Intempo PG01 vs Pure Evoke 2 - Radio

Which receiver has the best sensitivity when it comes to picking up DAB in outer-fringe reception areas the intempo PG01 or Pure Evoke 2?

I have the Intempo which picks up everything there is around here - both DAB and FM...

The sound quality is definitely up market portable rather than HiFi - and of course it is stereo, whereas the basic Evoke is mono.

You pays your money etc etc, as the Evoke stereo version will relieve you of around £150!

Happily, all of them have a stereo headphone output...

So it's up to you...

I decided to go for the intempo PG01 and i was rather disappointed with it to be honest, the whole unit vibrates at high to full volume and the sensitivity was on a par with my portable Perstel DR101.
Glad i got it from argos so i can take it back and go for the Pure Evoke 2 instead

How loud do you listen to it?

I'd be interested to know which portable set didn't vibrate at full volume...

I guess it would vibrate as its a small unit

That's an interesting concept - a small vibrator that plays music - there must be a market for that somewhere...
