Bluetooth speaker with dab radio

DAB+ radio speakers

DAB is short for Digital Audio Broadcasting, so a DAB radio is completely digital. Whereas old FM radios were only able to use analogue signals from the ether, DAB tuners can receive digital signals. The advantage is that digital signals are much clearer and do not overlap. This means no annoying crackling and noise when listening to your favourite radio stations. In order to use this new technology, you will need a suitable radio. JBL DAB+ radio speakers have this technology. Read more about how a DAB radio works.

The advantages of a DAB+ radio

With a digital DAB tuner, you will enjoy a better sound quality, more music and an even richer radio experience. Here are all the advantages listed:

• The biggest advantage of a DAB tuner is that the sound quality is significantly better than that of old FM radios. This is because an analogue signal will always have noise whereas a digital signal is crisp and clear.
• In addition, DAB radios receive many more stations. This is because many radio stations these days are only broadcast digitally. It is easy to find the right stations, as you do not have to worry about frequencies.
• Another advantage is that a DAB signal can be used to send additional information, not just music. For instance, you can get information about the songs you are listening to.

The features of a DAB+ radio

These days, a radio is no longer just a device you use to listen to radio stations. Most DAB radios have many extra features.

Bluetooth

For instance, they often have Bluetooth connectivity. All you need to do is connect to your phone or tablet, and you can play all your favourite playlists. So you can listen not just to fun radio stations, but also to your own collections on Spotify or Apple Music. In addition to being able to receive a DAB+ signal, JBL radio speakers can also receive the ‘normal’ FM signals.

Internal memory

Many DAB tuners also have an internal memory. This feature means you can store a number of your favourite radio stations. Switch quickly between your favourites and enjoy the greatest hits in no time at all.

Radio alarm

Want to wake up to a great beat every morning? Use the DAB tuner as a radio alarm. Many models have an alarm feature, which means your favourite radio station starts to play when you need to get up.

Battery life

DAB radios have a battery life of up to 15 hours. This lets you enjoy your favorite music stations for days in a row. That’s especially useful if you plan on using your radio while travelling or during outdoor activities.

Use your portable DAB+ radio in the car, kitchen or as alarm clock

Bluetooth speaker with dab radio

Rated 1 out of 5 by Leggy from Beautifully made, poorly executed. This is a lovely looking product with really good sound. But a huge product design fault. When set as the alarm, both the radio and light only stay on for 3 minutes. You then need to manual faff about usually in the dark trying to turn it back on. Blindingly obvious, and can’t believe difficult to solve. But will wait and see.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Stephen 337 from JBL Horizon 2 DAB Needs a setting to adjust the period the The alarm/radio is on rather than the programmed 3 minutes.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Groovy M from Superb sound, bad LCD brightness control Aesthetics & sound: superb. But: LCD screen brightness has an option to be changed in a very twisted way. Manual does not mention this function at all. You need to hold SCAN button when radio is off, then select brightness level with rotary knob. This function is essential since AUTO brightness (default setting) drops way too soon, way too low in poorly lit room! Displayed time is not seen well even at night. So this function needs to be used twice a day, since light detection doesn’t work as expected. Customers would benefit greatly with firmware update that enables changing brightness of LCD screen with simple rotation of large rotary knob when radio is off. I am sure that would raise ratings of Horizon 2 clock dramatically. Please forward this request to appropriate JBL technical support. Best regards!

Rated 3 out of 5 by Phillip1226 from Auto Dimming is Terrible I love the style and simplicity of use but the auto dimming cant be switched off and at night its almost impossible to see the time.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 34larsen from Love it! I have been testing this for a while now through the review club, am pleasantly surprised by this alarm clock. You can listen to dab radio, fm, bluetooth, and in addition charge two devices with it. Since it has 2 usb ports! Brilliant! The alarm clock works and great, has always been bothered not to get up in the morning, to just snooze. I now feel light awake with the first alarm, the light comes on is comfortable and awake. You can change which alarm sound to use. Have only been testing it for 7 days now, looking forward to the continuation. Wish it is possible to use dab radio for wake-up function, but more needs to be investigated. A big plus with it is that my roomate has gone from spending 45min to waking up, to 1min! Hurray!! It also has a very comfortable screen that shows the clock (no problem for someone who is light sensitive to sleep at night with it)
