Pure Tempus-1 DAB Digital Radio

Advantages: stylish, simple, clever extra features
Disadvantages: Can't take it with me everywhere!

...Pure Tempus-1 DAB Digital Radio Plug it in and it does the rest, it automatically finds the stations and tells you all about them with scrolling text on the LCD screen. Information that be accessed includes the station name, frequency, signal quality and a text summary of the current programme. The main attraction of DAB radio to us was no static and the digital only channels such as BBC Radio 7 (comedy and stories), Passion FM (world music plus environmental ?tit bits?). We have not been disappointed with these. The sound from the radio is excellent, not at all ?tinny? for such a small radio. Reception is generally All or Nothing and you can check how your local area is served by digital radio at http://www.pure-digital.com/ by typing in your post code. They will tell you which stations you will be able to receive...

Review of Pure Digital Tempus 1

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 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...

Here Beginneth My Digital Radio Revolution

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

...see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DigitalAudioBroadcasting To check DAB is available at your postcode http://www.bbc.co.uk/reception/digitalradio/dab.shtml To check DAB stations are your 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 counted nearly 3 times as many Pure DAB radios than the next brand. They also have some very eye-catching designs. The Pure models are available in simple models or the retro look. I was...

Review of Pure Digital ONE MINI

Pure Digital Sound for Sleepyheads.

Advantages: PURE DIGITAL SOUND
Disadvantages: I WISH IT WAS PORTABLE

...I have been living with my Pure Digital 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...

Review of Pure Digital Tempus 1

The Start of The Digital Era...

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...

Review of Pure Digital ONE Classic

Pure Evoke-1 XT

Advantages: Small, compact, good sound and quality
Disadvantages: No batteries, mildly expensive

...-Pure Digital Evoke-1XT Digital Audio Broadcasting Digital Radio- This is a small, compact DAB only digital radio, It is available in either cherry (slightly darker) or beech (lighter) wooden finishes and has an attractive blue back lit display. Sound of a radio is all important, because what you want to do is listen to it! This little beauty doesn't dissapoint, good things really can come in small packages. It's around half the size of a shoe-box, but delivers quality full sounding music, be it radio 1 on a Saturday night or smooth classical music to send you to sleep you will be impressed with the sound so much you'll wonder why you kept that old analogue ghetto blaster/clock radio for so long.

Review of Pure Digital EVOKE1XT

The Pure Highway saved my life

Advantages: Very Portable and very easy to use
Disadvantages: Suffers from poor signal in some remote areas

...I use the Pure Highway every day in my truck and I have to say it is brilliant. It tunes into a spare FM band on my in cab radio and sounds first class. It is so easy to use and looks great as well. The Pure Highway fits into a small space on my windscreen out of the wiper swipe and keeps me legal. The Highway takes its power from the cigarette lighter and has an internal Arial that is fixed to the windscreen. I found this system ok for most journeys but when I was in more remote parts of the country I suffered from digital drop out. The pure allows you to fade this rather than here that awful screeching sound. I eventually purchased an outside Arial that fits on the cab roof via a magnetic base. This allows me 100% coverage all over the UK so far. I rely on my Pure Highway every day and I have to say it has never let me down...

Review of Pure Digital Highway IN-CAR DAB Tuner

Pure 1500 handheld DAB / FM Radio

Advantages: Good Quality reception, easy to use.
Disadvantages: Navigator button too small, On the expensive side, No case included with radio

...I purchased a Pure 1500 Handheld DAB / FM Radio and had it for one week as I did not get on very well with the buttons. I consequently found something else in its place. Here is the lowdown of the Pure 1500 handheld DAB Radio. What it does: FM and DAB with RDS (Radio Data System) which displays the radio broadcast data, ie: The station name, song data, artist data etc. Rechargable battery which boasts to last for upto 24 hours using DAB. 20 Presets (10 FM stations and 10 DAB stations which means your favourite stations can be stored and accessed at the touch of one button. 5 EQ Settings Hardware: The casing is made from metal and was slightly bigger than I was anticipating. The device has plastic silver buttons (which seemed a bit tacky and I am not sure why they didn't use metal buttons instead (maybe a weight issue...

Review of Pure Digital Pocket DAB 1500

Pure Digital

Advantages: Access To Digital Only Stations, Clear Reception, Looks Very Nice
Disadvantages: Single Speaker, Expensive, Only 6 Presets.

...it in to select. Also present is a 2 line backlit LCD display. The audio quality of the radio is excellent and the list of available stations is growing... The only thing that is annoying is that with old analogue radios you could still listen to stations even if your reception wasnt perfect, you could choose to listen with some interference, With DAB you cant, its all or nothing... if the signal isnt spot on you just wont get the station. It would of been nice to have the option but this defeats the object of digital I guess. The radio is quite heavy but as I said earlier its mains only powered so it wont be moved around much. The mains adapters comes supplied. The radio only has 1 speaker but you can by an optional second one to turn the radio into a stereo system, These were selling for about £70 but have probably been reduced by...

Review of Pure Digital Evoke 1

♪ I love my radio, my girlie radio ♪

Advantages: Girly pink, so cute! (Other colours available!) Easy to use.
Disadvantages: I don't think so.

...I just love my new digital radio. It's hot, it's pink, and it rocks! (it even has a pink box!) Now come on, don't let that put you off reading the rest of this review... It is also available in black or white and looks very sleek in those colours. As Pure tells you on the box, it's "the radio for everyone". I was eager to purchase a radio for my kitchen. I don't know why I didn't have one in there already. The time had come for me to get some company to help me with my kitchen chores. I suppose I could only stand so much of my own beautiful singing voice. The only way forward for me was a spanking new digital radio, so off I trot to John Lewis. A vast array of digital radios to choose from in good old John Lewis. Some reduced in price, but bulky looking, some pretty and retro looking but still quite expensive, and this...
