 Great item! April 10, 2008

I have found this item to be really great, and to do exactly what it is intended.
It works really well as a DAB radio, stations are easy to find, and sound good (I am in London).
I was worried before buying the idock as I wanted to use it with my iphone which is not officially supported. However, I have had no problems doing this, including using the remote control, and it sounds good, even with audiobooks. I should point out that I am not a music geek, so as long as the music sounds clear and not tinny I am happy! I have not had any of the buzzing at low volume that other people have complained of.
I was really undecided as to whether to buy this or the intempo RDI which does pretty much the same job, but after I went to look at them both in John Lewis I decided on this one as it is more compact and the ipod dock seemed more robust.
The other reason I like the Pure Chronos idock is that it is made to have as little impact on the environment as possible, both during manufacture and use. I do not find it to be overly light or flimsy as some of the reviewers have mentioned, and overall I am extremely pleased.
I am not a big review writer, but this idock seems to have been harshly reviewed on amazon, so I thought I would add my very positive experience! Hope it it useful.

Luckily I bought this product before I read the reviews on this site. I have not had any of the reported problems with it that I have read on here. I can hardly believe that I am reviewing the same product!!!
I love the look of this product it looks great on my bedside cabinet. It is really easy to read the time and set the alarm which was my main complaint of my former ipod system. The alarm has some great features. You can set it to go off daily, weekends only or just once. You can set up to four alarms and also choose whether you would like to wake up to radio, ipod or alarm.
I have no complaints about the sound. It is very easy to use. My only critism would be that it does not pick up as many dab stations as I would like. Saying that however, I would say that that is more to do with the area I live in rather than the system itself.
The fact that it is environmentally friendly adds to its appeal. I highly recommend this product.
Great product! October 8, 2008

I bought this as my bedside radio alaram clock and thought it would be worth noting a few points down here that people might miss out on......
1) Works perfectly with my iPhone 3G. Plays all the music on it and charges it. It also charges the iPhone when in Standby so you can stick your iPhone on it overnight to charge and take it off in the morning when you wake up.
2) You can choose which station to wake up to. You use your "presets" for this and when you set an alarm you tell the alarm which preset station to use. This means you can fall asleep to one station and wake up to another.
3) The small card shaped remote comes with a couple of magnetic stickers so you can stick it up somewhere (or even to the device itself)
4) You can choose the level of brightness when the unit is in standby. Your options are auto-dimming, timed (so you press a button to see the time) and permanently on where you can choose your brightness/contrast on a level from 1-10
Overall I'm very pleased with it and highly recommend it.
PURE Chronos iDock/DAB Digital/FM clock radio/ iPod Dock May 1, 2008
the first thing you think of

Exactly what i was looking for, and at a very good price.
DAB is excellent, clear and perfect for the bedroom. Bought really to allow easy and regular charging for my iPhone / iPod. Works well with both, though no plastic insert provided for the iphone, but still connects ok.
Plays iPod / iPhone music as you would expect - great up to medium volume - only use on low anyway.
Display is clear and it gives you 4 alarm settings - so you can have a set for weekdays and another set for weekends!
Quite a clear manual too, which is unusual!
Buttons on the front are a bit tough to press, sometimes the unit will slip back a bit. Its got a big snooze button on the top which is nice!
Hope this helps - really pleased with it.

This is an excellent DAB radio, especially if you have the Ipod to go with it. You can play the Ipod through the speakers and wake up to the Ipod when you set the 4 alarms.
It sounds good, it's easy to use and it's highly practical. i love it and am very very pleased with it.
