First - this is a sexy radio. In my opinion, it knocks Pure (with their increasingly dated core design) into a cocked hat. Second, the sound is very decent for a radio of this size, in this price bracket (will will only get better if and when the UK moves to DAB+, which this supports). It also feels solidly built and hasn't so far been prone to the unreliability I've recently found from Pure DAB radios.
BUT - There are a few things about it which let it down badly.
- It has no preset buttons. Changing between stations is either manual, or via a horribly unintuitive favourites menu.
- The 'enter' button is positioned well away from the jog knob, used for navigating menus, stations, etc. Why not make the jog knob clickable?
- The display is *terrible*. It's a dirt cheap LCD, which (despite being white on black) leaks light and has a very poor viewing angle. The text scrolling happens one character at a time, rather than smoothly, as it the case with most recent DAB radios. The OLED display in my Pure Tempus is infinitely better at around the same price point.
I'm happy with my radio, but disappointed because it could so easily have been much better.

This Radio is a small wonder.Very lovely retro design and it looks and feels like real wood. This radio is the perfect kitchen or garage radio, It is very light to carry, good readable screen and the sound (for the price you are paying) is fantastic. the sound from this radio is very warm and clear but don't look at this radio if you want bass. this radio is aimed at the all day listener how wants a radio that is easy on the ears.the only drawback i could find (for some people) is that it dose not use battery's so it is not portable but for me that is not an issue because i got it for my garage and it will stay there on the same shelf for decades (hopefully) :) as for reception i had no issues at all, but i live in Malta 316 Sq KM island in the middle of the Mediterranean, so reception is not an issue.
hope you people find this review helpful since some reviews out there are misleading (low star rating), because some people for the £60 they payed expect Hi-Fi sound and the 3inc speakers to perform as subwoofers.

DAB reception was good, but FM was very poor (considerably worse than my cheap analogue 20 year old boom-box radio) with lots of hiss, interference, and poor signal strength.
Rang Sony and they were very helpful, but could only suggest re-setting the radio, which didn't help.
Sound quallity was reasonable. The design could be improved with the addition of a line-out socket and some way of attaching an external aerial.
