Product Information

Although some Pure radios can be upgraded unfortunately many digital radios cannot be updated. This is often because of the hardware inside the radio. Finding the serial number The Alexa Sunrise feature will also gradually brighten the screen when it’s time for the alarm to go off, with a tap of the top of the Show 5 or a word with Alexa enough to snooze it for a bit. Smart.

Whether on your bedside table or in your kitchen (or carried frequently between the two), the Evoke H2 will instantly draw the eye of your visitors and finish off the aesthetic of your room. What’s more, although the Pure Evoke H2 radio is primarily powered by the mains, there is an option to use a separate ChargePAK battery system from Pure to transform your device into something more portable.Here’s everything that you need to know about the Pure Evoke H2. Pure Evoke H2 review: Design and build When you buy a radio described as a 'portable radio' with 'optional' battery power, you could well assume that the radio would give you the choice of battery power out of the box. But you'd likely be mistaken. One useful thing about the Pure Evoke H3 is that it comes with multiple alarm options, a sleep timer, and a kitchen timer. That means that you can just as easily use it in your bedroom, like the Pure Siesta Rise, or in your kitchen. If you’re willing to spend a bit more, Pure’s H3, H4 and H6 radios offer more features than the more basic H2. The H3 is very similar to the H2, but has a large colour screen and Bluetooth so you can stream music from your phone. The Pure Evoke H4 is like the H3, but with a horizontal design and a carrying handle, making it better as a portable radio. The Evoke H6 is the biggest and most expensive, with two speakers offering stereo sound.

For those in search of simplicity and style, the Evoke H2 is an attractive portable radio from Pure that comes with DAB and FM radio connectivity. A relatively basic radio set with iconic style, the perfectly portable Pure Evoke H2 is excellent for anyone who wants a simple, but future-ready DAB radio. For instance, if you’re upgrading to DAB radio for the first time and you don’t want to end up confused as you read through the Pure Evoke H2 manual, the simplicity of this device will come in handy. In terms of sound quality, Pure always seems to deliver above average quality, deep tones – particularly in the Evoke series, which is enhanced by the wooden casing on each product. A more high-end alternative for real audiophiles is the Ruark R1 MkIII. It’s one of the best-sounding DAB radios money can buy, but is significantly more expensive than the Pure Evoke H2. Proven quality, certified safety: PURE ChargePAK B1, 101A0, VL-61949, VL-61114 replacement batteries for up to 1000 charging cyclesAvailable in a wide range of colours and patterns, including Laura Ashley prints, could this be the star radio for your home? We reveal all the answers in our definitive VQ Hepburn Mk II review. We couldn’t quite figure out how to dim the display on the H3 though, which might be problematic for your bedroom. Pure Evoke H3 review: Performance Thorough, comprehensive testing – each battery cell is tested to ensure all safety requirements are met and that it holds and maintains the correct capacity - all before installation A more affordable alternative to the Pure Evoke H2 is the VQ Retro Mini, which also has a space-saving vertical design and lets you listen to FM or DAB/DAB+ radio. Unlike the H2, it comes with Bluetooth, despite being cheaper. However, it’s worth noting that this rather compact device is a little small when it comes to volume too. If you’re looking for something that will get your furniture vibrating – then this isn’t it. The Pure Evoke H3 can get loud enough – but it’s limited in volume.

We’re big fans of the Revo’s aesthetics: modern with a dash of retro. The 2.7in OLED display and aluminium front panel contrast nicely with the cabinet’s walnut veneer, feeling solid and well made. Looking for a retro-styled radio that's easy to carry around? The VQ Hepburn Mk II looks like a blast from the past, but is updated with modern features like Bluetooth so you can access audio and music streaming services like Spotify via your smartphone (may require subscriptions).The other radios in the new H version of the Pure Evoke range (H3, H4 and H6) do have noticeable differences to their older counterparts including new colour screens. This press release explains the differences, but doesn’t mention the H2. compatible replacement – PURE ChargePAK B1 alternative battery replaces your original PURE ChargePAK B1 / VL-61114 battery Alongside FM and DAB radio, hook the Revo up to your wi-fi network and you can access internet radio and music stored on local network drives, plus it features aptX Bluetooth for streaming from smartphones and tablets. Reliable performance – fewer charging breaks and less time spent waiting for your device to charge.
