The On Time 200ID has very clear, powerful sound. Very good FM radio reception with fully extended pigtail antenna. It has tons of features: 1. You can fully customize your alarm settings (wk day, wkend, spec day) and the buzzer has an ascending volume feature that gently wakes you up (same as in radio/i-pod settings) 2. Because it is digital, you can see the station info (e. g. current song, artist, call letters) and it simultaneously show the current time in bigger font than the radio station 3. fuly illuminated controls that I don’t have a hard time finding them. the brightness is adjustable but some people may have some difficulty with it’s lowest settings. 4. Although it doesn’t have any bass or treble controls, it responds well when I adjust the EQ setting from my I-pod, AND the remote is a FULL FUNCTION remote (e. g. has menu and enter buttons) other Ipod radio remotes don’t fully control the Ipod ( I have a 4G nano) This is an excellent bedroom clock/radio/I-pod speaker system If you don’t mind some brightness that looked like a night light beside your bed

Any would-be purchasers of this who intend to rely on the system as an alam clock–take note! The volume level for the alarm is pre-set in the factory to a VERY high level and cannot be changed. I nearly had a heart attack the first morning when it sounded. After much fiddling with the controls and a more review of the manual (and several more near heart-attacks), I finally e-mailed JBL directly to ask how to set the volume lower. Their response was very succinct: “Unfortunately, the volume level is fixed for the alarm. It cannot be changed. “
