About this deal

Sonic Megastores Ltd acts as a credit broker and is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. Consistency is key to Roberts’s Award-winning sound just as it is design and build quality, and the Stream 67’s presentation is in keeping with that. We are welcomed with a warm, full-bodied tone. Additionally, the Blutune 300 comes with a sleep timer, enabling users to set a specific time for the radio to switch off automatically. This feature is especially useful for those who enjoy falling asleep to music or radio shows. To connect a different device apply a long press on the Bluetooth Pair button (on the unit) or apply a long press on the Select button (remote control). Your sound system will become discoverable by other devices. Alternatively, press Menu and then choose 'Disconnect' and then 'Yes'. To remove all Bluetooth pairings choose 'Clear Pairing' and then 'Yes'.

The Roberts Radio Blutune is a elegant yet unassuming unit styled in charcoal grey with attractive rounded-out corners and a compact chassis. The supplied remote control is even more bijou – in fact it’s too small – but it gets the job done. Although we do think Roberts should consider a mobile app for these new Bluetooth enabled models. Press and release the Preset/Play/Pause button (on the unit) or Select button (remote control). 'Preset Recall' will be displayed. If the signal is strong enough and there is RDS data present then the radio will display the station name.On the top of the device is the control panel. Here you can make the most important inputs such as On/Off, Play/Pause, volume and Co. In my opinion, the remote control is a bit of a downer. After all, it looks rather cheap compared to the high-quality radio. This is not only due to the plastic body, but also the buttons on it. These come with a very spongy pressure point, which doesn’t feel good and could have been crisper. Bluetooth stream your music or listen to the radio or a CD, while wirelessly charging your smartphone, with the brilliantly practical Roberts Blutune 300. Midrange is an area in which the British manufacturer regularly succeeds, and it’s no different here, with a rich showing that is plumped up by a decent amount of bass weight for a cabinet of this size. Our main issue, though, is that the Stream 67’s pair of forward-facing mid/treble drivers are perhaps a little duller than usual. To eject or reload a CD, press the CD Stop/Eject button. If the CD is playing you will need to press the CD Stop/Eject button to stop the CD and then press it again to eject the CD. Replace batteries only with the same or equivalent type. Danger of explosion if the batteries are incorrectly replaced.

Charging your smartphone couldn’t be easier than with the Blutune 300. Simply place a Qi-charging compatible smartphone (or other compatible device) on the dedicated place on top of the system. For none compatible devices, you can also charge via the USB interface. We aim to offer a simple and convenient delivery choice. As such, wherever possible, we provide 3 delivery options: If this is the first time the sound system is used a scan of the Band III DAB channels will be carried out. Prices valid in stores (all including VAT) until close of business on 28th November 2023. (Some of these web prices are cheaper than in-store, so please mention that you've seen these offers online.) Don’t know where to put all your CDs? That’s how I feel too. That’s why I was downright happy to finally have a device in my own home, the BluTune 300, to play my old CD collection. The CD slot is pleasantly unobtrusively hidden on the front and has an automatic feed. I strongly expect that many buyers of the BluTune 300 will feel a similar sensation to mine and will be delighted with the new discovery of their own CD collection. DAB+ allows you to find many different radio stations – assuming reception of the high-quality signal.In terms of its audio output, the Blutune goes a little louder than we expected, given its compactness, but it does sound a little harsh and grating in its default sound mode preset. That can be improved with some of the Equaliser modes, however, although you’ll never be able to get a sense of true stereo – again it’s a size thing.

Your device will start charging, the charging indicator will show on the screen. Charging will be faster when your unit is in standby. If the charging indicator flashes it will have detected a non wireless charging device. As well as sleep and snooze timers, the Blutune 300 gives you dual alarms, with the option of waking to the radio or a buzzer. Combined with the smartphone charger, this makes it ideal for bedside use. Insert 2 x AAA size batteries into the spaces in the compartment. Take care to ensure all batteries are inserted with the correct polarity as shown inside the battery compartment. Replace the battery cover. Equipped with an equalizer, this radio enables users to tailor the sound to their preferences, ensuring an enjoyable listening experience. It supports two AAA batteries, allowing for extended playing time on the go. There are 20 memory presets, 10 for DAB and 10 for FM.** Presets are remembered in the event of a power failure.

Roberts Blutune Features

To enable wireless charging ensure your sound system is plugged into the mains using the supplied mains lead. The display options are, scrolling text, program type, multiplex name, channel and frequency, signal strength / error rate, bit rate, audio type and date. A short press on Tuning/Select or the Select button (remote control) will select highlighted menu items.

Remove the battery cover on the rear of your remote control by applying pressure to the catch in the direction shown by the arrow and then lifting off the cover. An aux-in input is included on the rear of the radio. This is useful if you have lots of music on a device without Bluetooth, such as an older iPod or MP3 player. User interface Place your wireless charging enabled device over the charging icon. Your device must have wireless charging to use this function. A small criticism could be made about the size of the text on the colour display. On a windowsill or kitchen worktop the display works well, but on a side table or bedside it could be more difficult to read. Other models in the Roberts range, like the Rambler BT, have a much larger starburst display with less information. Rear of the Roberts Blutune T2However, few options at this price offer such a varied buffet of listening options all in one box – and Roberts does it better most of those. Those in the market for this kind of audio solution will be pleased by the sound Roberts offers here. But for the full five stars, though, we’d want a little more excitement in our lives.
