Dib dib DAB: Bush's PSDAB2004 is an honourable scout

While the word Bush is synonymous with stumbling, stuttering malapropisms, the DAB radios that bear his name actually sound very good. The same can't be said for the styling of this radio -- the body has a unnerving, fleshy feel to it, rather like dead human skin. There are a series of nipples on the front of the radio that control various features and these feel and look like boils.

Despite being the tactile equivalent of holding a naked rat and changing tracks with its teets, the sound quality on the PSDAB2004 radio is impressive. We listened to the rap track Fat Joe's Best Behaviour on BBC Radio 6 and it sounded pimp enough to soundtrack a cruise down the Vegas strip in a sixteen-switch Cadillac.

This is not the sort of player we'd suggest flaunting at the ambassador's reception, but for basic radio listening on a budget it fits the gameplan. iPod owners will laugh at you and children will throw stones, but when radio sounds this good and only costs around £60, who's to complain? -CS
