About this deal

Correctly guess how to enter it (turning the dial to select the number and A-F – obvious – then pressing the button in to advance to the next one – perhaps not quite so obvious to all). In hindsight, this was perhaps the most enjoyable stage of the process, as it felt a bit like opening a safe. The whole process took me about 20 minutes (including trying to get the Mi working). I would have thought the average consumer simply won't bother and if they have a go, could easily give up. Decide at this point things are going to be a lot simpler if I just take the radio upstairs to where the computer is (I’m going to have to connect it to USB anyway). But first, take a photo of the display, showing the hardware identifier.

Retry firmware upgrade. (Pure app has a button for this). This time, takes a lot longer (promising), but fails again (not so much). The Pure One Mini Series II uses a single 3in driver, to handle the whole frequency spectrum. However, so do several of Pure’s larger classic models, including the Evoke 1-S and Evoke Flow.Try and tune into a DAB+ station. Opt for Gold. Appears in the station listing twice, once as Gold on local mux I know I definitely can’t get in this room, and as Gold UK on D1 in DAB+ (40k), which is what I need to test.

Pure One Mini Series II sound quality There's not a lot of bass weight, though this isn't the biggest surprise considering the size, but otherwise there's much to like in this ultra-portable Mini Pure.

I'm an IT systems manager for a large organisation. Therefore I like to think I'm pretty savvy when it comes to technology. Now asked to enter ‘Device Hardware Identifier’. Wonder how secure this needs to be. Wonder how I’m supposed to get that. See it involves holding down Menu button then waiting and holding it down a second time. Presented with a 32-digit hex number on two lines of the screen. Really? Attempt to enter this in full the first time (rejected), verify I’ve typed it correctly, then re-read the instructions and note they only want the top line. Note that they could have just trimmed the first 16 characters of the response or limited the maximum length of the text field. (Grateful I don’t own a different Pure radio, having read account from another user that hardware identifier on Pure One Mini only displayed for two seconds at a time before reverting to radio mode).Add in the low price, reasonably-priced optional battery and good sound quality and the One Mini appears quite the bargain. If you can stomach the extra cash, the Evoke 1S offers a more attractive design and warmer sound, but we do think this second series model represents a significant upgrade over the original 2008 One Mini.
