Advantages: Great Value, Good Features, Fantastic Quality Sound Disadvantages: Silly Placement of the Mains Plug At The Back
I have always been a fan of the radio and although I have quite specific music tastes, I enjoy having the variety and general natter of a radio on in the background, especially to reduce boredom or to make a place seem a little more alive when 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 the funky and modern white, mainly due to the fact I was planning on using the radio in my office and most of my colleagues already think I?m a bit OTT ...
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 and with it being 2008 I realised technology would have 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 ...
Advantages: PURE DIGITAL SOUND Disadvantages: I WISH IT WAS PORTABLE
I have been living with my PureDigital Tempus 1 now for about a year and it's wonderful. The sound quality is just great and I am always amazed that all that sound can come from just one small speaker. It has enabled me to listen to a large number of MW/LW stations with a new quality of sound that I could only have once listened to with a slightly muffled sound or not at all. Now I can fall asleep with luxury.
The Tempus is a Digital DAB radio but with the added advantage of it being an clock radio.
The Tempus measures 210 mm width x 175 mm height x 110 mm depth.and has a lovely light wood surround case, this I have been told is to give a much better quality sound (please let me know if I have got that wrong) and a silver coloured front with a silver handle for easy carrying this handle also doubles as a snooze handle ...
