Buy Sony Slim Under-Cabinet FM/AM CD Kitchen Clock Radio Now
This is exactly what I was looking for to use in my kitchen. It's nice that it doesn't take up any counter space. It has an adapter for an iPod. At first I was concerned because the adapter cord is very short, but the radio comes with an iPod holder that attaches to the side so it doesn't have to reach far. The magnetic remote is also nice because I can stick it high on my fridge where the kiddos cannot get to it. I am very pleased with this purchase :)
Thanks!

Replaced an older Emerson under the counter C/D radio that finally died, and decided to upgrade and try the Sony model.It is thicker and bulkier then Emerson, has same features and sound, and cost double. The worse is this radio has terrible reception. The cord is suppose to act as an antenna and just does not work. Even attached an extension cord with no improvement in reception of some local stations. Defeats the purpose of having a radio. Would not buy this radio.Want Sony Slim Under-Cabinet FM/AM CD Kitchen Clock Radio Discount?
Just received the under cabinet radio by Sony. I was really interested in getting certain features but the quality of the sound was most important. This radio delivers nice sound volume and quality for its design and size. I am very pleased with the audio and would recommend it to those with similar concerns. I was also pleased with the capability to have 10 preset FM bands and 5 presets for the AM band. I really like the the MP3 integration feature even though it doesn't charge my iPhone while playing. It's a simple economical design with a removable side tray to hold the device when plugged in. I had no issues installing from underneath, using the template, because there was no room to use my drill above the cabinet due to height restrictions. It all worked first time. It's easy to set the clock and even has a timer. I think this was the right selection and there aren't really that many quality devices to choose from it seems.DEGEN DE208 FM AM MW SW 1-7 Clock World Band Radio Receiver Built-In Speaker

iHOME iD38LVC App-Enhanced Stereo System with Dual Alarm FM Clock Radio for iPhone/iPad/iPod - Retai

I was really excited about this iHome, because it is a nice, compact size, which wasn't much bigger than my other alarm clock. The sound is fantastic in my opinion, and I like the fact that I can charge my iPhone as well as play music. It also has the capability to play the alarms on the iHome+Sleep app on your iPhone. This feature is nice, but I was mostly looking for an alarm clock that would charge my iPhone and also play music. I am the type who just wants a buzzer alarm to wake me up. This alarm clock offers the options to play radio, music on iPod/iPhone/iPad, playlist, or a defaulted buzzer alarm if there is no device detected.
They claim that it is a "buzzer" alarm, but they could not be more wrong. It is a very weak, quiet beeping sound that starts off slow and gets faster and a tiny bit louder over a few seconds. I have been keeping back-up alarms in case this one does not wake me up, which in many cases, it has not. If you are one to need a loud alarm noise to wake you up, I do not recommend this product.
Something else that bothered me was the display. Not the layout, or the way it is set up, that is all very simple and easy to read and use. What I didn't like was the light-up screen display. It is not like a regular alarm clock where just the numbers are illuminated. The whole back of the screen is lit, and is extremely bright even on the lowest setting. This bothers me because I want to be able to see what time it is at night, but not so much light that it makes it hard to sleep.
Lastly, the otter-box case I have on my phone made it difficult to place on the dock. It takes a little while to maneuver it onto the device, but once it is on, it's nice and snug. I tried putting my iPhone on without the case, and it was much easier, but the phone wobbled back and forth and seemed to be too loose. I recommend just being gentle with the dock as it may be delicate. I did like rubbery/grippy wall that is behind the dock on the iHome in order to support the device.
I personally did not want this item to use as an alarm with my iPhone. I just wanted a buzzer alarm with the capability to charge and play music through my iPhone. This would do the trick, if you are happy with charging your phone or iPad all night and using the iHome alarm app. I was not entirely impressed with this product, I just need to find something that will fit my needs more. I would say in general it is a very nice item if you aren't too picky.
Pros
------------
Not too large or too small, fits nicely on a nightstand
Layout of buttons are simple and easy to use/figure out
Great sound through the two speaker on the front
Able to play music from iPhone or (iPad)
Charges iPhone or other device (iPad)
FM Radio
Dock features a grippy/rubbery supportive wall for docked device
Price isn't too bad for what you get
Cons
------------
Buzzer alarm is weak and too quiet for me personally (and I suspect others as well)
Difficulty placing device on dock with Otter-Box type phone cases
Seemed too loose on dock without a case as well
Display is too bright even on lowest dimmer setting
Alarm on iHome app was not very well projected through the speakers (surprised at this, there is even a setting to raise volume but did not help much)
Although there may be more good things listed than bad, the bad out-weigh the good for me. I was looking for more specific things and this product did not meet my expectations. This product has a lot of bells and whistles that seem to overpower the practical use of the alarm clock. However, Good product if you are not too picky.Didn't get this from Amazon as I got it as a gift, but decided to write a review. I had heard complaints about the display, but I didn't notice any issues with lighting being distracted when the room is dark; as you can dim the background light. Only problem I had was it was kind of hard to read the time during the day when it was bright as I had it dimmed well. The only other problem I had was there is not a buzzer sound when the phone or an ipod is docked in. When the alarm sounds it will play either the radio or iPhone/iPod music on the device. This is ok if you got a decent song setup to get out of the bed. Other than those two issues, I found the alarm to be very good. I love the the gradual volume increase for the alarm, as it gently wakes you up vs. a jarring noise right away. I also like the sleep feature to play music; I use this sometimes when I need some music to lull me to sleep. The best part is how you can just customize the use of the clock via the iHome app. I like the sound that comes from the clock radio and it is nice to be able to recharge my phone direction from the unit. I have a number of iHome products which work great with my older iPhone but which can only work with the new iPhone 5 if you have a converter. The sound from the radio is good and while the alarm isn't very loud, it is loud enough to wake both my husband and me.
The only thing I think could be improved is that the unit should come with the remote rather than with an add which suggests you buy it for another $19.99. At the price of this unit, it should have been included.
I do recommend it but note that it does not come with the remote. This was my fifth iHome alarm (the first one being the iHome iD84BZ Alarm Clock Radio for iPad/iPhone/iPod with AM/FM Presets and the second being the iHome iA17WZC Color Changing Stereo FM Alarm Clock Radio for iPhone/iPod, third iHome iD37GZC 30-Pin iPod/iPhone/iPad Alarm Clock Speaker Dock, and fourth iHome iP92BZ Dual-Alarm Clock Radio for iPod (Black)). This was the second smallest of the five, a nice compact size. The clock is a nice oval shape with all of the buttons on the top. It has all of the standard iHome options: iPhone dock, power button, snooze/dimmer button, sleep button, music controls, radio presets, time sync (you can also do this through the iHome app), and an EQ button. The back of the alarm only has the Aux-In Jack (you can use this for other MP3 players besides the iOS stuff) and the FM antenna. There is no DST switch.
The iHome can function without a device plugged in, but with an iOS device plugged in, you have access to the iHome app. The iHome app allows you to add additional alarms (the clock has one, turned off by default), check the weather forecast, check sleep stats, + some more stuff. The alarms are fully customizable, allowing you to set a flexible repeating schedule, listen to music as you fall asleep or wake up, set the volume for the alarms, choose a nap or alarm type of alarm, set reminders, and post your sleeping habits to social media sites (I don't know why you'd use that, but it's there if you want it). The app is free so you could download it right now and give it a shot before committing to the device. I really liked it at first, but an update broke it and I haven't gone back to using it since then.
I really liked the design for this device, it is a great size, the buttons seem well laid out, it is easy to dock my iPhone (I can leave the case on!), the sound is as good as my other two iHomes, and it is easy to operate. However, I have three complaints:
1) No remote. Every other iHome device I've gotten has had a remote. This one comes with a advertisement to buy a remote for $19.99. Considering the price of the device, it should come with a remote.
2) The display is too bright. I might be a little more sensitive to light than most people, so it might not be that big a deal. But the background of the clock face is a light color and the numbers are dark, which is the inverse of my other clocks. Even on the dimmest setting the light bothers me.
3) The back of the dock makes it harder to dock iPhones with cases on.
When I pulled this device out of the box, I felt like our relationship would be a long and joyous one. But the flaws just were too much for me. However, I won't let my peculiarities stand in the way of my recommending this clock. If you aren't bothered by a bright display and don't mind not having a remote, then this clock is a great one to get.

Problem #1: The alarm function is deeply flawed. When you set an alarm for the next morning, the audio system must be off (radio, ipod, etc.). This is terrible because if you charge your phone on the dock and the phone sends a sound signal to the device it will cause the audio system on which disables the alarm.
Example:
Set an alarm 6AM for work a week ago with my phone charging overnight (typical usage). Someone sends me a text at 1AM in the morning, triggering the sound system to turn on. Alarm does not go off at 6AM because the sound system is on.
This has occurred numerous times and now I find that I don't even bother charging the phone when I sleep in fear of being late to work. I've missed work many times because of this failed alarm, and just recently figured out why this was happening.
Problem #2: The glue holding the remote holder magnet has ceased to function and my magnet plate just comes off. My remote sits on top of the alarm now.
Problem #3: When you snooze your alarm, this raises the dimmer level also. This causes frustration as my dimmer levels are always different everyday.
Problem #4: The LCD panel can only be seen if you are looking down at the product. This was a minor inconvenience for me, as I just raised the level of the product.
Problem #5: The LCD's lowest setting is too bright for nighttime.
This product has been a very frustrating experience and has placed a negative light on the iLuv brand. I am past my return period and have just submitted a support ticket at iLuv's website. Will keep this review updated to see what happens.

When I was looking at this radio on-line, the idea seemed to be great, so I got it for my husband's night table. He liked it at first, but then he realized that some of the features make it unusable for him. For instance, the LED display is too bright even when it is set to minimal brightness. The numbers on the display cannot be seen from a bed (you can only see them well enough when you stand in front of the alarm). There was not enough options to control ipod using the remote control. iphone in a protecting sleeve cannot fit into the connector, so my husband never used it to recharge his iphone.This product has excellent features, as you've probably read. My only suggestion for the manufacturers is that they might want to make the display less bright. Even though you can regulate the brightness, I have to turn it all the way down at night because it emits a blue-ish glow. However, every time I hit the snooze button, the brightness goes up, so that's why at night I have to turn it down. But otherwise it's a great alarm clock.Well I really read the other reviews through before picking this up, so I knew the problems with it as an alarm. I picked this up soley to have a dual iPod charger/stereo/clock. For this reason I give it 5 stars. The blue is a bit bright but it doesn't bother me too much, it works a bit as a nightlight for me at night. I love having two chargers set up in a house of seven, I know it will get a lot of use! There are five ipods between the seven of us so we will be working it! Also I really wanted a speaker for mine, my sister had bought me one for Christmas that took batteries but this one plugs right in so I won't have to go through as many batteries, solves many problems for me. Definitly many pluses and problem solvers for me already! It is a nice machine minus the complaints about the alarms which I haven't even bothered with, I am used to using my cell phone anyways! But as a dual iPhone/iPod charer and speaker charger and stereo set it is a great system and I highly recommened it!this item doesnt even keep time correctly. it is a confusing radio to operate and the writing on the face to tell you what the buttons do is so terribly hard to read. the noaa is the only thing that operates the way it should. ohh and the docking stations wont charge our phones any more. do not buy this item you will be sorry. total waste of money!Benchmark - DAC-1 -HDR - Preamplifier / DAC / Headphone Amp BLACK

After subscribing to Stereophile for decades I have noticed a recent trend that virtually every DAC they review is compared to the writer's Benchmark DAC1. Some are better, some are different and some just don't compare, but they're all compared to the Benchmark. So if every Stereophile contributor owns a DAC1 maybe I should just buy a DAC1?
A call to Benchmark suggested that I retire my trusty CJ SC-26 pre-amp and just go with the HDR. The reasoning was that the extra interconnect and redundant pre-amp would be detrimental to the sound versus just using the HDR. They also told me, confirmed by Stereophile, that the DAC1 PRE and DAC1 HDR do sound better than the straight DAC1. I purchsed direct from Benchmark as I figured that nothing was good enough to satisfy me and I would be taking advantage of the 30-day money-back guarantee. Nope.
Yipes is this thing good. Clean, fast, tight, smooth, uber-imaging, yada yada yada. It's fed by a Logitech Squeezebox Touch (from Amazon). Really.

Buy Clarity 600 Wake Assure Alarm Clock With Bed Shaker Now
If i could give this alarm 0 stars I would. It is terrible. The lamp, snooze, and reset functions are all in the same button. The lamp is one thing but the snooze and the reset are the exact opposite things!! If you accidentally hit the snooze button twice, the thing shuts off. Countless mornings I'd wake up and not hear my alarm sounding wondering how it turned off. I originally bought this because after 2 1/2 years my sonic boom vibrator failed me and I received no support cause I was out of warranty. I was upset with the company. Today I just ordered a new sonic boom. I would pay the same for 2 1/2 good yrs out of sonic boom than for a lifetime with the wake assure. Terrible product design.Read Best Reviews of Clarity 600 Wake Assure Alarm Clock With Bed Shaker Here
My wife will tell you that I could sleep through anything. My previous alarm clock was one of those that starts soft and gets louder. Unfortunately, I would subconsciously hit the snooze button on several instances before it got loud. As a result, I consistently got into work later than I'd like.This clock is different. It has an alarm that starts loud and stays loud. The tone of the alarm and the loudness can be set. The flashing lamp is a nice feature too, although I would have been perfectly happy if the lamp just turned on instead of flashing; my previous one had a lamp control but it wasn't tied into the alarm, which made that feature mostly useless to me. I don't use the bed shaker, so I can't comment on it.
Let me clarify one thing that was not obvious and that I consider important: the snooze button acts as an on/off lamp control, whether the alarm is active or not. If the alarm is set to flash the lamp and you press the snooze once when the alarm first sounds, the lamp goes off; if you press it twice, the lamp stays on. If you have the clock set in Auto Snooze mode and you've turned on the lamp since the alarm first sounded, the lamp will flash when the alarm sounds again but will stay on when you press the snooze button once. This is well thought-out in my opinion.
Want Clarity 600 Wake Assure Alarm Clock With Bed Shaker Discount?
This is a 30 day review.I am a sound sleeper and also hard of hearing, so a normal "loud" alarm won't cut it for me. My Sonic Boom clock is at least 2x louder than this one, but after 14 months the bed shaker quit working. I was never really happy with the bed shaker on the Sonic Boom because the on-off cycle was too fast. I thought Id try this clock.
PROS: The bed shaker is alot better than the Sonic Boom at waking me up. The on-off cycle is about 3 seconds compared to shy of one second on the Sonic Boom. I rate the bed shaker 5-stars.
CONS: 1) Others have commented on the snooze/reset button, and I agree that it is a poor design. 2) I can't get the alarm to be loud enough and the tone is too easy to change. I keep on having to adjust the tone to my liking. 3) The light on the alarm is a wimp compared to the Sonic Boom. I have not tried to plug in a lamp yet, but may try that later.
Right now I am using both alarm clocks; the Sonic Boom for the super-loud alarm and bright LED light built into the clock and the Wake Assure for the bed shaker. Most of the time the bed shaker will wake me up enough to hear the Sonic Boom that comes on 2 minutes later.
I only wish there was one alarm clock that would contain the PROS of both the Sonic Boom and the Wake Assure.I bought this as a final attempt to waking up on time. I have purchased a dozen clocks that say super loud and they are not. So i thought maybe i could build one using car horns. So i started this quest and with many failures i decided to buy the Clarity 600.
It is perfect you can change the sould level and tone or pitch of the sound, you can hook up a hologen light up to it to flash and also act as a security light or just tap the snooze button and it will turn on. The vibrating disc that goes under the bed in nice comfy almost like a massage, but it does wake you up.
All in all i am 100% satisfies with this purchase
