Revival iSTREAML FM/DAB/DAB+/INTERNET Digital Radio, Duck Egg

I’ve always liked the styling of the Revival range and the iStream3L offers the most functionality, benefitting from WiFi connectivity opening up your options of stations from all around the world in good clarity. DAB reception is patchy where I live so I tend to use the internet mode for all of my listening.Upon opening the box you get the impression of excellent build quality, the casing is reassuringly heavy, the gold accents in the grille and Roberts logo are beautiful and the stitching is pristine.Setup was very simple - the setup guide takes you through each step and the screen is easy to read and navigate. The easiest way to join your WiFi network is by using WPS, a simple one button press on my router got me hooked up - handy as the passcode contains lots of different characters in upper and lower case.I would recommend installing either the UNDOK or Oktiv apps to better control the radio, from here you can toggle the power, change volume and listening modes and even browse and search for stations as well as storing presets. If using Spotify, the radio is Connect compliant meaning it can be activated within the Spotify app and will begin streaming immediately.Sound quality is very good, it is not a Hi-Fi and uses a mono speaker set, but unless you’re having a house party it is adequate in terms of volume and richness. There is an equaliser that has preset modes or you can set your own, but I have not felt the need to tinker. I mainly listen to pop/rock and find it a pleasing listen for hours on end. There is a 3.5mm line out socket which you might found useful to hook up to your hi-fi or surround system. There is also a headphone socket and aux in socket on the top left of the control panel, it’s a shame that despite having Bluetooth on board, this is only an input and the iStream3L cannot be used with wireless headphones.I have installed 6xAA batteries in the bottom, when plugged in I keep the Roberts on my bedside table but I like the flexibility to take into the kitchen or living room without having to worry about an outlet. I have found battery life to be good around 10 hours, note the radio only charges when switched off though.There are 40 presets available in each mode and these are best stored and navigating using the app although it is possible using the unit itself.I chose charcoal grey for mine but to be honest all the colours look fantastic and the iStream3L is bound to look stylish wherever you place it. As well as being a nice sounding versatile unit it manages to be a piece of discrete decor too and I don’t think any other brand manages to blend this cocktail of functionality and style as well as Roberts do.All in all, a fantastic unit that has brought many hours of reliable, enjoyable listening without buffering or drop outs. Most sources are covered - DAB+, internet radio, Spotify, Amazon Music, Tidal, Aux In and even good old FM.

Really nice radio, not the cheapest, but quality throughout.Connecting to the Internet was a bit tricky, but I managed it on the second try.The sound is excellent, considering it's a mono speaker, you'd never know.I used the recommended app UNDOK to set the treble and bass to my liking, and the bass is awesome.I can also change between DAB+ and Internet radio via the app, and control the sound levels, even switch it off.You can get the UNDOK app on Google Play.The colour is Sunset Yellow and the radio has a retro look, but packed with technology.All in all a considered purchase, but for what you get it's actually good value for money, and should last for years, as the build quality is awesome.Very happy customer.

Arrived on time & well packaged. Relatively easy to set up after realising how to it's done. I'm happy with the Internet stations. As I haven't been able to hear some of the stations I usually listen to. The build of the radio appears solid & the sound & volume are good. I like the fact that it uses main plug & batteries. I also love that it has a sleep timer that you can set to go off. You take this radio around the house without losing stations once it is has been set up. This is best radio I have had I would definately recommend, even though it's a bit pricey.

I purchased this a gift for my wife and she loves it! She loves the retro styling and the warm sound it has. It's a great item superb quality and sound, the only thing I think would be better is if the radio could be used to charge batteries but it's only a small thing, we generally have it plugged in but you can load it with AA's if you want to take it out and about. And they seem to last a fair time. I think for the quality built item that isn't your usual disposable electronics it's a fantastic value. It works well with internet radio DAB and FM though my wife just likes that it is easy to use and looks good and has a distinctive warm sound to it

Roberts still producing high standard equipment. The manufactured item is very sound at the moment still getting used to the various functions the unit can perform. Once again a good product let down by the Roberts not producing an instruction manual all you get is a printed A4 sheet of paper with instructions on both sides, with no continuity of procedure of set-up.

Brilliant radio not the cheapest but certainly worth every penny

Bought for me as a present. Its a great sounding, versatile radio, which i found reasonably easy to set up. I am delighted with it. Love the colour too!

It is modern and suitable for receiving currently used radio bands. The searchability is organized in many ways. The sound quality is very good.

Absolutely amazing! This was the best upgrade I made from Robert's Rambler BT radio. The sound quality to me is great and I love the fact that I can connect it to the home network and continue to watch videos or make calls on my phone without it broadcasting the content. Connecting Spotify was easy as well as tuning the radio stations and presetting my favourites. Definitely a worthwhile investment and I couldn't recommend it more.

Appareil génial, multifonction qui sonne bien

I love it

Undok-App e Frontier skill installato ovviamente. Ma niente da fare, Alexa (Echo Dot 3 generazione) non riese a trovare il dispositivo (Roberts iStream 3L)in rete.

très bon son je recommande
