Performance is important but only in the context of a radio's value. We test not only the raw audio quality of internet radio but all its advertised features from Bluetooth connectivity to streaming support to anything else. This gives us complete control over the testing process, ensuring consistency and of course, impartiality, while ensuring no opinion goes unheard from our team of audio experts.Īll products are tested against rivals in the same price category, and all review verdicts are agreed upon by the team as a whole rather than an individual reviewer, again helping to ensure consistency and avoid any personal preference. We independently review hundreds of products each year, always as a team, at our state-of-the-art testing facilities located in London, Reading and Bath. Read the full review: Goodmans Heritage Portable How we choose the best internet radios If you like the looks and the feature set, you’re unlikely to be disappointed by this retro-styled internet radio – a model that has stood the test of time. There's a slight hardness to the sound, but that is the only blemish on an otherwise impeccable record. It has nothing on a dedicated wireless speaker, of course, but for a radio it’s very listenable. It also has a good sense of rhythm for its size, whether listening from internet radio or Spotify Connect. Sound-wise, the presentation is nice and clear, with good body and texture, although the treble can sometimes sound a little harsh. And you don't have to worry about it surviving the journey: it feels satisfyingly weighty and solid. With a handy handle, this is possibly the most portable of the bunch. At an unchanged price of £200, it remains the best sound-per-pound radio we've tested. The Stream 94L’s smooth, unfussy nature masks just how talented a performer it is, especially in its ability to sound so fluid and capable with anything you play through it. Voices come through crystal clear, it times well, is punchy and detailed, and dynamically so expressive too. This radio is such an enjoyable performer. The full-colour display is large and readable at a distance, and it's easy to use with the unit's buttons and the smartphone app. It’s a smart-looking unit, with excellent build quality throughout. Its considerable talents as an FM, DAB and internet radio remain the standard to beat too. We assessed these radios based on their consumer review ratings and features like number of channels, emergency power options, durability, portability, and more.The Roberts Stream 94L is the latest iteration of an Award-winning radio (Stream 94i and 93i before it has won multiple times) and its updates are simply a new logo, a faster processor, and built-in Amazon Music and Deezer support alongside Spotify. We relied on our previous reporting on portable radios, and researched expert reviews from publications like Gear Junkieand Rolling Stone.
