4.0 out of 5 stars A Decent Rechargeable At Last, 24 Jan 2006
By WH Lees (Birmingham, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A chunky and robust piece of kit this, with rugged rubber bumpers and waterproofing intended to make it bathroom friendly. It also has a realistically rechargeable built in battery which makes for, in my view, the first genuinely portable DAB radio. The trouble with digital DAB radios, you see, is that they eat battery life like Cyril Smith eats tripe and onions. With my Roberts model for example, you put new batteries in (or newly charged up rechargeables), switch it on, listen for what seems like twenty minutes, and presto - your batteries are dead. The Oasis deals with this problem nicely, giving something like ten hours listening before a "Low Battery" message appears on the display to remind you to re-charge it. I've found that it's best just to keep it plugged into the mains whenever you're not taking it into the shower with you.

The chassis of this radio seems, unsurprisingly, to be based on the very successful Evoke series, although because it's vertical instead of horizontal, it has only four pre-set station buttons, for which I deduct one star. It gets 4 stars for sound quality, however, which is excellent. Reception is very good indeed through the stubby rubberised antenna, and it has the usual(these days) input jacks for other devices.

All in all, a splendid little DAB radio - but I do wish it had more preset buttons.

4.0 out of 5 stars Does exactly what it claims, 9 Feb 2006
My first DAB radio, switched it on and amazed at the quality of sound. A fair size for a portable but as it seems very sturdy, is all self contained and works perfectly that isn't a worry. Going to be enjoying this radio for some time to come.

The reason for four stars over five is it could do with an alarm clock function (I hope pure have that up their sleeve in a software update), wish it was rechargable from any old mains lead (requires plug in brick) and it's only mono.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb build and sound quality, 20 Mar 2006
By M. Webster "webbo73" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This portable DAB radio oozes quality - it is built to last and feels very sturdy. It is bigger than it looks in the photos and has a nice handle built into the top of it making lugging it about easy. Mine is based in the kitchen but it's easy to unplug and carry into the bathroom, the garden or wherever you want. The sound quality is great considering it is mono - with plenty of volume if required. You can attach other devices to it via a line in or alternatively you could attach stereo speakers to it for an even better sound. It's my first DAB device and I am very happy with it (I also wish it had an alarm, then it would be in my bedroom instead ;-) ).

2.0 out of 5 stars Nice sound, no user access to battery
The major downside is that the battery cannot be accessed by the user. When the battery dies (~18 months) you'll be asked to send it for "repair" at your cost.
