Streamlined Digital Access

Accessing Times Radio has arguably never been more straightforward. The station streams around the clock via the internet, ensuring that listeners can tune in regardless of the hour. It is an entirely free service, available across a comprehensive range of connected devices, from standard desktop computers to tablets and smartphones.

For those preferring a browser-based experience, the process requires nothing more than opening Chrome, Edge, Safari, or Firefox and navigating to times.radio. Once there, the ‘listen live’ function is prominently displayed. Alternatively, for users who prefer a dedicated interface on the go, the station has made applications available for both iOS and Android platforms, streamlining the listening experience significantly.

Festive Audio Giveaway

Naturally, a high-quality stream deserves hardware capable of doing it justice. Coinciding with the festive season, the XXL Advent Calendar for 2025 has returned, and the third door reveals a significant upgrade for audiophiles. This year’s calendar has broken with tradition, expanding from the usual 24 doors to offer 31 surprises, keeping the momentum going right through to late December. This extension simply means more opportunities to secure a prize.

The current prize on offer is the Teufel Boomster 4, a device designed to handle a variety of acoustic environments. Whether used domestically or taken outdoors, this compact 2.1 sound system utilises a built-in subwoofer and Dynamore technology to produce a powerful sound profile with a notably wide soundstage. It is a robust bit of kit, boasting an IPX5 rating for splash resistance, which makes it suitable for outdoor use despite the unpredictable weather.

Technical Specifications and Design

In terms of connectivity, the device is versatile. It supports Bluetooth 5.0 with aptX HD for streaming, alongside standard DAB+ and FM radio reception, and an AUX-in port for wired connections. Durability is matched by endurance, with a high-performance battery delivering up to 23 hours of playback at medium volume—ample time for a party or a day out in the countryside.

The unit also features a dimmable display and a remote control for ease of use. The lucky winner of this specific draw won’t be restricted to a single aesthetic, as they will have the liberty to choose the finish of the speaker. Options include Mint Green, Moon Gray, or a classic Night Black, ensuring the device fits seamlessly into any setting.
