Sharper Image Sound Soother Cd Player Clock Radio Si585

This has decent sound, if somewhat flat and neutral. Maybe not worth the asking price, but try to find one on clearance. One criticism is that the volume control between 3 and 4 is much too great, it needs to be less of a jump. Also, the clock illumination is very bright even on the dimmest setting. Still, the sound is pretty good for a clock radio. However, the price should include a CD player or should be less expensive.

there is not a good volume for falling asleep to....level 1 is too soft and level 2 is way too loud. needs to be more gradual. but the unit looks very nice and performs well other than that.

I was searching for a specific product that included every feature I needed in an alarm clock; the Sharper Image's EC-B145 Clock Radio iPhone/iPod Dock featured exactly what I needed and more. Although a little pricey, I felt as if 100 dollars was a decent deal, at the time. For six months I enjoyed all the luxuries that this clock radio promoted which included great sound quality, a simplistic yet modern design with a straight-forward display, and a perfect size to display on a desk.

However, after those six months, the Sharper Image's EC-B145 Clock Radio became unreliable. The first complication that occurred, which sparked a domino effect, was that the remote suddenly stopped working; the clock radio ceased to respond to the buttons being pushed on the remote. It created a bit of a hassle and was very inconvenient to manually control the product. After the problem with the broken remote, the dock for the iPod bent forward making it impossible to connect the music player to the dock. In other words, the main component for this clock radio was now inoperative. My choices to replace my soothing iPod music that I normally wake up to was either the cloudy FM radio channels or the piercing beeping noise that mimicked the annoying sound of a smoke alarm. I had to resort to the alarm on my phone to awake me so as to wake up to a sound that won't be an irritation or give me anxiety. After the dock broke, I noticed that the buttons didn't always work correctly. The machine didn't respond until after the button was pressed several times, and even then it may confuse your command with what button was actually pressed. For example, often times I would attempt to reduce the volume by pressing the appropriate button yet the display screen read that I increased the volume. This product's value spiraled down quickly after all of those complications.

What was once gratifying to have is now defective and worthless. This clock radio turned out to be just another product that seemed great while still in the box, that is, until you use it. The proficient sound quality still remains but I refuse to listen to its fuzzy radio stations or its unpleasant, high-pitched noise. The sleek yet contemporary design still prevails but its modern lay-out is irrelevant if it's defective. At least it still doesn't take up too much room on my desk. Overall, this product ended up being a disaster to deal with. Other than its ability to show the correct time of day, the Sharper Image's EC-B145 is not worth the buy.
