Hello. if i use rechargeable batteries in it , does it charge via the cable or do i need a separate recharger. many thanks!

Hi Peter, Rechargeable batteries will not be charged via the cable. You will need a separate recharger. Kind regards Philipa Audio Consumer Care

Has it got a head phone socket in the back

Hi, No, it does not have headphone socket at all. Kind regards, Philips Audio Consumer Care

Can you connect Bluetooth headphones and listen to the FM tuner that way?

Hi there, you cannot connect Bluetooth headphones to the radio. You see, the radio is the output, just like your headphone. The input is for example a smartphone with Spotify. So in your case, you can connect the radio to your phone and listen to Spotify with the sound coming out of the radio's speaker, or connect a headset to your phone and listen to Spotify with the sound coming out of the headsets. I hope that I was clear.
