Portable DAB Radios

Here we list some of our favourite Portable DAB Radios. We look through the internet and news articles etc to try and find the best portable DAB Radios which have the features you're looking for but at cheap prices. Hopefully we've found some you like too. There are many DAB Radios that say they're portable, but when push comes to shove I wouldn't want some of them in my pocket on the way to work.


The first is the Ministry of Sound DR011 Personal DAB Radio which can be bought from Amazon for £64.99. The best feature is undoubtably that its highly portable, is very easy to use and automatically creates a list of your favourite stations.

Pure Digital PocketDAB 1000
This model doesn't feature the FM alternative and sometimes we find that this can be a problem, however, we've not come accross any issues with the Pure Digital PocketDAB 1000.

It s a small device bt still has decent features and is well worth a look.

Sony XDR-M1 Portable DAB/FM Digital Radio
Sony are great at making portable audio devices and the Sony XDR-M1 Portable DAB Radio isn't all that bad either.

You can choose from either DAB radio or FM radio but one of the better features is its large display. You can also add in its easy to use design, 10 hours of playback and the remote control.

Pure Pocket DAB 2000 Portable DAB/FM Radio & MP3 Player
This isn't the cheapest portable DAB Radio player and we're not sure you get the best value for money with this one that you do with the Ministry of Sound DAB Radio.

The benefit is that you get MP3 player and can transfer music back and forth to your PC. You've also got TXTSTOR which lets you save scrolling messages. Another feature we like is that it has high-performance rechargable battery that comes as standard. Futhermore, it has tri-band, band III, L-Band and FM.

You get earphones and SD card, the batteries and a charger.

MPIO PD100 DAB Radio with MP3 Playback
Increasingly we're finding that paying for FM backup is well worth it as you never know when you're in an area that can't get a DAB Radio reception. But you may not be so worried about that because the MPIO PD100 comes with the MP3 playback feature.
