I've had a Pure Move 400D for years. There's nothing wrong with it, but the last few months I've been fishing 30 yards from the M4 mainly. It's very noisy, I spend most of the day with my Pure Move on full volume to drown out the motorway.
The PM speaker is very tinny, and not that great when played on higher volumes.
So I wanted a better quality radio. This turned up today. It's very very good indeed. It has an incredible sound quality for a small radio. Ovbs do not know how great the rechargeable lithium battery is... But I have power banks for that. All I was interested in was the sound quality... And that is exceptional. For £50 it's amazing quality.

Just bought a roberts play 20 and its excellent, much better sound than my pure move it replaced.

I'm totally shocked at how good thing is, even though the reviews were good. Sound is very crisp. The quality is light years better than my Pure Move. There's not even any comparison.
It is slightly bigger, but I can deal with that. UK company too.

Recently got one of these and am very impressed. Small, Rechargable and gets good signal. Not sure what much more another radio could do.

good to see there are some good options out there. I have had at least 3 puremoves over the last 10 years, seem to start well, but deteriorate over time, battery especially. Arial is also very susceptible.

I had this one but the charge doesn't last long at all, got myself a Sony one from Argos on sale for £40 and got rechargeable batteries to use with it that lasts ages now

I think the quality has gone downhill on the pure radios now, my first one mini lasted years on building sites and fishing, the second a couple of years and the last one just months. The mrs got me a bigger one that sounded good but died after a few months again.
I use my festool work radio now, which doubles as a powerpack

Thanks for the link Sam
The white version was £16.65, got to worth a punt at that price, I bought the last one so now it's £29.95 for the black version.
Worst that can happen is I'm not satisfied and I send it back.
As for the make Azatom, not radio but I bought one of their small bluetooth speakers and was so impressed I bought a second.

I still have an original Pure move one of the first produced I no longer use it fishing
its in my bathroom where I charge it up and use it every day ! only thing I did do was break the areal off so bodged a bigger longer one on it nothing else has been changed works perfect and lasts and lasts between charges
I now use a Pure Play for fishing heavy as hell in comparison but the sound quality is outstanding so worth the weight

snap, got a mahoosive aerial on my pure move, battery still lasts for about 4 nights worth of fishing (I leave on all night so it appears to passers by that I am awake....dodgy venue

Yes snap as well.
I've had my pure move since 2006. Broke the aerial just replaced it with one from a donor player. Still on the same battery pack.
It's no good for music though fine for listening to talksport or radio 5 live in the evenings by the bank and first thing in the morning whilst having a brew.
They were a lot of money when they came out (about £70 if I remember) though portable dab players were only released a few years before.
All designed in kings Langley manufactured in China.
Then the mainstream got hold of dab (Chinese companies) the margins went down as did the quality.
Still got a Sonus 1 in the kitchen.
