Sometimes, a product will come through the What Hi-Fi? test rooms that makes everyone in the team go: "Yes." The Roberts Revival Petite 2 radio is one such product. It is a dinky DAB radio with Bluetooth powers; but really, just look at it. It's tiny, it's cute, and we want it.
Even as wireless speakers and music systems are getting smarter and more multi-functional every day due to increasing demand, there is something universally appealing about the humble radio, especially one with such a compact form and such lovely retro looks.
Design pedigree
Roberts has form here, with its Revival line of DAB and smart internet radios long delivering an attractive, stylish retro design that is hugely appealing both to look at and to hold.
The Revival Petite 2 follows the same blueprint as the original five-star Petite: it's so tiny it can fit onto the palm of your hand and perch in any corner, narrow windowsill, bookshelf or cluttered desk.
It is shorter than a can of fizzy pop, its footprint is narrower than a paperback book, and it's just a bit wider than an AirPods Pro 2 charging case.
