Mark, Swindon

Score 10.0/10

+ Excellent sound (doesn't matter that it's mono). Good battery life for a portable DAB. Feels very well built. Although it's only got 4 presets, it has a 'favourite' list which remembers the last 10 listened to stations. Good rteception. Good technical back up.

- A little heavy, but has overall feeling of being well built, so I can live with that.

Score 10.0/10

+ After seeing my daughter-in-laws DAB radio Pure Oasis, I purchased one for my husband's birthday. He was forever getting his feet caught in the lead of my DAB radio which had to be plugged in. He loves to listen to the criket and moves the radio about the house easily or out in the garden. My sister saw our Oasis and she purchased one too!

- None at present

+ Fantastic durable product. We camp alot and it is perfect for that.
We camped over Christmas in a Forest and the reception was amazing.

- Aerial. Although the radio can withstand wear and tear and i not sure that the protuding aerial will. It looks that if the radio was accidently knocked off a table the aerial would break. Could be wrong but that is the impression i get.

The battery life between re-charges is excellent. The ability to plug in my MP3 player means I can listen to what I want, where I want. Highly recommended.

+ Its a good looking, easy to use and durable piece of kit. Nice touch that you can plug your mp3 player in (cable not included). Great sound quality, the bass from the single speaker is brilliant. The reception I get is good even though the siginal my my area is not supposed to be great.

- The display is a little hard to read unless you get up close. The battery won't charge unless its warm! I had to put mine in the airing cupboard for a while in the winter to get it to charge. An FM tuner as well would have been a good idea.

Expert reviews for Pure Oasis

TechRadar expert review

Top quality gear also comes at a price. In the case of Pure Digital's latest DAB radio, the Oasis, it's got nothing to do with money. Claiming to be waterproof, Pure's other suggestion that the Oasis is portable may be true, but personally we wouldn't want to lug this heavyweight around for too long. At least its rugged carry handle is up to the job of supporting the Oasis' bulk. Superbly built, its portability may be a moot point, but of most interest is its rechargeability. Simply plug the Oasis into the mains for a few hours and you'll get around 15 hours of DAB radio playback.…
