Sonichi SB50-DAB
Overall Auto Express rating

2.0

Halfords-exclusive Sonichi stereo was one of the first to offer digital radio, but it’s starting to show its age now. The tiny buttons and cheap-feeling facia meant it wasn’t very pleasant to use, and the display looks dated. It’s quite simple, has presets and played music on all the devices we wanted it to. Plus, it’s not bad value for money – but ultimately, it trails its rivals here on features.
