It might look like what your parents listened back in yesteryear but this is about as modern as you can get, at least on the inside.

I like retro looking radios and this DAB radio from Roberts is certainly stylish. The Roberts Sound 78 hides a three-way speaker system, FM and DAB functionality inside its wooden and chrome façade which, Roberts claim, is actually an ‘acoustically tuned cabinet’. It will also pump out the tunes from your MP3 player.

It will cost you £120. Jump for full feature list.-Martin Lynch
