4.0 out of 5 stars Much better then I anticipated, June 12, 2009

By	Martin Mulcahey - See all my reviews

I did not believe that the sound quality of streaming music would be as good as it is with this radio, given other reviews, and I am very satisfied with the audio and easy setup of this radio. The radio picked up my Wifi immediately and loaded my stations from Reciva in a few seconds. I would have given the radio five stars, but the remote control is not as high quality as the radio itself. It feels flimsy (bubble type number pads) and it is either too sensitive (after selecting my streams it would pick the first station right away) or at times seems to lack range. No happy medium :-) That is it though, this is an otherwise excellent radio and gives more features than other Internet radios for half the price. Just as an aside it also has a nice auto sleep feature and alarm clock.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great clock radio!, May 28, 2009

By	Julie A. Fujita "flying whitney" (Newport Coast, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Great clock radio that comes with ar remote. Most of the products out there can't even come close because of the lack of quality. Once we figured out how to program this in English (wasn't hard - customer service is great), it was easy! Tons of stations and the remote makes it so easy. Shipping was super fast. Great vendor!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great sound, but a bit complicated to use., July 8, 2009

Amazon Verified Purchase

I just got this a couple of days ago. I was able to set it up to connect to my home wireless network, no problem. Set it up with a few of my favorite stations, and the sound is very, very good.

You can even set an account at [...], set up your favorite radio stations there, and then browse through them on this radio (as opposed to searching using the radio then saving as presets).

As a clock radio by the bedside, however, it may not be best for everyone. None of these are major issues, but you should know about these things.

Using the remote at your bedside is not all that practical. But it's easier to use most of the functions using the remote than using the controls on the radio itself.

The clock only displays 24-hr format, not 12 hr am/pm format (I called and this was verified by the company).

The backlight is pretty darn bright, even at its lowest setting.

Setting the alarm and sleep time is kind of a pain, need to go through a couple of levels of menus.

Overall I did give it 4 stars, it has great sound, and it's a nice looking unit, too.
