CREATIVE THINKING NEW LEASE OF LIFE FOR BRITISH AUDIO BRAND Goodmans is a familiar name to British consumers having first emerged into the market place in 1923. For decades Goodmans has been associated with everyday audio visual products from loudspeakers to digital TV. The brand is launching a brand new product range with a fresh perspective on design and usability. It is Goodmans’ ambition to win a place in customers’ hearts again through accessible technology at sensible price points. TBE were sent two radios from the new product range to review, the new Heritage fifties style digital radio and the Canvas portable digital radio. We were excited to open the boxes as the packaging design is highly appealing with a modern, clean look - similar to other products in the market place with higher price tags. First to be unwrapped was the Heritage radio. A nostalgic 1950s inspired design offering the latest technology including DAB digital radio, FM radio and Bluetooth. It’s easy to use with a clear LED display and function bar. With a little help from my iPod, the bluetooth function and Paloma Faith, I tested out the sound quality and was impressed with the clarity. In a nutshell with a price point of £99.99 it looks the part and is perfect for at home or in the office. Only downfall...it’s quite deep and takes up quite a lot of space - but then again is this not part of the vintage fifties charm? Next up, to be carefully unwrapped was the Canvas portable digital radio as this one’s for you! We’re running a competition for all TBE readers to have the chance to win one of these streamline, light radios, perfect for picnics in the park or festivals this summer. It features a 9 hour battery life, an easy to read scrolling display and importantly clear crisp sounds.
