When adjusting the volume of the radio or changing radio stations sometimes a sound can be heard through the headphones. This seems to occur in time with the change of information on the display. It’s disappointing to find this on the radio and whether it bothers you could depend on your own listening experience. User interface If you have one of the following models or if your radio is showing 'For upgrades, visit pure.com', you may need to upgrade your radio for DAB+ support.

There are internet radios with the ability to receive both DAB+ and FM radio. All you need to do in such a case is establish an internet connection. Internet radios with Bluetooth functionality can also be connected to a smartphone to play music from different apps like Apple Music or Spotify. DAB and DAB+ radios with Bluetooth by Pure Compared to FM (Frequency Modulation) radios, DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) radios offer several advantages. DAB+ digital radios have been developed and launched in Europe from the late 1980s. They transmit radio signals digitally, resulting in better sound quality. In addition, DAB radios offer an extended choice of content, as more radio stations (radio programmes) can be transmitted on a single frequency. DAB radios are less prone to failure and come with less static noise than FM radios. At the same time they offer more options for interaction, as they can receive text, images or even videos in addition to sound.

Stereo reproduction appeared to be accurate on FM, DAB and with Bluetooth, even though the radio has a single speaker. Not all DAB radio stations are broadcast in stereo and this would explain why some stations are still in mono when using headphones. However, I respect that Pure are giving customers redemption vouchers for those with obsolete receivers. The radio has a single 2.5″ full range driver and the specifications give the output as 3 Watts. At full volume the radio fills a kitchen and can still be heard over a kettle or cooking without the sound distorting. We’ve by asked by one visitor what the timer facilities on the Pure One are. The Pure One has a Kitchen Timer, which allows setting of a countdown timer (settable countdown time from 23 hrs 59mins), at the end of which an alarm will sound. It also has a Sleep timer, meaning that the radio can be set to switch off after 15, 30, 45 60 or 90 minutes.

Both DAB and DAB+ are digital radio transmission standards, with the difference being the technology used. DAB uses older technology and has less power than DAB+. With increased power, DAB+ provides better sound quality and an extended choice of radio stations, which is why DAB+ is viewed as more future-proof and is replacing DAB in an increasing number of countries. How to receive digital radio like DAB, DAB+ radio If you're still using an analogue FM radio, it might be time to switch over to a digital radio instead. That's because DAB radios offer a wider range of stations to choose from and the sound tends to be crisper as there's less disturbance. I can't really comment yet on durability, but it fits, charges up using the standard charger and delivers good performance for half the cost of the Pure article.
