Tons of technology, but don't throw away your old clock radio! [Posted on 2007-12-09]
Just got this the other day. Here are my thoughts:
* Gadgetry
Okay, this thing has all the technology - It's got bluetooth connectivity, including the ability to play music from another device wireless and answer phone calls (built-in mic). It has an SD card slot, and a USB slot for other devices (haven't tried this out yet). It has an iPod dock. It'll even rip your CDs. I haven't seen anything on the market with this many options.
* Ease of Use (Interface)
This is where things start to go a bit off. It's not the easiest device to use. The display doesn't show the most relevant information. For example, if you're looking at it in bluetooth mode, it just keeps repeating the words "BLUETOOTH" in caps on the screen. But that's redundant because I already know that fact due to the big flashing blue light in the corner. Also, though this thing looks like a clock radio, it doesn't function very well as one (it rarely shows the time throughout the various functions - alarm is hard to set).
* Sound
It's fair - Not a whole lot of bass, mids are a little muddy, highs are very nice. Having said that, I don't have a comparable reference - I'm comparing it to my home stereo system and the bose wave radio.
* Quality / How's it Look
A good looking device - Definitely doesn't look cheap. It's got a big back end on it, but overall isn't too large. Fits on my nightstand just fine. The buttons are a little plasticky.
* In Summary
I'm going to continue using it - if only because there's no stereo out there that has this mix of features. I bought a bluetooth adapter for my ipod touch. It's very cool that I can be sitting anywhere in my bedroom and picking music. And if it runs short on batteries, I can drop it right into the ipod dock. But... I'm going to have to dig my 15-year-old clock radio out of the closet.
cool! [Posted on 2007-12-13]
great radio!
not too loud tho, thats its only flaw. everything else is great. easy to use everything. good for a lil reunion of about 5 but not good enough for a party.
the bluetooth feature is awesome!

Great product with so many features. However, can be complicated to work some of these features.
Sounds atleast as good as bose [Posted on 2008-03-29]
I bought this for my samsung p2 for the bluetooth but this little bad boy sounds sweet i was surprised i just wanted something for when i was working around outside and the likes but at same volume's it sounds as good at my home system. The only neg. is with the usb it wont connect to p2 as in it just say's reading onscreen so i cant "At the moment" rip straight from cd to p2 but i hope a firmware update will take care of that and yes it does look like a high priced clock radio but i can crank it up and hear it throught the house, well worth the money and if you were silly enough to buy an ipod it's still worth the money !!!! JK LOL
