| With Digital Audio Broadcast (DAB) you’ll discover a broader range of music, debate and ideas, all in crystal clear digital sound. |
Ease-Of-Use
Digital radios are much easier to use than analogue radios because they automatically search for all available stations. Once the radio has found all the available stations you just choose the one you want by name. No more trying to remember frequencies.
Wider Station Choice
With up to 55 DAB stations available in many areas, and more on the way, you’ll be spoilt for choice. As well as existing favourites like BBC radios 1-4, BBC radio 5 live, Classic FM and talkSPORT, there are also great exclusive-to-digital stations such as BBC 1Xtra, BBC 5 live Sports Extra, BBC 6 Music, BBC 7 and Planet Rock.
Digital Sound Quality
DAB is crackle-clear and hiss-free because it’s not subject to the same interference as analogue radio.
DAB Stations
There's more listening choice on DAB too. These great stations and many more are available in the UK on DAB digital radio. As DAB coverage varies, remember to check which stations are available in your area.

The Pure One Classic is my first DAB radio. I bought it from Amazon to replace my old Sony portable whose rechargeable batteries forever need changing, frustratingly just when I'm listening to something special! I also bought the Pure ChargePAK which fits inside the radio. It costs not much more than 2 sets of 4 rechargeable AA batteries and a charger. Fantastically it recharges whenever the radio is connected to the mains even when the radio is turned off so I keep the radio connected to the mains and simply pull out the plug at the back of the radio when I want to use it as a portable in the bathroom or shed etc. If left unconnected from the mains, the battery lasts ages before needing a recharge.
The on/off button is the medium size button bottom right in the photo. The large knob is the volume knob.
To select or set the functions of the radio one simply presses one of the small silver buttons surrounding the large central knob then turn the large central knob clockwise to scroll through the options of that particular button. To select the required option just press the large central knob inwards. - Dead easy!
The reception is good both in DAB and FM and the sound quality is really good especially when the bass and treble are tweaked to taste. The written instructions are good and clear. I enjoy the scrolling text advising of the current programme or the title of the music being played.
I chose the white colour option which fits in very comfortably in the bathroom, kitchen and bedroom - much better than dull black! It also has a kitchen timer, an alarm function and a socket for playing an MP3 player although I haven't used these yet.
I find myself listening to this radio much, much more than previously (I'm listening to it now in the background while I'm typing this) and without fear of the batteries running out. I really enjoy this radio. It is a November 2008 Which? magazine Best Buy so you can't really go wrong. I recommend it.

After alot of umming and ahhing, reading countless reviews, I bought this lovely looking radio for my kitchen to replace my aging Sony FM.
This has great reception on both DAB and FM in my area - and we don't have a particularly strong signal.
Overall, you are buying a radio to listen to. So, if you want a nice looking, crisp sounding and well built radio which picks up radio signals and plays them (!) you cannot go far wrong with this great liile box of tricks!
Really happy!

I bought this item for my study (to listen to a bit of DAB Classical music while studying).
Now, I have an entire library of iTunes songs and of course you can get radio online. But it's not the same coming from a computer/laptop. So getting a radio was the only way to go, and I felt like splashing out on something which would give a good quality reception.
Within about 60 seconds of receiving this item, it was unpacked, plugged in, had autotuned itself and was ready to run. The sound is great, it's a fantastic design which doesn't draw too much attention to itself. Decent size, can go relatively loud if you want it to. Nothing major to complain about.
I've given it five stars because as well as providing excellent sound quality, it's very easy to use with an intuitive menu layout and useful central rotating (and inwards-pressing knob). It does exactly what I wanted it to do and it's money well spent in my mind.
There are two or three very minor annoyances though. One - the volume has a wide range and has about 15 different levels (selected using the knob). But towards the bottom, i.e. between 0 (silent) and 1, it's quite a distinctive gap, relatively speaking. Level 1 is of course very quiet, but I would have liked it to be a bit quieter. Maybe in a kitchen you wouldn't notice this (or need such a low level), but alone in a study it would be nicer to have a bit more control over how quiet the quietest volume level is. Two - I have this radio sat about 80cm in front of me to my right on my desk. As such, most of the time I'm leaning over to press buttons. I wouldn't say the buttons are stiff, but they require some sort of pressure to press properly. Because of this, say you were to press one of the smaller buttons at the top of the U shaped layout, you'd need to use the other hand (or a finger from the same hand) to hold the radio in place. Otherwise it would simply fall over. If the buttons had been located on the top, this wouldn't be a problem. But I'm nit-picking here, it's not a major issue at all. Indeed, radios are usually left to play for hours without fiddling about. The volume button is easy to turn with a couple of fingers.
But generally speaking, it's a fantastic peice of equipment and I hope to get many years' use out of it.
