Customer Reviews
great for the price
This is my first review but i was so impressed with this that i thought i would comment to assure others the one review is not a one off.
This was bought for my son who at 9 finds it easy to use. The sound quality in my view is excellent for both ipod and radio. We havent even bothered with the buzzer. He wakes up every morning to his fully charged ipod so no recharging if you suddenly decide to go out for the day. The volume can be as quiet or as loud as you like. He has it quiet and finds it a really nice way of waking up. I have also used it in our large open plan kitchen and sound quality has been just as good. We are even thinking of buying another. Whilst i am no expert on these things i think you would be hard pressed to get anything better for the price.
I really like it. But if you want one you should know....
I really like this product, it does everything I want from it with ease. It looks pretty good, sounds pretty good and is fairly simple to set up (instructions always pretty important). I recommend it to pretty much anyone that wants to be woken up by their own style of music rather than whatever the radio has to offer.
There are 3 things that anyone buying one of these should be aware of before they do so.
Firstly, if you cannot sleep in anything but complete darkness you won't like this product. The panel that displays the time has a backlight with 3 dimmer settings, dim, bright and brightest, but there is no OFF. This is not a problem for me, but it may be for some people.
Secondly (some people might consider this a good thing) the bass on the product is pretty beastly! I was very surprised by the quality of it... however I would say that for a product that is supposed to serve as an alarm it is TOO loud compared to the rest of the sound. The first time I was woken up by it (at 05:50) I couldn't help but think that the bass would carry through to my next door neighbours just the other side of the wall and wake them up. This can be remedied by changing the equaliser on the iPod to "reduced bass", but then it sounds wrong through earphones during the day, so must be constantly changed back and forth. Only a slight inconvenience, but in inconvenience none the less.
Finally the only thing that I really don't like about this product, the fact that (as far as I can tell) there is no way of stopping the iPod from charging when it is placed on the product, which means that every time I want to go to bed (and wake up by iPod in the morning) the iPod has to go on charge, and the constant charging damages the battery of the iPod. The only way to avoid this as far as I am aware is either to not use your iPod at all during the day, or use it so much that it's nearly out of battery and NEEDS the charge at the end of the day.
If none of those things bother you I happily recommend this product. I really like it, and to be honest even if I would have known those things before I bought it I still would have got it. Nevertheless anyone buying this product should be aware of its possible reasons to send back before they actually have to do so.
4/5
Excellent! - Especially at this price.
Bought this for the bedroom, but it's almost a shame to leave it there, so will probably buy another one. The sound quality is excellent and will easily cope with bigger rooms. Clock is clear and I don't have any problems with the brightness, radio is easy to tune and again sound quality is good.
