Micro Music System TAM6805 50W All-in-One with Internet Radio, Bluetooth, Spotify Connect, USB, CD Player, DAB+, FM, Bass Reflex Speakers – Compact Audio System for Home, Office, or Kitchen

I needed another music source in my sitting room. I’ve used an Echo for the last couple of years and finally got fed up of patchy Wi-Fi dropping the radio mid-Popmaster.I looked at various other systems, and this seemed to tick most boxes for me. I thought the price was maybe a little higher than it could have been, so used the Warehouse offer for a ‘Used-Like New’ unit as it was twenty quid cheaper. I’m glad I did, in the main. However, the packaging was exactly how I expected (opened previously, bit of damage) but the unit itself was both very dusty and also has marks on the speaker grilles (see photos) that won’t come off. I’m not bothered per Se, but I don’t think this exactly matches the description. That’s down to Amazon, not the product, though. Setup was, honestly, the easiest ever of any device I’ve introduced to the network. I screwed on the after market aerial that was suggested as bought by others, and inside of 60 seconds, I was connected to my Wi-Fi. I used the WPS button on my Sky router and connection was rapid. It took just a couple of minutes to setup the DAB+ and FM radio, with just another minute or so to get my Spotify connected from my phone, too. The unit is a nice size, and gives good sound output given it’s proportions. The remote is a good size and shown next to my iPhone 13 Pro Max for reference. Sound goes up really surprisingly loud. I’ve read comments about the volume, but my sitting room is 40m2 with a vaulted ceiling, and this unit fills the area easily. I will say that I feel the Spotify compression really is noticeable and Guns & Roses Appetite For Destruction sounded a little muddy, with reduced headroom. This was especially noticeable on the drumming in Mr Brownstone & My Michelle. With CD and radio this seemed less pronounced. Elton John’s greatest hits disc sounded excellent. The piano came through very well, with a nice soundstage separation. In summary, this is a very good second room hifi. I don’t have the time or energy to setup a proper multi room resource, nor a music server with wireless speakers everywhere. For me, this unit is right in the sweet spot I wanted. If you need a second system, and find the numerous options a little bewildering, you could do worse than this. For me, internet radio is a bonus and no more, so I haven’t included this as a part of my review. For sub-£200, this is a very passable stereo system. Recommended.

Here is my review, I will start with the stuff I don't like and finish on the stuff I like. Life at the moment is hard enough, so we need to finish on the positive. Don't like. The first thing is the casing, looks like the plastic stuff that will scratch easy and attract dust by the second. Second is the set-up for the internet connection. My router needs a password to connect, this password has both upper and lower letters. No-where does the instructions does it tell you how to enter upper case lettering. After 15 minutes of me losing my mind, I found by accident that if you scroll down there they are! The third is the base, or should I say the lack of it. Even when set to power the base isn't there! I have tried with CD, Pen drive, Internet stations. Only on DAB can you notice it. Fourthly the Arial is one of the very cheap wire types and not a telescopic type. Sorry Philips, but for the price it a very cheap option by you. Lastly the station search. Very clunky and you have to be very specific on your search. I took several different searches to find my favourite internet station (soul central radio) and one of the reasons I bought this. 1st search soul, nope. Brought back loads of stations with soul in the name, but not this one. 2nd soulcentral (as it is on their website) again nothing, 3rd soul central and at last there it is. There is an option to search by style, but no soul/r&b option! Things I like. Once you have got your head around the Internet connection (see above) it finds thousands of stations. Once you find that you have to tune into the station, before hitting the star button and then store it in your list. Like the fact, you have 20 favs per wavelength e.g. FM-DAB-Internet. When you power back on it stays with the last station and volume that you had when turning it off. Clear reception on DAB and FM, even though the Arial is one of the very cheap wire types and not a telescopic type. Sorry Philips, but for the price it a very cheap option by you. The screen could be bigger for older people like me but is clear and you can set it to dim or turn off after a set time. CD table is smooth and doesn't stand out from the overall look of the unit. The remote is easy to use, but again for the older people could have bigger buttons, the option of moving up and down your presets would be nice, instead of having to remember the number of each station or having to come out the menu. I have tried several types of cd's (imports etc.) and they have at the time of writing all are OK, except for one copy of vinal to CD copy. No idea why, but luckily have the option of ripping that to pen drive using my laptop. Pen drive with MP3's play ok, but again clunky in being able to browse to tracks. All-in-all a good item of kit, but a little overpriced. Went with Philips as the last few items I have had from them has lasted. Time will tell if this is the case with this. If I could mark it out of ten I would give it a solid 8 out of ten.

I bought this to replace a Roberts DAB/CD after the CD player finally failed after 12 years. Things had moved on a bit since then so as well as the CD player I also wanted built in bluetooth as a bare minimum, with things like Spotify Connect and Internet Radio as nice to haves. I was keen to buy another all-in-one micro HiFi and this Philips fitted the bill, looked robust and was from a well known brand. The Good Stuff Build quality is solid. Full of features and the menus are intuitive. It all works very well, from initial set up to programming presets on the (three) radios. CD player works well, I like that it has a tray rather than slot. Remote control is well laid out and not a generic handset like a lot of models seem to us. Bluetooth and Spotify Connect work seamlessly. Internet Radio has been a pleasant surprise and the WiFi connection has been solid, which really helps. The Less Good Stuff Sound quality is a tad disappointing, especially given the size, power and brand. It's not as warm as the Roberts, which was smaller and less powerful than this. You cannot tweak the sound as much as I hoped - there are some preset EQs (Clear, Powerful, Bright, Balanced...) but no bass and treble settings, which I'd prefer. It can get loud but the sound is tiring if you crank it up. FM sounds so much better than DAB - inevitable given DAB is poor MP2 quality anyway but very noticeable with this radio. The supplied arial is less than useful, a small bit of string you plug into the co-ax plug at the back. A £10 telescopic arial from Amazon sorted that out and strengthened the signal but the radio still doesn't pick up some of the weaker signal stations my Roberts can. And the screen, while clear and bright, is small and hard to read from a distance. The pandemic and lockdown has meant shopping around for things like this can be much more hit and miss and it is the second time in a year I have bought a radio where the sound quality hasn't been up to expectations (a Robert's clock radio being the other culprit). There are lots of things to like about this Philips - loads of features, connectivity, build quality - but the sound quality is not what I hoped for a £200+ system.

I bought this product during the Prime day sale. Excellent delivery by Amazon as usual. I bought an aerial that was recommended along with it. The setup is easy. Internet radio is amazing!!! Works very well and I can listen to radio stations from all around the globe and in the UK. Mainly bought it for listening to radio stations over the internet from India and it serves its purpose very well. DAB and FM work well. It looks good as well. I have not listened to all varieties of music on it but quite happy with the way pop and radio sounds. It has a well functioning remote. Overall pleased with the purchase and would recommend it to anyone interested in internet radio and a compact HIFI system.

There seemed to be a lot to like about this unit on paper, looks nice, good options. But.. it's reception is terrible! With both the supplied aerial and a high quality one I owned. Never mind DAB, even FM radio stations were constantly crackling and cutting out, no matter where in the house I placed the unit. My aging Bose I was replacing has no such problems. Being returned.

I've tried my best to grow to like this product before writing a review. For the cost (I paid £199) much better products are available. The speakers hiss, in all modes, at all volumes, wherever I locate the product ie away from other electrical items or not. If you like your music loud then it is reasonable but if you listen at low volume the hiss is very noticeable. The labels for the buttons on the face of the item are black on black so illegible except at a certain angle where the shine of the transfer allows you to read them. I found the 'flimsy wire aerial' to be better than other reviewers have commented, better in fact then the separate aerial I bought having read those reviews but the DAB+ receiver is poor, picking up fewer channels than other products placed in the same location. I'm not even certain whether it is a Philips or a licenced third party product. From the Quick Start Guide: "This product has been manufactured by and is sold under the responsibility of MMD Hong Kong Limited or one of its affiliates, and MMD Hong Kong Limited is the warrantor in relation to this product."

Excellent internet radio and cd player. Unit is quite compact and a bit pricey but you get what you pay for. The display is not very big so care needs to be taken during set so you don't need to access it very often. Internet connection was simple using the WPS button on the router. Hasn't really been switched off since it was delivered and although internet radio has been searched, only a few stations have been preset and only one played regularly (Smooth UK). All in all I am very happy with this and would highly recommend it.

Ok so to start with I've had the stereo a little over a week so I am not giving a long term review but more a first impressions.i bought this to mainly play cd's with decent sound quality and at 50w for an all in one it delivers in spades no distrortion even at higher volumes I listen to mainly metal so it's pushing it to its limits.the eq consists of a few different modes I'm not sure how different they are tbh hard to tell so I have left it on the one I thought was the best all good.the cd functions great the drive is not noisy the internet radio is awesome dab is the weakspot my reception is not the best but I can't get many stations at all this maybe down to the pathetic short bit of thin wire Philips provide(come on Philips this was over £200 system a telescopic aerial wouldn't have been that expensive).the stereo looks good and premium as it should the remote is very intuitive I didn't read the instructions just figured it out easy enough.i would say if you are after a more portable stereo system but don't want to sacrifice sound quality you could do far worse than this.

Ho aspettato un mese prima che fosse nuovamente disponibile su Amazon, era l'unica radio-stereo compatta con stile Ero in cerca di qualcosa di qualità, sia estetica, sia audio Sono estremamente soddisfatto sotto tutti gli aspetti: -DESIGN elegante nonostante sia un articolo abbastanza ingombrante (42cm larghezza, 26cm profondità, 14cm altezza), ottimo elemento di arredo sfruttabile anche per appoggiarci sopra qualcosa come un piccolo vassoio porta chiavi. I materiali al tatto risultano molto buoni, sia la radio sia il telecomando -AUDIO degno della PHILIPS, dai bassi profondi agli alti che non "grattano" -CONNETTIVITA' per tutti i gusti, dal Bluetooth, alla radio via internet, alla radio digitale (DAB), jack audio, porta USB, Spotify tramite Wi-Fi -SISTEMA OPERATIVO reattivo e in continuo aggiornamento via internet, molto facile e intuitivo da programmare. In dotazione c'è un antenna stile "cavo", non so quanto sia valida perché io avevo comprato da subito un antenna a parte

Purchased to replace my loved Bose. Who no longer longer support it Philips has remote and soo many stations. Its brilliant

Excellent choix, joli design, musique "top" pour mon appartement!

J’ai acheté ce ensemble Hi-Fi (on ne parle pas de chaîne quand il n’y a qu’un seul élément) lors d’une vente flash à 200 euros ce qui constitue un excellent rapport qualité/prix. La fabrication d’origine chinoise présente une très belle finition. Tout fonctionne à la perfection qualité du son pour cette taille de haut-parleurs à tous les niveaux sonores, réception DAB et DAB+ (90 stations reçues chez moi) qui restent accessibles à tout moment, radio internet, entrée USB et audio, lecteur CD à tiroir que je préfère au « mange disque ». J’utilise pour la réception DAB et FM une "vraie antenne", je n’ai même pas essayé d’utiliser l’antenne fournie qui me semble un peu « légère » Je n’ai constaté aucun des défauts signalés ici ou là. La prise en mains a été très rapide, et j’ai configuré la réception Wi-Fi très rapidement et sans passer par le WPS car on a le choix. Je n’ai eu recours à la notice (qu’on peut télécharger en français sur le site Darty) que pour la mise en mémoire des 20 stations DAB pas forcément indispensable parce que toutes celles reçues restent accessibles comme dit plus haut. Par contre la mise en mémoire des 20 stations de radio internet est vraiment indispensable car le nombre très important de stations reçues, sans doute plusieurs milliers, rend leur recherche un peu fastidieuse mais néanmoins guidée par nom, par genre, par pays etc… Je n’ai pas testé la FM dont la qualité d’émission analogique sera forcément inférieure comparée au DAB ou aux radios internet en qualité numérique. L’utilisation de la télécommande dont les piles sont fournies est indispensable car elle propose plus de fonctions que les boutons en façade. Petit détail qui a son importance et que je n’avais pas réussi à connaître en lisant la doc ou les commentaires : l’affichage est complet et comprend le nom de la station et le détail du programme diffusé par exemple noms du morceau et de son interprète. Le rétro éclairage de cet écran est réglable. A ce propos et ce sera là ma seule (petite) critique l’écran est petit et même si ces informations restent parfaitement lisibles grâce à sa bonne définition, il faut être assez proche de l’écran (1m maximum en ce qui me concerne) pour pouvoir les lire. Je suis particulièrement satisfait de mon achat reste à connaitre sa durée dans le temps car ce produit est utilisé dans (grande) une salle de bains qui de toute façon est plus propice qu’une utilisation dans une cuisine pourtant autorisée par le fabricant. Je recommande ce produit (à ce prix là).

Pleased with this unit, good sound with cd’s and Bluetooth and internet radio work perfectly. Overall very good.
