A nice looking radio, but it's not as perfect as some press reviews suggest. The downward-facing bass port and very directional treble can make it sound rather boomy. The volume control is fiddly and doesn't respond positively to a single click. Worst though are the software bugs. The alarm ... Read review

A nice looking radio, but it's not as perfect as some press reviews suggest. The downward-facing bass port and very directional treble can make it sound rather boomy. The volume control is fiddly and doesn't respond positively to a single click. Worst though are the software bugs. The alarm is unreliable and after I ended up late for work the first time it failed to go off I no longer rely on it. In fact setting the alarm can effectively cause the clock to 'stop' - ticking backwards then forwards alternate minutes. It has to be seen to be believed! There is also a problem with the sleep timer that manifests itself when the radio has previously been manually switched off while in sleep mode.
