If the sound system is not to be used for any extended period of time it is recommended that the batteries are removed from the remote control. In terms of its audio output, the Blutune goes a little louder than we expected, given its compactness, but it does sound a little harsh and grating in its default sound mode preset. That can be improved with some of the Equaliser modes, however, although you’ll never be able to get a sense of true stereo – again it’s a size thing. Place your wireless charging enabled device over the charging icon. Your device must have wireless charging to use this function. Let’s move on to the most important discipline of any audio system. The sound quality. Before I go into the strengths and weaknesses of the BluTune 300, we first need to establish the technical facts. Roberts builds in his noble radio the best conditions for a great sound. This already starts with the choice of materials. The manufacturer promises that the wood used will serve as an effective sound body with great vibration properties.
Consistency is key to Roberts’s Award-winning sound just as it is design and build quality, and the Stream 67’s presentation is in keeping with that. We are welcomed with a warm, full-bodied tone. The control of the noble radio goes wonderfully simple from the hand. Anyone who has ever operated an audio device does not have to look in the manual to know which button has what meaning. Individual operating steps can be carried out in the interaction of the control unit and the easily recognizable display. Alternatively, the chic radio can also be controlled with the included remote control. Unfortunately, this doesn’t make as high-quality an impression as the radio. If you wish to completely reset your sound system to its initial state perform a factory reset. Press Menu. Choose 'System Settings', 'Factory Reset' then 'YES'. All user entered settings will be erased. SpecificationsFree the music on your smartphone or tablet, with Bluetooth audio streaming. Simply pair with your smartphone or tablet and stream your stored music or music from the many streaming music services available, such as Spotify, Apple Music and Deezer. Bluetooth streaming gives you access to a near unlimited supply of music. The Roberts Radio Blutune is a elegant yet unassuming unit styled in charcoal grey with attractive rounded-out corners and a compact chassis. The supplied remote control is even more bijou – in fact it’s too small – but it gets the job done. Although we do think Roberts should consider a mobile app for these new Bluetooth enabled models.
Charging your smartphone couldn’t be easier than with the Blutune 300. Simply place a Qi-charging compatible smartphone (or other compatible device) on the dedicated place on top of the system. For none compatible devices, you can also charge via the USB interface. Your device will start charging, the charging indicator will show on the screen. Charging will be faster when your unit is in standby. If the charging indicator flashes it will have detected a non wireless charging device. A restrained design only brings advantages if the dimensions of a device are not too expansive. And Roberts has done a very good job here as well. Thus, the BluTune 300 measures a very compact 360 mm x 135 mm x 260 mm. The weight of 4.2 kg is anything but light, but since this is not a mobile speaker anyway, this should bother the very few. Due to the comparatively small size, the radio’s fields of application are diverse. It can not only be used as a radio for the kitchen or nightstand. It is also pretty to look at in the living room. Whether the sound performance is also sufficient for the living room location, however, is something we want to clarify later. The color display is nice and sharp and doesn’t exaggerate with overly bright colors. The radio comes with an AC power adapter which has a good length lead. A slot on the rear of the radio takes four AA (LR6) size batteries. Titles and artists are shown in Bluetooth modeOn the top of the device is the control panel. Here you can make the most important inputs such as On/Off, Play/Pause, volume and Co. In my opinion, the remote control is a bit of a downer. After all, it looks rather cheap compared to the high-quality radio. This is not only due to the plastic body, but also the buttons on it. These come with a very spongy pressure point, which doesn’t feel good and could have been crisper. As time passes new stations may become available or you may have moved to a different part of the country. On your smart device select 'BLUTUNE 300'. Once the connection is established the indicator will remain steady. You may now play your music. To enable wireless charging ensure your sound system is plugged into the mains using the supplied mains lead. Press Tuning. Your sound system will perform a scan of the Band III DAB channels. As new stations are found, they will be added to the list stored in the sound system.
