme type, multiplex name, frequency, bitrate and signal strength, helping you see what you are listening to at a glance.
Having both digital and analogue radio options gives you flexibility when choosing what to listen to. DAB and DAB+ provide digital broadcasts, while FM gives you access to traditional analogue stations.
The SPORTSDAB-55 stores up to 10 presets, split between five DAB and five FM stations. Five dedicated buttons provide quick access to your saved choices, which is particularly useful when you are listening on the move.
The jog wheel provides access to tuning, menus and settings from a single control. This keeps everyday operation straightforward without requiring a complicated sequence of buttons.
The colour display provides detailed information about the current broadcast. As well as station information, it can show programme type, frequency, bitrate and signal strength, making it easier to understand what the radio is receiving.
Stereo in-ear headphones are included, so you can listen privately without needing to purchase a separate pair. Three sets of silicone ear tips in small, medium and large sizes are supplied to help you find a comfortable fit.
The main advantage of the SPORTSDAB-55 is that it gives you personal radio listening without taking up much space. Its pocket-sized design makes it practical to carry around rather than limiting you to listening in one room.
The combination of DAB/DAB+ and FM means you have two radio formats available, while the preset buttons reduce the amount of menu navigation needed to find your regular stations.
The headphone-based design is also useful where you want to listen without disturbing people around you. With the supplied stereo in-ear headphones doubling as the aerial, the radio is particularly well suited to personal listening while travelling or attending sporting events.
The SPORTSDAB-55 is a good fit for anyone looking for a small portable DAB radio with headphones.
It is particularly suitable for:
The SPORTSDAB-55 keeps the focus on straightforward personal radio listening. It combines DAB/DAB+ and FM reception with useful preset controls, a clear colour display and a compact design that is easy to take with you.
The five dedicated preset buttons are particularly practical if you regularly listen to the same stations, while the supplied stereo headphones mean you can start listening privately without buying additional headphones.
