Pure Elan Connect+ All-In-One Stereo Internet Radio with DAB+ and Bluetooth 5.0 (DAB/DAB+ & FM radio, Internet Radio, TFT Display, Music Streaming, Podcasts, Mains and Battery Powered) Stone Grey

I purchased this radio as I wanted a small unit to sit in my kitchen and i'm very happy with my purchase. It would be permanently mains powered so lack of a rechargeable battery is not an issue for me. I probably wouldn't recommend this if you are going to primarily use it as a portable radio as it will eat AA batteries. It just comes with a USB cable, and no AC adapter is included in the box, but this is normal nowadays. As I had a USB socket nearby, this was not an issue for me, but something to bear in mind. Additionally, a USB-C socket on the rear for power would be nice as Micro USB is very dated now, and I've found it to be more fragile/insecure than USB-C, but it's just a minor point. For a portable radio I would probably recommend the JBL Tuner instead, it is waterproof, has better sound quality with an integrated battery, but costs a little more and doesn't have internet radio functions. Sound quality is OK, about standard for this type of radio. Not horrible, but set expectations realistically. DAB functionality is as to be expected, but the thing that really impresses me about this is the internet radio functionality. As long as you have a strong Wi-Fi signal it works flawlessly. I was able to store a large list of worldwide radio stations to listen to while I am cooking - great for when you get bored of DAB! You can also use the "UNDOK" app to communicate over Wi-Fi with the radio from your Android or IOS device, and set up the presets there - it's a lot faster this way. I haven't tested the Bluetooth functionality as I have many other speakers for this but I think this is hard to get wrong. I can't think you'll find anything better for the price point (£50) if you want a small internet radio.

This is probably my fifth DAB radio and second Pure model - and things do keep getting better. The previous Pure Evoke C-D6 was never really used as it was a replacement for a JVC valve stereo and the sound quality and functionality just could not compare. I sold it and brought a little Majority Eddington which is delightful. Colour screen, good DAB coverage and sound but at less than the size of a box of kitchen matches, and with ageing hearing, no longer suitable for use in the kitchen when you turn on an appliance. I wasn't really specifically looking for a new radio, but this Connect+ popped up when I was browsing and it was on sale. I was sceptical about getting anything by Pure again but figured if the sound was not for me, then I could return it to Amazon. The first thing that surprised me was the new Amazon minimal packing - there was none! The address was stuck to the radio's box and left on the door step. LOL. Anyway, unpacked it. Plugged in and turned on. Ran though some simple set-up questions, and the firmware update - which added podcasts to the main menu, and finally scanned DAB stations - all really easily. Decided to connect to WIFI, which although doable, takes a while using a dial to select characters. It's been up and running several days now - and impressions are: I'm keeping it. The rubbery plastic case and buttons are much better than the pictures and no different in quality to other radios I've had. The WIFI connection is excellent. It's a kitchen radio in a purpose built flat, several rooms away from the router. Normally, WIFI is patchy, but this has a clear playback of streaming stations. Station selection is possible on the radio but you can also use the Undok Android app or over your home network through a web browser to search, play or add preset stations. I quickly found a local station that I really like, but I have rubbish FM reception, added it as an internet preset and have clear playback at home now. Likewise, there is a wide choice of world wide stations and unlike UK stations - not filled with annoying gambling adverts. DAB is DAB. Found all the stations I would expect. Connection is fine with the aerial extended. Added a couple of presets which are stored separately to the internet ones. The Eddington was mostly tuned to Radio Two and occasionally changed if I'd didn't like the presenter. With the BBC shake up of the station, a lot of presenters / shows are gone and I think this Connect+ is going to fill that void with access to Internet stations and Podcasts. Podcasts, this was added during the firmware update and appears to be Internet radio under a different icon. I've never listened to them before, because my radio usage is background sound whilst doing other things. I won't go as far as to say this implementation is pointless, but it is limited. And the reason I dropped a star for the review. You cannot preset a podcast, say the Infinite Monkey Cage but only an episode of that cast. Also, if you leave and return to the episode, it starts from the beginning. This seemed wrong. Enter... Bluetooth. On the Eddington it was poor. The sound quality made it unusable. I had considered buying a standalone speaker but the connection and sound from my Moto G to this two speaker Connect+ is great. First thing I noticed was the BBC Sounds and MediaMonkey apps were displaying playback information on that lovely large colour screen in the same way as DAB or Internet Radio playback. Then I went searching and found Pocket Casts application and everything fit together perfectly. This allows you to organise casts, play individual episodes, pause and resume from your phone but use BT on the Connect+ for great sound, playback information and control. A couple of last points to finish up. Sound. Sound is subjective. And on the whole, I like this device. I can hear speech clearly above the racket of the kitchen or when wandering around the flat. Half volume is much louder than the Eddington and therefore more than enough to sing along to Gary Davies Sound of the Eighties or relax to some Jazz or Classic FM. No, the Connect+ doesn't match my Creative T100s on sound quality but it's not meant too and what it does, it does well enough to enjoy. Portability. Not really sure on this one. Would probably have to see how long a set of rechargeable batteries lasted. Probably more of a nuisance than a plus but given that we already have several good power-banks not a deal breaker. Is it worth the price I paid? YES. Is it worth the RRP? Probably. Though better Podcast management and in-built rechargeable battery for those just using the device standalone would be better. Well done Pure.

The Elan Connect+ is a compact, multi-source radio that blends digital clarity with modern streaming. It supports DAB/DAB+, FM, and Internet radio, plus Bluetooth 5.0 for streaming from your phone. You can also plug in older gear via the 3.5mm AUX input. The colour display is sharp and easy to navigate using the central dial and button layout. Setup is straightforward—Wi-Fi pairing, Bluetooth sync, and station scanning all take a few minutes. The preset system is handy for quick access to favourites, especially with thousands of Internet stations available. Audio is clear and balanced, ideal for voice-heavy content like talk radio, podcasts, and news. It’s not bass-heavy, but the stereo drivers deliver decent volume and clarity for casual listening. The unit runs on micro-USB, which is convenient but feels dated compared to USB-C. ✅ Pros All-in-one radio—DAB+, FM, Internet, Bluetooth Compact and portable—fits kitchens, desks, and shelves Clear stereo sound—great for speech and light music Colour display—easy navigation and station info Battery or mains powered—flexible placement 20 presets per mode—quick access to favourites Bluetooth 5.0—stable streaming from phone/tablet ⚠️ Cons Micro-USB power—feels outdated Plastic build—lightweight but not premium No USB-C or headphone jack Limited bass—not ideal for music-heavy use AA batteries not included—adds to cost No smart features or app control 🧍‍♂️ Personal Verdict Used this in a kitchen and garage—great for background listening, podcasts, and streaming. The presets and display make it easy to use, and the stereo sound is clean for its size. For under £100, it’s a proper all-rounder if you want radio, Bluetooth, and portability without faff.

+ Türkçe dil desteği var. + Bilgisayardan ip adresini yazarak arayüzüne ulaşabilir ve stream url'lerinizi manuel olarak ekleyebilirsiniz. + İsterseniz prizden aldığı elektrikle, isterseniz pille çalışabiliyor (4 AA Pil). Prize bağlı iken elektrik giderse pille çalışabiliyor (yeniden açmanız gerekli). + FM çekmesinde hiçbir problem yaşamadım. * Ses kalitesinin çalan radyoya bağlı olduğunu düşünüyorum. 256 kbps yayın yapan radyonun sesi, 64 kpbs yayın yapandan daha iyi geliyor (doğal olarak). * Yaşadığım yerde DAB/DAB+ olmadığı için bu özelliğini değerlendiremiyorum. - Ekranı çalan radyoyu gösteriyor sürekli (saat en üst satırda küçük olarak görünüyor). Birkaç saniye sonra tam ekran saat ekranına dönse daha iyi olurdu. - Bilgisayardan arayüzüne girdiğinizde tüm ayarları yapılabilseydi çok daha rahat olurdu (Kendi üzerinden de zorlanmadan yapılabiliyor ama). - Hazırladığım, herkese açık youtube playlisti çalabilseydi efsane olurdu... 02/04/2025 tarihinde ekleme: Bu cihazın kulaklık çıkışını AUX destekli bir bluetooth hoparlöre bağladım denemek için. Sonuç gerçekten temiz ve net bir ses oldu. Yani cihazın kendi hoparlörlerinin aslında hiç de iyi olmadığını anladım. Bu arada tamamen kısık seste dinliyorum cihazı, bütün gece başucumda çaldığı için. Bluetooth hoparlör de öyle çok kaliteli birşey değil. Motorola Sonic Play+ 275.

Net ontvangen. Aan de wifi hangen ging super simpel. Update ging vanzelf. Daarna instellen van de internetzenders en dat is ook erg eenvoudig. Zender gevonden dan 1, 2 of 3 kiezen voor de voorkeursinstelling die vanaf 3 tot de 20 gaan. Stroom eraf en er weer op, internet meteen gevonden en alle instellingen waren er nog. Geluid is voor de slaapkamer prima. Zit een alarminstelling en sleeptimer op. Dus ik vind het echt een topapparaat voor een topprijs. Zoals goed omschreven zit er geen stroomblokje in de doos. USB stroomaansluitblokje er aan gehangen en geen probleem. Batterijen erin doen heb ik nog niet gedaan, maar dat zal ook prima werken. Hoelang de batterijen meegaan miet ik dus nog uitvinden.

Radiolina completa di internet radio, dab, connessione Bluetooth per essere anche usata come cassa, radio fm. Suono buono considerando le dimensioni. Bella a vedersi. Funziona con filo USB, batterie (io uso una powerbank). Menù non facilissimo, ma ho ovviato con l'applicazione su smartphone UnDock suggerita da diversi altri clienti. Al momento completamente soddisfatta!!

Muy buen aparato. Muchas posibilidades. La radio por internet , estupenda para quien tenga problemas de interferencias en la banda fm. Lo peor , sonido muy agudo , pero te permite ajustarlo manualmente y conseguir un sonido decente. Muchas posibilidades , aunque hay que leerse instrucciones y trastear con los menus. Aun asi , encantado del resultado final.

Radio ma niestety marną jakość dźwięku - wysokie tony ledwie słyszalne, korektor niewiele tu pomaga. Szkoda, bo reszta całkiem w porządku.
