There's a, perhaps more mature, matt finish, and there's the addition of the ability to pause, rewind and fast forward live radio. The system also includes a headphone output for private listening and an AUX input for connecting external devices.

When the full 180 minutes wouldn’t require more than a couple of hundred megabytes of data, this is a bit disappointing. Although the display is bright and the text is clear some users may still prefer larger text with less information. DAB+ radio alarms with integrated tuners have additional features that allow you to set the alarm, to snooze and to show the time. One of these technologies was the Flow software platform that allowed Pure to consolidate and stream internet radio.

Even though DAB/DAB+ radios work without long antennae, their signal is much more stable and easier to receive. You’ve made the change to USB-C with your last smartphone and you have no intention of investing in anything that relies on micro USB. If your radio cannot receive any stations after the update, including DAB stations you could receive previously, you could try re-scanning for radio stations. Pure is the king of DAB in the UK, and its first internet radio, the Evoke Flow, was one of just a handful of devices to win a TrustedReviews 10 out of 10 at review.

A larger full colour screen, a rotary knob for the volume and battery and mains power options are all useful updates. However, with DAB+ progressing quickly and most broadcasters moving to digital transmission, we can expect FM to stick around for a while longer without being further developed. In addition to DAB usability, station choice and sound quality, The Pure One EcoPlus DAB Radio also features FM with RDS for areas where DAB is currently unavailable. This display can easily be set to switch off after a few seconds of idleness – a must-have feature if you’re on the hunt for a bedside set. Unlimited number of stations: Reception of up to 30,000 stations and streaming providers from all over the world via DAB+ technology.

Many DAB stations are broadcast at criminally low bitrates, making digital artefacting horribly apparent when piped through analytical or trebly speakers. Everything is tested by our dedicated team of in-house reviewers in our custom-built test rooms in London, Reading and Bath.

It’s a pity there are no equalisation options available here, as having some basic control over bass and treble levels could have solved this small issue. 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. My dh bought the Pure ONE Classic Series II Black DAB Digital Radio for our kitchen and after some time it has become grubby and sticky. ChargePAK™ ready as standard, The Pure One EcoPlus DAB Radio also offers class-leading battery life, with around 35 hours of DAB listening from six standard C size batteries.For those looking for a radio for the kitchen or bathroom, the Pure Elan Connect offers a fantastic one-box solution. Today, we have millions of users a month from around the world, and assess more than 1,000 products a year. This gadget allows you to listen to CDs and also receive DAB+ radio stations to give you a better choice of music and radio stations.

It’s the same as the Roberts Play 10 and less than Sony’s cheapest DAB radio, neither of which have Bluetooth connectivity. It doesn’t have Spotify streaming like Logitech’s internet radios, but the One Flow offers superb all-round flexibility.

If just DAB+ stations cannot be received this could be because the unlock process has not been completed. This DAB/DAB+/FM and Internet radio is all about affordability, from the lightweight all-plastic chassis to the inclusion of micro USB rather than USB-C to connect to power. The better your problem and question is described, the easier it is for other Pure owners to provide you with a good answer. At full volume the radio fills a kitchen and can still be heard over a kettle or cooking without the sound distorting.
