Where reception is awkward or a station simply is not broadcast nearby, the WiFi tuner picks up internet radio and podcasts instead.

Your phone can then go flat, leave the house or take a call without the music stopping. Bluetooth 5.2 remains for everything else, and the aux and headphone sockets are both 3.5 mm, so older sources and late-night listening are covered too.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt to be carried and heard:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bamboo side panels, a brushed aluminium grille and a leather-cloth cabinet give the Max the look of something that will sit out on display rather than be tidied away, and the leather-look handle makes the 1.73 kg easy to shift. It measures 270 x 177 x 94 mm, so it takes up little more depth than a hardback. Mains power comes from the supplied adaptor; add the optional Roberts BP3 lithium-ion pack and it charges in the radio, giving eight to ten hours away from a socket.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow It Compares\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eListening Need\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRambler Max Technology\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePractical Benefit\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStations from abroad\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiFi internet radio\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTune in over your home network when a station is not carried on Irish DAB or FM.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eListening in the garden\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOptional BP3 battery pack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAdds eight to ten hours of cordless listening and recharges inside the radio when you plug back in.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYour own playlists\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpotify Connect and Deezer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSend music straight to the radio and keep your phone free for calls and messages.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSame stations daily\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 direct preset buttons\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTwenty presets per band, five of them on their own buttons, so a favourite is one press away.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMusic on a stick\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUSB MP3 playback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlays MP3 files from a memory stick, and the port also charges a phone at 5 V.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWaking up gently\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTwo alarms and snooze\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWake to DAB, FM, internet radio or a buzzer, with a sleep timer for the other end of the day.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStrengths\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDAB, DAB+, FM RDS and WiFi internet radio in one set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpotify Connect and Deezer built in over WiFi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e60 presets with five direct buttons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual-band 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz WiFi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB plays MP3 and charges a phone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAux input and headphone socket, both 3.5 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBamboo, aluminium and leather-cloth cabinet with carry handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eConsiderations\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe BP3 lithium-ion battery pack is an optional extra: as supplied, the Rambler Max runs from the mains adaptor only.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNetwork connection is WiFi only.
