I'm just going to re-iterate what everyone else has said so far. Someone gave me a SONUS for Christmas, and what can I say...its amazing!! I think my favourite feature has to be the ability to read Scrolling Text from stations. Undoubtedly the fact I'm new to DAB Radio anyway makes it even more great.

I found it online for £95 including delivery so you can get it for less than the £120RRP which RNIB charge without having to register with tapesense. I got mine within 48 hours of ordering. I'd urge anyone considering getting a DAB radio to go for the Sonus to proove to Pure that there is a demand and then they might eventually be able to commercially justify extending the ivox technology in to other models.

They have no plans to extend the iVox speech into other of their products because, they say, it's performance in terms of sales has been, in their terms disappointing. This is sad, not least because the most recent addition to their catalogue is a personal DAB/FM receiver with much the same functionality as The Bug kitchen model. So you can rewind, pause and record DAB to an SD card. But it's display is extremely VI unfriendly and it relies more heavily than other models on menus. Having said this, in my experience across the board, once you've mastered the principle of DAB sets, it's pretty easy to apply it. Cheers now.

Very nice radio) I now wish to purchase another but with the FM tuner built in. As far as I can see pure do not make a talking one with this option. Do any of you use a non talking FM one and is it fairly easy to use with no sight.
