Discount Jensen Docking Digital Music System with CD for iPod

I found this product by accident when checking reviews on other iPod alarm clock radios. I'm glad I did. Jensen has been a highly respected sound system provider for more years than I can remember and this is no exception. The sound on this unit is beyond awesome; I have truly NEVER heard such good sound on a small unit - ANY small unit. That alone makes it worth the price, which was less than many other lower rated units. It is true stereo sound and is top notch on every type of music I tried. I have it in my bedroom; now I want one for my office and one for the living room. Dear Santa......

The iPod dock is terrific. It is recessed when not in use. Since it is on the bottom front of the unit it is much safer to use than units with the iPod dock on top. One is much less likely to knock the iPod off and damage the pins at its base. I have a 4th generation nano and it works fine.

The CD player was not on my initial wish list but I find it is the feature I use most. When I played the first CD I discovered that "noise" on the CD was actually a specific, and very pleasant, sound!

The alarm allows you to wake up to CD, iPod, radio or buzzer. I love having such a variety to choose from. I especially like being able to program the unit to turn off after a predetermined time when I go to bed. Sometimes I use a pillow speaker and that works well with this unit. Headphones also work nicely. Another feature I really love is the lighting on the clock. You can choose bright or dim and if you hate sleeping with any light you can hit the sleep snooze and the light goes out completely.

I get decent FM reception but have never managed to pick up an AM station. Of course, I've never been able to get AM in the bedroom anyway so it isn't something I miss. There are more station presets than I need.

At first I thought the remote didn't work. It does, but is a little slow. It did come with the proper battery. The remote is very lightweight and has no way to "hook" it anywhere but a bit of velcro attaches it to the night stand nicely.

The controls are not as clear as they could be. They are also difficult to see in dim light. Also less than stellar are the instructions. On the other hand, that aren't that hard to figure out.

That said, the negatives are far outweighed by the positive features, especially the sound and the price. I think it deserves 5 stars; it is definitely, by far, the best.Get more detail about Jensen Docking Digital Music System with CD for iPod.
