Pure Evoke H2 Portable FM/DAB+/DAB Digital Radio, DAB Radio with Alarms, 20 Pre-sets, AUX Input and Kitchen and Sleep Timer, Walnut

Product Information

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. 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. As far as I can tell, there’s no real difference between these models in terms of features, the H2 is just a newer version of the same product. It’s safe to assume that the H2 uses superior and updated technology within the radio itself to improve the sound quality and perhaps improve DAB reception. The Pure Evoke H3 is all about giving consumers the perfect combination of sound quality, easy-to-use features, and sensational style. We found the practical user interface very intuitive, which is nice if you’re looking for a radio that’s going to be suitable for a range of users.

Long service life at full power – PURE Evoke H3 ChargePak B1 battery uses Lithium cells without memory effect, retaining charge without power fluctuations. The H2 is the entry-level model in the updated range of Pure Evoke radios, so it’s a good choice if you’re looking for a quality radio at an affordable price. It’s also a good choice if you’re not a techie and don’t want something over-complicated. Similar radiosWhat’s more, the practical user interface and large scrolling wheel makes it much easier for listeners to use their radio – even if they’re new to DAB technology. We particularly liked the fact that you can see all the art from your albums on the Pure Evoke H3 screen when streaming via Bluetooth. Proven quality, certified safety: PURE ChargePAK B1, 101A0, VL-61949, VL-61114 replacement batteries for up to 1000 charging cycles I can’t receive Radio X on my Pure Evoke 1XT. Where do I apply for the free software available to upgrade my radio?

The compact design of the Pure Evoke H3 would make it an ideal option for those in search of portability – although there’s no carry handle included. Pure Evoke H3 review: Features The wooden casing allows for a much deeper quality of sound, although we missed the tactile tuning knobs present on other Evoke models. 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.

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. Evoke H4 can be powered by the supplied main adapter or with the optional ChargePAK F1. This ChargePAK will give you up to 50 hours of truly portable listening. What's in the box 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. Evoke H4 has a vibrant and informative 2.8” full colour TFT display. The large, ultra-clear screen makes accessing the growing number of digital radio stations a breeze. View your favourite station’s information and slideshow artwork in full colour. The manual for the Pure One doesn’t list a way to display the serial number. We’ve tried on our One Mi Series 2 and can only see the software version and the device identifier. If you still have the box for the radio the serial number may be displayed on the outside.

If you can’t find any programs that you want to listen to via the radio signals, then you can use the Bluetooth connectivity instead. The Evoke H3 will work as a wireless speaker with your tablet, smartphone, or laptop, showing your album artwork on the colour display as it plays.

Cons

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 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.
