Emerson Smartset Alarm Clock Radio with Bluetooth Speaker with USB Por…

Love This Alarm Clock
As everyone is abandoning their alarm for their mobile phone, I still like a clock with an alarm sitting bedside. I use the alarm everyday for work. Every 5 to 10 years I need to purchase a new alarm clock and since I hate waking up early, I want my alarm clock to be as civilized and user friendly as possible. This may be the best one yet. I don’t use the USB charger that it has or tge radio too much, but the clock and alarm are outstanding. The clock is a radio wave device so it sets itself automatically and adjust to the government tampering with our daylight savings. The dim feature on the display is great, because it’ll get really dim. You can see it in the dark, but it definitely won’t disturb anyone. It even has an extremely dim nightlight that will provide a dim glow to the area surrounding the unit. There’s a dual alarm, and tge best feature is the alarm volume is progressive. Meaning it starts of barely audible and progressively gets louder unless you turn it off or snooze it first. It’s much kinder than a loud siren startling you out of a deep sleep every morning. The unit is compact but the display is a nice size and easily readable. I was quite impressed.. I would recommend this product.

Fantastic alarm clock, not a great speaker.
Product received: Jul 29, 2020Original date of this review: Aug 22, 2020I recently lost my last alarm clock after 10 years of faithful service, this is my first one since then. I honestly think I should’ve switched sooner because this is an awesome product! You plug it in and it automatically sets the date and time (You may still need to adjust to the correct time out of the box but after that it should be fine). It has not just one but 2 alarms you can set (either for the entire week, just weekdays or just weekends, sat/sun). It has a nice, fat snooze button in the middle so you don’t have to feel around too long to find it if you’re just waking up. It seems to pick up really clear radio signals; I counted around 16 working channels with a wide variety of music and whatnot. The Bluetooth pairing works flawlessly so far, it’s quite quick to connect and doesn’t have any trouble staying connected. The range doesn’t seem too great, though. The jack for the Aux cord works great as well if you don’t want to connect via Bluetooth. Finally, the nightlight seems good. I hate having lights on at night but I did test to see how bright it was anyway. Gives a good amount of light in what would otherwise be a pitch-black room. It’s not bright enough to navigate efficiently, but if you’re just looking for a little bit of light to fill the room, this should be fine.Now some gripes I have with this product. First off, I kind of like the simplicity of the hardware, but considering how many functions it has, that also leads to some, in my opinion, minor downsides. For example, if you’re listening to anything via Bluetooth/radio/aux, you can’t change the display lightning, or check/change your alarms’ settings. Also, I don’t really listen to radio very often and I much rather use Bluetooth than aux to listen to music, but I can’t really use the sleep mode if I want to do this. It does work in the sense that it turns off the Bluetooth, but the music continues playing on my phone after it shuts itself off automatically. It thankfully doesn’t do this if I turn it off manually, but this is kind of a useless function, my case..Finally, the sound quality. It’s standard radio sound quality. It has a tiny little section in the back for minimal fidelity sound, but that’s it. I tested the range and it only reaches down to around 70Hz with a steep drop off in volume afterwards, though still barely audible down to around 30Hz, and reaches up to around 15,000Hz on the high end, completely cutting out at that point. It also buzzes a bit at certain low frequencies. I’ve managed to force some decent sound out of it with an equalizer, but in the long run it just makes it quieter. The speaker does get decently loud if you’re in doors, but it doesn’t travel very far if you’re listening to music outside.Conclusion: If you’re looking for an alarm clock with a speaker, this is an amazing product. If you’re looking for a speaker with alarm clock functionalities, look elsewhere.

Buen sonido,solo me hubiera gustado un poco de mas volumen

Once you read the instructions it’s pretty easy to set up the alarms. Descent sound (for a clock radio so let’s get real here). Solid and not chincy, amazing brightness that has three levels of dimming to almost near blind mode. Has a cool blue night light at the base – can be used for many different reasons as it’s “just” bright enough but not too bright. Has a USB charger port for your iPhone or Android too. Overall this gets a BUY rating from me and I’m a hard critic.
