Score 9.0/10+ Easy to set and use
- White text on a light blue background is difficult to read. Older people like myself will have to put on glasses to see the time.

Design/styling is great.
Audio tone is sharp and clear.
-
Station presets would be very helpful.
Electronic volume controls could be more sensitive to adjustment.
Product seems a little pricey when compared with other brands.
Auto dimming display would be an advantage.

The design is great for fitting into the bedroom. The clarity of the DAB reception much better than the analogue equivalent. The really neat addition is the ability to have alarms set for only weekdays!
It was extremely easy to setup and begin using.
-
The biggest negative is the amount of light genereated from the LCD display at night, even on the lowest setting for the Dimmer switch, the unit still illuminated the room!
For a bed side clock radio this seems a major oversight by the design team.

Score 7.0/10+ Very good sound quality; easy to find, search and store stations.
- Display could be better: bright setting is too bright for bedroom at nighttime, but dim setting is quite difficult to read.

Easy to set up.
Easy to use.
Good Alarm settings, i use one alarm all week which switches itself off at the weekend.
Alarms can be programmed according to a date a time.
-
Display is either to bright or too dark, an inbetween setting would be better.
Font is unclear on some settings.

mark, hertfordshire
Score 3.0/10+ good sound - good looks
- you cant turn down the brightness of the display further than high to low......even on low it shines like a beacon in the dark room. also the alarm setting is fiddly......especially if you want to do something like switch it off before it has gone off so as not to wake up the other half

Expert reviews for Pure Digital Chronos
TechRadar expert review
This DAB radio has been around for a while, but Pure does it again in the style stakes. Although we've a soft spot for the retro-elegance of the Tangent, the Chronos's sleek lines and unusual triangular shape make this radio easy on the eye.Connectivity is minimal, with just a headphone socket, but its setup is hard to beat. Get the radio out of the box, unravel the aerial, plug in the power and off you go. The scrolling text of the display shows additional data such as song titles, performers' names, news headlines and so on; user-friendly and informative. The display shows the date…
