That's the one, seems much the same function wise as the other model, came with cheap in-ear headphones and a usb cable.

Picked mine up today and it is the same Ds405 model you got.
Manual states it's a 1000mah battery so definite improvement on the originally indicated model so would expect a much more usable playing time.
Rechargeable battery with micro USB socket for charging is a major bonus. Will use wee power pack as backup if required.
Very happy, cheers OP

No DAB+ with this Bush model? That's probably why they are clearing stock.

Well I left mine playing DAB radio on headphones (with backlight on all the time) and it's still going 9 hours later. I was trying to drain the battery thinking i'd give it a good charge and take it out for a test on a full battery over the weekend. New model seems much better than the old one for battery/power use.

Have reserved one for collection in the morning. The model you got looks to be better though so hopefully mine is also same.
Had a Google this evening and found another Bush model DS405 which looks identical to yours, is it possibly the DS405 you got?

Been looking for a cheap way to get DAB in my car - managed to Reserve one even though it's out of stock in most of my local stores! So all I need is an AUX Cable to use this in car?

yes the aux cable input to your car stereo should be sufficient.
I am.actually a bit concerned given the new laws and being fined for using mobile, GPS etc, we could potentially get a fine for changing the radio channel. I am all for being vigilant, safe and law abiding, but this is a concern.....
of course one should never do something that could distract ones driving ( had to put that in, in case it wasn't evident).

I've purchased today and also got the different design, more iPod like, which I prefer.
Using it as an in car solution, much cheaper than highway brand. Uses the aux cable as the aerial and has found/tuned 20+ channels with ease. Reception is good inside the car. Thanks OP.

Just picked mine up and it looks a bit different to the photo on the website - looks like they've updated the model recently. Had a quick go on it though an seems ok - and according to the manual this 'newer' version has a 1000mAh battery so maybe it'll last longer than others have found previously.

Looks good, but reviews say it has very poor battery life, but still good for the money
I had one of these, the worst speaker ever put into a radio. I love my other Pure radios but avoid this one unless you only ever want to use the 3.5mm jack.

The battery power is really low for this type of device - about 40% of average.
I don't think any pocket dab radio has am radio.
The usb is a bonus.
Need one of these for the car as my Renault Zoe only has an FM radio so I can't listen to Five Live or Talk Sport.

i have RF type shielding in the windows and will need an external aerial. GPS has trouble even in my ford focus as it has a front windscreen heater.
