Elegantly Designed Controls, Great Sound

"My wife and I use this radio as an alarm clock in our master bedroom, and for the most part we love it. Our 15-year-old clock radio was finally showing signs of an imminent demise, so it was time to go shopping. After a quick survey of the options, I started to feel that it must be prohibitively expensive to design an alarm clock that doesn't look and feel like a plastic shrine of ghastliness. Waking up in the..." Read Full Review »

Good sound, but don't like the display

"I own 3 models of Boston Acoustics radios and they all deliver very good sound from small packages. I use the Solo as a clock radio. It works fine and is easy to use. I would give the Solo 5 stars except for the display...it is too bright even in the lowest display brightness setting. The entire rectangular display glows blue with the characters glowing lighter blue. This is fine during the day. But, late a..." Read Full Review »

"I have been in the market for a bathroom clock/radio to replace a unit we have used for over 10 years. My wife and children all listen to different stations, so a digital tuner is a must. I like a rich, full sound, so many of the clock/radios on the market don't measure up.

Many reviews claimed …" Read Full Review »

"I like great sound everywhere I am. My bathroom needed a great sound in a small package. Folks, this is it. Its controls swivel portrait as well as landscape.

The sound is terrific with a heavy clean bass. The unit has bass and treble controls and I needed them to turn down the bass.

"This is a bedside clock-radio for me.
