Majority Oakington Bluetooth DAB+ Radio and CD player music system

If there’s one thing guaranteed to cause regret, it’s missed opportunities. All those amazing little gadgets that came about in the late 20th Century (well, they were amazing then!) that I used to have, all gone now. With the current trend for retro items… Ah, if only I had been able to hold on to a few of them, I would be considerably richer than I am today. But the good news is that companies like Majority give us the opportunity to appreciate the aesthetics of yesteryear but with 21st Century technology!

For those that have a hankering for old style radio/stereo’s, this all-in-one system would seem to fit the bill nicely. Not only do you have a programmable CD player allowing you to arrange tracks in whatever order you wish (although you can’t use the remote to skip or rewind when doing this oddly – you have to use the buttons on the unit itself), there is also a USB port for plugging a memory stick in to that doubles up as a charging port, very handy. Another handy thing is the ability to ‘prune’ stations that show up but are unavailable leading to a far less frustrating experience when selecting your channel.

Of course, there is Bluetooth too although it’s worth noting that this is not a transmitter so if you have a preference for Bluetooth speakers, they won’t connect to this stereo but the built-in speakers are perfectly adequate and there is also a headphone jack for that more intimate listening experience although it doesn’t work on headsets with a microphone. Finally, as if all that wasn’t enough, there’s also an alarm on this thing and you can choose exactly how it wakes you up with any of the modes available. Half expecting this thing to make me coffee now… RRP £159
