- Both DAB, DAB + and FM reception are outstandingly good, particularly also with regard to FM reception, the Sony ZSRS70BTB still receives FM radio stations which only give a noise of other compact radios.
- It is possible to store 20 FM and 10 DAB stations, that possibility is currently offering my knowledge no other device of this class
- The 2x 2.3 watt speakers provide for their size a surprisingly punchy and particularly clear sound, no matter whether trash metal or a classical string concert is queried.
Furthermore, the Sony ZSRS70BTB has a dispensable in my opinion Bass Boost, which I am basically not a fan of basslastigem sound.
- The device does not come with USB sticks but even with hard drives clear properly, I attached a 320GB hard drive from Seagate, the folders and files will be recognized and read without difficulty. This of course is more theoretical nature, because the navigation to take place in the absence of a network connection and an associated app on your smartphone or tablet at Gert, which is relatively cumbersome even with 32 GB of music files.
- Speaking of smart phone and tablet, transfer music via Bluetooth and NFC also works perfectly.
However, there are also two points that fall negative eye:
- Sony is asking for the files can be transferred to a USB flash memory from the device, but can not read data from the radio but only of CD are transferred and then instead of 192 kbit / s only with lame 128 kbits / s. Why this function absolutely makes no sense zumahl each computer is not only faster but also the system of folders allows.
- The second negative point is that the ZSRS70BTB at delivery just not to be read as in the manual an automatic DAB scanning will start, but it must be manually ausgefürt. What was not bad per se, but also to save the both the DAB and FM stations is plenty complicated.
CONCLUSION: The Sony ZSRS70BTB is probably currently the best compact radio with DAB reception which you can buy in this price range on the market, since it knows basically to convince in everyday life and are no glaring weaknesses makes a 4 star and a buy recommendation for all who want compact DAB radio with good sound.
