Hi Saqib
The Desaia Bluetooth/wired speaker is very good. I use this when I have
TuneIn going on my iPod Touch or iPhone. But one of the Sonata radios is in
our bedroom, and I must say I do like it. While the built-in speaker is
mono, you get stereo through headphones. I have Five Live, Sports Extra,
Talksport, and the Sky Sports News Radio channel all on the Sonata, so
plenty of sporting choice there, (smile).
Enjoy, whichever route you go.
Kind regards,
Jackie Brown

Hi Jacky. Well I have a couple of choices such as the iPad or the laptop and
the recent addition which is the talking freeview box. I was looking for a
dedicated radio which I can put in the bedroom. I haven't purchased a
stereo system for years now and don't know whether it's worth getting one
of these Bluetooth speakers instead as I only really listen to sport and
very little music!
