Sangean DDR-7X DAB+ Wooden Radio with Battery, Green

The Sangean DDR-7X is a compact DAB+/FM tabletop radio in a solid-wood cabinet with Bluetooth, an AUX input and a built-in battery.

Small enough for a nightstand or desk, big enough for real sound – modern radio tech hides beneath the classic solid wood. This version comes in Green, a subtle colour accent with a retro touch.

Why the DDR-7X?

Because it pulls off the rare combination of good sound, real wood and portability. It receives DAB+ and FM with RDS, streams via Bluetooth 5.2 from your smartphone, and thanks to its lithium battery, keeps running even without a power outlet – whether at home, in the office or on the road. The acoustically tuned wooden cabinet gives the sound a warmth that plastic radios this size simply don't have.

What you hear

A clear, warm mono sound from the 1½-inch driver, properly good for a device this size. The clever bit: with the TWS function you can pair two DDR-7X units into a genuine stereo pair – or use them to fill two rooms at once. It charges via USB-C, and status shows on the OLED display. The AUX-in also lets you play sources without Bluetooth.

Who is the DDR-7X for?

Perfect for anyone looking for a good-looking, compact radio with solid-wood charm – for the bedroom, kitchen, office or as a mobile companion. Plainly: a single DDR-7X plays in mono; if you want stereo, you need two units (TWS) or should go straight for a larger tabletop radio. For its size, though, it sounds genuinely convincing.

Our verdict

The DDR-7X is a small gem with real wood and clever technology – more radio than its size suggests. Want to know whether two are worth it for stereo, or which wood finish suits your room?

Frequently asked questions

Can I pair two DDR-7X units for stereo?

Yes. The TWS function (True Wireless Stereo) lets you connect two DDR-7X units wirelessly into a stereo pair with left and right channels. Alternatively, you can use them to fill two rooms at once. On its own, the DDR-7X plays in mono.

Does the DDR-7X have a battery?

Yes, a built-in, rechargeable lithium battery. It charges via USB-C (DC 5V/2.4A). That way the radio runs even without a fixed power outlet, and you can easily take it from your desk to the balcony.

Is the cabinet really made of wood?

Yes. The DDR-7X sits in an acoustically tuned solid-wood cabinet. That not only looks premium, it also gives the sound a warmth you simply don't get from plastic radios of this size.

Does it receive DAB+ and FM?

Yes, both. The DDR-7X has a tuner for DAB+ (digital radio) and classic FM with RDS, including station presets. Via Bluetooth 5.2 or the AUX input you can also play your own music – no subscription required.
