If you dream of spending a night in a posh hotel and waking up to beautiful music, then cut out the middle man. These VITA AUDIO R2i radios are going to be put in every room at the new refurbished Savoy Hotel in London.And while they're not cheap at £299, that's probably less than sleeping there would cost - and you get to keep the radio forever.
It's a lovely stylish gadget too in either white, black or walnut with an iPod dock. The firm behind it has a great pedigree in sound and the cool RotoDial on top is much more fun than lots of buttons. Both DAB and FM are included, and it's also future-proofed a bit for DAB+ transmissions, although it could be a few years before you'd even need that in the UK.
You can plug in another MP3 player to use its speakers too, as is common with most of these units. But cleverly it will also remember the volume you last had when the headphones were plugged in. So each time you connect those cans, the noise levels will change, handy if you like it blasting out in the room but not in your ears.
You get the usual clock, alarm and snooze functions plus the iPod dock will work with an iPhone. And use the saving to put against a night in a budget hotel, which should make a change. After all, your own bedroom will become a lot posher with one of these on the side table.
