Rank 15 out of 16Stiftung WarentestDigitalradios im Test - Radios für jeden EinsatzzweckReleaseNovember 2023

Audiophiles will probably not have a happy sound relationship with the Imperial DABMan 16. The sound quality of this digital radio, which is designed for FM and DAB+ reception and has a headphone jack, is "poor". However, the energy consumption, handling and radio reception are "satisfactory" and the workmanship is even "good".
