A no-frills digital radio that punches well above its weight
If you were first among your friends to buy a digital radio, we’ve got some bad news: the latest DAB model from Pure Digital costs under £50. What’s more, it’s really rather good.
Forget about the wooden casing or retro styling of models such as the Pure Digital Evoke-3; the One is a singularly no-frills affair in a choice of white, fuchsia pink and TalkSport-branded black plastic casing.
It has only one speaker and there’s no Pure Digital ‘Revu’ feature to pause and rewind live radio. There’s no DAB electronic programme guide, nor the ability to set up a personal schedule. But because of its simplicity, this is one of the easiest to use digital radios we’ve come across.
The main functions of the radio are controlled using the large dial on the front of the unit with clearly-labelled buttons such as Volume or Stations sitting alongside to change between functions.
