DAB Sound Quality coupled with stereo speakers, mains and battery powered.
Big, heavy, battery life, only six presets
Overall I have to say that I am very happy with my Pure Evoke 2. I had considered buying an Evoke 1 but the thing that put me off was they are only mains powered and I wanted a portable radio that was truly portable so I decided to wait for the Evoke 2.
The DAB sound quality is fantastic, I tend to listen to some stations that are only available on Medium Wave and the sound quality with DAB is perfect, no distortion even at full volume and this radio is really loud! Even when compared to the FM band also provided DAB is noticeably clearer and of course comes without the FM 'hiss'.
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 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.
These bad points aside, this is still a great radio which I would recommend to anyone.
