Pure Digital EVOKE-1 XT

I got this radio for Christmas though i actually got it in Maple wood not cherry as i prefered the lighter colour but its essentially the same radio! I had wanted a digital radio for a while as I only had a rubbish radio on my equally rubbish cd player. I decided to get rid of the cd player (thought i haven't yet) to save space and just have a digital radio with an ipod input to play my music on. My parents bought me the radio but I helped them look for the best price and we got it for £69.99 in the end from Amazon - this has now gone up in price on Amazon to £79 i believe and the rrp is £99 so got a bit of a bargain. The raidio looks ...  Read the complete review

I am a massive fan of Pure digital radios. I have never had a problem with one and they last well, pumping out excellent quality year after year. My first digital radio was an Evoke 1. It was simple, easy to use and never went wrong. It was a bargain as well in a Boots' sale for £50 - and that was when it was still top of the range. Not sure what Boots were thinking but I was happy!! Anyway, I never looked at the manual, just plugged it in, switched it on, twisted a few knobs and had great quality radio. We upgraded to an Evoke 1XT when a friend wanted a digital radio and couldn't afford one. We figured they could have our Evoke and we'd ...  Read the complete review

This radio maintains the high standards that I have come to expect from Pure - excellent sound quality, stylish design and easy to use. The radio itself feels and looks like an expensive and well designed item. It is really nice to have the lovely wood casing. The sound quality is really good - it does not distort even when it is turned up very high. I did consider getting the more expensive model with two speakers, but I don't regret going for one speaker as it is more than enough for my needs. It is very easy to tune in to every radio station, and equally easy to set the alarm. I have not connected it to my ipod yet, and I don't really think that I would use ...  Read the complete review

Although the 1XT has been around for a few years now, it is still in an excellent little DAB digital radio. I have the cherry red version, which looks great - very modern. The LCD screen is clear to read, looks great and bright, and is adjustable too. Setup is as easy as turning on and pressing autotune. The reception of this unit is also very impressive - I've used it in several homes where DAB reception was weak, and picked up all the stations I expected, and many more. Operation of the radio is easy, with the jog dial system to get through menus and station lists. Sound quality is great, especially considering the speaker size. There's also a line out port for ...  Read the complete review

This sits in my kitchen. I have in the maple finish as I preferred that colour and I just love everything about it! I was a little worried looking at some of the DAB radios that were about as they look very clumpy and seem to be designed to look 'old'! Wasn't my thing and so when I found this I was chuffed. It looks sleek and the maple finish casing looks lovely in the kitchen! Ties in with the steel and wood that I have on the kettle and surfaces etc. The DAB functions are good, automatically finding stations and the time and date for you etc. The sound quality is more than sufficient for a portable radio. The display is clear and it will display what song is ...  Read the complete review
