Pure One: world’s cheapest internet-connected radio arrives

DAB radio dons Pure have slammed down the fifth member of the One family, christened it the Pure One Flow, and promised hot web connectivity at a fairly modest price.

DAB radio dons Pure have slammed down the fifth member of the One family, christened it the Pure One Flow, and promised hot web connectivity at a fairly modest price.

PURE – who proudly bill themselves as the world’s leading radio maker – have whisked out the Élan II portable DAB radio in time for the Christmas rush.
Priced at a penny under a ton, the Élan II boasts DAB/ DAB+* and a FM radio with the fantastic ReVu technology letting you pause and rewind live DAB radio.
Frustrated with trying to navigate the screechy old-school tuning dial on our antique bedroom analogue clock radio, we thought we’d splash out and move into the DAB age with the PURE Digital Siesta.

Served up in a curved triangular form factor, the Siesta offers a full range of alarms, plus DAB and FM RDS radios.
Pure hope that the radio will help you sleep a little bit sounder knowing that you’re doing your little bit for the planet with the Siesta burning up just 1W power consumption when in standby – ten times less than the average energy guzzling portable.
The radio’s packaging is also pleasingly minimal, with much use of good ol’ cardboard.
Seemingly created from a design brief that went along the lines of, “make a radio and shove every new technology you can find at it… and then make it look like it’s escaped from the set of 2001,” Pure’s sensational new Sensia radio packs a large touchscreen, Wi-Fi radio and a whole lot more besides.

Packed in a, err, retro-futuristic curved case, the Sensia is a DAB, FM and streaming Wi-Fi radio, with two internal 3″ drive units delivering 15 RMS per channel (30W RMS total).
