Elan One2 DAB+ FM Portable Radio, Mains & Battery Powered, White

I’m really chuffed with this. I was specifically looking for something small and easy to move around that still sounded decent, mainly so I could listen to the news while I’m busy working. The Elan One2 fits the bill perfectly. Performance and Sound The DAB+ reception is excellent, it picked up loads of stations straight away without any faffing about. For such a compact bit of kit, the sound is lovely and clear, which is exactly what you want when you're listening to people talk all day. It doesn't sound "tinny" like some small portables do. Build and Features It’s very straightforward to use; the menu is simple to navigate and having the preset buttons is a massive bonus for switching between stations quickly. I also like that I can pop some AA batteries in if I want to take it into another room or out into the garden. It’s a great, reliable little radio that does exactly what it says on the tin. If you need something portable that doesn't compromise on sound quality, I’d highly recommend it.

This is a great radio for the price. The sound quality/volume is excellent given its size. Very easy to set up and use. I can’t comment on battery operation, as I’ve been running it from the mains. It comes with a USB-A to barrel connector lead that connects to the radio’s 5 volt socket. It doesn’t come with a mains plug to connect the USB to though, so that will need to be bought separately if you don’t have one. Luckily I had a few left over from old mobile phones. Reception on DAB and FM is perfect, I am very close to the local transmitters though, so in low signal areas that might be different? The Bluetooth is a real plus as it lets you listen to internet stations via the radio. It was easy to pair with my phone and tablet. A good quality radio for the money.

Good sized little radio, bought to use in my conservatory or when out gardening. Easy to set up and use. Basic design but wasn't looking for anything fancy so not a problem to me. It sometimes struggles with reception, but mainly when I am outside with it and on battery power, so that might be the issue. 4 AA batteries have an average about 8-10 hours of use I have found. Good length cable for using with the plug. Have not used with bluetooth so unable to comment on this function. Price at time of purchase was reasonable. Satisfied with product after a year of using often.

Bought this little radio for the kitchen and did not want it to take up space. Have had Pure radios before but not at this lower price point. The sound of this Pure radio was fine considering its cost. A little tinny but fine overall. It was also easy to set up. However, the problem was that it kept cutting out every 5-7 mins and only came back on when manually done. I tried it in various locations in the house but the same thing happened. Never had this experience with anything electrical before. I listen to Radio 4 a lot and there is nothing worse than these sudden silences during an in-depth informative programme. Could not tolerate that. Unfortunately had to return the radio the same day it arrived.

Lots of negative reviews for this radio, but I find most of them relate to faulty units, which is fair enough, user error, or over optimistic expectation. Most of the other reviews seems quite good so thought I'd buy one and see for myself. My unit was fine. I tested all features and functions and found no issues and in line with a budget DAB radio. I wanted it for the bathroom so it won't see a lot of use. Battery wise, so far I have had 7 hours use at 50% volume with the battery meter on about half, so I think it's fair to say I'll get about 10 hours from my premium branded rechargeable batteries which for my use is fine. It's worth noting that DAB radios seem to use more power than their conventional FM/AM cousins. It comes with a charging cable but not a power supply, so you'll need to find your own if you wish to avoid batteries. Most folk have a basic USB charger around the house and they are not expensive if you haven't. It is a little plasticky of course at this level, but the tone is fine and what I would expect in this segment. My only annoyance is the scrolling text on the display. It can be changed to show other info, but always reverts back to the scrolling mode. The included instruction manual is not detailed enough for some people, so a bit of research was needed for finer points. I would recommend this item and hope you receive one that's fully operational like I did if you decide to buy. If any one is interested, the headphone socket is stereo, well it was when I checked using Bluetooth, so the unit could be connected to a larger setup if required.

I have used Pure radios for years and they have never let me down. However I noticed one or two people had issues and so although I was a little hesitant I went ahead and bought one. I am so glad that I did because it is actually a great little radio. I like the tone -a lot of the cheaper radios sound a bit tinny but this one has a nice mellow tone (to my ear!). It can be powered from a USB socket and can also take 4 AA batteries which is a great backup. The best thing is that as it has a 5volt jack plug input socket, they do not really make this clear which is a shame because it is a big plus because I can run the radio using the power bank that I usually use to charge my phone, much better than an onboard rechargable because built in batteries on budget products fail sooner rather than later in my experience. It is pretty much self set up -just switch it on and it will scan and set the date/time etc. A really nice little radio.

Arrived on time great product but got it for a neighbour so can’t comment other than the manufacturers were very clearing for setting stations. It doesn’t tell you it is the volume button you press down for 2s to set the station

Good radio, but disappointing as a bedside clock / radio. The time display is tiny, and it disappears altogether (in favour of station details) while the radio is playing.

Kompakt Guter Klang (für diesen kleinen Lautsprecher) Stereo über Kopfhörer funktioniert Standfest Bluetooth funktioniert Einfache Bedienung

Très bonne radio, le son est excellent et la réception DAB également.

Brilliant little radio easy to set-up and use. Radio stations easy to select. Would recommend them to anyone. Paul.

Een hele mooie DAB+ radio die het overal doet, behalve op mijn bureau op het werk. De DAB+ radio van de Lidl deed het daar ook al niet. Fijn is dat je het menu ook in het Nederlands kunt instellen. Ga hem meenemen op vakantie om dan (op batterijen) als wekkerradio te gebruiken. Dankzij de type C aansluiting kun je hem ook met de oplader van je telefoon gebruiken.

Se escucha genial
