Rank #3 in Best DAB Radios 2026: 9 Ranked, and the 30W Claim That Doesn't Add Up
AZATOM Spitalfields 2 DAB+ Radio, Rechargeable (White)
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The AZATOM Spitalfields 2 is a portable DAB+/DAB/FM radio in a white leather-effect finish, with Bluetooth, two alarms, a sleep timer and a rechargeable battery. It sits at number three in this guide at £44.95, with 4.4 out of 5 from 2,335 ratings on Amazon.
The reason it is at number three and not higher is arithmetic, not sound. The listing claims a maximum speaker output of 30 W and, in the same listing, a 2,000 mAh battery that lasts over 10 hours. A 2,000 mAh battery at roughly 3.7 V holds about 7.4 Wh; spread across 10 hours that is an average of about 0.74 W. At a genuine 30 W the same battery would be flat in about 15 minutes. The Mycket further down the guide shows the same gap from the other side: it declares 5 W for a 2,200 mAh battery and 12 hours, an average of about 0.68 W. Nothing here is a measurement we took — every power figure, price, rating and battery claim on this page comes from the Amazon listing, not from our own testing.

Verified purchase“Well constructed with a good feel. Easy to set up with very clear instructions from the English-only manual. The audio quality sounds very acceptable with several EQ settings to suit. It can be powered by the internal rechargeable battery or by the included mains transformer by way of a USB C connector.A very nice piece of kit at the price.”
