The editors didn't like

  • Clunky '90s display
  • Steep learning curve
  • Not as US centric as it could be.
  • Merely adequate sound quality
  • Need to use the web to truly use Internet radio
  • Lack of USbased media services
  • Expensive for what you get
  • Cumbersome FM tuner
  • Optional battery should really be standard.
  • Mono speaker
  • Controls can be confusing
  • No support for commercial streaming services
  • Streaming quality isnt great
  • Can be fiddly to navigate long lists of stations or tracks
  • Wonky interface takes time to master. Only portable with the proprietary ChargePAK E1. Alarm clock a bit too mild for our tastes. Static noise is pronounced when the volume is at max and the radio is on
  • The elegance of the touch-sensitive interface comes at the cost of usability. Remote and battery pack cost extra. Many popular music services
  • Such as Pandora
  • Slacker
  • Or Rhapsody
  • Are not supported. The speaker is mono
  • And the terrestrial radio doesn't

  • While we don’t actively keep up with the pound to dollar exchange rates, $230 seems steep for what amounts to an elaborate radio. In a world of iPods, Pandora, and satellite radio, paying $230 for an alarm clock with a below average sounding single spe...

  • The Pure Evoke Flow Wi-Fi radio offers superb construction and relatively full sound, but the music streaming options are stuck in the past.
