What a relief to find a clock radio with a good sound! After years tolerating my tinny old Panasonic clock radio I had the opportunity to buy a more expensive model with a few more features, and hopefully a decent set of stereo speakers. I also wanted FM as well as DAB, so this product from Pure seemed to fit the bill.
The Chronos Series II is fairly compact, but its boxy triangular profile allowed the inclusion of a pair of decent (for a clock radio) speakers which, with 10W RMS of amplification, give a very respectable sound. The tone can also be adjusted (bass & treble separately) to get it just right. The FM/DAB radio, which has 30 presets and is self tuning at switch on, is very clear despite radio reception in my area being poor. The CD player works well and is fairly quiet in operation. The controls are very clear and the setup menu system is very intuitive and easy to navigate. I particularly like the self-dimming display, which is very dim in a dark bedroom unlike my retina-burning Panasonic clock display! This model also comes with a very effective remote control.
Summary: A well made bit of kit with easy-to-use controls/remote control, and a great sound. Just a bit pricey...

I purchased this to fulfil the following criterea. A bedside unit that played music from my iphone 3gs, a DAB and FM radio and an alarm that I could use to wake up to a choice of those inputs. The main and for me, deal breaking problem, is that the volume is digitally incremental and the minimum volume is FAR too loud for listening to at night. Added to this is the fact that the display is too bright on its lowest setting.
Another annoying problem is that, to get any of the buttons on the front to work, including pushing the main button, you have to push hard enough for the unit to move away from you on each press of a button. Add to this the fact that the buttons are completely flush and black with no texture so they can't be seen in the dark and you end up with something that simply isn't practical for the purpose that its marketed for.
Good points, it works fine with the 3gs and receives calls, no annoying incompatibility warning messages and charges it of course. It sounds good for its size and its a perfect size for a bedside unit. Sadly, I've had to send it back to Amazon as not fit for purpose.
I'm now looking at the Sirocco pure 150, which is a hifi, so bigger than I wanted and not marketed as a bedside unit. I've tested it. It works fine with the 3gs, has a dab and fm radio, looks like it has a nice dim but clear clock and the volume will go down to zero with no discrete steps. In short, I think the chrono would be ok in other rooms such as a kitchen, although I still don't like the flush buttons that, because the unit is too light, means you push it away from you but it's a no from me for bedroom use.

I bought this as a replacement for my Goodmans dab/cd clock radio that recently died after only a few years. I have choosen this one as it was smart looking and has all the requirements I need, with the added bonus of the mp3 connection.
The sound quality is really good, which you would expect from a dab radio and the cd and mp3 is easy to use.
The only down side I have found is the automatic dimming of the clock which I find quite difficult to see at night, and setting the alarm can be a bit fiddly.
Overall I find it to be an excellent product and would recommend it.

Although it is advertised as more of a bedside radio alarm, I bought this as a kitchen radio. I'd seen it in John Lewis, so I knew what the quality was like, and the quirky shape was perfect to sit in a corner of the kitchen without taking up lots of work space. Amazon price was £15 better. It is advertised as having environmentally friendly minimal packaging, which is true, so shame on Amazon for delivering it in a box at least six times the size of the manufacturers packaging! Set up was easy, though the standard aerial wire was too short for our dodgy DAB area, and initially I could only get seven channels, with none of the BBC ones I wanted. I just extended it with another 6 feet of wire, and now get around 30 channels, including all the BBC ones. It ships with a very handy remote control, with a magnetic patch handy for sticking it to the fridge. Sound quality on DAB, FM and CD is excellent, as is the build quality. It is full of nice details, like the display backlight which automatically adjusts to ambient lighting level. Also has an energy star compliant power supply, so I don't feel too guilty about having it running all the time. It has an `aux' feature so you can plug an MP3 player into it, and again the sound quality is very good. Only very minor niggle is that it would have been nice to have included a lead to connect `aux' devices - A short male/male 3.5mm jack line would have cost pennies. Highly recommended.

Very pleased with this. It has a superb sound for its size. Ideal for listening whilst at work in the kitchen, it also would be OK for more focussed listening elsewhere in the house. Tuning is easy. The range of options offered is impressive.
One minor quibble is that finding buttons on the front of the machine is a bit fiddly (but that might also be down to my clumsy fingers).
