Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this item to use in the bathroom so I could listen to music and keep an eye on the time in the mornings. The speakers sound really good. But the display is so dim (even on the brightest setting), the clock numbers are kind of small, and because of the mirror finish, the display is not easily visible. The build quality is nice - only the top plate and front grill are aluminum.
The first night, I tried it out as an alarm clock. In the morning, my thought was that the snooze button was a little too stiff. The display legibility was not much of an issue when you're that close, but I still wish the digits were a little bigger. I'm making these comparisons to my regular alarm clock - the iHome iH9. Another nuisance was that because the alarm buttons are so close to the snooze button, that if you accidentally hit it when the alarm is going off, the snooze button no longer works.
Now it's back in the bathroom, being used as a good-looking music player that's a little selfish about revealing the time.

Gently wake to your favorite iPod/iPhone tunes or FM radio, complete with separate weekday/weekend alarm times. Or simply enjoy your music with this docking clock radio from Philips. This stylish system is decked out in a sleek aluminum case, for looks to match any room.
Start the Day Your Way
Play and Charge Your iPhone/iPodEnjoy your favorite tunes while your iPhone/iPod gets a charge. The dock fits most docking iPod/iPhones, and while you're listening, it provides a charge--no need to worry about your battery running out.
Digital FM TunerTune in to FM radio to get your morning news, traffic reports, or other live broadcasts. Presets let you quickly access stored favorites.
Rich, Clear SoundThe DC290/37 packs 10 watts RMS total output power. The Dynamic Bass Boost feature maximizes your music enjoyment by enhancing the low end no matter the volume setting--this is similar to "loudness" features on other systems, allowing you to get consistent, full-range sound even at lower listening levels. Philips also lets you dial it in with "Digital Sound Control," or preset EQ curves for different musical styles (Jazz, Rock, Pop, and Classical), so you can get the most out of your music.
Dual Alarm ClockWhatever your alarm needs, the DC290/37's ready. A dual alarm feature lets you set different alarm times for weekdays and weekends, or vary the alarm settings for you and a companion. Forget the hassle of fiddling with different alarm times every single night, and set it up for your lifestyle.
You can wake to an FM radio station or your favorite iPhone/iPod tunes from a docked device. A "gentle wake" feature gradually increases the alarm volume to wake you without jarring you out of sleep.
Auxiliary InputPhilips' "MP3 link" connection (a 3.5-mm auxiliary input) lets you plug in your other MP3 players, CD players, or pretty much anything with a line out. So if you have other devices besides iPods/iPhones, or non-docking iPods such as the shuffle models, you'll still get to enjoy it over the system's speakers.
