About this deal
Have the latest Audiolab offerings gone down in performance compared to other manufacturers latest advances? It leads to little discernable background detail, which is a shame given that when we plug in our headphones we can hear that the Evoke C-D6 is not incapable.
There’s something compelling about the Chronos II’s unique triangular shape and powerful dual speakers that makes us instantly want to own one permanently at the office. Compared to FM (Frequency Modulation) radios, DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) radios offer several advantages. The reduced, clear design with its compact measurements conceals lavish sound technology combined with ridiculously easy handling, allowing you to use your internet radio in your living room, your Bluetooth radio in the kitchen, and your very compact radio in the bathroom, while the radio alarm is ideal for the bedroom and the portable radio provides you with sound all around - in your own outdoors space or on the road. You can tap into your whole music collection without any restrictions – unless you happen to be addicted to vinyl and cassettes.
We like the top-loading CD player, and it comes with all the wireless extras you might want too, including Bluetooth, wifi, Chromecast and Apple AirPlay 2 support. The only real issue with the performance that we encountered was that the alarm functions were way too fiddly for our needs.
There’s more to the Tenor than just looks though—the radio has lots of features including internet radio which gives you a huge choice of things to listen to. It produces clear and detailed sound from its minimal design but does lack an optical or USB connection. The Pure Chronos CD Series II is a popular radio CD player that has a convenient triangular design, which allows it to fit neatly in the corner of a shelf or countertop.
This model is by far the most premium of the batch, delivering unparalleled audio quality, stand out design, and audio accuracy that’ll make any true audiophile a believer. Cyrus hasn’t put a foot wrong with its CD players for as long as we can remember; it would be fair to say that its track record has been phenomenal. As a bedside radio, the Pure Chronos Series 2 comes with four radio alarms, which you can set to weekends only, weekdays only, or as one-off alerts.
