Digital radios: Compare features & prices Magicbox Touch DAB Radio review
If you want digital radio without the high price tag, the Magicbox Touch DAB Radio may appeal. Sporting stereo speakers rather than the single speaker on the majority of sub-£50 models you may think this model is a cut above it's similarly-priced peers, but twin speakers doesn't always equal great sound - we put it through our tests to find out whether two speakers are better than one.

Sensitivity
We gradually reduce the DAB signal to find out which radios are most sensitive to picking up weaker signals. A high score here will not guarantee DAB reception as there is not currently full UK DAB coverage, but the best models stand a better chance of being able to pick up slightly weaker DAB signals.
