5.0 out of 5 stars Best CD clock radio under $300, October 18, 2005

I own a Bose clock radio and a Bose CD clock radio. When my daughter started college, I wanted to buy her a good CD clock radio, but didn't want to spend the money for another Bose. I searched long and hard. There weren't many good choices. I first bought an Emerson SmartSet CD Clock Radio. It turned out to have two defects: the CD didn't play and the forward button didn't function. I returned it and bought this one.
This radio was built with quality. The sound quality was quite good. Most importantly, everything works, which isn't a low standard given my experience with the other radio. It even has an plug for earphones. My daughter has had it for several months now, and she is very happy with it. I think this is the best CD clock radio that you can find under $300.

Needed a new radio for the office. The 'used and new' category offered one of these new in box for $104, so I bit, and am glad I did. Everything works as advertised, and the selectable-color lighted dial was a nice suprise. The analog tuner performs better than most clock radios, though not as well as the unit's bigger digital brothers (one of which I also own). The CD section works fine so far with commercial and home-burned discs.

If I had a complaint, it would be that the long wire FM antenna isn't detachable - It's not needed where I am and is currently rolled up under the unit. From a functional viewpoint, I'd rather have a digital tuner and an analog clock, but that wouldn't look as good - and looks are definitely a big part of the package.

This unit works fine and looks good. Noise is low enough it won't drive you (totally) nuts to listen through headphones, and everyone thinks the styling is -very- cool. It is! That's worth $104 any day. Right?

4.0 out of 5 stars gorgeous looking set, August 9, 2005

The color of the illuminated ring around the dial is selectable: seven fixed colors, including three shades of blue, two of green, one each of red and violet; also, my favorite option, is to have the color vary (never does red though); the illumination can also be powered off.



The set has a nice weight (it isn't light) and feel, like it is a quality piece of equipment.



However, the bass is boomy out of the box and there are no tone controls. I corrected the boominess by partially blocking the bass reflex ports with tissue--audio enthusiasts will know how to do this (don't try otherwise)--sound quality out of the box should be fine for non-enthusiasts.



Overall, I love this set.
