We loved how intuitive and user-friendly this device was and appreciated the fact that we could listen to music using a variety of different connection options. The Pure Elan Connect+ isn’t going to win any awards for its design. It’s far from ugly, but compared to the faux leather and wood panelling that features in the design of rival DABs, the Stone Grey (an off-white) or Charcoal-coloured plastic chassis is utilitarian.

Pure - we are experts for stylishly designed and simple to use music systems. Whether that’s an internet radio with incorporated DAB and DAB+ technology or an outdoor or smart speaker. With our range of award-winning audio products we are amongst the leaders for digital radios globally. Pure offers a wide range of DAB/DAB+ radios with Bluetooth and portable radios with integrated or external battery operation and colour display. Maybe its small buttons will trouble some users, but for fans of talk radio the Sony XDR-P1 is hard to beat on clarity and volume. We selected DAB and it immediately tuned-in dozens of stations, presenting them in a linear list that was easy to scan through. Each channel features a colourful display that shows an icon and scrolling text, although the text is reduced to a size where most of it can be presented at once. Elan DAB+ has a vivid and informative 2.4” full colour TFT display. The vibrant screen makes accessing the growing number of digital radio stations a breeze. View your favourite station’s information and slideshow artwork in full colour. Simple to use

Internet radio - the future of sound

DAB+ digital radio brings you a diverse range of great content in highly-detailed, digital-quality sound; much of which is only available on digital radio. Elan One automatically finds all available digital stations in your area for an easy listening experience, plus there’s FM radio for any station that has not yet gone digital. While some of the Pure radios on the market are a little pricier – you do get what you pay for. Take a look at the Pure Avalon N5 for instance – one of the most compelling digital radios available. Today, we’re going to be looking at a slightly smaller and more affordable item in the Pure portfolio – the Elan BT3. The 2.4″ TFT colour display has a resolution of 320×240 and in digital radio mode shows the name of the station and programme information, the time and signal strength. Tuning into Classic FM in the FM mode That comes with advantages, however – not least a 643g weight (around 770g, if you insert the four AA batteries to make it portable). We also liked its unusually small depth; measuring 115 x 82 x 247mm, it’s far less dominating on a kitchen workshop than some rival DABs. When it comes to sound performance, the Pure Elan BT3 radio has plenty to offer in that regard too. The device comes with a tailor-made 3-inch speaker that’s powered by a digital amplifier.

Simply connect your smartphone, laptop or tablet devices to Elan DAB+ to use as your personal wireless speaker. Stream your favourite playlists from any app in high-quality digital sound. Great sound DAB+ digital radio brings you a diverse range of great content in highly-detailed, digital-quality sound; much of which is only available on digital radio. Elan DAB+ automatically finds all available digital stations in your area for an easy listening experience, plus there’s FM radio for any station that has not yet gone digital. What makes the Pure Siesta Charge stand out is – you guessed it – its charging capabilities. If your smartphone or phablet is compatible with Qi wireless charging, you’ll be able to leave it on top of this DAB radio as it fills up your battery.As of December 2020 the Pure Elan One is the cheapest digital radio we can find from the brand. Sound quality from the Pure Elan One The single line display with large characters, an included mains adapter and simple operation make this an ideal radio for many users. Not everyone will want or need displays with lots of information or Bluetooth connectivity. Batteries can be inserted at the rear of the radio Okay, so the Pure Elan Portable DAB radio looks great – and it’s lightweight enough to use in any room of the house too. But, what can we expect when it comes to features? DAB/DAB+ radio is the broadcasting and reception technology of the future. The quality of the signal and, as a consequence, of the music received, is significantly better than that of FM radios. Even though DAB/DAB+ radios work without long antennae, their signal is much more stable and easier to receive. Elan One is the practical and contemporary radio from Pure, with DAB+ and FM allowing you to listen to all your favourite radio stations in crystal-clear quality. The vibrant colour display and simple controls makes accessing stations and using Elan One a joyful experience. Truly versatile, with the option of being powered by USB or battery, Elan One can be enjoyed anywhere in or out of the home.
