Incredible. Easy to get up and running, to connect, wonderful sound and compact, versatile and brilliant.

Super fast delivery. Really easy to set up. Stunning sound quality on all settings. So easy to use and looks lovely. Bought this to replace our Bose system and have not been disappointed with our choice. Absolutely great value for money for the quality of product.

So I was originally just looking for a bedside alarm clock, having decided to keep and charge my phone away from the bedside during the nights to promote healthier sleep and reduce screen time habits in bed. However, I'm also about to move back to the world of renting in shared houses and for the most part having a single room for my private living space, I need to live compactly. An alarm clock then, that has a speaker through which I could also Bluetooth some music files from my phone (or perhaps a USB), seemed the way to go. While no audiophile, I wanted the speaker to at least sound relatively decent if it's going to be my main method of listening to music from now on, so I started looking beyond the cheaper ones. Wouldn't it be nice though, if I found one with a decent speaker, if it could also play my CDs too? Thus, I ended up searching more for a CD player/Bluetooth speaker that also had an alarm clock function and would theoretically sit in a bedside table. After searching around for a while, I came across the Homerton 2, which visually caught my eye with it's appealing woodwork cabinet and a curious retro/modern design. I hadn't heard of the brand Majority before, but did a little research and was convinced enough that the audio was likely to be decent, with a few reviews of the unit that I came across confirming this. The Homerton 2 is way over budget for a bedside alarm clock, so what is it I'm getting? Well, essentially an awful lot of different connectivity options, a CD player and a decent speaker in compact form. I don't think I'm probably the target audience for this audio unit, since there is a heavy focus on radio, DAB, podcasts, Spotify none of which I use! I do have though a CD player, Bluetooth connectivity and can play music from a USB stick (port in the rear if the unit). How does it all fare? Well, I've just received the Homerton 2 and have gone through the set-up process, which was relatively straightforward and tested out all if the modes and I'm genuinely impressed. Given that I wanted a good speaker to listen to music with, one of my main concerns was that I wasn't going to like this only having a single speaker and lack of stereo. Reviews suggested it sounded good and having now had a chance to listen to it myself I'm initially impressed by its clarity, volume and overall mix. I've tested all if the functions except for my USB music stick (in the car and it all works flawlessly and is easy to navigate. The remote is clean, effective and responsive too. I initially had a little trouble working out which way the power supply us plugged into the rear, as a correct way up wasn't obvious. There are 3 pins in the connector that form a triangle, but that could be rotated around several ways to fit and I was worried about applying too much force if I had it misaligned. Essentially, the flat end of the connector wants to face upwards, as was my initial instinct. The unit looks amazing and feels both sturdy and well built. Honestly, while compact for what it is and offers, it's a bit bulky for use as a bedside alarm clock due to it's height and depth, thought the width is ideal. It will fit on a bedside unit, but it is a bit much and would probably be better naturally suited in another part of the room. For a small decent sounding music system with lots of connectivity options, the Homerton 2 really is a winner. It looks smart, sounds great and has a wealth of listening input options. While not a radio user or podcast listener, I am actually now intrigued to start exploring this somewhat. The fact that the internet radio feature has access to something like 25,000 stations worldwide, which you can search through by country or genre (fun!), it feels you could go down some deep rabbit holes seeing what's out there, if you felt so inclined. For many, while I don't think the Homerton 2 will suffice as a main music system in a household, it would make an excellent secondary audio addition to just about any other individual room you wanted, due to it's small footprint, great sound and attractive appearance. Or if like me, you have limited space but want combine a few functions into a single space-saving and quality unit, this is also well worth your consideration. Oh, and as for the alarm clock function? Well, you can set up to 2 alarms which will play from any of the chosen music inputs available in the unit (radio, USB, CD etc.) and at your selected volume level. When you power down the unit, the display screen shows a clock display, which is a digital representation of an analogue clock (see image). I'd have preferred to have the option to make this a regular digital format with large numbers, but I should still be able to read this clearly enough in the night/early morning to know when I am! As an option for wanting a bedside alarm clock, it's still ridiculous though.

Great unit to replace an ageing Roberts system. Great to have Internet radio and an Aux in (vital) Great sound and easily set to own preference with a (basic) EQ set up. Amazingly good sound from such a small unit. Very easy to set up and link to my router. Wonderfully compact on my kitchen surface, (leaving plenty of room room for the microwave, toaster, Echo etc etc)

Really pleased with this internet radio and CD player. I am not very techy so it has taken me a while to work it all out but it is worth it. Sounds great and I love the choice of a weekday and weekend alarm wake up which you can choose different radio stations and times for. It is also fun trying out different internet radio stations.

Whenever you see a garment bearing the legend ‘One size fits all’, you can generally interpret it as ‘One size fits no-one’. The Majority Homerton 2 is, however, the audio device that proves the rule. Virtually all possible audio options are packed into this compact and attractive piece of equipment and they are carried out in an exemplary manner. On opening the box, I was pleased to find that the Homerton 2 is a solid and good-looking device that will not appear out of place in any setting. When not in use for one of its many functions, it displays an analogue clock-face that can be dimmed. I find this most helpful at night as mine is used in the bedroom. It is controlled by knobs and push-buttons on the front face or by a responsive remote-control and I had no problems setting it up, being able to connect it to my Wi-Fi network without even having to look up my password. No instruction-manual is included, and while the function of each button can be found online, I would have preferred a printed version. The radio receives broadcasts in one of three ways. It has an extendible aerial for receiving FM and DAB+ stations but unfortunately, where I live the signals are very weak and it struggles to pick up more than a handful of FM stations under these adverse conditions. It does better with DAB+, the auto-tuner detecting 32 stations (though sadly, not Classic FM). None of this concerns me too much, however, as I shall mainly use the internet radio which will allow me to listen to thousands of radio stations from around the world and all in the highest quality sound. I have already stored 20 of the possible 40 for easy access and can now tune in to my favourite easy-listening station, Serenade, which can only be found online. Podcasts can be similarly accessed, and this will open a new world to me as I have not used this service before. I find the sleep function, which can be set to turn the radio (or another player) off after various time intervals, particularly useful as I can ensure that the set will not play all night after I have drifted off into the land of nod. I have only a free Spotify account but have no difficulty in playing my latest playlist without even having to open Spotify on my tablet. the device by which I normally access it. I also find being able to listen to music stored on a memory stick via the USB port on the rear of the appliance very useful. As I have a large CD collection, a big plus for me is the built-in CD player. When this is selected, the disc simply slides into the player and starts playing. The tracks may be programmed to play in a specific order or randomised if desired, though I shall not use this function much as I often listen to symphonies, etc. where the order of play is that on the disc. The Homerton 2 delivers excellent sound for both music and speech and this can be tweaked to taste using the built-in sound-equaliser. Of course, this is not top-end Hi-Fi (which would cost many times the price), but it is very high quality. I therefore have no hesitation in highly recommending this versatile piece of equipment.
