Pure UK Move R3 Rechargeable Personal Pocket FM/DAB+/DAB Digital Radio – Portable DAB Radio with Noise Isolating Headphones and 20 Station Pre-sets, White

Product Information

Built for the outdoors, and with a very easy-to-use OLED display, you’ll have no problem finding the channels that you love and saving them to your preset options. Additionally, you get the benefit of DAB technology, which automatically finds and lists the stations available in your area too. 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 Receivers such as DAB/DAB+ digital radios or digital radio alarms decode the signals and convert them into audio signals that can be played via loudspeakers. Compared to FM, DAB+ offers better sound quality, more programme diversity, less disturbances, and at the same time more options for interaction, as they can receive text, images or even videos in addition to sound. Internet radio - the future of sound Stable reception: Bluetooth radios with DAB+ technology offer stable quality, even if reception is weak, while FM radios often come with static noise.

Thankfully, even using plain-old DAB, most BBC radio stations sound very good. Spoken word stations such as BBC Radio 4 sound almost perfect. And while there was some audible digital degradation in music whilst listening to BBC 6 Music, it’s still an enjoyable listen. It’s quite simple: DAB+ radios allow you to receive all your preferred stations at the best possible quality and without any static noise. The advantages of DAB and DAB+ at a glance: Of the three, the 2500 can probably be discounted because it’s an old model and is no cheaper than the 2520 that supersedes it. The R3 is slightly more expensive (at the time of writing) but has an improved display, easier access to presets and a case that’s less likely to be scratched.

Upgraded the firmware on a Siesta Mi and a Siesta to permit a DAB+ upgrade. I've upgraded these before so had no problem with the actual process, although it can be a bit fiddly.

Unlimited number of stations: Reception of up to 30,000 stations and streaming providers from all over the world via DAB+ technology. I find the limits of the DAB signal more obvious through the Move R3 than a small Pure radio, but this is largely because you can get better sound quality through a pair of earphones. The Move R3 lets you tweak the sound slightly, too. There’s a handful of EQ presets, and a custom one that lets you tweak the bass and treble. None of them make an incredibly dramatic difference, but it’s a good way to boost or tame bass, or add a little clarity to your earphones’ output. Pure has released the Move R3, joining the Move 2520 in its personal DAB radio line-up. Personal digital radios are a great way to listen to music, news and sport on the move without eating into your smartphone’s data or battery life. When it come to features, the Pure Move R3 is a pretty straightforward tool. It’s not designed to be as complex and in-depth as your smartphone. You can’t browse the web on it or stream music via Bluetooth. However, you can connect to digital radio – and from a DAB portable device – what more do you want?And if that was not enough, the signal can transmit additional information such as artist, song title, album cover and even videos. 80% less energy consumption for improved signal reception is another advantage. This gadget allows you to listen to CDs and also receive DAB+ radio stations to give you a better choice of music and radio stations. The R3 was released in 2018 and has remarkably similar features to the 2500/2520, but with a more modern-looking design. The range of radio reception is the same (FM, DAB, DAB+) with supplied in-ear, noise-cancelling headphones acting as the aerial. Digital radios, also known as DAB+ (Digital Audio Broadcasting Plus), work by transmitting digital radio signals instead of analog signals, as is the case with traditional FM radios. In other words, radio stations transmit their programmes digitally.
