Personal radio recommendation

Andy

I'm after a personal radio for use at work.

Needs to have a rechargeable battery. No AA or otherwise.
Cheap as possible but good quality as used for anywhere up to 12hrs a day.

Suggestions?

I've got both, Roberts at home and the Aquabourne at work.

The cheaper one sits on my desk charging through the USB, has good reception and works as a better speaker for my iphone, and at £20 I'm not bothered if someone nicks it.

Hmm was thinking something smaller for listening to through headphones.

could just use your mobile phone? reception isn't always the best but works well most the time

Because I have an iphone and the only way to do it is via app which uses data.

Some phones will do Internet radio over wireless LAN. An option if your place of work has free Wi-Fi. Otherwise you're stuck with mobile data.

Nokia phones generally have a radio in them too . Though radio is limiting for me. Not the stations I want, even with DAB. Still, I've got an old portable iriver MP3 player which has 6gb of storage for music and built in radio. Still use it on occasion. There are tonnes of similar options now. Perhaps less with DAB.
