Sound good, alarm clock not

 

The sound on this system is great, particularly the digital radio. However if you want to use it as an alarm clock, it has a couple of irritating limitations. First, the alarm volume level cannot be adjusted below 5, which for me is too loud. It wakes...

Fantastic

 

I wanted a clock radio where the lighting could be switched off totally which this one does. The clock picked up the correct time so I did not have to set it at all. Figured out we don't have many Digital stations where I live so therefor it cannot...

Great sound, docking a nightmare

 

This unit is very stylish and one of the best looking around. Finish is very good. This sound quality from this unit is great for the size and the digital radio is a good feature. The unit has dual alarms that lets you set weekday and weekend alarm...

Looks, finish and sound quality.

Docking an ipad is very difficult and time does not show when playing digital radio.

love it

 

The best thing about this unit is that the sound is awesome and I love the display as I don't generally like it too bright and in your face. The manual is fairly useless and I'm still trying to work out if the alarm goes off in standby mode? Its new...

Sound, sound, sound

Basically working it out for myself and I agree that having the snooze button and the brightness together doesn't seem to make sense.

Consumer review (productreview.com.au)

great sound, great features.

 

The reason I purchased this item was because of its sound quality. Considering the price of mini hi fi systems, this model is good value and takes up less space. It offers a twin alarm, preset radio stations, and ipod dock. It even has a small remote...

Good design, great stereo sound, adjustable brightness for display window.

Doesnt have a CD player.

Good sound but hate that display.

 

I was really looking forward to this product until I got it home and plugged it in. Very disapointed. What is a mostly excellent product is let down by two thoughtless design elements. First, The clock display has been designed by some artistic moron...

Sound quality, DAB radio included (but no DAB services to listen too)

Unreadable Clock Display, no headphone jack, small writing on fiddly little and confusing controls/remote.

Consumer review (productreview.com.au)

Hate it

 

The user interface is not user friendly, like most modern electronics 1 button has more than one function and is confusing, the remote control is to small and fiddley also feels cheap and easy to break. The snooze button also controls the screen...

Sounds good

User interface, display, control layout, just about every thing but the sound.
