I mainly listen to music in the car these days.
Like many families we got rid of our music players a long time ago as all our music started coming from downloads.
We do have a DAB alarm clock in the bedroom, but rarely listen to music in the house as our old speaker that we used to pair with our iPhones no longer works as it is only compatible with the old version.
We were invited to review the new Electric Jukebox, which is essentially Robbie Williams and pals taking on Jay-Z over at Tidal and the other streaming services.
Electric Jukebox represents a new way of thinking in digital music, targeting the 92% of consumers like us, who aren’ t subscribing to music streaming, making music streaming as easy as playing a CD or switching on the radio.
Electric Jukebox offers all the benefits of premium music streaming in a box without the need for a smartphone, a PC, or monthly subscription.
It is really easy to set up too, simply plug Electric Jukebox into your TV with an HDMI cable, connect to Wi-Fi and instantly play millions of songs, hundreds of curated music channels, charts, and exclusive celebrity mixtapes from the likes of Robbie Williams, Sheryl Crow, Alesha Dixon and Stephen Fry.
Hubby being the music nerd that he is, tried to outsmart the device by finding some weird and wacky songs that he thought it wouldn’t have, but he has yet to find a song that it cannot stream. You can easily search for songs with your voice or by typing in the song name or artist.
Electric Jukebox is designed to be enjoyed by everyone and with a lifetime of music in one box it’s the perfect Christmas gift, offering the easiest and most enjoyable way to listen to music at home. In fact it is the teens that currently use it the most, normally finding song requests from the younger ones.
Electric Jukebox is available in three colours, black, blue and red and to order from www.electricjukebox.com for UK RRP £169 which includes a free 1-year Premium Music Pass. After the initial 1-year period, the service includes adverts. To retain full functionality ad-free, a further 1-year Music Pass is available for £52, which is less than half the price of Spotify, Google Play and Apple Steaming Services.
My only grumble with it is that you cannot take it in the car with you or stream anything on your phone.
I really need to get with the digital age – I’ve still got vinyl for god’s sake! My daughter amazed me by bluetoothing spotify to our DAB radio in the kitchen the other day – I had no idea you could! I’m such a dinosaur!
This looks like a fab little device. I’ll be honest I usually just pop some headphones into my iphone and play songs via that. Streaming around the house seems rather complicated for a techno phob like me but I always find the headphones drown out the kids noise which is always a good thing
That would make such a good present for someone wouldn’t it? Great idea! 🙂
This looks like a great way to listen to music and would make a great gift.
We have Amazon Prime and are getting an Echo for Christmas. I looked into this, but had issues as it Wouldnt work in the car and as we do not have CD players in the car we would need something.
Ha, see I don’t even know what spotify is, I’m so bad with technology! I love that you can ask this to find songs just using your voice though.
This sounds interesting and would be a great gift for someone.
I have Amazon Prime so use the music on there and we also have a family subscription to Apple Music as we often listen to music at home x x
This does sound interesting! I’ve only just started using Spotify! 🙂
We have this too, I’m just about to get it out of the box. Looks awesome x
What an amazing gadget – my Husband hates listening to music from the phone so the jukebox would be ideal for him
Wow, that looks great. Something my husband would LOVE!!
I haven’t seen this before – it looks very interesting. I just listen to music in the car or on the TV> Kaz x
