Customer Review: Very Happy
Summary: 4 Stars
This product does just about everything I want out of it. The sound quality is a lot better than I thought it would be, and it's great for listening to music in your room. However, it is no match for a regular sound system, but that's not why you're buying this product. It works great as an alarm allowing you to wake up to whatever song you want and it can start at different parts of the song.
There's only two things that could be better and thus keep it from getting 5 stars. First is the clock light. Yes, the level of light is adjustable, but it is from off, to real bright, to brighter, to brightest. The lowest level of light is still pretty bright. If I'm real tired, it won't bother me, but if I'm not that tired, it will keep me awake. So I often end up just turning the light off all together. The two higher levels of brightness are totally absurd and unnecessary. The lowest level should be the brightest possible level.
The other real con is the alarm sound. The sound levels are numbered, with 0 being no sound and 40 being the loudest. The lowest level of sound that the alarm can be set to is 10. I'm assuming this was a "safety" feature of sorts, so you never accidentally set the alarm with the sound being muted or barely audible (then you never wake up). My problem is that 10 is a little too loud. I bought this ipod alarm clock because I had broken the last several regular alarm clocks because the loud screeching alarms made me homicidal (think Bad Santa). So this sound level will sometimes give me that jolt when waking up in the morning. Now this can be countered with a really low key song or if you have older mp3s that are already quieter than normal.
I went into a lot of the details on the cons, so you know what you're getting. However, this is still a 4 star product (maybe 4.5) because these cons can be somewhat neutralized (just turn off the bright light, find a quieter song). Other than these two issues, I am very happy with this product. The remote is great, the sound quality is the best of any clock radio I've ever heard, and it works great with my ipod. I strongly recommend it.
