Roberts Radio Blutune Speaker DAB/DAB+/FM/Bluetooth Sound System

Product Information

You’ll see a start-up screen displayed on the radio. This shows that the radio is scanning for a DAB radio signal. Give it time to finish the scan. While the Roberts Blutune T2 DAB radio with Bluetooth doesn’t have the same retro styling, it delivers a sophisticated appeal that’s hard to overlook. What’s more, for those who need even more options, there’s the opportunity to stream music directly from your smartphone via Bluetooth. The Roberts Radio Blutune is a elegant yet unassuming unit styled in charcoal grey with attractive rounded-out corners and a compact chassis. The supplied remote control is even more bijou – in fact it’s too small – but it gets the job done. Although we do think Roberts should consider a mobile app for these new Bluetooth enabled models.

If the radio doesn’t find a DAB signal, relocate it to an area with better reception. Once in the new area, conduct a second scan to find the signal. In terms of sound quality, you can expect exceptional clarity and clear tones from the Blutune 5. Like most of the Bluetooth radios that you’ll find in the Roberts Radio portfolio, this stylish number doesn’t compromise on sound. Although the Roberts Blutune 5 does make for a beautiful portable radio, it’s also an excellent partner to keep on your bedside table too. There are two alarms built-in so you can tune your radio to your morning routine.The space at the top of the Blutune T2 is shiny silver, giving it a delightful modern appearance, while the side panelling has been done in soft oak wood, giving you that all-important vintage appeal. Let’s move on to the most important discipline of any audio system. The sound quality. Before I go into the strengths and weaknesses of the BluTune 300, we first need to establish the technical facts. Roberts builds in his noble radio the best conditions for a great sound. This already starts with the choice of materials. The manufacturer promises that the wood used will serve as an effective sound body with great vibration properties. Intended to be more than just a basic portable radio, the Roberts Blutune 5 is a high-performance Bluetooth streaming device and incredible bedside radio.

To make the design of the Roberts Blutune T2 even more impressive, there’s also built-in charging, so you can keep your music system topped up with energy wherever you go. Roberts Blutune T2 Review: Setting Up the Radio for the First Time The bass level is quite high on the default setting, and the treble is a little edgy, but you can adjust the Blutune 200’s performance with the graphic equaliser. Additionally, the system remembers your EQ settings the next time you switch the device on – which is a handy feature. It’s hard to find a Roberts radio that doesn’t have an attractive and sophisticated appearance. The Roberts Blutune is similar in style to the Stream 94i, though it’s a little larger. Like the Stream, the Blutune 200 features a combination of a sleek plastic façade and solid wood body. The wooden finish both gives the machine a warmer appeal when it’s sitting in your bedroom and living room and also provides extra depth to your sound quality too. While it’s certainly not the cheapest radio/CD player, the Roberts Blutune100 Sound System offers value for money given its quality and durability. This sound system sounds amazing, so if you want to enjoy your music in all its depth and detail, the Blutune100 is a good choice. The sound also has a lot going for it. In particular, the highs and lows are beyond reproach. Nevertheless, there are deductions in the B-grade. The mids sometimes seem a bit muffled. The sound could also have been a bit more spacious. The full audio enjoyment is only available when you sit directly in front of the two stereo speakers. As with all audio products, the motto applies here as well. Try them out before you pass judgment! After all, sound quality is and always will be a subjective matter.

The sound quality That’s probably why we spend so much time waxing lyrical about iconic Roberts Radio pieces like the Revival RD70, for instance.

On the front of the device, you’ll find a fantastic digital screen where you can browse through music options and even connect to Bluetooth. What’s more, it’s worth noting that the sound quality was particularly sharp when we were tuning into podcasts. If you love listening to spoken content online or offline, then you will adore the quality of the Blutune T2. Roberts Blutune T2 review: Verdict

Like the other Roberts radio, the Blutiune T2 was made to be highly user-friendly. However, it might be challenging to know where to start, especially if it’s your first time using the radio However, you cannot expect more from an audio system in this compact size. The integrated equalizer allows you to adjust the sound to your taste. Thus, trebles, mids and basses can be adjusted here. If you don’t have that much tonal sensitivity, you can also select the predefined equalizer modes from Roberts. The radio also works when you’re using battery power – making it ideal for when you’re out and about. There are also multiple alarm functions if you want to set different alerts for specific days. The connectivity is fantastic, which means that you can enjoy amazing music through digital channels, or Bluetooth wherever you are. Roberts Blutune 5 review: Verdict A restrained design only brings advantages if the dimensions of a device are not too expansive. And Roberts has done a very good job here as well. Thus, the BluTune 300 measures a very compact 360 mm x 135 mm x 260 mm. The weight of 4.2 kg is anything but light, but since this is not a mobile speaker anyway, this should bother the very few. Due to the comparatively small size, the radio’s fields of application are diverse. It can not only be used as a radio for the kitchen or nightstand. It is also pretty to look at in the living room. Whether the sound performance is also sufficient for the living room location, however, is something we want to clarify later. The color display is nice and sharp and doesn’t exaggerate with overly bright colors.

One thing I did notice when conducting my Roberts Radio Blutune 200 review was how simple it was to get started with this excellent product. The radio feels sturdy and intuitive from the moment that you get it out of the box. As soon as you plug the system in, it automatically finds all the DAB and FM radio stations available in your area. From the moment we unboxed the Roberts Blutune 5 portable radio, we had the urge to run outside and start blasting love songs under someone’s window with it. That’s the kind of vibe you’re going to get, and it matches well with the “retro” character that’s so common from Roberts Radio. Fitted with DAB+, DAB and FM tuners, the Roberts Blutune 300 is well equipped for tuning into a wide range of radio stations. DAB+ and DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) give you access to the widest range of stations, in crisp and clear digital sound quality. In case your favourite stations aren't available in DAB, the Blutune 300 is also equipped with an FM tuner. Once you have your Roberts Blutune 200 set up, you’ll find that the speakers offer an excellent quality of audio. The experience isn’t quite as robust as you might get from an alternative Roberts model, like the Revival RD70, but it’s still more than acceptable. Pleased I bought it. I still love CDs but am somewhat alarmed by the apparently declining number of manufacturers of devices to play them. In part, my decision to buy was influenced by my hope to future-proof my collection, all of which is classical music.
