Anything out there to replace my old Pure Move 400 DAB radio ? Can't seem to find anything like these in terms of size and internal rechargeable battery with a good battery life?

August rechargable one on amazon is deally good. No idea on actual battery life, but lasts most of the day. Only issue ive ever had, is when you have it connected to a battery pack at the same time as your phone. Seems to interfere with the signal.

My old pure move of circa 20 years is still going on the same rechargeable battery pack.

If I was to replace it this Sony one looks pretty good.

Roberts play 10, use high capacity rechargable aa batteries and you get a good 24 hours solid use.

You can get a new battery pack on eBay, I got a 6000mah one for about £20 from Germany, I get at least 48 hours constant use off one charge, and I do have mine on through the night.

Had a pure move for years, battered and abused and still doing 40hrs on a charge. Bought a august radio, does about 25hrs on a full charge which only takes a couple of hours unlike the pure move that took ages to fully charge. Good little radio but preferred pure move tbh

After a recommendation on here I just bought a Majority Edington radio. Its very good, and very small, not battery but USB rechargeable. Sound quality is excellent . I have to recharge once in 48 hours so a bit heavy on battery use , but with a decent power bank it charges very quickly. Literally dozens of channels to choose from and all clear as a bell . Mine was £39.

I have a few DAB radio`s and one is the Original Roberts Play I bought it because my fav stations mainly are only on DAB+ now
and my old Pure Move cant receive them I dont think there is much difference between the original Roberts Play that I have and the 10.20,etc that mainly seems cosmetic ? maybe improved battery life I dont know ?
anyway its been faultless great reception and sound and good battery life

Great radio but pricey but at least it doesn't need batteries

I've got a I-box barrel, brilliant little thing, size of a coffee mug, lithium battery that you can charge at home and get 10 hours of charge. Charges via USB off a powerbank if needed. Bluetooth, British company yes, not sure about where its actually made though.

Sound quality is brilliant, real stereo sound. Can't be doing with them tinny sounding radios that music sounds awful on. This barrel dab is the business

Off Amazon. Current price is £39.99. In one of the videos you are given a 30%
Discount code which is still currently valid, the code is Digital R30.

You won't be disappointed with it, good quality sound. I originally brought it solely for fishing but because of the sound quality I use it in the house aswell 👍
