Product Information

Pure have been in the radio business for as long as I can remember. They were on the shelves when I worked my part time retail job during college around 15 years ago and they were very popular due to their decent build quality and audio performance. And that still holds true today. We’re taking a look at the Pure Elan Connect+ and first impressions are great! The reduced, clear design with its compact measurements conceals lavish sound technology combined with ridiculously easy handling, allowing you to use your internet radio in your living room, your Bluetooth radio in the kitchen, and your very compact radio in the bathroom, while the radio alarm is ideal for the bedroom and the portable radio provides you with sound all around - in your own outdoors space or on the road. No cable required: Your favourite tunes wherever you want them Stable reception: Bluetooth radios with DAB+ technology offer stable quality, even if reception is weak, while FM radios often come with static noise. The more efficient use of available frequencies is another important feature of DAB+. The utilisation of data compression technologies allows for the transmission of several radio stations via a single frequency. DAB+ digital radio brings you a diverse range of great content in highly-detailed, digital-quality sound; much of which is only available on digital radio. Elan Connect+ automatically finds all available digital stations in your area for an easy listening experience, plus there’s FM radio for any station that has not yet gone digital. World radio

A practical button layout and large vibrant display makes operating Elan DAB+ a pleasurable experience. Browsing menus, selecting stations and adjusting settings is simple and intuitive. For around the home Reception of DAB and FM radio stations is comparable to other portable radios we have tested. The radio struggled to receive Times Radio in our location, but this is the same with radios we’ve tested from Roberts and Sony. Sometimes FM stations can sound distorted as it attempts to receive the station in stereo. An option in the menu allows for ‘forced mono’ which may help with weaker stations. Digital radio station list on the Pure Elan One Note that there is a home button, but it merely takes you to the hub screen for the source you’re already on. You have to hit the source button to reach the ‘real’ home screen that hosts four icons: internet radio (a globe), DAB (the DAB logo), FM radio (an image of a small radio) or Bluetooth (the Bluetooth logo).An internet radio allows you to receive and listen to an unlimited number of online radio programmes. If receiving the preferred station via FM radio is difficult, and it is available online, an internet radio is a good choice. Which types of devices are there? 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. A potential downside of the display is that the text is much smaller than on some other Pure radios and the similarly priced Roberts Play 10. Although the display is bright and the text is clear some users may still prefer larger text with less information. Our verdict on the Pure Elan One

Smart internet radios: These devices are connected to the internet and offer additional features like the option to access streaming services, to control smart home devices or access devices via voice control. Pure premium internet radio spreads outstanding sound and good mood wherever you need the one or the other. You might want to fall asleep to your favourite tunes, start your day with a pot of coffee and a podcast or put on some kitchen swagger. You might also want to keep up to date with what’s going on in the world. With Pure radio, you can do it all. Public service and private stations: Access to a wide range of public service and private stations. Stereo reproduction appeared to be accurate on FM, DAB and with Bluetooth, even though the radio has a single speaker. Not all DAB radio stations are broadcast in stereo and this would explain why some stations are still in mono when using headphones.Compact internet radios: These devices are small and space-saving, and they are ideal for the kitchen or bedroom. They are also referred to as table radios, kitchen radios or radio alarms.
