Its simple to use, has plenty of presets, but it lacks the wow factor.
Its lightweight for the size so its easy to move around.
Audio quality could be better but for a basic DAB radio, the Groov-e Boston is fine.
So, the Groov-e Boston isntone of the best Bluetooth speakersbut who really cares about that?
Youre buying something like this to compete withthe best DAB radios.
Its far cheaper than my beloved aforementioned Roberts Revival Petite 2, as well as the bulkyPure Woodland.
It has DAB and FM radio connectivity along with Bluetooth 5.0 for pairing with your phone or other devices.
All are easily tapped around thanks to the clearly laid out buttons.
It takes seconds to get started with the Groov-e Boston and it never really gets any more complicated.
The latter is a little awkward to set up, though, compared with the simplicity of everything else.
The Groov-e Boston transfers that tinny sound to a smaller room.
Mileage will vary depending on the strength of the DAB signal, of course.
Theres a reasonable stereo effect here but little heft.
In the center is a simple LED display showing the time, date, and whatever youre listening to.
On the back is simply the place for the batteries.
No additional ports or anything like that.
The Groov-e Boston is solely available in its part-gray/metal, part-wooden build.
The competition is simply more expensive.
Value score: 5 / 5
Should you buy the Groov-e Boston?
Bear that in mind.
Don’t blame me when you decide to spend more.
I opened up the box and got started with the Groov-e Boston the moment it arrived.
It spent much of its time between my home office, bedroom, and living room.
The carrying handle came in useful there.
I mostly used it connected to mains power.
When using the Bluetooth functionality, I connected my iPhone 14 Pro, and listened to Spotify andAppleMusic.
