Sony iPod Clock Dock - White (ICFC1IPWHITE) Reviews
remote works well. much nicer looking and sounds way better than the ihome. very happy with the clock dock. the sound is absolutely amazing for the price, even turning the volume up high. ipod fits nicely and there is an adjustable piece the back rests on. but the way i have it set up it doesnt bother me. the brightness i agree is a bit too much.
Great item from sony at a great price. Love it. and you can use your remote to change your ipod songs, the remote does everything. T someone said you couldn't do that on a review and yes, you can. Excellent prodoct. Nice size, sound, quality like you would expect from sony.
The sound is most adequate, but not that of the Bose iPod dock station which cost about 3.5X. The adjustable back support is a nice add-on when pressing iPod buttons. This is functionally a well thought out product wrt to being both a clock radio and an iPod docking station.
But then I found an annoying problem - the display is too bright. Now if only Sony had add a fourth step in the display setting: OFF. But really, if this uniit had the option to turn off the blue-green glow in the display, the Sony Clock Dock would have been perfect. At the high end (over $300), the Tivoli iYiYi High-Fidelity iPod AM/FM Stereo System (White/Silver) is great, as is the Creative Labs Cambridge Large Radio with iPod Dock - White (CD745i). It had to be white in color.
The first-generation XtremeMac IPD-LUN-00 Luna Alarm Clock Audio System and this Sony Clock Dock were immediately the front-runners. If you are looking for a quality, white, iPod clock radio and you DON'T need 2 alarms, then you have more choices. But it seems durable enough. It is a poor solution, but given that I like all the other features, it is an improvised solution I can live with. It didn't have to fill a room, but it had to be good enough to sound as good as desktop PC speakers or any other stereo clock radio costing $100.
They probably thought that would confuse users. Being made in china, it doesn't quite have the solid feel that the Dream Machine clock radios of the 80s had. The first-generation Luna had chrome knobs on top of the unit, which always showed fingerprints. I was looking for an iPod clock radio for over a year. I had to install a piece of fabric over the display to keep it covered most of the time (lifting the fabric only when I wanted to know the time). I am happy with the Sony Clock Dock. Meanwhile the Sony had about the same audio quality, a better-reviewed radio tuner, and no silver buttons.
My requirements were specific, which is why it took so long. Under $100 would be ideal. The snooze bar is used to step the display through three brightness settings (low-med-high). And in the more affordable range (under $100), the iHome iH6 Clock Radio for iPod (White) is very popular, as is the JBL On Stage II with RF Remote. If you prefer to sleep in a dark room, with as little outdoor or indoor light as possible, this display will drive you nuts. It had to have the following:. It had to cost less than $150 including tax and shipping.
But even the "low" setting is far too bright for a dark room. 5. Clock radios that met these requirements were few. I like Sony products, and the Clock Dock is a good example of a Sony device. Also, the Luna radio tuner got poor reviews here at Amazon. It had to have a snooze bar. I just wish it had the option to turn that display glow lamp OFF.
One software feature. Being a full-face "glow" display, it lights-up a room like a flashlight. So when MacXtreme released the second-generation Luna in black, with no white version offered, my decision was made for me. 2. 3.
It had to have decent sound quality. It had to have dual alarms, since my partner and I don't always go to work at the same time. 1. That's how close to 'perfect' this unit was. 4.
Sony iPod Clock Dock- White(ICFC1IPWHITE). Nice sound quality.Easy to use manually or with remote.Good value for the money.
