Quick Summary

Pure has added three retro radios to its line up, with two featuring CD playback.

Both the Classic C-D4 and Classic Stereo Mini can play CDs, as well as stream music via Bluetooth and access a wealth of digital radio stations.

Streaming music through smartphones and smart speakers might be more common these days than digging out a CD, popping the mirrored side down and selecting your favourite track, but Pure has announced a couple of new systems to give you the best of both worlds.

Known mostly for DAB radios, the British brand has revealed three additions to its Classic product family – the Classic H6 digital stereo radio, Classic C-D4 compact CD player and radio, and the Classic Stereo Mini micro Hi-Fi system. All feature a retro vibe.

What's new in Pure's Classic range?

The Classic C-D4 offers both CD playing capabilities and Bluetooth in one package.

Shaped like a cube, the all-in-one speaker has DAB+/FM radio too, as well as Aux-In and a display on the front. There are easy to use controls, too, plus a remote control.

Pure sees it as "perfect for shelves or bedside tables" and it comes in two finishes of Cotton White and Oak, and Coffee Brown and Walnut.

The Classic H6 doesn't have a CD player, but it does have a different trick up its sleeve – a kitchen timer.

It features two 15W speakers, so delivers stereo sound. It offers both Bluetooth connectivity, plus DAB+ and FM radio. There's USB and Aux-In here too, alarm functionality and it comes with a remote, coloured display on the front and EQ presets.

Like the Pure Classic-D4, the Classic H6 comes in Cotton White with Oak or Coffee Brown with Walnut colour options.

Finally, the third retro system from Pure's is the very cute Classic Stereo Mini. This features two separate 20W speakers with 4-inch woofers.

Like the Classic C-D4, it too has CD playing capabilities alongside DAB+/FM radio and Bluetooth. There's also USB, Aux-In, equaliser presets and a remote control.

Colour-wise, it's the same Cotton White with Oak or Coffee Brown with Walnut options as the rest of the range.

The Pure Classic C-D4 costs £149.99, as does the Pure Classic H6. The Classic Stereo Mini costs £279.99. All are available now.
