Equally suited to a bedroom, office, or kitchen table, the Koss CL1160 shows the time on three faces, so you can see one of its several red LED displays from almost anywhere in the room. The compact unit offers stereo CD and AM/FM radio playback and gives you a choice of waking to alarm, radio, or CD. The CL1160 is equipped with two alarms, a sleep timer, and a snooze button.
1 About the size of my head (i have a big head)
First of all, the dimmer and the 270 viewing and the snazzy appearance and two alarms and what-not are all as advertised and the sound is better than I expected. The only flaw is it is a bit bigger than some similar units out there. If size is not an issue it is the best one for the price. If size is an issue you need to go to a store and actually lay hands on one, because buying them on the net you never know. There are some really small ones out there that you could, say, use while traveling, but for bedroom or office use this one looks and sounds very nice.(yes, i do sleep in my office, George Costanza style)
2 A Great Buy!
Wow, am I impressed with this clock radio! I did about a week of researching and was planning on a Sony but then saw the reviews for this. It had all the options I was looking for without adding bells and whistles that are useless. What a plus to have 3 sided viewing also! You can see what time it is from anywhere in the room. When I got it home the first thing I did was check the sound. I was quite surprised. I could hear it through the house. Obviously it doesn't sound quite as good as a large stereo system but it really was good! No distortion on high volume. It's the perfect size and the dual alarms are great as I get up at two different times throughout the week!. I tried out the cd player and was impressed again. Another big plus if you're like me and can't sleep with any light. The clock display is NOT overpowering lights!! It has a dimmer switch. It does not light up the whole room as others I looked at. The am/fm pick up is great. Much better than what I had.
So, I would say if you've been doing a ton of research and are as confused as I was, look at the reviews - everyone is very pleased with this alarm clock (which by the way, the buzzer is very non-intrusive). Go for it - you'll be pleasantly surprised. WELL worth the money.
3 Not an owner, but....
The above "reviews" from "an electronics fan" are, obviously and blatantly, plugs by a manufacturers representative of some sort. Give me a break. If you're not a consumer, you shouldn't be rating the products.
4 AMAZING CD Clock Radio
Okay, here's the deal. I recently went searching for a CD Clock Radio online and I must have read a hundred reviews for various types of clock radios. I'm not sure why, but I ended up with this Koss 270¼ clock radio. I just got it in the mail today. I plugged it in, put in my favorite CD, and I was very impressed. I tested out the strength of the speakers and then the alarm and everything works great.
Some really cool aspects are:
-270¼ viewing, where you can see what time it is from all areas of the room.
-Dimmer, which lets you dim the numbers and the time.
-2 Alarm settings!!! It's great!!! I can wake up at different times on weekdays and weekends!!!
Overall, this is a great CD clock radio and don't let any other reviews fool you. The sound quality is perfect, the volume goes up high enough (I could hear it throughout my whole house), and the lights are not too bright as some other Clock radios are.
BUY IT!!!!!
YOU'LL ENJOY IT!!!
IT'S GREAT!!!!!
5 Very Nice
This CD rado clock produces very good sound i would recommend this to anyone that wants a cd radio clock.
6 interesting setup
I liked how you could see at a 270 degree view with the clock. That way, it would never get "turned around" in the middle of the night. The numbers of the time could be a little larger, and the sound quality a little better, but it is great being able to wake up to my choice of CD, radio, or buzzer. To sum it all up, don't be fooled by the fact that the 270 degree viewing makes it different from all other CD clocks, it's actually really not. A decent buy for your money.
