Pros: value
Cons: not very pretty and can't turn off flasing display
"I live in an area that has patchy FM coverage. I have tried signal boosters and different aerials but always had a problem picking up R4. So i decided to try a DAB radio/stereo. WOW! I was really impressed! Coverage was great and an added bonus was that I did not even lose the signal under bridges.There is also a fantastic choices of stations. Highly recommend DAB. This unit comes with aerial and is vary good value."

"The unit looks good, but that's about it, really. It is very slow to change between modes- CD to radio, or USB etc. So far, I haven't been able to get any of the DAB channels, as it states there is no reception.
Overall, very dissapointing purchase."

Pros: included dab arial, never 'drops out', sounds great, picks up a good range of stations
Cons: second arial looks a touch unsightly, text on buttons small
"Not sure at first about buying this unit almost half the price of the kenwood model that does very simliar things, but despite not having heard of the brand name before - i was swayed by the good reviews and decided to purchase as a present for my wife
After taking up store fitting (Very glad i did simply for the fitting of the second supplied arial which has to find its way round the car to the roof) the radio works flawlessly.
It picks up a good range of stations and hasnt dropped out of DAB once - all in all extremly pleased with the purchase
Volume control is easy, as is navigating stations, setting presents etc cant find the dimmer switch yet but im sure it must be on there somewhere. One tip: if you are having it replace an old radio which covers two bays, ask to have it installed into the top one - only as the buttons on the bottom of this radio you cannot read from a high angle."

"This is a good value DAB radio. It has worked well for me so far except in one signal weak spot nearby. It's functions are very similar to previous (FM) car stereos I have had so I have found it quite inutitive to use (unlike the one in my husbands company car which I found very frustrating and complicated)."

Pros: dab functionality for under £100
Cons: no album skip in mp3 sd card
"The Clarity DAB Head Unit is an great example of really good value for money. I recently bought this as a Christmas present and was surprised with how much it can do. Firstly the DAB tuner is brilliant and seems to receive good signal generally. Occasionally drops a little but then I am based in the west country. Another favourite is the SD card functionality. Putting all you music on one SD card then popping that into the head unit removes the need to change cds etc... The only disappointing factor about this payer is the SD card seems to only let you skip tracks not whole albums so finding that specific album can be a little tricky.. Apart from this the Clarity is a smooth, great value player and I would highly recommend it."

Pros: good value, excellent reception on dab, easy to use, multiple source inputs
Cons: no bluetooth
"This was a purchase made for a car stereo but in a different environment to usual. I required a kitchen stereo unit that was small but with a multitude of features. This became an obvious choice with SD, USB and CD abilities along with good DAB reception. I mounted the unit in a marine under dash housing for protection made by Pyle. The results are excellent, powered by a 12v laptop supply capable of 10 amps and capped of with a pair of ceiling speakers soon to be expanded to four. The radio is sensitive and the audio quality rather good. A USB card of 16 gig failed to function but dropping it to 14 gig format worked just fine though it is an unusual limit. The set lacks Bluetooth but that is a small loss in the environment being used in."

Pros: features
Cons: poor usability, often fails to read cds, feels like it won't last very long, dab radio unreliable
"Undoubtedly a lot of features for the money but it is very unreliable. DAB radio drops out once or twice a week at least and if you try to change preset when it has dropped out then it wipes ALL your presets - infuriatingly, especially when scrolling through DAB stations takes ages. Frequently refuses to play even brand new CDs then plays them fine 2 days later, then won't play them again next time. Connectors feel flimsy and buttons ofetn fail to register being pressed. Spend a bit more on something better. PS. The 'flashing equalizer' display looks naff and can't be turned off - kids might like it, i suppose."

Pros: value for money, fair quality
Cons: not for hi-tech fobies, need adequate space for bigger speakers
"A very good all round receiver - will take some getting used to, to explore all the features. The sound quality depends entirely on the speakers used - with the size speakers that will fit into my cabbyhole console I get slightly more than average sound. Been worth while fitting a new FM aerial as the old one was reconnected in middle by DIYer. (not me)"

Pros: easy to fit
Cons: magnetic aerial
"The radio was very easy to fit but I found the aerial to be the problem area. The radio needs to be sold with the correct length of whip antenna and adaptor that fits your make of car. The magnetic aerial is useless inside the car and a pain to have to fit and remove in the society we find ourselves."

Pros: excellent value for money, dab reception seems pretty good for in-car
"Seems like quite a decent unti in terms of value for money and features. DAB reception is a little bit inconsistent when driving through the city. Have yet to test it (DAB reception) out on a motorway. Sound is a bit more tinny than other in-car radios, which I put down to the digital amplifier. USB input doesn't seem to recognise an iPod (though this is stated in the unit's description), but it can be plugged into the unit with an AUX in lead. iPod will charge via USB input."

"Bought to replace aging AM/FM radio as I had got used to DAB in previous vehicle and on my home radio. Fitted with no problems in about half an hour. Good DAB reception with aerial mounted on roof. Love the SD card option (one of the reasons I chose this model). A 4Gb card full of mpg files means hours of music without having to change disks etc. Only slight downside is that the controls are a little small and fiddly, and I don't like the "modulating" part of the display on the left hand side (haven't figured out how to switch that off), but overall an excellent piece of kit for the money."
