Difficult but worth it

For the first time in years I've had to read a step-by-step watch guide, but it was worth it. How nice is it to charge your iPhone on the bedside table and not mess around with it in the morning, and even better to wake up to the music of your choice! The display is easy to read, the iPhone fits comfortably and easily into the dock, and now that I've figured out how it works, everything should be fine. However, I'd like to have the instructions handy for future reference (but the fact thatโ€ฆ

  • Beautiful

  • Almost never

Already broken for clock radio

I bought this on July 18th and it is already broken. It no longer charges or plays my daughter's iPod or iPhone. I wasn't crazy about it to begin with. On the plus side, it's compact and the speakers were pretty good for their size, but that's where the positives end. The controls were so confusing that you had to press tiny buttons on the back to toggle the clock or alarm. Switching from iPod to radio and buzzer also seemed confusing. As other posters have said, there's a huge learning curveโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Almost everything there

Simple and effective

I bought this iPod dock with clock radio especially for using the iPod in the children's room. I wanted to be able to connect my iPod to play downloaded files with white noise while I sleep and at night. As it turns out, I use the FM radio feature almost as much as the iPod feature. Setup was quick and easy. I was able to tune into several FM radio stations without reading the manuals (and my husband makes fun of me for reading the manuals for everything). Switching between iPod and radioโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Quick replacement
Cons
  • I have no particular complaints about that, everything is fine

Great little alarm clock

This is a very reliable unit. I bought it to use with my 3rd generation iPod Nano. I had an MP3 file that played on a loop due to background noise when I went to bed. It stops repeating somewhere at night. I converted the file to acc format and this problem completely disappeared. The track plays continuously until I turn it off or the alarm goes off in the morning. The buttons are not difficult to use. Setting an alarm is easy. I like that the alarm volume is separate. For example, if I wantโ€ฆ

Great if you have Great Vision

This is a fantastic little alarm clock if you see well. First of all, I'm a young woman, short-sighted with astigmatism, not scary. I often walk down the street without glasses and it's not scary. Anyway, I've been using this alarm clock for a few days now and I just can't read the screen well at night. It's frustrating. Additionally, the first two brightness settings are literally like a night light in a room. I mean it casts shadows on the wall! The lowest brightness is normal, but even thenโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Done
Cons
  • The list will be long.

Clock/Radio Sony iPod

After finally getting my iPod nano, I decided I needed a radio with an alarm clock for it. I went through review after review from iHome, RCA, Sony and others. Didn't want to spend too much money as I only used it for my alarm clock and occasionally as a radio. I've had a Sony CD clock/radio for almost 10 years now and it worked great until last year (the CD player eventually died but the clock and radio still work). I bought this model for Christmas and am very happy with it so far. The soundโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Looking forward to
Cons
  • Crumpled

Buy on emotions.

I thought I wanted a clock radio that also charges my iPhone. I REALLY wanted a white watch to replace my old white watch with red numerals, so I ordered one even after reading the negative reviews and had a delivery date of a month or two (it only took a couple of weeks or so). the audio was decent (RCA sounded better to me). The settings were a bit tricky indeed as I was in a hurry but what I remember best is that the watch comes with dock adapters for your iProduct and I recommend usingโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Sad hardware
