Excellent Sound - ipod dock weak
"Great sound quality, radio reception, styling and user interface. Runs too hot for my liking in just standby mode. Let down by a faulty ipod docking connector and no mechanical support to the ipod itself. A curious but obvious oversight is that it doesn't display the time when the radio is on? Also found the entire display was backlit (blue) and quite bright which was annoying at night when one is trying to redu..." Read Full Review »

Best Uses
"We have had a range of clock radios over the years. Most have had overly complicated controls that seem designed to frustrate tired people running on too little sleep. We've also had a long range of iHome units that we've liked, but have been unacceptably fragile.
We spent more for the Boston Aco
