Verdict

The Cambridge Audio Go Radio is a highly portable Bluetooth speaker measuring 9.3 x 4.8 x 2.4 inches and weighing 2.4 pounds, distinguished by its integrated FM radio with three station presets and a front-facing LED display. Its premium audio hardware includes two 2-inch woofers, two 0.75-inch titanium dome tweeters, a rear-firing passive bass radiator, and a Class-D amplifier with Digital Signal Processing. Key pros include an exceptional 18-hour rechargeable lithium-ion battery life, high-quality aptX and NFC Bluetooth pairing, and a full-size USB port that allows users to charge external mobile devices. However, its main cons include a somewhat chunky plastic design, the absence of an integrated speakerphone for voice calls, and a tendency for the audio to distort when playing tracks with deep bass at high volumes.
