Sony XDRC705DAB Clock Radio review

If you are looking for a great clock radio from a good brand then you’ll love the Sony XDRC705DAB Clock Radio. This clock has great sound and is extremely good-looking (in case you worry about that sort of thing). The big and bright display makes it easy to read, and there are settings to reduce the brightness so it doesn’t bother you at night. The ability to set 20 preset stations is quite handy and means that you’ll never have to spend time scrolling through the dial to find your station.

There is one small problem, that doesn’t seem to affect all models but has been reported a few times by different customers. It would appear that on a few models there is a glitch where the clock’s alarm goes off at midnight every few days. Again, it hasn’t affected all of the models, so if you like this clock you should definitely get it. Within a few days you will know if it is functioning correctly, and you can take it back if it’s faulty.

All in all the Sony XDRC705DAB Clock Radio is a great clock, with fabulous sound from the front-mounted speaker. The clock looks great in any bedroom with its sleek and understated styling. The multiple station presets and alarm settings come in very handy, and the big display means that you can read it easily, even in the middle of the night. This is a great clock and well worth the price tag it comes with.
