Customer Reviews

Easy to use but poor sound
Far from the 'great sound' mentioned by other reviewers, I find the sound lacking totally in treble. It's a muddy sound with no real clarity.

This is a shame as the radio works extremely well.

Excellent Radio pity about the battery life and poor after service from Pure

Well made radio with good quality sound. To claim that this radio will run for 35 hours on 6 size C batteries is completely untrue. You will be lucky to get 2to 3 hours.It does however run well off the mains.

I hope you never have to contact the Pure technical department for help or advice because you will not get it and this despite the promises made on their website. I shall think twice in future before buying their products again.

It's a Dad Radio that works.
Dab radio and FM radio.
It's not overloaded with functions, is quite lightweight, but does a good job at playing the music.
You won't get thunderous bass, but you get a well-balanced sound with enough bass and high end for a very decent sound.
Bear in mind that this unit's battery is £28 - half the price of the radio itself.
I would probably think more about portability and batteries next time I purchase a DAB radio.
If you don't need the battery/portable aspect, great. If it's worth radio cost plus battery cost, then I'm not quite as certain.
Overall, it is a very nice unit - just wish the battery was cheaper.
