Sony (SY-ICF-CD7000) (white) Clock Radio

Pros: Battery back-up Great speaker quality Super flexible alarm modes Sleek design and coloring
Cons: Illumination level of the display could be lower, thought it isn't unpleasant.

I bought this alarm clock kind of on a whim... not realizing at the time the amount of features it has. It is super easy to find radio stations thanks to it's digital tuner. The the snooze bar also controls a blue illumination light which has three ...

Pros: Sleek style, digital volume control, selectable wake-up source and volume, battery back-up
Cons: Hard-to-find alarm reset button, so-so FM reception

Pros: Sensitive and selective tuner, handy digital tuning with 5 presets.
Cons: Not much volume before clipping distortion, display hard to read from angle.

Pros:

Battery back up, digital tuner, snooze, pre-sets, two alarms, MP3 connection, nap, and more

Cons: none (the visual design is a bit odd at first)

Pros: A nice shade of blue
Cons: Impressive at a trade show, useless in real life

An absolute useless piece of flotsam. I only wanted something to listen to books on CD on my nightstand. Instead, I got this flimsy, ridiculously complicated piece of plastic that is now on its way to St. Vincent DePaul. Why don't tech-geniuses take the lead of Bose and strive to make things simple instead of geek-friendly difficult.
Tiny control buttons; impossible-to-find volume control; flimsy CD door ---- all in a lovely shade of blue.
