Perfect for a college student with limited space but high audio taste.
from Las Vegas, NV on 7/11/2008
I love this radio. It sets itself which is absolutely fabulous and it charges and plays music from my ipod! My only problem is that the red display is a liitle too bright in a dark room so I actually had to tape a translucent blue film over it to remedy that problem.
from Roswell, GA on 7/5/2008
It sets itself!!!
from ALTA LOMA, CA on 6/15/2008
THE DISPLAY LIGHT IS A LITTLE TO BRIGHT AT NIGHT EVEN ON DIM. WE WILL BE ADDING A LIGHT TINT TO IT. HOWEVER, IF YOUR ALSO LOOKING FOR A NIGHT LIGHT THEN THIS CLOCK IS PERFECT. WHEN BUYING A NEW ALARM CLOCK, SMARTSET IS THE ONLY WAY TO GO.
from San Jose, CA on 6/6/2008
A nice product overall. FM reception is pretty bad. The user manual mentions trying to pull the power cable straight to improve it, but it didn't help at all. The AM reception is good though, which is surprising to me because all the other similar products I have tested have bad AM reception. However, I'm not buying this for listening to the radio; I bought it as an iPod player. Sound coming out of the speaker is pretty good, but it has too deep of bass in my opinion. I wish that it had a bass/treble adjustment. I particularly like the self-setting clock. It's a neat feature.
from Brooklyn, NY on 5/9/2008
It's a great product, but I had to adjust the time manually. I have another self-setting device and I doubled checked the time on the internet, and the clock was 5 minutes behind. I don't think that's really a big deal, given other than that is a good product. It has good volume and good reception.

This is a good mid-priced option for a clock radio that can charge and play your iPod. There are units that will sound better but cost much, much more. This unit sounds good at higher volumes, but it has a dark/muted tone (I set the EQ on my iPod to "Treble Booster" and this improves the sound noticeably).
My only real complaint is the Daylight Savings adjustment in conjunction with the "SmartSet" feature is awkward. If you don't care about automatic DST adjustment you can just set clock manually and forget about it. But I discovered that the unit is not programmed for the new DST dates that went into effect a year or two ago, and while the instructions explain how to change it, it's not very clear and I still had to manually adjust the time for my time zone--I think because when I bought the unit we were already on DST.
I love the "no touch" snooze feature--just move your hand in front of the unit and it goes into snooze mode. The remote is simple and easy to use. I also like being able to fall asleep to my iPod. However, you can't both fall asleep to your iPod and wake to it--at least I haven't figured out how to do that!
from Washington, UT on 4/7/2008
I was afraid I wouldn't be able to plug my Ipod Touch into it, but I can! It doesn't have the best sound quality ever, but I love that it plays and recharges my Ipods (including the Touch) and that I don't have to reset the time after power outages.
from Massillon, OH on 4/5/2008
Fit the need exactly. On one night stand we now have both IPOD capability and an always up-to-date alarm clock.
from Freehold, NJ on 2/24/2008
The sound quality is good. However, we have to put a book in front of the time because the illumination is too bright even on the low level.

Second purchase as gift for family
from AL on 2/6/2008
Easy to set and use. It is a great gift.
from Seattle, WA on 1/23/2008
No need to set the time as it is automatic.
from Houston, TX on 1/23/2008
The sound is great and it keeps perfect time. We had to get used to the brightness of the time display at night.
from Fargo, ND on 1/21/2008
This is an excellent overall product. The only downsides might be - 1) the size might be a little too large for some end tables and, 2) the sound is quite warm and dark. The latter may not be an issue for someone to whom sound quality is not a hobby. Except for the one caveat, very highly recommended!
from Long Island , NY on 1/21/2008
Just A Great Product

from Parma, OH on 1/19/2008
This product is great. You just plug it in, and it sets itself. It has multiple alarms, that are easy to set. The sound quality is also great. The only complaint would be that it needs a stronger antenna, but if you are like me, you listen to your ipod, and not the radio.
from Sumter, SC on 1/19/2008
Love it, have 2, one for each son. The adapter was not perfect for the I-pod nano but otherwise great!
from Denver, CO on 1/18/2008
This clock radio works with my ipod, or radio, or just plain alarm. You can set the alarm for weekdays only and then have a separate time for the weekend alarm (or NO wakeup on weekends). I really enjoy waking to my ipod music. And, the sleek styling is just right for my nightstand.
from WINTER SPRINGS, FL. on 1/13/2008
IT'S VERY EASY TO USE, AND VERY CUTE.
from Poughkeepsie, NY on 1/12/2008
I like the smart set feature.
from Mine Hill, NJ on 1/11/2008
Great to have an alarm that incorporates my ipod. If you don't like the snooze motion sensor, quit whining and cover it with a piece of tape.
from Basking Ridge, NJ on 1/11/2008
Really, all you have to do is plug it in and it sets itself. It's pretty cool. The time is 2 minutes slower than my cable box so I'm not sure who's running fast or, in this case, slow. The sound is great and so are the many options for alarms.
from Connecticut on 1/11/2008
Having an automatic setting clock combined with an alarm clock and IPOD capability is the reason I purchased this product. I have not been disappointed. All 3 features have worked well for me.
from Bay Area, California on 1/11/2008
This alarm clock is great! It has clear, crisp sound and I like that you never need to set the date or time. I like being able to wake up to any song I want in the morning and its functions are very simple and easy to understand. Plus, the snooze touch-less sensor works really well. It looks great and works perfectly for my needs! I bought a 2 year warranty just in case, but I'm sure it won't have any problems.

from Baghdad, Iraq on 1/4/2008
It is multi-purpose and hip
from Clarksville, MD on 1/4/2008
I bought this for my 7-year-old daughter who was getting a nano for christmas. She loves to listen to it in her room and I love not having to reset the time on her clock every day. The smartset is great!
from Lake Tahoe on 1/4/2008
I like this product because it looks cool.
from michigan on 1/4/2008
plug and go
from MA on 12/28/2007
I plan on using this for myself and for guests that are technically challanged. I got this radio for the simplicity of use (and it sounds great too).
from Salem, NH on 12/20/2007
Has two different alarm settings so both of us can use it without having to reset. I often hit snooze and love that all you have to do is wave your hand in front of the sensor.
from Colorado on 12/19/2007
Bedroom alarm clock. Enjoy docking and listening to ipod. Rich sound. Like the smart set feature already used it with power outage, worked great.
from York, PA on 12/19/2007
Excellent easy-to-use product!
from brentwood, tn on 12/19/2007

Don't have to reset after power failure or when the daylight savings time changes.
from New York, NY on 10/22/2007
The combination of iPod and radio in such a tight package is great. It's a good way to have great sound from multiple sources pretty much anywhere. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for an addition to their home audio set up.
