The Roberts Stream 94i can use the Undok phone app. And if you find navigating through a library with the two control knobs fiddly, there’s another method. Roberts probably doesn’t imagine most will use this radio as a networked audio player, but it can do the job. This last one, My Music, lets you play files shared over your home network, or from a USB stick plugged into the Roberts Stream 94i’s rear. Press the Mode button and you can scroll through the Bluetooth, Spotify Connect, Internet radio and My Music modes. The Roberts Stream 94i does a lot more than just DAB and FM radio. You can access up to 40 station shortcuts with the “preset” button.

There are five radio preset buttons on the front, which double as playback controls when using Bluetooth or Spotify. They remain a godsend, however, if you want to avoid fiddling about in menus. You might not appreciate this if you wear bifocal glasses. Each button’s function is printed on the front, but high-contrast clarity has been dropped in favour of style. The Roberts Stream 94i’s buttons have become slightly less clear as part of this revamp, but they look much better. Like the more rounded shape, further softened with wood panelling, this strap’s style is closer to that of the popular Revival radios. That radio has a fixed metal handle this one a synthetic leather strap. The strap is the other big design change since the Stream 93i. However, the Roberts Stream 94i’s £200 cost isn’t actually a “luxury” price, even if it does seem a lot to pay for a radio. An OLED would have looked better against the black surround. The wood covering its sides is a laminate (it does have a wood – likely MDF – speaker enclosure) the silver buttons and knobs on its front are plastic, not metal and its screen is a recessed-looking LCD. The Roberts Stream 94i doesn’t have the luxury construction of a B&O speaker. Just keep your expectations of its build in check. It’s likely to appeal if you find the retro Roberts Revival twee, and is one of the best-looking radios Roberts has made to date. The Roberts Stream 94i is far more tasteful, taking the visual improvements made in the 2014 Stream 93i and rounding off the edges for a softer appearance. The Roberts Stream 83i, however, looked like an 80s ghetto-blaster. Its Revival radios adopt style elements from the 50s and 60s, for a retro look that never seems to age. Roberts’s streaming radios weren’t known for their good-looks. It uses less traditional speakers to get closer to the sound output of a wireless hi-fi speaker. The only slight issue is that, at certain volumes, it can sound smaller than the recent Pure Siesta Home. It can play internet radio, take Bluetooth audio from your phone, and use Spotify Connect. This is the ultimate kitchen radio, and sounds better than most DAB sets too. It’s similar to the Stream 93i, the company’s long-standing Wi-Fi model, but features Bluetooth and a more attractive design. The Roberts Stream 94i is a tweaked version of one of Roberts’ classic radios.
