Review:
When I first read reviews on this, I was doubtful about buying it, because there were a lot of bad comments about the sound quality and an annoying high pitched noise, etc. But I bought it anyway, because it was one of a kind- the only DAB alarm clock radio with an iPod dock, and I knew i could cope with the flaws. But when i switched it on, instead of the awful sound quality I was expecting, there was no problem with the sound at all. I even turned it up to full volume and turned the bass level to its highest, and still no distortion whatsoever.
The rest is also great - the multiple alarms are really useful (even though i only use 2); You can wake up to your own songs on your ipod, the radio, or a really loud alarm beep; the remote is a cool feature- you can browse the tracks on your iPod, or select radio stations etc.; and everything else is perfect, except the signal on some stations is a bit 'off', but not much- and the volume of the iPod is lower than the volume of the radio, so dont switch between the iPod and the radio without checking the volume first!
Overall, the PURE Chronos iDock is a lot better than i expected, and a lot better than the reviews that I have read about it.
