 Pure Quality August 15, 2008
Like others, this is not my first DAB experience. I have had a portable in the house for 4 years, and have recently bought a superb one for the car.
This was bought to improve my home reception and portability.
At almost a quarter the size of my Goodmans DAB, this little unit is amazing.
First Autotune gives me 45 DAB stations. Small arial isn't too sensitve either. Sit this radio anywhere and it works. Have it upstairs and it also reaches even further.
10 presets on DAB and similar on FM. Tuning in each mode is very simple just from two menu buttons.
Sound isn't fantastic, this is a single low wattage speaker, but listen 40 hours on a single charge is superb. I use DAB mainly to listen to current afffairs and talk channels anyway, so more than adequate for the job.
USB port makes it constantly upgradable.
I'm delighted and can't believe how little I paid for it.
Well done Pure
 3 miles a day - come Rain, Shine or Hail July 31, 2008

Every morning - I get a wake up call from Caffrey my 90lb Staff/Lab cross - time for my walk me thinks is the general message.
So - up I get - put on clothing to suit the weather - anything from shorts to full storm gear and we make our way round the 3 miles that is a trip to the aerodrome and back .
Before I got this unit - I had various 'cheap' radio and CD players - all of which failed in very short time - then for some reason best known to himself - my husband bought me this as a Happy 21st May present - he's prone to random gifts but no point telling him not to :-)
The unit fits nicely in my various pockets - it's a doddle to set up and use - enough presets for my needs and a signal strength that is second to none - FM signals around here get kinda squishy
So - aside from the dog walking, this gets used for pottering in the garden, taken away on hols with a small set of external speakers and all manner of other things - latest was at Twikenham listening to R5L commentary as our beloved Wasps stuffed the Tigers ..
In a nutshell - I am totally into DAB - have three players at home (hubby just bought the Pure Highway and loves it) and this little beauty allows me to listen to Peter Humphries in pure stereo as he dismantles Gordon Brown's latest excuse for the loss in the South Natntwich Gorbles Scilly Isles By-election. Oh and in the evening - the archers sit out on the patio as I eat my tea.
If yr looking for a great portable unit with amazing sound this is the one for you - one tip - the head phones were a little bulky for my ears - but there are plenty of in ear bud type headphones from 10 up to as much as you want to allow you to change them.
Hope this helps .. I'm off to listen to the cricket ..
 BE WARNED!! July 21, 2008

Like a lot of people I have fallen for the hype about DAB Radio.....I have a Roberts for the home and the sound is great.So I thought I would purchase one of these as I do a lot of walking for my work (postman).
BE WARNED.......If you do not live in an erea with a good reception you may as well sing to yourself as they just do not pick up the signals and when you do manage to get an acceptable station, if you move around it comes on and off....Very frustratinggggggg

I got this as an xmas present off the wife and was hoping for so much. First build quality. The unit itself is made of metal but the buttons are made of cheap, tacky plastic. Surely it would not have added to the cost too much too use metal buttons too. Reception ain't that great either, you cam nudge it half an inch and the reception just goes. Not sure what they mean by personal but I would no recommend it as for music on the move. I use it to listen to foot ball while away from home and it sometimes cant even find radio 5. If Dab is the future, then lets stay in the present
 If only it was reliable! and Pure so very POOR. May 6, 2008

Yes it looks great, and it worked fairly well for a while, although recpetion is far from perfect, then.....
The LP37 chargepack failed(only 3 months old). OK said pure, we will send you another. They lied, and never did. Asked again. They said one would be sent as soon as one was in stock. A month later, no battery. This was despite having stock you could buy. Obviously they fail a LOT!
Do not trust the battery technology, its poor. As is the rubbish service you get from Pure. Its a case of got your money, now s*d off.
Worst most uncaring customer support ever. They refuse to answer emails or letters.
There are other DAB radios with more relaible technology, get one of them.
