Buzzer when listening to music

I didn't try the alarm on this dock because the buzzer in the music turned me off immediately. At first I thought maybe it was because the bass in the song was too loud, so I tried the piano piece. The same buzz. The sound is even worse than when I play songs on my iPod touch 4, so buying a dock I don't need is stupid. I bought it from Costco for $40. But I think you get what you pay for

Pros
  • Universal dock playing and charging 30 pin plug-in iPod/iPhone
Cons
  • Empty

Simple, it could be better.

First of all, this certainly works with the iPhone 4S. My biggest complaint about what others have already discussed is that you can only wake up to music from your phone/module in the device. It's just stupid. Another problem I ran into is that you should be able to choose which song/playlist/album etc. is used for the alarm. It simply uses what you last listened to as music. That can also be annoying, because the music I listen to in the car on the way home is often not the music I want to…

Pros
  • The snooze/dimmer bar adjusts the brightness of the clock face
Cons
  • Almost never

Just not loud enough

Good price so I was hoping it would be good for charging my iPod Classic which keeps my laptop shut down and listening to music in my bedroom. I had my doubts about the blue light window; One of the reasons I threw away my old one was that even on the lowest settings it was too bright. It seems to have a light setting so I was fine with that. Charging was quick. There are no problems. I would describe the sound quality as only good - actually not that good. But the reason I brought it back is…

Pros
  • Two alarm times for different alarm times: Alarm for iPod/iPhone or buzzer
Cons
  • The list is getting long.
