Comments

 

Good points: This radio sounds great: the speaker is loud and clear, and there's good control over treble and bass. The controls and display rotate so you can use it in portrait or landscape mode, and the trim is a snooze control for the two alarms. The display is bright, clear and easy to read, and the menu well structured and easy to navigate. The front grille is interchangeable, so you can tailor it to match your décor.

Drawbacks: The looks are somewhat industrial.
