After I have found nothing in the lower price range which meets all the criteria (a must for me), I eventually came to this product. Because of the good reviews and descriptions I decided finally for the princely sum of 83 (What I do not really want to spend - but oh well) to buy the Sony ICF-DS15IPBN dock.
Since I own an iPhone 5 and as soon not going to switch from iPhone came in handy too.
So, now to the article itself:
Positives:
- Geliefiert within 2 days after ordering, packaging properly
- Robust housing, quite high in order
- Docked iPhone is very stable, is instantly recognized and you can play music from it
- Remote works great and includes most of the functions (only set the alarm I did not find until now on the remote control)
- Radio quality is also impeccable, the antenna is still in plastic wrap, and is just around the table but there is not a noise at all my favorite channels.
- Keys are really well laid out, less important are the back of the device, important above and the alarm buttons are the display
- Lightning connector is pre-installed and does not need to be only inserted itself (as in really many devices!)
- Weckprogrammierung remains without electricity received (even without batteries!)
- Sound is really good, and you can still 2 modes to turn for extra bass, extra height, or both.
- Maximum volume I have not tried, but have used it so far as an alarm clock and a radio for company and for both was more than enough volume 8-12.
For all those who wakeup settings are so important to me:
- Alarms go set for Mon-Fri, Sat / Sun, or all week
- Two different wake-up times, which are also physically separated (wake-up time A man is left, alarm B right)
- Volume of the alarm clock can be set with the alarm
- You can be woken up with on the iPhone saved tracks (although I have not tried yet, if he starts the music by itself)
- Display is available in 4 levels of brightness, which can be connected to the (very pleasant large) snooze button at the top on your machine. The final stage is completely dark, so no light at all. So can not be too bright at night;)
- Display is automatically illuminated when the alarm off you go (very pleasant!)
- Sleep Timer goes on 30, 60 and 90 minutes set
Negatives:
- So far nothing, the unit will have for almost 2 weeks in operation and did not find anything negative
Conclusion:
If you have the wherewithal to have to buy for ~ 80-90 a clock radio, and also happens to be an iPhone (also goes iPad, iPod) then has this docking station is only recommended!
