Pure Highway In-Car DAB Radio With FM Transmitter - Black

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > Radios and DAB
from: Pure

January 14, 2008
I use this both for DAB and playing my Ipod. The DAB reception is perfect but Ipod tranmission over FM is poor and much worst quality than my wife's griffin Ipod transmitter, I have to retune FM frequencies every 15 minutes - Grrrrr.
So I recommend for DAB but not for playing your Ipod through

Griffin iTrip Auto FM Transmitter for iPod - Black

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > Radios and DAB
from: Griffin Technology

July 26, 2006
Had mine for 2 months now and have round it to be excellent. My girlfriend has the Griffin white I-trip which suffers from a lot of interference. This one however, you can be listening to a decent radio signal but upon connecting this to the cigarette lighter, the sound is stopped completely, giving your iPod free reign of the air waves!

Even at higher volumes, the sound quality is very good and it also charges your iPod while you go... 5 stars all round!

Intempo Digital RDI iPod Speaker Dock With Built In DAB

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > Radios and DAB
from: Intempo

October 21, 2007
When I opened the package I was pleasantly surprised as RDI looks much more chic than its boxy appearance in the photos. So That's what the 2 stars are for. However, none of the functions were working at all on the one I received today, and I've had to return it back. The only blessing is that Amazon make it so easy to return faulty items; but for it not to work...not what I expected at all. I have to warn anyone thinking of buying one that the mains lead is laghably short, maybe just over a metre long. Would another metre of wire have cost the manufacturer that much?!

Pure One DAB/FM Portable Radio - Black

Well made radio with good quality sound. To claim that this radio will run for 35 hours on 6 size C batteries is completely untrue. You will be lucky to get 2to 3 hours.It does however run well off the mains.

I hope you never have to contact the Pure technical department for help or advice because you will not get it and this despite the promises made on their website. I shall think twice in future before buying their products again.

Kensington Si600 Wireless Presenter with Laser Pointer - Presentation remote control - radio

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > Radios and DAB
from: Kensington


I do a lot of presentations and I have used a friends Kensington, He urged me to buy one and it is truly excellent. It makes life so much easier and you will have to use a system you are unsure of ever again (we have all been there and advanced the slides at the wrong time). A must for all presenters.

Pure EVOKE-2XT, Luxury DAB/FM Portable Radio with Alarm - Maple

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > Radios and DAB
from: Pure Digital

May 25, 2006
Excellent sound quality,v/good tone control. Easy to tune and set up.Pleasure to listen to. Bought with recharge battery pack,works well. Was able to pick up 14 No 90- 100% reception Dab stations in North Dorset using radio ariel. Tried TV ariel was worse. Would need to buy Dab ariel to get more stations. Very slight grumble, instruction book says that I have a sleep timer for radio to turn off in 15, 30 mins etc,have not got this! Other timers work well. Argee with other writer that screen display is bright for bedroom even on lowest setting.Ended up draping piece of material accross radio front.

PURE VL-60907UK Siesta, Black DAB Digital Clock Radio

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > Radios and DAB
from: Pure

June 26, 2007
Fantastic sound from such a small package. So easy to set up and great standard features - multi alarms, programmable for days of the week, preset sound levels etc. etc. Well worth paying a bit extra over all those other run-of-the-mill clock radios with their poor sound quality and lack of features. I bought one after reading so many good reviews and they were all spot on. Well done PURE.

Griffin RoadTrip 4031 - FM Transmitter & Charger for iPods - Black

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > Radios and DAB
from: Griffin Technology

July 26, 2006
I bought this as a secondary unit to an iTALKonline transmitter, and while I have probably been spoilt by that piece of kit, I honestly wasn't expecting the Roadtrip to be as bad as it is.

Firstly, the basic fitting is not quite long enough to fit into the cigarette lighter and allow me to actually see and use the ipod. Due to the angle of the socket in my car (Audi TT), the ipod ends up pointing towards the floor, making it difficult to change tracks etc.
Also, the extension arm supplied is way too long and the unit is too heavy to be supported safely by it, leaving it sticking out too far and waggling around.

Secondly, the sound quality is dreadful - far too quiet and when the volume is wacked up to compensate, the ... Read More:

Sennheiser RS130 - Wireless Headphones

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > Radios and DAB
from: Sennheiser

December 05, 2005
These are the first pair of wireless headphones I've bought, I don't think I'd buy another pair. At least not a pair of these.

Initially there was a lot of noise, I switched channels on the headphones and the noise was reduced but they're still noticeably more noisy than wired headphones (which is probably to be expected).

If you like to have the volume turned up - forget about it! Low to medium volume is the best you can get.

Music -- unless you listen to heavily compressed pop music -- is an exercise in frustration. The unit has a 'special' automated volume system, intended to get the best signal from the base unit. Listening to some punk rock caused the volume to be flying all over the place making the music ... Read More:

Philips HF3461 Wake-Up Light Alarm Clock

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > Radios and DAB
from: Philips


great to wake up to when it's dark in the morning - but feels a bit cheapish - biggest probelm though is that when the light's on you can't read the clock because it's not bright enough - so in the morning it's a bit awkward knowing what the time is
