Music sounds... well, musical. There's a good sense of solidity and tunes have a togetherness that can't be heard on the rest. This is easily the stand-out performer.

With the new PocketDAB 1500, PURE Digital is spoiling us. Not only is it placing an almost limitless supply of DAB stations at our undeserving fingertips, it's also providing half-decent Sennheiser headphones to boot - MX300 in-ears are a welcome addition and should perform much better than your standard, pre-packaged tat.
