Pure Evoke H3 Portable FM/DAB+/DAB Digital Radio - Portable DAB Radio with Bluetooth, Dual Alarms and Full Colour Display, Oak

Product Information

DAB Radio is a great system that automatically finds any stations available in your area and will let you select them by name, without having to search through frequencies. Browsing these stations has been made incredibly easy thanks to the 2.4" full colour display, there is also a large scroll wheel on the top of the radio for anything from selecting radio stations, to moving through menus. Evoke say that they cannot ensure that their products are " futureproof" which I can understand... that would be impossible... but to wash your hands of a product that for me is only a few years old makes me wonder about ever buying a Pure radio again... as good as they are! The next step after looking at products in the same category, was to look at products from the same brand, Pure.

For those who prefer to listen to their favourite channels privately, the Pure Evoke H2 DAB/DAB+/FM and Bluetooth radio comes with a headphone output.A free UNDOK smartphone app makes it even easier to control, turning your smartphone into touch remote . There’s also a traditional remote in the box if you prefer a simpler approach. A superb all-rounder that sounds just as good as it looks. Evoke H3 has a vivid and informative 2.4” full colour TFT display. The clear screen makes accessing the growing number of digital radio stations a breeze. View your favourite station’s information and slideshow artwork in full colour.

We test DAB radios by setting them up from scratch, scanning for channels, then listening to a range of stations and material over a period of around one week. During that time, we’ll also test Bluetooth streaming where available and use battery-powered devices away from the mains to see if the audio quality changes. We also evaluate how long the batteries last. Where possible, we make direct A-B comparisons to other radios of the same size and class. The Pure Evoke H3 is a radio that delivers high-quality audio and offers convenient features. It is designed to provide a reliable and durable performance over time. Interesting set of posts - My Evoke-3 also died last week with exactly the same issue - ie no screen, no response to keys, reset does not work - this unit was bought 2.5 years ago so also out of warranty Next up is material. Read through the product description for Pure Evoke H3 DAB Radio to get an understanding of the materials the product is made from. Some materials will obviously be known for delivering better quality item than others. You might also have decided that you’ll only accept a product made from a particular material.

Although you won’t be able to turn the sound up loud enough to disturb your neighbours with the Evoke H3, you can rest assured that even if you turn the device up to the max, you won’t experience much by way of distortion. Pure Evoke H3 review: Verdict

I've had a Pure Evoke-3 for about 3 years, but I only upgraded from the v1.5 firmware it came with, to v1.8, on 2nd March this year. To date I haven't seen any of the problems reported by rusty_brown, photop, or ccb; on v1.5, the LCD displayed an "Out of Memory" error about once every six months, auto-reboot in seconds, otherwise nada. Often, when we review a Pure radio, style is one of the first things we notice. The Evoke H3 has a very similar appeal to many of the other items in the Evoke series. It looks a bit like the slimmer version of the C-D4, with its authentic wood finish and bold white faceplate.A couple of weeks ago I returned home after weekend away & reconnected my 3year old Evoke 3 radio to mains. Screen showed, 'waiting for upgrade' message.Radio keys all dead. I have never upgraded this radio or connected to computer. Any Evoke-3 radio suddenly reporting the need for a software upgrade will appear with a message on the screen saying something along the lines of 'Waiting for Upgrade - Press any key to exit'.
