I’d put it somewhere between a Logitech Boom and a Bose Soundlink Mini. As for the sound? It is extremely good for such a small form factor. Waking up to your favorite music over quality speakers is a step up from my tinny iPhone speakers. Speaking of convenience, if I wake up in the middle of the night, I don’t have to reach all over to find my iPhone see what time it is – the ‘not too bright’ white LED time display is a glance away. It is nice to just have the alarm to wake me up without having to go find my phone before going to sleep. Everything is exactly where I expect it every morning, always 100% charged.Īlso, a dedicated alarm is nice in those rare instances where I’ve left my phone in the car or in a coat pocket downstairs. Instead of looking all over for the charging cable at night, I have this dock on the nightstand that charges both my iPhone 5s as well as two other devices – usually my kids’ iPad 3 and an Android device via the rear USB port. That said, I’ve quickly become addicted to this alarm clock/dock/radio. I probably wouldn’t have sought a product like this out, especially at the $130 price point. I also have some of the best inexpensive portable Bluetooth speakers on the market if I want to listen to music in my bedroom. I use my phone’s alarm to wake up and I almost never listen to the radio anymore. Philips hopes to remedy the transition to Lightning with their new-ish AJ7260D/37 Dual Dock Triple Charging Clock Radio which retails for around $130. I’ve been using the alarm/clock radio for about a month now and here are my observations:įirstly, I didn’t think I needed an alarm clock. That was great while we had 30-pin iOS devices, but now that we’ve mostly moved to Lightning, it is mostly just lip service – about as convenient and up to date as that wired room line phone installed next to the toilet. If you travel frequently for work, you’ve probably seen one of a number of 30-pin alarm clocks that have almost become standard at business hotels.
