Initially purchased the PURE Chronos CD II as I wanted a Radio Alarm clock that would do everything. I already have a PURE DAB radio so I knew that the pedigree was pretty good. Unfortunately when I got the unit home I discovered that PURE had cut back on quality on the CD. The DAB and alarm funtionality was great but I also wanted the CD to play MP3's and at a low level. The previous version of the Chronos CD did play MP3 encoded CD's but not this one despite several websites saying to the contrary. I had to phone PURE support to check and they said it was a cost/licensing issue not to support MP3 CD's???? Aside from this the CD is unlistenable to a very low volume levels because the CD mechanism itself is just so noisy, with a constant whirring hum and a regular click. In the end I took the unit back and swopped it for the Roberts CRD37 and this was possibly the best move I have made. Apart from the small, hard to see buttons and the strange font on the display this Roberts outclasses the PURE in every department. YES, even in the radio area with a half size aerial. The CD mechanism is now silent and the sound quality is excellent (for a small radio alarm clock) even without any tone controls. To anyone who is in the market for a DAB, CD Alarm clock that plays CD MP3's then I recommend this higher than the PURE.
PURE have now released a mini Hifi which also funtions as a radio alarm clock and supports MP3 CD's, but this is a 3 box solution, not great for a small bedside table.

Wish I had not bought this. Controls miniature and hard to track, sound quality poor for money, hard work all in all, about to ditch it and buy Sony or similar as this turned out to be pretty useless

Not for someone who needs an instruction book to know what they are doing. The instruction book appears simple but the radio does not appear to do what it says it should be doing when trying to set it up, i.e the alarm. Have not found out yet how to switch alarm off for just a day when it is not needed. The radio on f.m is not very good at all, perhaps because the ariel is not long enough. This is still though, a good radio/cd/alarm for the price,the cd player and dab radio are very good and easy to use.

There's no doubt this is a well-made DAB/FM radio/cd player and it looks good. Only thing is, as other reviews mention ... it has a pathetic piece of (cheap)wire for an "aerial" which is pretty ineffective. Actually it's useless. As a result, the radio is not able to receive ANY DAB stations here! The manual suggests moving the unit to another location, which isn't too helpful as in reality this means up in the loft and it's very cold up there at the moment. And not too convenient either when I actually wanted to enjoy the thing in the lounge! It will pull in a few FM stations - but only those with a very strong signal (e.g. Radio 2). By the way I'm talking London area - not Uzbekhistan! It won't receive LBC (on DAB or FM!)for example. By comparison I can get LBC on my car FM radio when 40+ miles from Central London! And another DAB radio at home[Pure Evoke with 68cm metal retractable aerial]works fine.
The CD player works well and the speakers are good for their size, producing acceptable sound. Bass and treble controls would improve the overall experience.
So, unless you live next to (or up!) a radio transmitter or want to install an external radio aerial on the roof (and modify the Roberts to accept the feed!), I'd avoid the Roberts CRD-37 and go for something with a more effective/sensitive/powerful receiver and a proper aerial. Seriously considered sending this one back - but may give it to my daughter and see if she gets better reception (or rather see if it'll work as a DAB radio receiver) where she lives.

My wife wanted a DAB radio for her birthday (mad keen on sports news)plus it had to have FM (local news) plus she listens to reading book CD's every night plus she plays Mp3 CD's - the side of her bed was cluttered to achieve this.
After many hours trawling the net I came across the Roberts Sound 37 - it looked perfect - I was a bit concerned about the comments by others of the DAB reception and its 'cheap looks' but decided to 'go for it'!
Very good DAB and FM reception, CD bookmark is great - sound is good ( bass/treble control would have been good though)- once you know what all the buttons do its great.
