 Regret not buying this sooner!!!! January 20, 2008

I think just about everything has been written about what this radio is capable of. My advice is buy it, shop around for the best price obviously, presently around 160. For goodness sake don't worry about DAB + compatibility ( its a few years away ) Just buy it and enjoy the truely amazing sound this produces. I guarantee you will fall in love with this remarkable piece of technology.
PS I was thinking of writing 4 or 5 paragraphs of pro and cons, but its all been done. I'm a DAB freek ! Heard and played around with loads of kit including radios in the Pure range, but presently this is overall the best DAB you can buy.
 Great Radio, but no support for DAB+ January 6, 2008

This is a great sounding radio and it is extremely well specified, but it is not future compatible. Like most current DAB radios does not support the forthcoming DAB+ standard. In other words, it will be obsolete in around 5 years (the only model that currently supports DAB+ is the Cronos II). All manufacturers seem keen to keep this information hidden, for obvious reasons.
Although the Evoke 3 can record programmes to an SD card, the file format is Mp2, the native for digital radio. Unfortunately, virtually no Mp3 players and the iPod do not support Mp2 and you need to convert the files to listen to them on these devices, not a problems but something to be aware of.
Well worth purchasing if you can live with the above.
Rubbish December 3, 2007

Good things - sounds ok and you can record on it.
Bad things - the controls are slow and frustrating and totally illogical. It's slow - it will take ages to catch up with what you want it to do and then it gets confused. Mine keeps freezing on me and the manual of course doesn't tell you how to reset. Oh and the best thing is that the clock on it is wrong but I can't change it - so when I try to record using timed event it will miss the first couple of minutes. Pure have told me to amend the timed event e.g. for a programme starting at 12 set the time for 11.58!!
 Great Sound but quite a danger when using the chargepak! July 29, 2007

I have had two of these radios, the first one went back because of a fault with the connections.
- The radio worked fine when on mains, but when i switched to battery (to make it portable), it died and the only way to get it working again would be to remove all batteries or the chargepak, plug it back into mains and then replace the batteries.Not very portable.
- The radio itself is really good, sound quality is great and the use of the SD card facility is a masterpiece,
- but...when my second radio came exactly the same thing occurred. Then to add to that I plugged it in one day and the chargepak skin melted, the spring connection from the battery to the radio became hot and melted away from the frame resulting in a smoke filled room and a panic on my behalf.
- The radio went straight back and has been replacd by something a little safer.
The Future of DAB July 2, 2007

I'd previously bought and returned three DAB radios which were either too bright or too loud when on standby, the Evoke 3 has neither of these problems. The major bonus however is the additional control this radio give you, not only can you stop, pause and rewind programmes you can also view and record future programmes with the easy to use guide, so for example I'll be able to listen to Radio5 live football when I choose. Surely this is future of Digital Radio.
