Product Information

The benefit of a small TFT display over a traditional LCD display is that you can see more information at once. Stable reception: Bluetooth radios with DAB+ technology offer stable quality, even if reception is weak, while FM radios often come with static noise.

It’s possible to go back and scan through all available podcasts while you continue to listen – although there’s only space for five titles to be listed simultaneously on the small screen, with only enough room for about 28 characters. After tweaking the bass and treble, and leaving the Loudness turned off, it’s possible to get a more subtle sound for pop and rock music. Whether you need the right sound to wake up to in the morning or you want to listen to a playlist of your favourite tunes on Spotify or Apple Music over and over again - no problem if you use Bluetooth to connect your smartphone to a Pure radio / speaker! The Pure Elan Connect+ is a utilitarian kind of product; it’s affordable, does the basics and looks inoffensive.We rate sound quality using a professional panel of five expert listeners with a range of ages and musical tastes.

The Pure Elan Connect can stream from a smartphone, computer or laptop via Bluetooth 5, which works fine on a basic level. Elan Connect+ can be used as a stereo wireless speaker with your laptop, smartphone or tablet devices. With the Elan Connects Bluetooth you can use as your personal wireless speaker and stream from any app to enjoy high-quality digital sound. Compared to other budget radios the less shiny plastic finish makes it feel like a more premium product. From the various Internet radio stations I tried, I found that they were either being broadcast in AAC or MP3 quality at around 44.It’s the same as the Roberts Play 10 and less than Sony’s cheapest DAB radio, neither of which have Bluetooth connectivity. Furthermore, internet radio is a good idea for people who travel a lot or cherish flexibility as it is independent from local or regional reception and can be used wherever there is an internet connection. But the real advantage of web radio is access to podcasts, which the Pure Elan Connect presents in a simple file structure.

There was no 3-pin plug in the box which was a shame, so make sure you have a spare one laying around if you want to mains power it. We are TechNuovo, a bunch of guys bringing you the latest Consumer Tech Reviews and Tech News from around the globe. A larger full colour screen, a rotary knob for the volume and battery and mains power options are all useful updates. Truly versatile, with the option of being powered by USB or battery, Elan DAB+ can be enjoyed anywhere in or out of the home. When adjusting the volume of the radio or changing radio stations sometimes a sound can be heard through the headphones.

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. This means programme information, such as the name and artist of the current song, can be seen at a glance rather than waiting for it to scroll across.

DAB+ digital radios have been developed in Europe since the late 1980s and introduced from the early 90s. Sure, it’s a tad old fashioned – we’d have preferred a more up-to-date USB-C slot – but it cuts down on hardware.Perhaps the clearest sound comes via Bluetooth streaming, which was a surprise (it’s so often the low point of DAB radios attempting to also be streaming devices). Allerdings liest man es bei der geringen Größe ohnehin kaum ab wenn man das Gerät nicht auch in Griffweite hat. The six buttons surrounding the knob read: Home, Source, being DAB, FM or Internet radio, Back, Play/pause and skip tracks on the right-hand side.
