I didn't expect the quality to be so high.

I bought today for points from a showcase in amazon for 697, slightly scratched, without packaging, and instructions. I set it up and it works, but the hissing from the radio is a little audible, which is of course very bad.

Not a bad product, nothing extraordinary.

Although this device is not particularly expensive, it’s a shame, however, that a defective version may have come across. There have never been any problems with Sony devices, this is the first Got pros: Three levels of dial brightness orange backlight Nice appearance Confident radio reception Cons: When the radio is turned off, interference and noises are heard from the speaker, at night you have to turn it off from the network, it is impossible to fall asleep.

Not worth the money, I will not advise this product.

I am shocked by the quality of the receiver. They seemed to choose a good brand . And the price tag was very decent for a simple alarm clock. Well, I did not expect such a lousy quality. I wonder if Sony even knows they're releasing this crap? I definitely do not recommend taking. Has some pros: Well, for the fact that this "alarm clock" would turn on, I'll throw 1 point. I'll give the second ball, for the fact that he seems to even more or less accurately keep time. For several months, he did…

An ideal product for any type of consumer.

Some pros: Beautiful design, high-quality assembly, excellent radio reception Got cons: The numbers on the displays could be bigger and brighter, and the price could be less, although what am I talking about - it's Sony!

Matches the description completely, very satisfied.

Acquisition satisfied great device for the price the main thing looks decent Its pros: Design OmniBalens is a very cool design, and most importantly, what goes well with many Sony products Easy to read display with brightness control the volume, the melody of the call itself is not annoying, on the old alarm clock all the melodies were very annoying Price Although I don’t use it, but the presence of FM is also + Has some cons I didn’t like the alarm switch, it can be difficult to get on…

The product did not disappoint, the quality pleases.

As an alarm clock radio, not bad. For some reason, it is necessary to enter the date for the settings, although then it is not displayed anywhere and is not used. I don’t catch cell phones, but when I put it next to a stationary radio phone, a quiet whistle is heard in the speaker when the radio is turned off from the interference of the radio phone. If you remove it from it, the interference disappears.

Pros
  • It picks up radio stations well, easy to use, easy to set up. There is a snooze function when you press the corresponding button.
Cons
  • Could be with two speakers, and stereo. It's a pity the tuner is not digital, but analog. Quiet alarm clock, if you select the wake-up function, not the radio, but a simple "beep".

I did not find the advantages of the product, I do not recommend it.

The overall impression is terrible. Beautiful and stylish watch with a poor design - the speaker is always energized, even when the radio is turned off in principle. In the silence of the night on the nightstand by the bed, you can clearly hear how he hisses. Catches all the pickups of mobile phones and starts clicking. It was brutally disposed of after a week of trying to get used to it and three to five unplanned wake-up calls at night due to a loud reaction (clicks of the speaker so loud…

Pros
  • Good design, easy operation, bright display.
Cons
  • Terrible speaker design - always on and not shielded.

I'm amazed! It was definitely worth the money!

The radio turns on at the volume that is set by the knob, including when the alarm goes off. If you fall asleep to a quiet sound, then there is a chance that you will not wake up quickly in the morning from such a volume :) But the complete predictability of such an analog, direct adjustment. Like it soon! If there is no power from the network, there will be no sound and indication, but when the power is restored, if no more than an hour has passed, the alarm clock will go off. That is, the…

Pros
  • Aesthetic design and convenient, thoughtful control of all modes separate buttons, even by touch backlighting and transferring the alarm for a period of 10 to 60 minutes in increments of 10, depending on the number of presses on the large key. Don't accidentally click on others! ANALOGUE wheels for radio and volume adjustment, very nice after the already boring push-button adjustments. An excellent indicator with an optimal digit size and a pleasant orange-yellow backlight with three brightness levels. It can be seen from anywhere, but in the dark it does not hurt the eyes. Time in 24 hour format. Date day-month-year are also present. Even there is a manual transition on a separate button for summer time. We, in 2022, are now irrelevant already :) Radio reception is very good! There are FM and AM bands. Classic transformer built-in power supply! This is rare, but thanks to Sony engineers for it in this particular case. For, unlike pulse converters, such a source does not give high-frequency interference, which means that for radio it is possible to make the sensitivity higher and not hear any parasitic overtones. High-quality sound, albeit with minimal, but still readable bass, from very low, for falling asleep, volume, to decent for daytime listening. Battery backup (included) in case of a power outage - the clock and alarm settings will not be reset, which means you will not oversleep. Pleasant, gradually increasing in volume and frequency of repetitions, the signal of the alarm clock itself. The alarm clock rings for about an hour if you do not press any buttons. You can set the radio as an alarm signal. There is a timer to turn off - 15-30-60-90 minutes.

The product is worse than ever, disappointed with the purchase.

This model of clock radio from Sony is made very worthy and has good enough functionality for a budget clock radio. The sound quality, radio reception are excellent, the watch itself has a modern design, pleasant dial illumination and does not take up much space. But! All these advantages are covered by one big drawback: the speaker in the clock radio always works very loudly and often catches all telephone interference. This phenomenon is observed even when the radio is turned off! When the…

Pros
  • Design, build quality, functionality
Cons
  • Picks up mobile signals

Overpriced. 500 for it maximum, taking into account the crisis. The clock has a built-in power supply - transformer. Firstly, this is the high power consumption of your alarm clock, and secondly, the cable is connected to a transformer without a protective fuse. Any short circuit and the alarm clock will turn into a fire. Such technical solutions are very fire hazardous. And the 21st century is in the yard, and the receiver is analog.

Pros
  • Sony badge
Cons
  • Very, very dim indicator. Okay, the numbers are small, but at the maximum value of BRIGHTNESS nothing can be seen. Silent alarm buzzer. Almost inaudible.

I expected more from buying, but not the worst option.

The information content of the screen is poor, with such a screen it would be possible to place, as in the case implemented on XPERIA products, a desktop clock, day of the week, the next alarm signal, and most importantly, setting the alarm settings - working days and weekends, I consider this one of the important parameters of electronic alarm clocks . Now you need to constantly remember off. alarm clock for the weekend and, accordingly, include after the weekend. This is wildly annoying…

Pros
  • A good, strict design, the radio catches perfectly, an understandable setting, the sound of the speaker is loud and clear. Liked the form factor.
Cons
  • No calendar, setting alarm options for weekdays and weekends.
