Audio Pro vs Roberts Audio Systems

Audio Pro offers the Addon T3+ portable speaker at £149 and the C5 MkII multi-room WiFi speaker at £209 in grey or £246.97 in black. Roberts, the British radio maker, offers the Reunion Bluetooth speaker at £59.99, the ZOOMBOXFM CD and FM/AM radio at £59.99 in black or white, and the BLUTUNE300 DAB CD sound system at £349.

Roberts is built around radio and CD playback. The BLUTUNE300 combines DAB, DAB+, FM and Bluetooth with a wireless charging point and an LED display, while the ZOOMBOXFM plays CDs and FM and AM radio on the move. The Reunion is a Bluetooth speaker for streaming from a phone. Audio Pro's focus is different. The C5 MkII is a WiFi speaker that groups with other Audio Pro speakers for multi-room playback, and the Addon T3+ has a built-in battery for portable listening. Roberts has fewer streaming features and limited multi-room support, so Audio Pro is the stronger choice for streaming.

Audio Pro suits buyers who want Scandinavian-style speakers for multi-room streaming or portable listening. Roberts suits radio listeners and CD owners who want dependable audio from a classic British brand, from a portable CD radio for the kitchen or workshop to the BLUTUNE300 for a living room. Anyone wanting a traditional radio for daily use will find Roberts a good fit. Buyers who want DAB radio should check coverage in their area first, while anyone who streams from a phone to several rooms will find Audio Pro better matched to the job.

Bottom line: choose Audio Pro if you want WiFi multi-room speakers or a portable speaker from £149. Choose Roberts if you want CD and radio in a British classic, with prices from £59.99 to £349.
