A Few Features That I Like (And the One That I Don't):, November 8, 2008
Features I like:
*sound options! I can fall asleep or wake up to nature sounds, my iPod, radio, or alarm.
*size and shape -- smaller, more stylish than the clunky, traditional rectangular clock radios, and so it fits nicely on my small nightstand
*iPod docking station can be modified with the various inserts included to accommodate any type of iPod.
*3 settings for the back lighting on the time -- bright, slightly less bright, and "off" -- a big plus for those who don't like the glare of the clock radio in the middle of the night. I use the "off" setting for the weekends . . . then I know that I really don't have to get up! Yaayy!
Only problem with the "off" setting is that you can only see the time in a light room, not in a dark room. I don't like the light, but I also am one of those people who needs to glance at the time during the night. I have always remedied the problem of excessive glare by draping a small piece of sheer colored fabric across the front of any clock radio that I've ever owned . . . softens the light but I can still see the time.
The one feature I don't like:
* mirror-like finish shows every dang fingerprint and smudge! A little artistry is required when wiping clean or you will inadvertently click on the buttons and change your settings.
All in all, not a bad clock radio! If they could just tweak it a bit (like making a dimmer setting that would be genuinely dim but still show the time in a dark room, and losing the smudge-prone finish) it might be a near perfect product.

Great Clock Radio/iPod/Nature Sounds Device, October 31, 2008
The Homedics (or HMDX, as the company seems to be re-labeling itself) Speaker Dock offers all the options you'll need in an alarm clock: multiple sound input/outputs; a long, easy-to-find snooze bar; a visible digital display; intuitive set-up; a sleep timer; accessible controls: and a sleek design. You can use this unit to play or wake up to your iPod, AM or FM stations, or "white noise" nature sounds. The nature sounds (ocean, rain, forest, etc.) are perfect for insomniacs who need to listen to restful sounds before they can fall asleep, but they also work well to wake you peacefully, without the jarring electronic noise of the regular alarm.
The clock radio is oval shaped: 8.5" wide x 5.5 " deep x 3.5 " high. The display may be too bright for some, especially since you cannot dim it, but I got used to it right away. If you need your bedroom to be pitch dark, however, you might want to look into another brand.
This sturdy clock radio offers excellent value because of its relatively low cost and high number of features. Even people who don't own an iPod may find that this clock radio is exactly what they want. Recommended as a gift for everyone, from middle schoolers through senior citizens.

Great clock radio/iPod dock, December 28, 2008
This is a great clock radio/iPod dock. It works great, and the sound quality is amazing. At first I thought mine didnt come with the 3rd generation ipod nano dock adapter, but it was already in the clock radio. It is very easy to use, and works great. It also looks very nice. Im glad I purchased this iPod dock. I couldnt believe how good the sound quality is. Also, the light on the clock is very bright, but is has 3 settings. Bright, Brighter, and off. It also has 2 alarms, and you can wake up to either nature sounds, radio, buzzer, or your iPod.
