View Quest Retro 1

 

More than talented enough to warrant a place at the top table

Neat design ; good spec ; enthusiastic, up-and-at-’em attitude

Nasty plastics ; tiny display ; could retrieve more fine detail

On the surface, the ViewQuest Retro Wi-Fi DAB radio has it all, with digital and internet access as well as a dock for your iPhone. It's certainly taken on a lot, but can it deliver on all these features? We've tuned in and reviewed it: find out what...

VQ Retro Mk II Portable DAB+/FM Bluetooth Clock Radio - Cream

 

Bought this product to replace one which got lost in the post. Great sound.

I bought cream which is a bit bland, prefer a pattern which is more expensive.

VQ Monty Portable DAB+/FM Retro Bluetooth Clock Radio - Oak

 

Doesn't take up a lot of room except in terms of acoustics which fill a room with clear speech and depth in the music.

The documentation from VQ, included with the radio, says you can download a complete radio manual from the manufacturer's website. You can't! According to their customer services, such a manual does not exist and isn't planned to exist. Thanks a lot VQ.
