Internet Radio for Home with WiFi and FM | DSP Speaker Perfect for Bedroom, Kitchen, and Living Room Use | FM, Spotify Connect, Multi-Alarm, Frontier Oktiv App Control | Majority Touro

I bought this radio in the hopes that this latest version of Frontier Silicon-based devices would finally work again on my Quantum Fiber Internet service; I previously had 3 Como Audio devices that worked fabulously on this same service, but Quantum did something on their network configuration back in late May, that caused those devices to not be able to connect anymore, and I sold them off, since that manufacturer has since folded, and they could not assist me; so I moved on, and tried other brands. When I saw this one, I thought it would be a good one for the kitchen, and once I connected it up, it suffered from the same broken network that the Como Audio devices saw back in May; I tried it while connected to my phone hotspot, and that worked perfectly, although that's not a workable solution, as I'm on a network that rations my data. and it's too good of a deal to switch to another carrier. So the bottom line is if you're on a decent ISP that doesn't do stupid things to their network configuration, you'll really like this radio - I wish I had a way to keep it, actually. The sound is really nice for such a compact unit, and the FM radio is a great bonus for when you are having network issues. Maybe someone from Majority can show them this review and make them fix things... they (Quantum) totally ignored me when I called them about this back in May. If you're on Quantum Fiber, you'll have to avoid any Frontier Silicon-based Internet radios; that is, unless you can get Quantum to unblock whatever ports or protocols are needed for this to work.

I was excited to review this small radio, which promised some very smart features. I've been a radio listener for a long time, well before radio went digital and long before the internet age. So, it was only natural for me to give this radio an honest try and see if it could live up to its claims. And wow, it actually exceeded all my expectations. Let's dive into some of the most notable features. To begin with, the Touro is a lightweight and well-built radio. It measures 7.87 inches by 3.8 inches by 5.1 inches, weighs 1.59 lbs., and features a 2-inch-wide color LCD screen. It can easily fit in and blend with almost any environment. It actually reminds me of the retro radios of the past. On the front, it has all the necessary buttons, along with a multi-functional rotary dial. The lettering above the buttons could be a bit larger or in brighter colors, but this is more of an aesthetic detail, which is subjective. The button controls are solid, with a satisfying click behind each press. On the back, it features a telescopic FM/DAB antenna, along with an on/off button, power cable port, line input port, and USB playback port. However, there are no headphone or Ethernet ports, and no physical remote. The unit is AC-powered only, and despite its small size, it is not battery-operated. It comes with very clear instructions and is easy to set up and operate. There is also a copy of the manual available on the Majority Audio website if you wish to download it. There are plenty of connection options, like 5.2 Bluetooth, WIFI, USB, and line connections, all of which work flawlessly with stable range and performance. No interruptions were detected. The display is easy to read from all angles, and it features different back-light settings (low, medium, and high) for various environments, with adjustable timeout duration in both powered-on and standby modes. **Oktiv App Control** Although the Touro doesn't come with a physical remote, the innovative OKTIV App serves as a fantastic alternative, allowing control of most functions, including Spotify and DAB/FM radio. The app works over WIFI, and the setup is a breeze—it automatically recognizes my Touro on the same network. The app is free and available for both Apple and Android devices on the Apple Store and Google Play Store. Just make sure your Touro and phone or tablet are on the same WIFI network. I highly recommend trying it out; you won’t be disappointed! **Sound Quality** The sound is mono with an integrated bass port, and for casual listening, it's quite good for such a small unit. I don’t use it as a replacement for a stereo system, but for everyday listening to radio stations, it’s great. This is a DAB/DAB+, FM radio, and internet radio, so you literally have a world of stations to choose from. It supports a wide range of stations, and there's a versatile alarm clock, sleep timer, and integration with Spotify (though no Pandora support). The streaming quality is excellent with no interruptions. **Internet Radio and Podcast Player** There are literally thousands of fantastic internet radio stations and podcasts from all over the world to choose from, covering many genres and interests. Most of them are free of charge. The Touro connects directly to Frontier Smart Technologies to access radio stations and podcasts. You can browse by name, description, genre, location, reliability, codec, sampling rate, playback buffer, and today's date. There are also 10 presets. The built-in podcast player adds value, offering endless educational and entertaining content. **DAB/DAB+ Radio (174-240 MHz)** DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) and DAB+ offer access to a greater number of digital stations. DAB is free to use, and the sound is digitally transmitted, offering better quality than FM radio. You can scan for stations, view station and track information, and take advantage of features like Dynamic Range Compression (DRC), which adjusts sound for better clarity in noisy environments. You can also organize radio stations by alphanumeric, ensemble, or valid lists. **Bluetooth 5.2 Connectivity** The Touro connects via Bluetooth to a tablet, phone, or other devices and pairs automatically in Bluetooth mode. However, it is not compatible with Bluetooth headphones. Spotify Connect integrates seamlessly, allowing easy control of playlists from your smartphone, tablet, or computer. **Dual Digital Alarm Clock** There are two versatile wake-up alarms with snooze functions and a sleep timer to turn off the system after a set period. You can set the alarms to start in different modes—buzzer, internet radio, DAB, or FM—and choose from 1-10 presets. Snooze periods are adjustable between 5, 10, 15, and 30 minutes. Sleep timer options range from 15 to 60 minutes. **USB Playback** The USB port supports playback from USB sticks formatted with FAT16 or FAT32, up to a maximum capacity of 128GB. It supports up to 5,000 files and a directory depth of 8 levels, with options for playlists, shuffle, and repeat. **Multi-Connection (AUX/Bluetooth)** The Line-In mode allows you to play MP3s and other external sources using a 3.5 mm audio cable (not included). This is very convenient for connecting external audio devices. **Conclusion** This radio is very reasonably priced for such a quality internet radio packed with features, all of which perform well. For any radio aficionado, it’s a welcome addition to their audio collection. It has good looks, compactness, and well-executed functions that cover all the bases. What more could you ask for in such a compact device? Not much—especially in this category and at this price. I absolutely recommend it!

Stopped turning on after just a few uses. I only used it when I'd be away for a full day for my birds. This is not very often. I tried to use it the other day and it wouldn't turn on, at all. I also had issues with controlling it with the app prior to, but that could be something I was doing wrong. I just gave up on the app because it wasn't necessary to have. I feel like for the cost, this thing should definitely last longer than a month with minimal use on it. It isn't within the return window, so it can't even be replaced. It is smaller, so it is portable. The quality, when it worked, wasn't too bad. It did disconnect from wifi a lot, which would just turn the radio off. It wouldn't reconnect itself. This defeated the purpose of me having it since I would be away and could not reconnect it. Overall, I am extremely disappointed and certainly would not recomment or purchase again.

This thing is amazing and so versatile! Switch between Modes effortlessly (with the Octiv app or with the dials), or just preset and pin everything to your dashboard and instantly change stations in the same way. Turn off the radio when you're done, turn it back on and it retunes to the last station you were listening to. Don't see a radio station you like, let airable.fm know -- they are super quick and responsive, and also give some good tips for maximizing your experience. AND the integration is instant.

Who would have thought in todays world a radio would not come with this feature. I hate to return things but its difficult to be in bed wife listening to radio without ear plugs. If you don't need the feature it seemed like a great little radio.

Works great. Has a large selection of radio streaming stations. I think I would have liked it to have a remote. And the wake-up from standby seems to take a bit longer than I anticipated. That said, sounds excellent for its size and it makes a kitchen radio.

First off, setting it up was super easy. The Oktiv app connected easily and I like that I can connect directly to my Spotify account. Also has 5.2 Bluetooth connectivity. The sound quality is solid—great bass, balanced mids, and a nice clarity; fills the room in a way I didn’t expect from something this size. I had never used internet radio before but was super impressed. Definitely happy with the purchase.

I like the size and sound. A nice feature is the additional broadcast FM radio function. One drawback I have found is the manual is NOT clear on how to store IP stations to the 40 preset memory presets. Most basic setup is easy to get to. PRESETS? Not so when I wanted to program a dozen stations I regularly listen to with another brand.

Pensé que por lo nuevo que son las radios por internet este producto, en particular, tendría un rendimiento modesto. No es así, es un equipo espectacular que capta la radio de todo el mundo. Si tienes buen internet la señal llega nítida, sin interrupciones. El manejo es intuitivo, después de un rato de moverle a todos lo botones se le agarra el modo. El precio además es formidable para un equipo tan eficiente.

Chegou rápido muito bom
