I bought this as a low cost alternative to some of the other iPod clock radios out there and returned the first one because I was getting the same loud hissing out of the speakers like previous consumers have stated. When I exchanged it for another one, I got the same hissing. I tried multiple cradle adaptors and was about to return it again when I pulled the iPod up very slightly from the docking station. Once I did this it was crystal clear. Turns out the docking station plug is taller than most other iPod charger docks and puching it too far will create the interference.

Sorry for being long winded, but long story short, now that I have it figured out, the sound is fine and for a workplace music player this is just the thing I was looking for. Knowing what I know now about, I would recommend it.

This thing is fine if you want it for a kitchen or bedroom. Light weight and small makes it good for camping or BBQ's. Sound is pretty tinny especially at higher volumes. Not recommended for large rooms or for your only sound system.

Looked good but sound was not very good. Power switch broke the first day. I returned the system.

This is not a bad choice if you are looking for a clock radio for your workplace. It does not play an iPod as the alarm, so using it as a bedside alarm stinks.

The adapter for the Nano is total junk. It does not fit in the slot at all without major modification and even then it will not allow a Nano user to plug it in.

As stated prior, the connecter is poor. It distorts with the smallest movement of the ipod, so surfing through songs while on the dock should not be done. If you wish to surf, then I suggest one uses the aux input on the back. The clock does come with a cord to plug an audio device into it.

The saving grace of this unit is the sound. Its good, not great, but good. I also like the seperate batteries for clock and speakers. This way one can change the batteries for the speakers without resetting the clock and alarm.

man i have been looking for an ipod radio with digital tuning for a long time. this one is just right, not to much cash for it and it is clear at high volume.
