    Everything I wanted in such a device, 2010-07-07 I have been using this device for a few days, since buying it new from Amazon, and have to say I am very impressed. It is easy to use out of the box (self-tunes, sets the clock etc), and I found the use of buttons very intuitive (no need to read the manual). My existing clock radio - probably 12 years old now, was starting to hum so loud, that it was waking me up. I cannot say I have heard any humming from this device at all. I also love the dimming display, based on the ambient light in the room. It means that when I wake at 2:00am, and want to know what the time is, my eyes are no longer burned out, as they used to be.
The provision of a USB charging port is inspired (my phone charges off USB), and as I am not an iPhone/iPod user, a dock limiting me to such devices really is of no interest whatsoever.
Finally, a lot has been made about the noise of the CD player, when it's spinning the disk. It is audible, which is a shame (for something of this price), but not so loud that I consider the device spoiled. All-in-all, a beautiful piece of kit!
    Nice compact unit, but poor cd player, 2010-08-17 This is a nice, small unit that would be suitable for the bedroom or kitchen. The radio is crystal clear and easy to tune in. However, the CD player is not very good quality. The sound is very quiet, you really have to ramp up the volume, the drive is very noisy, and there seem to be problems with the closing catch; you have to keep it pressed down hard until the laser reads the disc or you just get an "open" message and the disc won't play. If you're mainly buying it for the radio, it's perfect, but if you predominantly want to play CD's, go for a different model.

I bought the the Pure Chronos CD Series II to replace my alarm clock and my cd player which was not dab. I think it is a great bit of kit with excellent sound coming out of it and easy to use. Would reccommend it to anyone.
    love it, 2010-09-07 This is exactly what I was looking for. Neat, compact, easy to set up. Ideal for the bedside.
my only tiny gripe is the remote, its a bit fiddly to use.
Love the fact that you can set up different alarm times for weekdays and weekends.
Overall, it does exactly what I want it to do and I love it!
    Impressive DAB/FM/CD player, 2010-08-07 I was looking for a small CD Player with DAB radio and at last I found one. Overall this unit is fantastic, good value for money. I went through the operating manual 3/4 times and kept finding some more useful features. The clarity of radio and CD playback are good even for such small speakers. You must appreciate that this is a radio alarm clock, so do not expect a big sound; higher volume tends to distort output (sounds boxy) but it is ample for a bedroom or kitchen. As soon as it was switched on it set the time and tuned the radio stations automatically. It is fairly easy to operate. Remote handset is rather fiddly, it would have been nice to be able to key in the numbers for preset radio stations. PURE have come up with good DAB systems and I think this is one more of them.
