Pure Evoke Mio in Radios

Pure Evoke MioPicture

Almost identical in every way to the Pure Evoke 1S, the Pure Evoke Mio has a more expensive-looking leather finish - and a correspondingly higher price. It does have an in-built charger, but we care more about performance than snazzy looks and features so we gave the Pure Evoke Mio to our listening panel to see how it went.
