Great sound for the money!

"The best iPod player I've heard for [...]. The fact that it has a CD player and an FM receiver was icing on the cake! Most of the other iPod speakers I listened to sounded pretty so-so. Most had hardly any bass response and they cost the same or more. The Bose system sounded great, but it was almost $300. But, I do have to agree with some of the professional reviews I've read.

Last of the CD/Clock Radios

"This is one of the few stylish looking CD/Radio/iPod combos in the Mid $100 range. My mom wanted to replace her CD/Clock Radio and this fit the bill. That said, the FM Radio reception is terrible and the AM is non-existant even with the provided antenae. It is always difficult to get good reception where we live, but this really was poor. The controls are not at all intuitive. Speaker quality was average. ..." Read Full Review »

"Okay, first off this thing sounds really good for the money. Not Bose or Klipsch good, but good. The clock display is good, but if you have ANY sources connected, it will default back to the "source" not the clock. This is really annoying if you are using this as a bedside clock.
