Colour Name:Black
Nice looking radio, handy size and very user friendly - easy to set up, uncomplicated controls.
The sound is pretty punchy for a small radio, although the sound quality isn't top drawer. Fair enough, it's at the budget end of the range, but even so I have a couple of non-Pure DAB radios around the house which were both cheaper than the Mi but have a richer and more mellow sound. I listen to a lot of classical music so that tends to be where any deficiencies show up.
Also, be aware that if you want to use the radio on the hoof, you'll have to shell out for a special chargepak. It won't take ordinary batteries. My Pure pocket radio came with an integral chargepak, and for some reason I hadn't cottoned on to the fact that the Pure Mi doesn't. You don't have to buy this of course, as it works on the mains, but the whole point of its size is that it's very portable.
There's a smart-looking orange and black cover available as an optional extra, so if you're prepared to splash out, this will all make for a very nice little package. It's great as a second radio, or if you want one small and light enough to take out and about. If it's going to be your only radio, though, and spend its time at home, you could get a bigger one with better quality sound for the same sort of money, if you look around.

Colour Name:Black
I only bought this radio because it was in the Black Friday promotion, however I'm glad I did as this is a nice little budget DAB radio which has no problem picking up stations in what is a (supposedly) poor reception area. Sound is very radio-alarm-clock standard, however for my use is fine as I mostly use it to listen to speech. If you want to listen to music though I'd personally spend more on a better sounding model if it's to be your primary radio.
The main drawback is that it doesn't take standard batteries and you have to buy the special Pure brand battery, the chargePAK (which I bought after the purchase), if you want to use it portable. It's a shame really as it seems a blatant cash-in to get you to spend more money on the unit (and the battery isn't cheap), however if you do purchase the chargePAK, it will last more than enough hours on a single charge and still keeps the unit very light.
Also bear in mind that this is a basic model and lacks features such as a headphone socket or line-in/out, however with the purchase of the battery, I've ended up with what I wanted (i.e. a light radio I can walk round the house with in the mornings). Just bear in mind that additional battery cost if you want it to be portable.

I was amazed by this little radio. It reminded me when I was a kid and would take mmy little transistor radio around with me. This radio has every thing you need in a portable DAB radio for a very affordable price. The reception is great and I live in a poor reception area. The sound is crisp and fairly loud for its size.
This radio will not blast out the windows but that is not what it is designed for. If you just want a radio to listern to the news or radio 4 then this is the radio for you. It is good for listerning to music but it is no big watt sound system. I would fully recommend this radio for people interested in dipping their toes in the digital age and who are constrained by a low budget.
