Pure Evoke Spot DAB+/FM/Internet Radio Wi-Fi Bluetooth Compact Hi-Fi System, Cotton White, 476399

Kitchen radios aren't something you buy that often. Our old one gave up the ghost after 15 years. So I wanted something that would be a radio and a bluetooth speaker - I was always slightly irritated by having a speaker sat on top of the radio. Following extensive research, this seemed to be the best compromise. And it's very good. Firstly, it's small. It doesn't take up much counter space. Secondly, I like how it looks. Radios are a rare example where retro stylings are still the thing. Most radios look like my gran's radio did. This one doesn't. My wife and I both like how it looks, but my teenage daughter hates it. Set up is a doddle. There is a small flip up screen that lets you choose mode and navigate and set favourites. You can use as Bluetooth speaker, but it's also got Spotify Connect, which is BRILLIANT. The most common cry in our house used to be "CAN YOU DISCONNECT FROM THE KITCHEN SPEAKER?" With Spotify Connect the person who's nearby can just use it. That works really, really well. That said, the bluetooth reception is also very good. Some other radios reportedly sound worse with connected via Bluetooth - this does that very well. The sound is good too. It's perhaps a little bit bass heavy, but we have an open plan kitchen diner, and it easily fills the space with good quality sound. There's no distortion at higher volumes and whilst you'd not use it in a nightclub, it's plenty. So, overall, this is good vfm, sounds good and looks good. I'm very pleased with it

This a nicely featured radio which has good reviews from several reputable consumer organisations such as WHICH and What Hi-Fi magazine. The sound very clear, with good volume. I found it very easy to set up and use. As it comes out of the box the sound is very heavy on the bass, with voices - particularly male - very boomy. With music, the bass is thumping. You can have a separate app on your phone which allows remote control of the unit. The app also has an equaliser which allows some reduction of the bass. How much of a problem this is depend on what you want the radio to do. For background music or speech listening in the kitchen while cooking it may be fine. Pop and rock fans might find the bass very acceptable. But if you are looking for soothing speech and good fidelity for classical music, this may might not be right for you. With the bass at its lowest setting in the equaliser app I thought it acceptable for classical music listening in the kitchen, but my wife found it intolerable.

This little pure Spot is fantastic in every department, strong reliable WiFi, internet radio with the undok app makes it so easy to find and add your favourite internet stations, the 20 watt speaker is powerful and base rich. I haven't tuned in dab or fm radio because internet radio gives you so much more but it's reassuring to have them though. A brilliant little radio for the bedroom with 2 alarms. The one slight let down is the sleep timer which is only a maximum of 60 minutes, all in all though a superb radio from pure.

This Pure Evoke Spot is a brilliant and compact audio unit, positioned in a bedroom where dab+ reception is poor, so bought for the internet radio feature. Easy to use controls, easy to set up, (including wifi), ideal compact size and unobtrusive appearance. Great sound. The UNDOCK app works seamlessly with all important features, so no need for a separate remote,

Pleasant sound from a small radio. Many stations available. Setup instructions not that easy. Certainly good value for its price.

Very pleased with my Pure Evoke Spot. Good sound quality and not so difficult to set up as some reviewers have suggested. Eespecially njoying the bluetooth option with my phone for Spotify and BBC Sounds.

Was happy with the radio, have had several Pure DAB's over the years, some have ultimately died with power issues after long service. This units power supply failed within 11 months, safely within the return period so I thought all would be well. It's now 6 weeks since I started the return and still don't have a replacement. The Pure online help desk close every ticket as resolved as soon as they issue a response so you have to keep reopening it to get any sort of action. Ultimately resorted to phoning them but still no resolution. Won't buy Pure again. Update: Finally received a replacement unit 9 weeks after reporting the issue. Had to chase three more times, rubbish service.

Neat radio with all sorts of options. I particularly wanted the sleep function which works well. The flip top is great as well so you are not disturbed by the bright light when running in sleep mode. No battery mode so has to be plugged in, but that is not an issue for me. Highly recommended.

Brilliant little internet radio! Connection and set up is easy. I've used it primarily for the internet radio, and there are thousands of station from all around the world to choose from. Choose via country, genre of music etc etc. The save function is very helpful and easy to use so you don't have to go searching for your favorite stations. The system is compact which means it good for all rooms and doesn't take up a lot of space. The sounds is far better than I expected, the bass is good and the clarity is on point. You can play with the equalizer to adjust levels if you feel you needed to. Let's be realistic, it's a 20W speaker so don't expect the liquid in your glass to vibrate, but you could happy host a gathering using it if you weren't expecting it to evolve to a club scene. This is the smallest speaker in the Pure Evoke range and I would definitely consider the 40W or 100W version in the future.

Very impresed by the quality, base and loudness of sound from this small device. Very nice small screen with all the comands, easy to operate between the radios (classic, dab, web). I recomend the purchase. Excellent internet radio.

Bardzo dobre ale brak bluetooth.

Uitstekende alleskunner met een razend goed geluiden eindeloze mogelijkheden. Het design is uit de kunst. Enige opmerking bij een wit apparaat hoort ook een wit snoer te zitten en niet zwart.

Pure Evoke Spot Spartano e semplice nella veste nera o bianco cotone mi ha sorpreso per la qualità del suono con una tendenza ad esaltare un poco le frequenze medio basse, adatto a un ascolto prolungato a basso volume (de gustibus). L’equalizzatore metterà tutti d’accordo. Sotto lo sportellino si accede alla plancia di comando/programmazione simile a quasi tutti gli apparati odierni. In pochi minuti si apprendono le varie funzioni di ricerca/sintonizzazione delle stazioni Internet, Dab e Fm e la loro memorizzazione. Per usare lo Spot come riproduttore di altre sorgenti è utile, anzi, indispensabile il Bluetooth. Il display è leggibilissimo e dimmerabile come anche l’anello luminoso intorno alla manopola del volume. Sono presenti la sveglia e lo sleep per chi vuole essere accompagnato ad incontrar Morfeo. Ottimo il suono anche a volume medio alto, in rapporto alla classe di appartenenza dello Spot. La descrizione particolareggiata della programmazione credo sia un inutile spreco di tempo e termino con l’affermare di essere di fronte ad un oggetto più che valido.
