I bought this as a clock radio because I use my iPod Touch as an E-Reader at night and this clock radio keeps it charged at all times. The product has very good sound quality which is full and has good bass. It's generally easy to use, but the controls are tightly squeezed together and hard to distinguish in low light. I generally don't like blue LED displays since blue LEDs, although hi-tech in appearance, are always hard to read (they always look blurry!). But at least they give you three display brightness settings to make it readable. The key missing feature is that the alarm volume can't be adjusted if you use the alarm in radio mode. The radio alarm wakes my whole house every morning! Therefore I'd recommend this product for single people only. ;-)

I needed a clock with an iPod dock so I could use it for appointments outside my office and this was perfect! It is small enough, has a slim design, the clock is large, it's easy to operate, and it's not heavy. Oh, it also has battery backup. I am very satisfied with this purchase!

Great sound.takes up little table space . Just wish that the Power was an on/off button that could be set semi permanently to FM to make it simple for my elderly in-laws who I purchased it for. They'll never use the dock and the LED readout for dock/fm is too small for easy viewing

I bought this as I was looking for speakers for my bedroom, I chose this because it also had an alarm clock and I didn't have one. The sound is decent and I like the size it's compact so it doesn't take up much room. The only thing I didn't like is that a little pricey

I purchased this product based on the price as well as it's ability to charge my iphone 4. I depend on it for my alarm also and it's been very reliable. Also the design is very pleasing to the eye. The speakers deliver great sound. This product is one of the best I have purchased for charging my I phone and I am very pleased with its quality and reliability.

The docking station charges while I'm listening to my music. No cords needed to charge and its got good sound. Its a really good alarm clock/ipod player for the cost.

I have an iPod Nano 5th gen - this works really well for my desk at work. My previous product had minimal volume control ability and made it difficult to use at work -always too loud or too low. The volume controls on this unit are perfect for my needs. There is a battery back up so this runs on AC and DC which is nice as a just in case I need to work somewhere other than my desk. I like it and would recommend this product - please note that I do not use the alarm features and my building does not allow for radio reception (sigh) so can not speak to those features.

Loud enough sound for both the radio and the iPhone speakers. Good for the price. Easy to handle. Accomodates old iPhone4 socket, which is a rarity now. I am satisfied with it.

It works well, it has an back-up battery which is plus. Easy to use and program. Syncs with iPhone time. Sound is decent and gets really loud. Lowest dim setting it bright, put on a privacy screen from an iPhone and solved that problem. Added a iPhone dock extender and fixed the phone cover issue. Has two alarms which is also a plus. Allows each alarm to use 3 different sources for sound.

Setting the system up is straightforward and the functions work as expected. Nothing fancy. The docking is only for the older iPod/iPhone and not the current ones, so if you need this it's probably not the best option (adding an adapter would seem to make the device hard to support in the provided slot).

Was looking for a good desktop ipod dock so I could watch videos or listen to music without earbuds while I was working. Plus I needed a clock. This one does it all, giving me a radio too boot. Alarm let's me wake to either. I love it!

I was looking for an ipod dock for my office, I found this little one and thought it would be just the perfect size for my desk, but not sure how it would sound. It has proven to be amazing. The sound is excellent a great value and perfect fit. I'd recommend Insignia to everyone!

Easy to use, don't even read the manual. Sound is pretty good. It's a bargain for the money.
The only thing that's not good enough is needing power supply, the batteries are for maintaining the clock, without power supply, the dock doesn't sing.
