M402 - Like it much better than I thought I would
By Chris
First let me say that if you are wondering what the difference between this model (M402) and the M402SR is, the answer is that this model DOES NOT come with the remote snooze button that the M402SR comes with even though it is shown in the picture and mentioned in the description. From the literature that came with the unit, it is possible to purchase this if you really want one.I spent a lot of time trying to find a good alarm clock radio with an iPod dock that didn't cost a small fortune or take up too much space. This one fit the bill. After reading the description, I thought that it "would do." I felt like I was settling for something less than I really wanted because I just didn't want to spend the money on something more expensive.Okay, so I don't really like the way it this thing looks. Let's face it, it looks like something from out of the 80's. However, it isn't quite as ugly in person as it looks in the picture. That is a great relief since I have to look at it everyday. The unit sounds pretty good - way better than the little speakers I was using before to listen to my iPod. I won't say it can fill a room, but it is more than acceptable for most people.I works great with my iPod Touch 4th gen. The little remote that comes with the unit allows me to control my iPod, and the dock does charge my iPod just as stated. The screen on the unit even scrolls the song title and artist.The FM radio works well. For stations that broadcast the information, the unit will scroll the song title and artist. Very cool feature since sometimes when I listen to the radio I want to know that information. I have my 4 favorite FM stations programmed into the presets.The mood lighting feature is okay. For me it is just kind of a thrown on feature that is cute to have, but I don't think it really does anything. It does have a a number of colors to choose from, and the intensity is adjustable from 1 - 17 (17? Really? Who came up with that number?). To be honest, it's just not bright enough to really set any kind of mood. The most that can be said for it, is that it is a nice customizable night light.The clock and the alarm were easy to set. The unit even displays the day and date on the screen. Some of the reviews on the M402SR said that it was difficult, but I didn't find that to be the case at all. Also, some of the reviews for the M402SR said that there were only 3 volume levels for the alarm. That may have been the case at one point in time, but on my unit the alarm volume is fully adjustable.Overall, I am VERY pleased with this unit. I actually would have to say that I love it. So far I haven't found anything I dislike about it (well, except for the 80's style appearance).

By Kutrn
I had an old cd clock radio that I liked but needed to upgrade. I really liked waking up to a particular song on my cd and I hate the beeping my husband's clock makes whenever he sets his alarm. I read a lot of reviews on different choices, and I liked everything about this clock but it looked much larger then I wanted. Based on the only review on this item, I was weighing a lot on the comment that it looked better in person, and it does! It's not nearly as big as I thought, it has a sleek clean look, setting all the settings was easy with lots of easy choices, no beeping every time you set things, and the sound is awesome! I now play my Ipod a lot more instead of letting it sit on my nightstand waiting to be used for an occasional run, and again, it sounds great! The kids (young adult age) were impressed with my purchase, didn't think it looked outdated at all, and automatically assumed I paid a fortune. For the price, it's definitely worth it and I am thinking about buying more for everyone else in the house who could use an upgrade (especially for my husband who likes to set his beeping clock right when I'm falling asleep). I highly recommend it!

Great, except for a software glitch
By p kinn
I got this system as a Christmas gift in 2010. It works great except for a software glitch. Every once and a while I will use the remote to change the radio station from my desk. It will not respond and the screen will go blank, and it will reset itself. Other then that, I've not had any problems with it.Bass- Not the best, but what could you expect from a system without a subwoofer?Sound Quality- Very Good. I personally think the sound quality on this system is better then my VS2621's.Value- Personally I think $130 is a little much for this system. I think $99 is a more realistic price.Overall bass is decent and the sound quality is good, but it is a little pricey.
