Bose Wave Radio II Alarm Clock Graphite Black with Remote

Product Information

Bluetooth – Bluetooth will allow you to stream internet radio, podcasts and MP3s from your phone or tablet through the radio’s speaker. The Spectrum is attractively priced, but the process of setting the alarm is quite lengthy and inconvenient. It could certainly be improved, but it still offers good value for money. There’s a large snooze button on the top of the radio, which should be easy to find in the dark or when you’ve just woken up. However, the default alarm volume is quite high, so it’s not the most relaxing way to wake up. If loud music doesn’t bother you this isn’t a problem, but if you prefer to wake up gently you might want to choose the Pure Siesta Rise instead, as the alarm volume on that radio increases gradually. Like the Siesta Rise, the CHRONODAB is relatively expensive, but offers the quality sound and great build quality Roberts are known for.

You can choose when the alarm will sound (once/daily/weekdays/weekends), and can also choose the volume of the alarm. Since you can only set 2 presets on DAB and 2 on FM, this can make changing the radio station you want to wake up to a bit fiddly (the easiest thing is just to tune into it first before setting the alarm).User experience – is how easy it is to use… As you’ll be setting the alarm daily or weekly, ensuring ease of use is paramount. After all, you don’t want to be fiddling about with buttons each time. A straightforward process is preferred. We’ve listed some user-friendly options if you require this. To turn off the alarm on a Bose radio, you’ll need to first locate the alarm button. This button is usually located on the front of the radio, and is usually circular or diamond-shaped. Once you’ve found the alarm button, press it and hold it down until the alarm turns off. The radio will play for a duration of your choosing (15, 30, 45, 60 or 90 minutes). Of course, you can switch off the radio manually before this time period ends. When you go to set the alarm, it will let you choose either the last station you were listening to or one of your saved presets.

However, the Roberts Revival iStream 3 is more stylish and has more features and better sound quality.
