Soundfreaq Sound Rise II, Bedside Radio Alarm Clock, Wireless Digital Clock Radio, with Bluetooth, Large Display Screen, Audio Speakers, Fast Charging & Ambient Nature Noise (Black)

Great little alarm radio clock. A bit to get use to in set up - keep instruments close by. I swear alarm gets louder and louder to get you up. Sound is clear on radio - very impressed. Still getting use to it. But it is plug in and solid little clock. Love the fact you can lower the light to black out

This bedside Alarm clock may be a small size, but it packs a big punch. I returned a lot of bedside alarm clock radios before I brought this. Unlike some similar products that I purchased costing more money, this product as an FM tuner that actually works good. Its small size on my crowded nightstand was a big plus. It has a decent sound for its small size and even has enough volume for someone with hearing loss like me. The charging ports are a great plus allowing me to charge my cell phone. The nature sounds are good feature allthough I wish there were more of them. The bluetooth works well.

I bought 5 clock radios this year, from cheap to very expensive. None of my previous purchases have been an icon for truth in advertising, that is to say, they didn't work as advertised. If they had good sound, the clock didn't work. If the clock worked, the radio sounded like crap. All had unacceptable shortcomings. I was about to give up on the idea of buying a decent clock radio when I decided to try the Soundfreaq Sound Rise II. I can happily that it works exactly as advertised. The sound quality is pretty good for a speaker of that size. The clock is perfectly reliable and the alarm offer several choices of wake up sounds. The bluetooth connected instantly to my phone and has been completely dependable, every time. The unit has a number of bells and whistles. (Sleep timer, nature sounds, USB charging, large display screen with dimmable settings, and more). Unlike other radios the set up is relatively easy and the instructions are better than any others that I have used. I consider this radio an excellent product, particularly in comparison the all the other radios that recently purchased and returned. I have found no equal even in the $200 models. Update: After using this clock radio for several weeks I can enthusiastically say this is a great radio. It does everything well, it's easy to operate, sounds good, all with good operating instructions. You can't beat it.

After our warhorse of a clock radio bit the dust, finding a replacement was like going down a rabbit hole. Bought several in the $30+ range; they did not keep time (how is that even possible?), the phone charging connection (the one upgrade I was excited about) stopped working almost immediately, and the clock radios themselves died with a whimper within several months. Delighted to find the Sound Rise. Pros: Beautifully crafted clock radio. Excellent sound; balanced, rich and fills the room, with a few helpful options to adjust balance. Radio connection works well with antennae and Bluetooth sound quality is excellent. Phone charging connection is a lovely perk Has helpful options to dim the time display. It's also a beautiful looking clock radio. Has an elegant design and does not take up a lot of room. Unsure if the taupe/wood version would be drab, but it is stylish and attractive. Easy to operate and well-designed and the instructions were clear and helpful. And it keeps time! This is the clock radio I was searching for. Cons: These were out of stock for months. Don't know what the supply issues are with the company, but it's frustrating that their website is never updated to reflect when items may be back in stock. Signed up for their mailing list to be notified, but never heard back. Might have waited for some of the other designs, but no way to know; when I emailed, I heard back after several days that they would not be available in the foreseeable future. For a company that puts so much care into their product, the failure to update the website is baffling. However, after pondering the rating, while this was frustrating, none of this takes away from this high quality product.

Bought this for it's good reviews, small footprint, and many features for the money. Sound is great. Keep your instructions handy as settings are complicated and not at all intuitive. I defy anyone to figure it out without the instructions. Also, the dial readout is overly busy and hard to read. For one thing, there is too much information on the dial. For another, the beginning "1's" are MUCH too close to the next number when dealing with 10, 11, and 12 o'clock. The dial is plenty bright (and adjustable), but it often looks like Chinese to me during the night (due to the too-close numbers and superflous information presented). So much so that I am thinking of moving it to another room and finding something else for my bedroom alarm. I've had it over a month and thought I would get adjusted to it, but I have not. Another minor issue is the ridiculously large plug...wonder why it's so darn large for such a small device?
