Pure One Elite DAB FM Radio

Overview

The Pure One Elite DAB FM radio takes portable DAB up yet another level. It’s stereo twin speakers and seperate Bass and Treble controls ensure unprecedented sound quality from such a small radio.

Also included is Revu which allows you to pause and rewind live DAB radio.

3 power options include mains, battery or the rechargeable ChargePak. Pure claim 70 hours with disposable and 35 hours use on a full charge with the ChargePak.

Our review set had the ChargePak fitted and we easily surpassed the 35 hour mark and would highly recommend this option as it’s going to be expensive running it on disposables. Being branded by Pure as their “Elite unit” it’s a surprise it didn’t come with the ChargePak fitted as standard.

This is even more surprising as the Pure One Elite is one of the EcoPlus products meaning Pure have supposedly done all they can to make sure their product is as environmentally friendly as possible.

as you would expect, being fitted with stereo speakers we found the sound quality to be better than any other DAB portable radio we have reviewed.

An input for an MP3 player means you can also take full advantage of these stereo speakers by using it as a portable stereo speaker set.

This is an excellent radio and although on the expensive side for a portable, is very good value for money if you are looking for even better sound quality than a standard DAB portable radio.

Reviews

"The Pure One Elite makes for a good addition to the kitchen or the living room. Its build quality is demonstrated through its robustness, grip and its luxurious matt finish. It has everything you'd expect from a decent DAB"

"As a radio the Pure One Elite is great - we have a weak DAB signal and our Evoke 2 had to have an external aerial to get a decent signal, but the Elite finds a strong signal all over the house."

"The sound is obviously improved compared to The One Classic and it's nice and punchy and very clear. For under £65 this is excellent sound quality indeed - I bought a recharge pack with mine and on testing I got 30 hrs of continuous play from a fully charged C6L pack - I recommend this option - does away with the mains lead and ordinary batteries are way too expensive to keep replacing - I have to say though that just like The One Classic, the One Elite is a bit fiddly getting the charge-pak into the casing but persevere as it does work."

"Of course the great addition other than the extra speaker to The Pure One Elite is the Revu button with pause and rewind. Superb indeed as well as The Intellitext feature for news."

"I wondered if I would appreciate the difference between DAB and an "ordinary" radio but there really IS a major difference. This Pure Elite One is so easy to use straight from the box and gives outstanding reception quality and choice of stations. I am very pleased with my Christmas present."
