Pure Digital Evoke 3 DAB Radio - top sound for a portable radio

Advantages: Great sound, great features, record to SD card
Disadvantages: Can't record one station whilst listening to another, no MW and not the most intuitive to use.

I pondered for ages trying to decide between the Roberts RD55 and Pure's Evoke 3 as I wanted something that had functionality to pause and rewind, record (specifically to SD card), play FM stations, have stereo sound and play MP3's as well as one that gave great sound and could carry base and wouldn't distort at high volumes but I couldn't find anywhere on the net that compared the 2. I knew the Evoke 3 had won loads of awards but that was in 2006 ...
...moved on so the newer RD55 could have improved or equal quality sound without having won any awards. In the end I realised the only option was to actually go into a shop and listen to the sound for myself (having a baby I'd put off doing that as it can be such a mission to get out these days!). The only local shop I found that had a good selection of DAB radios didn't stock the RD55 or the Evoke 3 but instead informed me that the Roberts RD25 was ...

Review of Pure Digital Evoke 3

The Start of The Digital Era...

Advantages: Great Value, Good Features, Fantastic Quality Sound
Disadvantages: Silly Placement of the Mains Plug At The Back

...your home alone. The Pure One Digital DAB Radio is the first and only DAB radio I have owned, you’ve got to move with the times right? I had been thinking about purchasing one for a while after hearing good things about this little radio and have now been enjoying it for about 6 months. The Pure One comes in a choice of 3 colours; black, pink and white. I would have loved to have brought the pink one as it’s a cute pastel colour, but opted for ...
...I was planning on using the radio in my office and most of my colleagues already think I’m a bit OTT with pink! The radio itself I picked up from HMV for £39.99. It came in a simple box packaging with a leaflet with instruction. Although I have never needed to look at these as the radio is extremely easy to use and programme. The design and layout are very simple and stylish and mean it pretty simple to understand what the 7 buttons do. There are ...

Review of Makita BMR 100

Great looking radio, Roberts R250

Advantages: Great to look at.
Disadvantages: Pricey.

...looked more original. The Roberts logo on mine looked somehow cheap compared to theirs. I love this radio and it sits in my kitchen where it´s used many times throughout the day. I love how it looks. I remember when I first got it being a little disappointed with the sound quality but over the years that I´ve had it I´ve got used to it. I do think they are very expensive to buy when you consider what else you could buy for the same amount or less ...

Review of Roberts R 250 Revival

Here Beginneth My Digital Radio Revolution

Advantages: Small-form and easy operation
Disadvantages: Mains only unless you purchase the expensive battery pack

...postcode http://www.ukdigitalradio.com/ ~~~ PURE ONE MINI ~~~ My main requirement with a DAB radio was to be able to play radio but for it to also look aesthetically pleasing. When I was wandering around the electronics department to gauge the type of products on display I noticed the shelves were primarily lined with the following brands: - Pure - Roberts - Sony And I noticed that the Pure models were more abundant than the other brands. I ...
...very eye-catching designs. The Pure models are available in simple models or the retro look. I was after something inexpensive, portable and simple which is when my eye fell on the Pure One mini. the Pure One mini is available in glossy black, white or pink. I went with the glossy white version. The Pure One mini is only 6 inches by 6 inches and 2.5 inches deep and without the battery pack is less than 1kg in weight. It has a digital display that ...
