We like:
Price; streaming audio functions; easy setup
We don't like:
Screen; laggy menus; sound quality quite tinny
You might also need:
A PC or Philips Streamium WACS7000; headphones; a bed-side table
CNET UK judgement:
A great way to add a networked music station to your sleeping environment. The ease of setup will please novices and the alarm clock functionality is well integrated with the networked media features. If you want an affordable way to get your PC media collection next to you as you slumber, and you don't mind the annoying menus and average sound quality, look no further
Full review:
The Philips Streamium WAK3300 is an additional unit to the £600 WACS7000 setup, but is also a standalone music-streaming system in itself. Beyond its functions as a bedside music gizmo, the WAK3300 is an alarm clock and radio. It's on sale for around £90. Continue Reading...
