MP3 Music Alarm Clock Cube review

If you don’t immediately fall in love with this clock’s design then there may be something wrong with you. The MP3 Music Alarm Clock is so lovely it is practically a work of art. Besides being exceedingly beautiful in its design, this clock is amazingly functional as well. Wake up to an alarm or your own music, the choice is yours with this great clock.

The best feature about this clock is the fact that you have two options when it comes to your personal music list. You can plug right into your computer with a USB cable and upload your tunes into the clock’s internal memory, or if you can plug a memory card right into the clock with your tunes already preloaded.

If you want to take your tunes outside you can stick in some batteries and take your clock with you. Although the clock is small in stature, it pumps out some great music wherever you take it. The clock will last up to 12 hours on battery, or you can use the included adaptor to plug in to a main power source. If you find that all your tunes just don’t fit then you can get yourself a bigger memory card and your clock will be stocked with all of your favourite music.

With a sleek, cubical, minimalist style, fantastic LCD display and a ton of options there is no reason not to buy this clock for your bedroom, or even your office. You can wake up to your own music and then take the clock with you to breakfast, or just let it sit there stately by your bedside, waiting for you to return. As a clock the MP3 Music Alarm Clock Cube is functional, as an accessory it borders on divine.

iStation Alarm Clock Radio For iPod review

Wow - this is a seriously great ipod clock for the price. While the sound may not compare to top quality stereo makers like Bose, the sound is still pretty good. In small spaces, like a bedroom, or large spaces such as a kitchen or living room this unit performs fantastically. If you have been waiting to get an ipod clock because the prices have been too high then your wait is over, because you are not going to get this type of quality for a better price.

While the model itself is simplistic in its design, it exudes a certain cool confidence that makes it a nice piece for the bedroom. Alarm clock functions allow sleepers to choose from buzzer, radio or ipod playlist. As a bonus, when you plug in your ipod at night it will be fully charged and ready to go when you wake up in the morning.

It may not be a top quality player, but it could certainly pass for one if you are not super picky about the sound. The iStation Alarm Clock Radio For iPod is a perfect gift for adults or teens with ipods that want the option to wake up to their favourite tunes. Even if you have a few children or grandchildren that you need to buy for this Christmas, with this price you could buy all of them a great clock, radio and ipod player no problem.

Neverlate Executive Alarm Clock review

This alarm clock has everything! It is ideal for a couple who need to wake up at different times. You can set alarms for 2 people at different times every day of the week – so if you need to get up at 7am on a Monday, 10am on a Tuesday and 6am on Wednesday, that’s no problem, just program in the different times and away you go.

In fact, pretty much every function of this alarm clock can be tailored to your needs – the alarm duration, the snooze duration and the brightness of the backlight can all be set to your individual requirements.

Another great feature of this alarm clock is the gradual wake up mode, where the radio gets louder and louder the longer you leave it on. Descending snooze is another great feature, every time you press snooze it gets shorter and shorter, so you have to get up in the end!

Add to this the USB port to plug in your ipod (or other generic MP3 player!) and the 20 preset radio stations and you have a great all round alarm clock.

iPod Alarm Clock review

This is the perfect alarm clock for MP3-loving oversleepers! Pop your iPod into the alarm clock’s cradle, set the alarm time and enter the land of nod.

• “Wake Up” by Alanis Morissette
• “I Didn’t Want To Wake You Up” by Babybird
• “Wake Me Up” by Girls Aloud
• “Wake Me Up When September Ends” by Green Day
• “When You Gonna Wake Up” by Bob Dylan
• “Wake Up And Smell The Coffee” by Cranberries

If you have an iPod you need one of these - buy it from the I Want One Of Those website.
