Review: I have owned my Evoke 1 for a considerable time now. I always wanted a stylish radio for my home office and decided that when DAB became available at a reasonable price then that was the way to go. Originally it took me months to track one down, but wow, was it worth the wait! The Evoke scores full marks in both form and function. Easy to set up, easy to use, excellent quality sound, very easy on the eye and a joy to use. Tuning is simple and easy and all the controls have a quality feel about them. A few reviewers have commented about the lack of portability. This is only a down side if you need it to be truly portable.
If I am working in another room for a few hours I am happy to take the mains adapter and plug it in there - No more hassle than having to change the batteries regularly and much cheaper. I have not qualms about the fact that my Evoke will not run on batteries. A number of reviews also say that they have not / will not bother with the extra speaker. Well, I would say, think again! I had mine for a few months before getting the extra speaker & I believe that it is an excellent addition, with great quality stereo imaging. Obviously if you can plug your Evoke into your hi-fi then don't bother with the extra speaker, but if you use it regularly where you don't have a full hi-fi system, then it is money well spent. So, is there any bad news? Well, I am struggling to find any but would agree with a comment made elsewhere.....I have mine on my desk, which means I look down on the display, which makes it a little difficult to read! OK, no big problem, but that is how good the Evoke is. Conclusion - If you are reading this you are interested in an Evoke, don't read any more, go ahead and buy one. You will not be disapointed. |
