Philips DC190 iPod Docking Clock Radio review: Philips DC190 iPod Docking Clock Radio

 

Philips DC190 iPod Docking Clock Radio

Dual alarm clock; fold-away iPod dock; slick, mirrored design; 3.5 millimeter line-in.

Subpar audio quality; no remote; FM-only radio; both alarms must use same source.

If you don't mind the well-below-par sound quality and lack of a remote, the DC190 is one of the most affordable iPod alarm clock radios we've seen.

No battery back up

 

Seemed like a nice clock, however, it does not have a battery back up as listed on the website. I returned it due to the lack of that feature.

Super!

 

Exactly what I was looking for and the price was great! The only thing was that I didnt realize it had no battery back up.

Great clock for the price

 

I was hesitant to buy a refurbished clock at first, but I thought it can't be worse than the failing iHome clock I was using at the time. This Philips clock works great and the speaker volume is great for playing throughout my home.

Nice Product

 

This is exactly what I was looking for and the second alarm option is great, especially for those that like to hit the snooze!

Phillips DC190 iPod Clock Radio

 

It is a nice looking piece of equipment small and compact and looks more expensive that it was. However that is all I can say about it as it was purchased as a gift,but my daughter was very pleased with it and she is particular about what she wants.

No room for Clutter

 

Received this for a christmas present. Have removed my clunky old stereo and replaced with my Philips IPOD Docking station, best thing I ever did.

Reliable, Great Sound and compact

Excellent

 

A great little multipurpose alarm clock/radio/mp3 docking station. It is obviously meant for a bedroom setting rather than a living room as the sound would not fill a large room but the audio in the bedroom is fantastic - we tried quite a few different...

Very easy to use - we bought this for our 10yr old daughter and she has no problems using it. We also particularly like the dual alarm function - we have one alarm set for Mon-Fri for school and the other alarm for the weekend. It is very compact so...

The docking station doesn't suit all mp3 players - it does come with adaptors in the box though.
