Pure Siesta S6 Bluetooth Radio Alarm Clock (DAB/DAB+ Digital Radio, FM Radio, CrystalVue Display, 40 Station Presets, Sleep Timer and Alarm Function) Graphite Black

Product Information

Some will connect to your home wifi network and play internet radio stations. Because it’s online, internet radio allows you to listen to thousands of shows from all over the world. Most radios will have a built-in alarm, either offering a selection of tones or letting you wake up to your favourite station. Phone charging The fact that you can’t play music from your phone over USB is also quite baffling. Most bedrooms aren’t that big and, chances are, you’ll have your phone sitting next to the S6 when playing music through it. Why not allow a wired connection, which would also allow you to wake up to your own tunes? However, the wireless charging will only be useful if you have a relatively recent flagship smartphone or compatible case.

Speaking from experience, the easier an alarm is to switch off, the less likely it is to get me out of bed. With that in mind, the touch-sensitive band at the front of the S6 makes it very easy to delay the day for an extra few minutes each morning – sometimes, even by accident. That could prove dangerous for some. However, it also comes with a wider range of features, including the unique Siesta button, the Bluetooth connectivity to play your own content, and USB charging. Additionally, the Siesta S6 comes with the powerful custom-made speaker in the rear for when you want your music to fill your bedroom. You can also choose to listen via headphones if you prefer. As we’ve said, DAB audio quality can far exceed that of FM. Sometimes radios also offer ways to control the music through dials or an equaliser menu (so you can tweak the bass and treble). Wattage Another retro-styled Roberts model, this one is ideal if you’re after a stylish radio that will let you listen to internet radio stations and your own music.Though some people refer to the Siesta S6 as the Pure Siesta Rise S6, there’s actually no “Rise” included in the title. That might be a little confusing, particularly when you see how similar in style the S6 is to the flagship Siesta product. For example, as well as an automatically dimming display, you can also use the built-in sleep timer to put your radio into standby mode after a certain length of time.

This Pure model is another one that makes for an ideal bedside radio. Where this one works best is for its alarms. You can set four alarms (either to a DAB station or a tone) and have different times for weekdays and weekends.

Manual

Roberts has been around since 1932 and makes many of the radios featured on this list. This top-of-the-line model lets you listen to DAB as well as use the wifi to get internet radio and play music from other devices. The large, ultra-clear, auto-dimming display with wide viewing angle is our sharpest in the Siesta range to date. The display brightness can be set to automatically adjust and makes light reading of the time or radio information from anywhere in the room. With the reduced screen glare and afterglow, the enhanced CrystalVue+ display will always be visible even in the darkest of environments, giving a more peaceful nights’ rest.

The device's premium materials ensure its durability over time, making it a reliable addition to anyone's morning routine. We test DAB radios the way you would use them at home. We look at how easy they are to set up and use, and how intuitive it is to set their alarms, switch them off and hit snooze. Like all our products, Siesta S6 was designed and engineered in the UK by our expert engineering teams. This not only ensures great sound and impressive build quality, but allows us to offer the reassurance of a 2-year warranty as standard.Convenient, intuitive, and easy to use, the Pure Siesta S6 also comes with a selection of 40 preset station options to choose from. That means that you’ll be able to save a lot more channels onto your Pure S6 than many of the other products in the Siesta range. Simply press “Siesta” once or repeatedly to enable a power nap from as little as 5 minutes, with varying increments up to 90 minutes. The alarm tone will then sound, so you can wake up refreshed when the set time is up! This little radio does all the basics well, at a low cost. We like how it's super compact and lightweight, yet still doubles up as a Bluetooth speaker and has enough room for 40 preset radio stations. If you like adjusting your music levels, this stylish model has a customisable equaliser that makes the audio sound rich and warm even when turned up to full volume. With its digital tuner, the Pure Siesta S6 allows for easy tuning to a variety of radio stations. Its built-in speakers provide clear and crisp audio, while the 63.5mm driver unit ensures powerful sound quality. The LCD display allows for easy reading of the time and other relevant information.
