Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Pure PocketDAB 1500 Personal Rechargeable DAB/FM Digital Radio Comment: I bought this portable dab radio for use whilst walking and cycling, ie for outside pursuits.So I can only vouch for the performance of this device as my main use was as above. The clarity and reception of dab radio is superb with no crackling or hiss from normal FM radio, how ever this radio does not like concrete ie subways and the like. Indoors can be a problem as there can be a problem with reception as the ear phone is the aerial , this wasn`t a dissapointment as this radio is portable and in my eyes designed for out door use which suits my needs perfectly. In short I can`t understand all the negative reviews in relation to reception etc I live in London so reception is not a problem. I would recommend this device to any one using it for outdoor pursuits but it is equally as good for work or indoors as long as you keep the ear phones taut. Overall I am pleased with my purchase Customer Rating: Summary: Great for the communte Comment: I bought this for my commute from Brighton to London and I find it perfect for the journey. Yes there is the occasional drop-out (in tunnels and also at some stations). Occasionally I'll need to switch it to FM where the DAB signal is weak, but for a vast majority of the journey it is absolutely fine, and the battery lasts ages, it is very light and the aluminum body gives me piece of mind that it won't be broken by being knocked about in my lap-top bag. Highly recommended. Customer Rating: Summary: Don't believe the (bad) hype! Comment: Having done extensive research about DAB radio and wanting a portable one to take to football matches I went for this radio from Pure. All the bad reviews seem to focus on the poor reception. If you check out before you buy, the areas you live or work etc. you can then make a judgement whether it's worth buying. I did and all areas I use the radio in were listed as "should have reasonable reception" whilst this didn't fill me with confidence I can say that the reception is great in these areas. Sometime you lose signal a bit when travelling but this is when you are going in and out of signal areas. I have never yet had no signal at all. I would recommend this radio especially for the battery life, a common DAB problem is that it drinks the batteries and therefore it is great to have a rechargeable pack with this radio, it charges in a couple of hours tops and last for 5-6 hours. Expensive at £70 odd but well worth the extra money for the rechargeable pack and the size (it will fit in most pockets no problem). Customer Rating: Summary: On /off no work Comment: Initially thought this radio was the biz. Good reception and good recharging. Six months in and the on/off stopped working. It just gave up the ghost. The radio lies redundant in a drawer and I am hacked off as I miss it, particularly when I walk home from work. Customer Rating: Summary: Pure Quality Comment: 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 More Reviews
