I have the clock radio Philips AJB3552 / 12 bought (not with Amazon, because my old alarm clock radio one day gave up the ghost and I had to buy a new urgent on the same day). I'm very satisfied. The unit meets all my requirements for a radio alarm clock: 1. The reception of DAB + stations is crystal clear. With my old alarm clock I am often annoyed that the FM station was noisy in the morning while raising. At Philips we hear only music, no noise. 2. The alarm clock wakes you gently, ie the volume is gradually increased. With my old alarm clock I often fell out of bed when I was yelled at by beeping or radio. Now the beeping or the music starts very slowly gets louder every 3 seconds until the preset alarm volume is reached. 3. The display can be completely off. I'm sleeping light sensitive and had always placed a black lens cloth over the screen of my old clock radio. Now the display is off at night (after 10 seconds, it turns off, so I've set it). Disturb does then only the small button on top of the case, which allows you to turn the alarm off. The is lit from within and illuminates quite brightly. At asleep there was no thought to me. But I initially simply laid my black glasses cloth on the housing top. Now I have taped the knob with black elastic tape. It lights up nothing and the button continues to be operable. 4. Even if some buyers report here that the unit is humming from the speaker: If my device not buzzing. I suspect that when the units the power supply is broken. 5. Super, the device software update capability. A lot of people make fun. I think it's good. So you can be set in any case make happy with new software, if the manufacturer offers improvements, rather then having to buy a new device. It happens to be a set-top box, which is driven by software. Anyone who does so difficult that can indeed buy a conventional alarm clock. 6. The announcement in other customer reviews and product capability, the device to display weather information, I have not discovered yet, I think is a "duck" and unnecessary, because I could always see nothing on the screen without my glasses (in front of the time display apart). But I enjoy being disabuse. 7. The design is great. The unit is pretty small and therefore takes on the bedside table a little space. 8. The sound is excellent (for a clock radio). With the bass boost setting comes across a pleasant, rich sound. Let's be honest: From a clock radio I do not expect the sound of a hi-fi system. The stands in my living room. A clock radio to wake me up in the morning with beautiful music and with a quality that does not throw me out of bed. This requirement meets the alarm clock completely. I often read in the bedroom while listening to on the radio alarm clock music. I'm always very happy with the music quality. Thanks to DAB +, the transmitter is not displaced and it is NULL to hear noise. Consequently, for me a true radio-listening experience. 9. No, the clock radio has no stereo. My old clock radio Tchibo had stereo, but since the alarm clock standing next to my headboard, I have not heard anything from stereo. Then I would have to sit directly in front of the alarm clock. In addition, the FM stereo reception was totally noisy. For The Awakening and for occasional listening to the radio enough Mono fine. 10. No, there is no battery installed. But obviously a current memory is installed, which stores the settings or the settings are stored in a flash memory. The time is indeed after about 5 minutes without power off. But by following the current settings are immediately available and the time is displayed after about 30 seconds. 11. It would be desirable a connection for an MP3 player, so you could connect his smartphone. But to be honest: My Tchibo clock even had a built-in CD player, I've never used. A clock radio to wake you with radio or beep. And this task fulfilled the unit 100 percent.
In short, I am completely satisfied with the purchase of the clock radio and would buy him on the spot again.
