I like listening to radio in bed before sleeping. At home I have a bedside dab radio, but bought this for my rather frequent weekend trips. It was delivered very quickly and immediately put on to charge overnight. I was amazed by how many stations it tuned to, we are in a fairly poor reception area but it pulled in more stations than our mains unit. It is simple to set your desired preset stations. Reception is clear and bright through the supplied headphones which act as the aerial. I also tried it with my single side headphone, for laying on your side, reception was just as good, but sound a little less sharp. The whole construction is plastic, but appears quite solid and the led display is clear, bright and gives quite a bit of chanel information. Controls are simple and intuitive.All round I would say this is an extremely good buy for anyone who does a bit of travelling and enjoys radio.

Having owned all three versions of Pure DAB Portable radios, I can say this is a bargain. The Colour scheme (Rose gold/white) is copies from the latest (discontinued) Pure DAB portable radio (Headphone jack gave up after 4 years daily use). I still use my metal pure portable DAB radio (7 years old). I do not expect this model to last more than 1 year given the plastic feel, however at this price you can not really complain. The only problem after a few weeks use, is an issue with the presets. I have only been able to preset 4 stations rather than the normal 10. Battery life seems good, with useful % countdown. Price vs functions vs expected durability means you can not go wrong at this price point. Should the device last more than a year then we are in bonus territory as this radio shall be in daily use.Edit.. I have now been able to preset 6 stations.. The Battery seems to run out around 40% charge, despite this you are still able to listen for several hours. Still worth buying ! for less than £30Additional edit..... Battery runs out at 46% ! You still get several hours worth of listening, Still a buy for under £30. Just keep an eye of the battery usage and charge before you reach 50%.Edit .....6 month review ...... Used everyday, no other issues have arisen, happy with radio, have today purchased a second unit as great value for less than £29.00Update... Used daily for 11 months, today the radio froze with display lit up. No buttons working and unable to turn off. I used a cotton needle to reset the radio, all working again now. very happy fix worked.

I bought this radio because it was very compact and had DAB+ which I needed in UK.Very easy to set up and nice headphones creating a quality sound for the size.Using another jack plug and lead it works in my car system no problem.Great for the price and I would have given 5 stars but the advertising was not correct. The unit only has 10 FM and 10 DAB memories but that will do me.Still like it a lot!

Just what I wanted, I am listening to a program on DAB I don’t want to miss the show, but with this pocket sized DAB/FM radio, you can listen to your shows on the bus, train or even walking. You can get loads of portable FM radios and I can get fm on my phone but not DAB, but with this brilliant product, it’s easy just tune in, put your headphones in and carry on listening to your Favourite DAB station, love DAB radio programmes. Great product , good price.

PROS:small, light, easy to use and store radio stations; good sound quality, comfortable headphones.CONS:1) signal is not too stable - if you sit/stand still then it is OK, but if you move around, or move the heaphones cable around, e,g. when adjusting its position in your clothing, the signal gets interrupted momentarily and crackles for a couple of second until it destabilises.2) BIGGEST PROBLEM: in their efforts, the designers of this radio did NOT put in the bit of circuitry that switches off the display, so the display is on ALL THE TIME. Contrast this with a mobile phone, the display of which switches off after a short period, to save battery use. The result for this radio is that the display sucks power out of the battery all the time that the radio is switched on, so it means the battery lasts about a day before it needs to be recharged. It's worse than modern mobile phone batteries that nowadays can last a couple of days of careful use! So it means you have to treat this radio as if it is like an older-style mobile phone, and charge it daily, to be sure it doesn't just cut out in the middle of your favourite programme because the battery has died.3) Related to 2): if you like to listen to the radio at night in bed, you need to put it under your pillow to prevent the display from lighting up the area where you are sleeping; this fact that the display is on all the time could be disturbing for you and maybe partners at night, if you like a dark room!!!VERDICT: overall the radio is very handy, but the signal instability and the constantly-lit display makes me wish I had not bought it. But I will continue to use it, now I have it, but I expect it will not last too long because the battery will be exhausted in a much shorter time than necessary. Therefore don't recommend to buy this, and instead look for a radio that states its display will switch off after, e.g. 30 seconds, to improve the battery life and your general life.ADDITIONAL POINTS:1) I mean "restabilises", not "destabilises" (autocorrect takes over!!)2) I found that it is possible to force the radio into mono mode rather than stereo mode, using the menu option button; this seems to solve the crackling problem, as long as you don't mind mono sound; no problem for speech.3) Need to also check battery usage in FM rather than DAB; I once had an older DAB radio that ate batteries, seemingly because of the DAB. I don't know if this battery life can be extended by using it on FM rather than DAB, but if you have unwittingly bought one of these radios, you could try to see if it makes a difference.4) If the manufacturers of this radio read this review and can fix the display so it switches off after 30 seconds, then I would be delighted to test it for you!Steve
