Triangle radio.

Advantages: nice triangle design with quality sound.
Disadvantages: lack of depth.

DAB radio was a stuff that I never dreamt of getting until when a friend recommended that to me some few months ago. Well I was strongly in doubt of the radio because of the shape that I never liked and the weight was too light for a radio. Well the DAB radio arrived some few years ago, which is capable of giving more than 50 local stations. EASE OF USE. ---------------------- Well the DAB radio is a device that does not give problems in using ...
...the most important thing about the DAB radio is that it carries waves along with date and time information accurately and this has helped me in different occasions for accountability. It automatically scans the airwave for the date and time to come in a more accurate form and comfortably displays both features on the nice blue screen. Although that most of the in formations brought by the DAB does appear in a blue screen, it is far very bright for ...

Bright time

Advantages: Stylish design, clear sound
Disadvantages: Display too bright, sound lacks depth

I was quite quick to embrace the arrival of DAB radio a few years ago and then living in London, it gave me a choice of around sixty stations. At that time I had an am/fm clock radio and a separate DAB radio. Neither could properly perform the role of the other. Luckily there are now several DAB clock radios on the market and I opted for the Chronos by arguably the best manufacturer of DAB equipment, Pure. What it looks like ----------------------- ...
...half of its area is the speaker. The other half are the buttons used to control and use the unit. The radio is around 70mm tall and the front of the unit houses the display. Using it ---------- DAB radio waves carry date and time information and this is very useful indeed for the Chronos. The first time you plug it in, it automatically scans the airwaves for the date and time and duly displays both on its blue screen. On the subject of the screen, ...

Wakes me up (just about).

Advantages: Small, sleek, good alarm fucntions.
Disadvantages: Sound quality could be better at high volumes.

I got this as a gift a year or so back, as I wanted a DAB radio to walk me up in the morning (to Planet Rock). This arrived in my stocking, and was exactly what I was looking for. It is a triangle shape, so it looks cool and sits on your bedside table nicely. It is handy here as the screen is constantly lit up even when off so you cans see the time, it has two brightness settings as well so you can have it to your taste but in all honesty the brighter ...
...a number of settings, primarily alarm settings as that is what it is designed for, so you can set a daily alarm, weekday alarm and weekend alarm which is very handy. It has all of the usual stuff like snooze buttons as well, so you can lay in bed for as long as possible before getting to to rush to get to where you need to be. As for sound quality, it is good enough for it's job, which is waking you up or just listening to the football or some casual ...

very stylish DAB radio

Advantages: very easy to set up
Disadvantages: setting alarm a bit fiddly because of 4 alarm settings

This DAB radio is very stylish and looks great anywhere. The modern shape and stylish chrome colour make it very modern in look. You can plug it in and it sets the time and radio programmes instantly.Then you can easily change channels and it tells you the channel and even what track is playing. In our area there are 49 digital channels including all the local radio channels. You can only listen to digital radio but as all programmes you could want ...
...anything else.The only thing we found fiddly was setting the alarm because of the number of alarms available. You can wake to either radio or an alarm.There also also snooze and sleep settings so the radio will switch itself off.Once you had decided whether you wanted weekday, weekend or one off settings it became easier. We bought ours from eAtay for £64 and I must say it was very easy.The website was easy to use and ordering easy. Once I had placed ...

Disappointing

Advantages: good styling; auto clock setting; auto channel search
Disadvantages: difficult instructions; unreliability; poor customer service

...my previous purchase of a Pure product, the instructions were difficult to follow and setting the alarm never leaves me confident that it will operate as I intended! Setting clock and finding stations was easy. Sound quality OK for my purposes - I only want speech programmes - but unit vibrates at anything other than low volume. Left the unit on for 10 minutes - sound then disappeared and substituted by loud whistling noise. Eventually found that ...
...the Pure service line - good that they dont use an exploitative 0870 number - but "no technician available"! Nobody phoned back - exactly my experience when I had to contact them six weeks ago with a defective Pure product. Customer service clearly not a priority for this company. ...
