PURE Chronos iDock, DAB Digital and FM clock radio with iPod Dock (black)

I bought one of these pretty much immediately when it came out from a major high street retailer, and had the high pitched whine problem that occurred when the screen was dimmed by a variable amount. I got it replaced at the store no problem, and since then I've enjoyed it. It is quite lightweight, but some blu tack sorted that button pushing problem out.

We listen almost exclusively to speech stations (R4, R5, BBC7) and low volume ipod and as such we've found the sound fine, and the unit looks very smart. The remote control has been very useful for my wife who was feeding the baby some meters away! That worked well.

It is quite pricey, but does what it is supposed to do pretty well, and as such we were on balance ... Read More:

Pure One DAB/FM Portable Radio - White

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

May 25, 2006
At the time of writing, 21 of the 25 reviews give this radio five stars. This tells you almost all you need to know. You'll almost certainly be very happy with the radio.

The other four award it four stars. Take the trouble to read what they say because they pinpoint one of the irritations I have found in this otherwise excellent radio.

The basic problem is the process for selecting stations. Before buying, I read the description that says the radio has 20 presets. I thought this would mean I could simply switch between preset stations by pressing one button. This was a feature I was looking for.

But this isn't how it works. Look at the picture. To select a station you press one of the small silver buttons ... Read More:

Griffin iTrip - FM Transmitter for iPod Video - Black

I bought this based on the positive reviews found on the web and whilst it is simple enough to use and cheap I found the sound quality to be extremely poor. I have tried it on various frequencies and in a number of different vehicles to see if that made a difference and whilst some were better than others I would describe the quality as mediocre at best. If you want something small and quick to use then ok but if you want something that sounds half decent take my advice and look elsewhere

I ordered this for my wife to use in the kitchen. It arrived when I was at work, but when I got home my wife had set it up, tuned all the stations and colud use all the functions. this may not sound much but my wife has trouble stting up a hair dryer!
The sound for such a small device is very clear.

Sony SRF-S84 FM/AM Radio Walkman - Silver

Like many of the others reviewers, I wanted a simple personal radio that sounded good, had adequate reception and didn't cost the earth. I visited a number of retailers, trying out about 15 radios across a number of well known brands. This little cracker stood out for it's quality, cost and outstanding sound reproduction. I use it for walking to and from work and with a small speaker when in my office. Absoluely Ideal. If you don't include this radio in your shortlist of options you could be missing out on an excellent deal!!

MY-Link Wireless LCD FM Transmitter Radio Mp3 IPOD 205 channels

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > Radios and DAB
from: MY-Link


Prior to buying this I had read the reviews and purchased the item with a touch of scepticism. I paid the princely sum of 0.01p and I can tell you it is the best penny I have spent. The item arrived a couple of days after ordering. It was very easy to set up (it took me all of two minutes)and it works perfectly well from my car radio. Other reviews have mentioned poor sound quality. All I can say is that for the price I paid for this gadget the sound quality is excellent. If they want better sound, then spend a considerable amount more and get a BOSE system.
They say that you get what you pay for, but this is an example of sometimes you get much better than you pay for. If you are looking for a simple device to transmit your ipod/mp3 music to your ... Read More:

Bunny Alarm Clock Blue Child Sleep Trainer

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > Radios and DAB
from: LIZARD PRICE


Our two year old can't tell the time and come summer time, was getting up around 5am, despite the blackout curtains. We decided to try this clock and it had the desired effect. We gradually got her up to 6:30 which was fantastic.

However, the device is mechanical and so if you set the alarm for 6:30 and your child is still asleep (rare I might add), then the loud "clunk" as the rabbit wakes up will almost certaing wake up the child.

Also, the alarm setting works on the 12 hour clock, so if you want to set the clock for 7:00, you won't be able to set if until about 19:15 as it's a bit sensitive.

Overall, a good idea, but would have been much better if the waking rabbit was not mechanical, and you could set the clock ... Read More:

iStation alarm clock radio for ipod (black)

After spending time researching which product to buy, I opted for this. I have to say that the output quality is great value at this price. The combination of functionality as a clear alarm clock with combined radio is not unique, but when combined with the sound quality makes much more expensive offerings seem ordinary in comparison.
