Key Highlights

Classic Design, Modern Sound

Experience the warm sound and tactile volume knob reminiscent of 1950s radios, combined with surprisingly powerful audio from its 2.5-inch full-range driver. This model offers a perfect blend of legacy and innovation.

FM/DAB+ with up to 40 Presets

Enjoy a wide selection of stations with the DAB+/FM digital tuner. The telescopic aerial ensures crystal-clear reception. Easily find stations with digital tuning and store up to 20 FM and 20 DAB+ presets. Two favourite stations can be assigned to quick-access buttons marked "1" and "2" on the front of the radio.

Bluetooth® 5.4 Connectivity

Stream podcasts, playlists, and more from your smart device to the radio. Bluetooth® 5.4 connectivity provides a stable connection with high-quality sound, allowing you to listen even if your device is in another room.

Replaceable Built-in Battery

The radio is equipped with an easily replaceable built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery, ensuring longevity. Enjoy approximately 15 hours of playtime on a full charge, which takes around 3.5 hours via USB-C.

Colourful TFT Display

The clear TFT display shows station icons in full colour, along with artist and song information from DAB+ stations. A digital clock displays the time, and the brightness can be adjusted for different lighting conditions, including dimming for night use.

Dual Alarms and Sleep Timer

Set two alarms to wake you up, with options for alarm tone or radio. The volume gradually increases for a gentle wake-up experience. Use the Sleep Timer to control how long the radio plays before automatically turning off.

Audio Out

A 3.5 mm audio-out jack allows you to connect wired headphones for private listening, so you can enjoy your audio without disturbing others.

Responsible Design

Philips is committed to sustainability. This radio features a plastic shell made with 92% GRS-certified recycled post-consumer Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS). The packaging uses FSC-certified recycled cardboard and soy-based ink, supporting responsible forestry and transparent supply chains.
