I waited for this to come back in stock. I think the sound quality is good and it’s easy to use. I think the nature sounds are creepy but who uses those. The lack of digital tuning I was aware of before purchase but now that I have it I am really missing it because the dial is really touchy. Anyway I did notice that it only has a 90 day warranty which is pretty lame for $50. Since I have been burned a few recent purchases that has me leary, I may return it.

I asked for this item for Christmas so I could have music at my desk. Big brother is blocking all streaming so internet music is out… It’s really nice. I am using the unit at my desk/cube at work. Radio (digital read-out)reception is good, CD works great, too. (I haven’t tried using MP3s yet). I also find the “waves” nature sound very relaxing and it helps block out noise around me. Unit does have a headphone jack for privacy if needed. Stylish and easy to use. Meets all my needs and at the right price.

I bought this clock because it has lots of great features: AM/FM clock radio, dimmable display, CD player, daylight-savings-time adjustment switch, etc. But the reality was one big disappointment after another. The worst disappointment was that the radio is difficult to tune accurately AND it doesn’t hold the tuning! What good is a clock radio if you tune it to your favorite NPR station at bedtime, and by morning when the alarm comes on, it’s drifted a few points up or down the dial and you wake up to static??? The other big disappointment: the lines that form the numerals are so thin that if you dim the display you can’t read them from more than 2 feet away.
The final annoyance: by the time I got so fed up with the clock and packed it up to return it, the 90 day Timex warranty had expired. Grrr… I don’t think that last complaint would have been a problem if this had come directly from Amazon, but the outside vendor, DB Roth, makes you return things to the manufacturer; they don’t stand behind the things they sell.
In summary, my recommendation is AVOID THIS CLOCK!

Love the dimmable display (4 brightness levels) and the ability to wake to my favorite CD selections. Buttons on side of unit could be just a little larger, but don’t pose any real problems as is. Dual alarm is great and easy to set with an ‘audible’ when you have succesfully ’set’ the arlarm. Audio isn’t great, but acceptable for a clock combo in this price range.

This is a great little quality clock. I like waking up to a CD or to the radio. It has two settings so you don’t have to reset the alarm very often (I set mine to 5:30 a.m. and 6:30 a.m.). It’s pretty easy to set; I can even do it in the dark. The only disappointing thing I found was, I can’t read the numbers across the room. The outlet next to my bed has never worked, so I put the clock across the room on the dresser. I have to get closer to the clock to read the numbers. I’ve never had this problem with a dark background and light numbers. But I’d buy it again for the design and nice features.
