Majority launches the Mini Shelford, a compact portable Bluetooth DAB+/FM radio that shrinks the retro styling of the brand’s popular Little Shelford into a palm-sized 13cm footprint. The Majority Mini Shelford is built for quick placement anywhere in the home, from the kitchen counter to the garden table, and its rechargeable battery means it never needs to sit near a socket.
A palm-sized footprint with full-size features
Despite its compact 13cm footprint, the Mini Shelford keeps the feature set that made the Little Shelford popular. It combines DAB+ and FM radio with Bluetooth (SBC) for streaming podcasts, audiobooks and music services, and pairs both with a full-colour display for at-a-glance station and track information. A rechargeable battery frees the Mini Shelford from mains power, so it moves easily between rooms or comes along on holiday.
Designed for the bedside as much as the kitchen
A headphone socket makes the Mini Shelford suitable for private bedroom listening, while a dual alarm and sleep timer round out its use as a bedside companion. An intuitive rotary dial keeps control simple, and Majority has paired the retro-styled body with four colourways: Dusty Rose, Olive, Black and Cream, so the Mini Shelford can be matched to different interiors rather than treated as a purely functional gadget.
Listeners who stream more than they tune in may also want to read our piece on the convenience of streaming high-res audio, which covers how Bluetooth streaming fits into a wider high-end listening setup.
