Roberts Blutune T2 review: Design and build
It’s hard to find a Roberts radio that isn’t well considered.
Products like the Roberts Radio Revival RD70 truly take your breath away. While the Roberts Blutune T2 DAB radio with Bluetooth doesn’t have the same retro styling, it does deliver a sort of sophisticated appeal that’s hard to overlook.
The first thing you’ll notice about this radio is how compact it actually is. The Blutune T2 is only about 10cm by 17cm with a depth of 11cm. That means that you’ll have no problem picking it up and taking it with you when you want to take your music with you to a festival, camping trip or simply another room.
What’s more, the Blutune T2 also features a nifty leather carry handle – which makes it even easier to transport. It’s not as small as the Roberts Sports, but it’s also intended for more than just one person to use at a time.
The space at the top of the Blutune T2 is shiny silver, giving it a delightful modern appearance, while the side paneling has been done in soft oak wood, giving you that all-important vintage appeal.
On the front of the device, you’ll find a fantastic digital screen, where you can browse through music options, and even connect to Bluetooth.
To make the design of the Roberts Blutune T2 even more impressive, there’s also built-in charging, so you can keep your music system topped up with energy wherever you go.

Roberts Blutune T2 review: Features
We’ve conducted quite a few DAB radio alarm clock reviews on Roberts devices, and we’re beginning to see a pattern. Compact sizing doesn’t necessarily mean cutting down on features or functionality when you’re dealing with Roberts.
This space-saving compact radio is perfect for waking you up in the morning, or keeping you awake when you’re out with friends. There’s also a USB socket built into the system, so you can charge your phone on-the-go too.
As you might expect, the Blutune comes with all the connectivity features you might need, including DAB+, DAB, and FM radio, combined with Bluetooth in case you want to stream music and content from your phone.
If you can’t get your Bluetooth connectivity just right for any reason, there’s an aux input socket, so you can connect via cable instead. We particularly liked this extra touch for flexible control.
The Roberts Blutune T2 is a great combination of form and function. When you set the alarm, you can either choose to have the machine wake you up with a buzz, or with the radio station of your choice.
The radio also works when you’re using battery power – making it ideal for when you’re out and about. There are also multiple alarm functions for if you want to set different alerts for specific days.

- 60 station presets
