Customers are saying

Customers consistently note the nature sounds to be a great feature that helps them get to sleep. The compact size of the clock radio is also well-received, with customers appreciating its space-saving design. However, there are some concerns about the display being hard to read at night and the brightness level even at the medium setting. Some customers also find the instructions to be more complicated than expected.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged). Select reviewers may receive discounted products, promotional considerations or entries into drawings for honest, helpful reviews.

    Liked all the features but found it was too hard to see and read the time. Didn't like the blue screen. Ended up returning it.

    I work shift work so I can have a morning and evening alarm time to choose. The alarm is not so loud as to wake other people in the house.

    I would recommend as long as you don't need total darkness to sleep in. Clock face is either a real bright lite, medium or off so you can't read display.

    It does what it is intended to do wake you up. The speaker is not very good the sound is poor. Other than the speaker it's a good alarm clock.

    Alarm clock worked well enough. Problem was the that the back lighting was too bright for easy viewing, particularly at night. This was even after setting it to the dimmer of the two settings.

      Hi. jan1, thank you for letting us know about your concern. Based on the specifications of this Clock Radio, there are three levels of brightness that can be selected by pres­­­sing SNOOZE / BRIGHTNESS ( High ( default ), Low, and Off ). We recommend you adjust the Display settings to Low or according to your preferences. I hope this helps, Dave sony_US

    The good points is that I can turn off the clock's light. The only downside is locating the alarm off which is difficult to locate when waking up.

    background sound until the alarm goes off

    This clock radio serves as a background noise machine until wake-up time, when it switches over to radio. You may find some sounds less helpful than others. For example, the "ocean" choice has seabird calls, not so great by me. "Underwater" is detectably repetitive; these sounds aren't synthesized but rather looped recordings. "Rain" works anyway. Two alarm times is good. You also get to choose weekday, weekend or both for each.

    I had a small Sony for my bathroom that finally wore out after many years. But this replacement seems to lack a couple of features I liked, such as a timer so it would go off on its own. In addition, the tone qualify is a bit on the tinny side. and not as pleasant a sound. Other than that, it does the job while I'm in the shower and getting ready for work. I still give it 5 stars.
