From an online review ..........

This item has been discontinued and is no longer available to buy.

That says it all

I was interested in this, until I saw it was being fronted by a 'generic' guest, Gabrielle, who comes on with gadgets, and the like. It would have been more appropriate, and would benefit sales, if a tech guest presented it.

My Roberts radio is similar to this. I think its 13 years old and still going strong. Doesn't have DAB of course but for my listening preferences FM/AM does the trick. Its battery too, which quite frankly gets my vote every time for this kind of device.

IF I was going to replace it I wouldn't bother with DAB and I'd go for this. http://www.go-electrical.co.uk/robe...o-white.html?gclid=CLCJkanR1sYCFS3ItAod0UkMSA. Cheaper, less faff and likely to last for 19 years plus.

Don't forget it is headphones only, no speaker

Stratto. I am moving house shortly and would like to have radio/music all round the house. I am thinking that a couple of Bose wireless speakers connected to some kind of central internet system would be the solution. Any suggestions?
I also need a new radio alarm with a remote as my current one which is fm only is crackling very badly probably because it is so old at around 20 years

There are many systems around, but all the Bose systems I've looked at are lacking something.

I have the Bose Soundtouch system, it connects via the internet, and to an Apple device via Airplay, but it doesn't have Bluetooth, a huge omission IMO.

I have Bose Bluetooth speakers, but they won't connect to the Bose system.

I have another Bose wave system, but this won't connect to the other one.

All the other makers seem to make complete systems which are compatible with each other, unlike Bose.

There is a well known make that was one of the first systems, but I can't remember the name at the moment. But it is even more expensive than Bose!
