If you want a sturdy, no-nonsense machine for tuning to DAB and FM radio, plenty of empty presets and a design you'll be proud to show off, the PURE Digital Evoke Mio is probably what you're after. Its performance is spot-on, it's easy to use and its chunky case could probably take a few knocks if you plan on carting it about the house Read full review |
The PURE Digital Evoke Flow makes listening to online radio easy, and it looks good, too. By integrating a search engine and supplementing the Evoke Flow with an online portal, PURE has delivered the iPod of Web-connected radios. It's a device that makes online radio not only usable, but accessible and fun. We highly recommended it Read full review |
By focusing on a radio's core features, Tivoli has, in the Model DAB, produced a device that sounds great and is a joy to use. It's effortlessly stylish, and the buttons, switches and dials are a tactile delight. It isn't cheap, but this is a quality radio that could well outlast your local station's licence Read full review |
