Apparently Sony's first ever DAB clock radio, the XDR-C705 is hoping to muscle in on Pure and Roberts' territory and is available to buy now for around £60.

With over 20 preset stations available, the radio offers both FM and DAB tuners that can be dialled in on the large LCD display that offers three brightness settings.

Described as "compact and neat", the radio offers a front speaker that will blast out up to four different alarm settings that you can select to go off every day, just on weekdays or weekends, or as one-offs.
