PURE ONE Classic, Portable DAB/FM Radio - Black

Product Information

Unlike the last Pure radio we tested, the Pure One Flow, this box offers some basic equalisation settings too with customisable bass and treble levels. We found the standard setting adequate, but if you listen exclusively to spoken word stations like BBC Radio 4, you may want to turn the bass down a tad as it can make some people sound a tad muffled. All-in-one music systems, Internet radio, DAB/DAB+ radio, smart radio and Bluetooth radio from PURE London The relative paucity of what’s on offer here also helps to keep the interface dead simple – and means the basic 2-line display is perfectly adequate. Pure’s connected units use more advanced AMOLED screens, but the monochrome display here is perfectly clear.

The Siesta Rise and the Elan Connect are Pure’s top DAB+ radio alarms. DAB+ radio with CD player by PureIn our review we’ll look at setting up the radio, how it sounds, the radio and Bluetooth modes and how easy it is to use. Features and setup

Switch-on the Pure Elan Connect and you’ll be taken straight to network settings, not only for fetching internet radio stations and podcasts, but also to keep time. There follows a slightly confusing set of choices for things such as daylight savings – for which the default is ‘no’… why would anyone want a radio that gives the wrong time for half the year?!. Nevertheless, at least connecting to the home Wi-Fi network is easy if you’re using a WPS-enabled Wi-Fi router.Stereo reproduction appeared to be accurate on FM, DAB and with Bluetooth, even though the radio has a single speaker. Not all DAB radio stations are broadcast in stereo and this would explain why some stations are still in mono when using headphones. Don't use washing up liquid and hot water. I tried this on ours and the covering started peeling off instead of cleaning.
