Not Happy With This Purchase,
by Wild Witz, 2010-07-28

This may be a good music player but it's a horrible alarm. I found the instructions vague and somewhat confusing, and the placement & ease of use of alarm buttons are poor.

 

Poor design,
by JTM, 2010-07-21

This alarm has some good features, especially the iPhone charger, which is why I chose it over some other alarm clocks. BUT the "snooze" button is tucked between (and indistinguishable from) the two "off" buttons. So everytime I try to hit snooze, I accidently turn the alarm off. Really, really poor design decision.

 

Disappointing,
by Lee Williamson, 2010-06-15

I held off for a long time in purchasing a clock radio/iphone dock. The Philips looked quality and the reviews seemed to back that up. However I should have listened to the concerns regarding the button placement. However that turned out to be just one of the issues with this unit. Pros and cons:

Pros:

-Impressive sound quality for the size of the unit.
-Good build quality.
-Radio alarm starts low in volume and raises gradually. This was important as I hate being startled awake.
-Works with 3G. However I would occasionally get the "this device does not work with your phone, etc..." But that seemed to be an anomaly.
-Brightness is adjustable.

Cons:

-Button placement is terrible. You have to feel your way when changing settings unless you want to get up and turn the unit around. Furthermore all the buttons feel the same and are bunched up together. I guess I've gotten the hang of it but it's still a hassle.
-The alarm has not gone off twice(admittedly via pilot error.) It turns out if you accidentally tune your radio to between channels (and you end up with static/noise/poor signal) and your alarm is set for *radio* it won't go off - AT ALL. One would think it would play the staticy radio signal or at least resort to a back up beep tone for the alarm.
-Plugging in the iphone can be tricky. The phone doesn't readily align with the dock. Granted this is the case with a lot of the docks I've played with at the store.
-The clock's font is really bad and not the easiest to read. You get used to it however.
-No battery back-up. I know the Sonys don't have that either. What's up with that?

I got this from Amazon through my credit card's points reward system, thus I didn't even try to return it. Disappointing and not recommended.

 

The Best Speaker System for iPhone and iPodes,
by Adel Alshatti, 2010-06-05

I like this devise Philips DC315/37 Speaker System for iPod/iPhone with LED Clock Radio (Black) because of how its look like and the nice quality of sound actually its an excellent device for charging the iPhone/iPod and in the same time use it as speakers and radio (multifunction).

 

Perfect,
by L. Nawrot, 2010-06-04

Exactly what I was looking for - iPod speakers with radio. Sound quality is great, easy to use. It even has a 3.5mm stereo cable for other mp3 players. I'm very happy with this product.
