Roberts Sports 925 fm/am radio review. Still relevant in 2024? A brilliant emergency radio.
Переглядів 3062 місяці тому
Having one of these radios for emergency preparedness is a sensible idea. Superb battery life on this cheap but well made little fm/am radio makes it better choice than anything else I’ve found which is still in production. I still have another one of these that’s 20 years old and is still going strong. The Roberts Sports 925: cheap, simple, reliable, dependable, with good sound for its size 🙂

    Thank you for the review. I like the matching colours of the two radios. I had a rambler mini in sunburst yellow for a while and tried out the Sangean DDR-7 which is almost identical to the Roberts Petite. I would say the sound of the Petite is a little more sophisticated - I liked both of them :) btw - Roberts just released a new range of rambler radios, maybe I'll go for the rambler uno next!

    • @accoutrements4469

      Thank you for the comments! I kept the Petite and returned the Rambler as the Petite definitely sounds better. And wow, I wasn’t aware of the Rambler Uno until I read your comment! Now THAT looks like it might be the Rambler re-issue I’ve been hoping for: leatherette and real wood, proper looking knobs, etc - looks beautiful! I will almost certainly pick one up to try! The audio quality on the previous Rambler BT (mono version) was very very poor for music imho so I pray they have made it better for this release… From what I can work out it runs from aa batteries & with a traditional wall plug: not much info online but that’s what it looks like, makes it a bit of a pain for travelling with if that’s the case as you’d have to take the extra proprietary plug with you - bit of an odd decision if that is the case 🤷‍♂️ Anyway, I shall see, and thanks very much for the info! 👍😃

    • @accoutrements4469
      @accoutrements4469 2 дні тому

      The Sony and the Soundcore mini 3 both sounded decent tbh. I think the Sony had slightly deeper bass. Overall volume level was pretty similar as I recall. The Tribot is definitely the best Ali song though, for sure! And you’re right, it’s really hard to capture how the speakers sound in the room as I heard them- I used a fairly decent mic but it’s still not the same as being physically in the room as it is listening back to a video on UA-cam. Have u got Amazon Prime? If so I’d suggest ordering them and sending all back except your favourite 👍

    Thanks, I liked this so I tried it myself but found that there's such a thing as too small! You don't want your wallet to 'disappear in your pocket' else it might disappear FROM your pocket by accident and not be noticed left behind. It's also too fiddly to get stuff out. What I did though, is use the slim double sided pouch just for 'indispensible' EDC stuff that realistically only get used once every few weeks or months (eg. plasters, plectrum, paperclip, safety pin, hairband, painkillers etc) and then put that sleeve INTO a slightly bigger pouch alongside a few credit cards and folded bills (which are all held together with a mini foldback bulldog clip). Now I have a small-but-not-too-small pouch wallet with my cash and cards very easily available, my geeky EDC stuff available in an 'emergency' inside your solution, plus then some room to spare for whatever whenever.

    • @accoutrements4469
      @accoutrements4469 2 дні тому

      That’s great - sounds like a good setup to me! 👍 personally I hate having pocketfuls of stuff if I don’t have to and really only need 1 credit card, a bit of cash and maybe a couple of other small items, so this size works great for me for most uses. I do get what you’re saying about stuff sometimes being TOO small and risking it slipping out and being lost! ✌️👍

      @accoutrements4469 11 днів тому

      Hmm, wasn’t totally sure what u mean, but the Midnite Manager and the Jetsetter both have different toolsets than the Manager. I personally think the Manager has the best toolset and the only way to get that now would be to use a Rambler and put the pen mechanism scales on it. The Midnite Manager has the pen scales already and the same tools as the Manager but it has extra tools as well, although for me personally the extra tools are a bit unnecessary. I do like the Jetsetter too but that does not come with the pen mechanism scales as standard, but it would make a cool little knife if u put the pen scales from a Midnight Manager on to it. It’s pretty easy swapping the scales 👍

    Nice comparisons. I've put my trust on G2 refills in Easyflow 9000 for a couple of years now. But like what you explained, they occasionally run into ink flow problems on glossy papers, actually even regular writing papers made by Rhodia and alike. I've observed at least 5 refills in M/1.0mm size and suspect 2 major problems: 1. Quality control is intermittent. Whether that's the company's fault or retailer's storage problem (like selling an old batch) I can't tell, but 4 out of 5 refills had severe skippy problems. To eliminate it I simply soak/warm the cartridges in a hot water (below boiling level) for a good 5 minutes. They worked fine afterwards. 2. There is something wrong with the ink flow formula, or viscosity. My ick with Easyflow refills is they all need a start up before actually writing consistently, all of them. I can't speak for everyone here, but I did dig this ink flow problem in several websites and bingo got a lot of similar complaints in FPN and reddit. In my case, the hard starts were the first ick. The biggest ick was that after I wrote approximately 5 A5 pages ink flow started to starve bad it dried dead for a couple minutes, happened to all cartridges despite slight differences in time frame. Had to soak them again. Apparently letting the cartridge sit down for a whole day without writing also prolongs the hard starts as well. All of this problem led me into suspecting that the ink formula they use is too smooth, or too low in viscosity that they can't consistently flow because the ink doesn't form up where it should during the writing process. For a ballpoint to suffer an ink flow problem this serious eliminates its very purpose for an everyday writing tool. I can't imagine writing a field report and having to deal with warming up a pen or worse having it starve midway. Apologies for the long comment.

    • @accoutrements4469
      @accoutrements4469 14 днів тому

      This was a very interesting comment, thank you! Yeah, it’s a shame about the Easyflow 900 as when it works well it gives a lovely sense line and is so smooth to write with. But, for the same reasons you discuss, I have largely given up on them - I can’t be doing with the same problems you mentioned! Currently the Uni Jetstream remains my favourite by far, just so very hard to get hold of… I’ve also just been using the standard fine tip Parker blue refills at work recently (we’re only supposed to use black - I’m being such a rebel! 😂) as at least those write reliably.

      Yeah that a1000 was around £100 in the uk when it came out, so I’d expect just a bit more than that for an ABL100 in full stainless, but who knows 🤷‍♂️ Full stainless really *shouldn’t* be much more expensive though, I mean some Chinese watchmakers produce full stainless steel watches for much less than Casio does. Steel isn’t 24 carat gold is it! 🤷‍♂️

Honestly I really love this - it’s got me wondering if I’ll go back to my other ‘dumb’ Casios (I have many of them) & which of my others I should now sell as I don’t know if I’ll wear them anymore…! I suspect this watch will be a big hit for Casio and if so I think/hope they will produce more watches with these Bluetooth features 🤞🤞🤞 Hope these get to the US soon for you ✌️

    This is basically what my EDC looks like, I wear a vintage Casio (w780) on the daily and carry a small torch (olight i3t). A swiss army knife covers most tasks nicely. I'm not into the whole American maximalism style of EDC.

      Same here - at one time I found myself carrying far too much stuff that was just not realistically needed.

    Thing about the compact that just does not do it: de combination tool. Philips screws are just impossible with it. It is a joke in that regard. And ajusting philips screws is something that you always have to do in and around your house. Such a big, big deal if that function does not really work. So yeah, despite the compact being lovely compact, I will stick to the climber with added plusscales for pen. How about you?

    • @accoutrements4469
      @accoutrements4469 23 дні тому

      Yes as much as I think the Compact is a good general around-town choice I agree about the lack of a Phillips driver - Phillips screws are soooooo much more common than flatheads aren’t they. TBH, I will more often carry a little Manager model and/or a Sportsman over the Compact. Those are probably my 2 favourite models.

    One thing for sure is that Spartan is really good.. I have not touched or held, even use it, but I do know that it's a good EDC if you know how to utilize a knife properly.. No scissors whatsoever... However, most people use scissors all because there are times rather than a knife is either it"s easier, or chances, the laws. All in all a good one. Not to mention! It's only 2-layered SAK, cutting will be as precise and accurate than a bulked swiss army knife, as well as the other tools mentioned.

    • @accoutrements4469
      @accoutrements4469 23 дні тому

      It’s a great knife for sure. I do actually prefer the Sportsman over the Spartan: just slightly smaller and replaces the second small blade with a file tool which can serve a variety of uses 👍

      @accoutrements4469 7 днів тому

      The black border is more ‘retro’ imho, as tons of older Casio watches have a black border, so I do like that. The mirror border looks more ‘space age’ I think - it really catches the light which makes it sort of more ‘blingy’ so if u like that sort of thing you’d probably prefer that? But I do like the touches of colour on the black border model - that’s probably my favourite one 👍

    Interesting! Just picked up an A700WEVG-9AEF (the gold one). As you say, the sheer minimalism of the face takes some getting used to - but it is a very nice watch. It just feels a little odd seeing a Casio with so few words on it! I might copy you and see how it is with a different bracelet.
