Review on JBL Horizon Bluetooth Alarm Clock Radio with Multiple Alarms, Soothing Ambient LED Light, Automatic LCD Display, and Dual USB Charging (White, AM/FM Radio) by Anastazja Skorek ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I like everything, the quality is good, the price is reasonable.

The device was bought as a clock with a radio in the kitchen. In general, it copes with this task, but it is not very convenient to use. One of the reviews says that the front mesh is metal. Nothing like that, it's synthetic. Antenna in the form of a fairly short wiring. Not to say that the sensitivity of the receiver is high, but in Hong Kong it catches acceptable. Complaints that the alarm starts to play almost immediately at full volume do not confirm - apparently, they have already been fixed (on the box of my device it was written "produced in February 2022").

Pros
  • 1) Time is always clearly visible (the device was bought primarily as a watch), because The brightness of the display automatically adjusts to the ambient light. 2) Good sound for such a compact thing.
Cons
  • 1) There is no Russification. Due to the simplicity of the device, this is not particularly significant, but be prepared that something like "FRI AUG2022" is displayed on the calendar. Fortunately, at least the clock is set to 24-hour format. 2) Most buttons are difficult to find blindly, despite the fact that the display and buttons are in different planes. It is especially inconvenient to adjust the volume. And in general for ergonomics, I would put a C grade. 3) A total of 5 radio stations are tuned for quick selection (and the choice is one button - brute force). 4) The device is more expensive than many branded radio tape recorders with a lot more features and more powerful speakers. We will assume that this is a payment for uniqueness.
