The Sensia is an excellent radio. There’s no other word for it. It’s also no exaggeration to say this is a game changer. Nothing can — yet — hope to compete with that bright, [colorful] screen or the intuitive controls it affords. If nothing else, it helps you explore radio like never before: you’re not afraid to tune off into the unknown when it’s so easy to get back to your [favorites], commented Nicholas James of CNET UK.

We’ve seen internet radios before but not with a screen of this size and quality – and the interaction that is created thanks to the large screen really lifts the Sensia. Digital radios have long supported RDS – which shows information about the radio station, such as song title being played – but the Sensia takes this further when listening to internet radio stations, commented UK Consumer Review Website ‘Which.’ For the full review, visit: http://www.which.co.uk/reviews-ns/pure-sensia-radio/index.jsp.
