Pure Evoke-2XT review | What Hi-Fi?

The down points are its overall size and weight which are considerable for a portable radio. The DAB stations are very easy to tune but even so it would be nice to have more then six presets. The biggest problem for me is one of the reasons I bought the radio in the first place, battery life.

I also like the fact that there is a headphone output on the radio so that I can listen with these at night. I decided it would be a wise investment to buy some rechargeable batteries and on a full charge they will last between 8 and 10 hours.

I found it did this when it was stormy and very overcast, the level would drop below 50 even down to 20 odd on occassions. Since then its never happened, levels now always above 90% (they may have boostered it a bit) and we now have more channels. I live in the stix. My only real concern is the F.M. performance, it is far below average, and sounds hissy on most stations!. I don't know if this is normal for this radio, or if mine has not been tuned properly in the factory. The power cuts out when using mains or batteries - it switches on and off a couple of times and then will not work at all - completely dead.I am very pleased with my Pure Evoke 2. I have owned it for between 1 and a half to 2 years. I couldn't decide for a while whether to get the Pure Evoke 1 or this one. I decided to get the Evoke 2 because of the fact it also had FM Reception on it so I could also listen to some good local stations that were not yet on DAB.

You can turn the volume right up without distortion, the tone can easily be adjusted as each channel does perform a bit differently, the overall sound quality and style of the radio are superb! There is an optical output and you can attach an external aerial which is a great feature. There's also a dedicated input for an iPod or other MP3 player. The more eco-minded among you will also be pleased to learn it's part of Pure's EcoPlus range.I also like the Evoke 2 because it is mains and battery powered so I can easily move it around the house without moving lots of wires with it. This is the latest incarnation of Pure's bigger, stereo table-top radio, and frankly, it's a beauty.

Pure Evoke-2S review | TechRadar

It has ‘ReVu' – so you can pause and rewind live radio, as well as useful alarm and sleep timer functions. The thing is is the warranty runs from when I originally bought the first unit and for the second unit to only last 5 mins is ridiculous - literally. The Pure Evoke 2 was the first of three DAB radios I bought (one for home, one for the car and one for personal use). I bought if specifically to plug into my Hi Fi amp and use it as a tuner.Please note, if you have a very early model of the device listed above, a DAB+ update will not be possible due to the age. You can control the speaker with the included remote control. (Image credit: TechRadar) Pure Evoke Home: audio performance We found this radio particularly successful with BBC Radio 3 on digital, the uncompressed sound coming across cleanly and pleasantly, while the high-frequency 'warbling' that tends to characterise DAB sound through true hi-fi equipment is much less noticeable when played through a table radio. Radio 4 also did well, as did some lighter-textured varieties of popular music broadcast on Radio 2. The only problem with the Pure Evoke 2 is that the batteries don't last too long. It would be more wise to either buy Rechargeable Batteries or just use the mains. The Evoke 2 uses 6 C Size Batteries. weird ****. it did this again with a new radio but we switched it off before it blew, put duracells in and it seemed to work with no problems.
