Akai ADAB300 in Radios

Akai ADAB300Picture

The Akai ADAB300 is one of the plainest-looking digital radios we've ever tested. But noone said all digital radios had to look like 1950s transistor radios, and it's cheap. So if it performs well we'll forgive anything its looks. We sent the Akai ADAB300 to our lab guys to see how it performed. Find out what our expert testers thought of the Akai ADAB300
