About this deal

A practical button layout and large vibrant display makes operating Elan One a pleasurable experience. You can scroll down lists of podcasts and episode titles, for which the display is just about large enough. We live with these radios in our homes to make sure that the performances are consistent, and we don't finalize our testing until we are certain of the sound quality. But we promise the ones you get will sound great and you can listen to them from anywhere – you don’t need an internet connection for digital streams.

This combined with the simple and clean button layout makes navigating through Elan Connect a breeze. The larger display also makes it easier to browse radio stations as seven can be shown at a time as a list. This works well but if you forget to press the Stations button first you’ll find yourself changing the volume. Sadly, it doesn't feature a handle, but at 109 x 85 x 187mm, it’s easy enough to move around the home.It’s also a design win, with a stylishly different orange backlight and a subtle fold-out flip-stand to keep it stable on surfaces. Music sounds a little bass heavy and when tuned into Heart on DAB digital radio the bass can be too imposing and the vocals sound a bit dull.

Pure offers a wide range of DAB/DAB+ radios with Bluetooth and portable radios with integrated or external battery operation and colour display. An auto-dimming OLED display and rotodial controls make it easy to use, while support for Bluetooth and USB sources make it pretty flexible when it comes to music playback.Our mission is to create human experiences in a technology-driven world, building on our illustrious history as radio pioneers. The provided USB lead is slightly short and a longer one may be required if the radio won’t be particularly close to a power socket. In our review we’ll look at setting up the radio, how it sounds, the radio and Bluetooth modes and how easy it is to use.

From a design perspective, the first thing you’re likely to notice about the Pure Elan E3 portable DAB+/FM radio, is its crystal-clear colour display. A larger full colour screen, a rotary knob for the volume and battery and mains power options are all useful updates. On the positive side, this means it’s extremely lightweight at 438g – although the four AA batteries you’ll need to make it portable will increase its bulk. With access to more than 25,000 internet radio stations from around the world, there will always be something that suits your mood.It doesn’t have the audio capabilities to pump out refined and/or powerful tunes; we’re talking voice radio and background music here. And as if that was not enough, DAB/DAB+ devices are substantially more energy efficient while also offering much more variety in terms of stations (radio programmes) than classic FM receivers.
