THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF STYLES AND MODELS OF CLOCK RADIOS OUT THERE WITH MIXTURES OF PRICES AND FEATURES GALORE. I WANTED ONE WITH AN EARPLUG JACK TO LISTEN TO NEWS, SPORTS, ETC WITHOUT WAKING THE SPOUSE WHILE SHE SLEPT. THAT ELIMINATED 95% OF ALL MODELS OUT THERE. I DID NOT NEED ATOMIC TIMING, CD PLAYER, iPOD PLAYER, TV OR WEATHER RADIO EITHER. THIS MODEL HAD GOOD REVIEWS ON AMAZON AND WAS REASONABLY PRICED. WENT FOR IT AND GOT A GOOD DEAL! ADJUSTABLE LIGHT, DIGITAL TUNING AND 10 PRESETS, TWO ALARMS AND THE ONE WITH THE PROGRESSIVELY LOUDER CHIRP IS VERY NICE VS. LOUD BUZZERS! GOOD QUALITY FEEL TO THE SET AND CONTROLS. CAME WELL PACKAGED. THE MANUAL IS JUST ADEQUATE FOR SETTING UP THE FIRST TIME. MY ONLY COMPLAINT IS THAT ALL THE BUTTONS ON TOP ARE ROUND AND IDENTICAL TO THE TOUCH. JUST THE POWER BUTTON HAS A RED LIGHT TO INDICATE ON/OFF. TO FEEL IN THE DARK FOR A STATION OR TURN OFF THE ALARM ETC, IS DIFFICULT. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOMETHING LIKE A GREEN LIGHT UNDER THE STATION PRESETS, A YELLOW LIGHT FOR THE ALARM BUTTONS TO INDICATE ON/OFF AND WHICH ONE, AND ANOTHER LIGHT, SAY IN BLUE, THAT BY BEING HI/LOW INDICATES AM/FM. IF NOT LIGHTS, THEN DIFFERENT SHAPED BUTTONS LIKE SQUARES, TRIANGLES,& RECTANGLES MIGHT BE USED TO FEEL IN THE DARK OF NIGHT TO TURN ON/OFF, SELECT STATIONS ETC. OVERALL, A VERY GOOD VALUE FOR THE MONEY.

I was really hoping this would offer exceptional tuning. Very disappointing to tune in a station and hear static, even on NYC's strongest stations.

I read the description of the radio, including the measurements; even so, the radio is smaller than I expected. I thought I would be able to set everything up without the manual, but after a brief reading of the time and alarm settings, setting it was not difficult. Setting or changing the alarm will require numerous steps, but is not difficult. The display is pleasing and easily read from a distance or up close. It is not the usual green or blue. The sound is amazing for the size of the radio. I was a little disappointed at the large size of the electrical cord at the outlet, but considering the sound quality, oh well! I have heard the alarm or wake up to radio features yet, but that will probably be just fine considering the quality of the radio sound. I am pleased with the purchase. It is difficult to find an AM/FM clock radio without the Ipod. I also wanted a radio that was easy to change stations. I would like a remote but that is not to be expected at this price. I have previously used a Bose Wave radio with remote for my alarm, but its AM reception is not the quality of this radio. The FM reception is generally the same as the Bose except for my favorite station. Improving FM reception will require some adjustment of the antennae wire. This is an amazing little radio with excellent features and sound quality including reception for the price.

I really like this radio, which fits nicely on my night table. I use it mainly to listen to talk programs and the quality of the sound is fine for that.I do wish it picked up more stations clearly but the ones I listen to regularly come in well and at night I can pull in ones 500 miles away. Perhaps I'm easy to please as I've always had cheap radios and this one is much better. I like the sleek, low look and have found it easy to memorize which button does what so I can make adjustments in the dark.

Highly recommended. Agree with all positive reviews. HWS alarm works with headphones plugged in. Radio alarm does not over-ride the headphones when plugged in. I love falling asleep to talk radio on the headphones while my wife sleeps in peace...and I have the peace of mind knowing the HWS alarm will sound in the morning.
