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

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 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.

The sounds is good and loudspeaker enough for my kitchen and dining room. I like the design. I tried to tune FM radio but not that clear sound and my WI-FI is good but still can’t get a clear sound if listen for FM radio. I can’t tune any DAB radios stations and presets any one of them yet but I use my aap to connect with Bluetooth to listen to DAB radio instead and the sounds it clear. I also can listen the music from my phone and cd as well.

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.

Absolutely sick to death of this terrible, terrible system. It wasn't cheap and I chose it as it's a trusted brand. Fair enough, the sound quality is good but oh my days, don't get me started on its connectivity. It CONSTANTLY loses the WiFi and Bluetooth connections. I've had it for a year now and I'd estimate a half of that time has been spent reconnecting this damn thing to the WiFi and my Bluetooth phone. It's even worse than it sounds however as you can't simply re-pair the WiFi or Bluetooth devices, you have to fully power it down and try again. I've even gone as far as to create a specific 2.4ghz hotspot just for it and even that is no good. I'm writing this review as I wait for the damn thing to reboot after being powered down as it has once again, lost wireless connectivity of every kind and refuses to simply reconnect. My god. It has taken everything for me not to swear in this review. Livid. Avoid at all costs.

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.

Very high quality, at a price, but OK if all you want is Radio and CD functionality. Does not have the ability to stream DLNA content from a home Plex or other Media Server. Playback from USB is clunky and useless as an alternative to DLNA. Overall, limited value.

OK-ish but disappointing sound quality. Very tinny and thin base. The buttons on the front were poorly marked and hard to read in low light. Returned it for an upgrade
