    • But the sound quality is poor like every other alarm clock
    • Sound quality is poor, more like an old transistor radio
    • I would say the sound quality is excellent for the small size and reasonable price.2

    • It is not so bright as to disturb sleep, has good sound quality and easy to operate.
    • * Mediocre sound quality (not a surprise with such dinky speakers
    • The overall build quality is good
    • (Just FYI I'm 25 years old and use electronics and computers all day long.)The sounds are of terrible quality and loop the same 5 seconds over and over
    • BUT the audio quality is awful -- the little speaker has such a tinny sound that it quickly becomes irritating
    • The quality was not good and some of them sounded too similar.
    • The radio gets nice reception, and GREAT sound quality for the clock's very compact size.
    • This is a very good radio for AM and FM, but the display is too bright for bedside use, the controls are small and difficult, and the nature sounds terrible, due to poor sound quality, short tracks, and birds sounds on the ocean audio.
    • The one, tiny speaker in this radio has poor radio quality and the alarm doesn't get very loud
    • I think for the price, the sound quality could be a little better
    • Good quality, great function
    • Nice features but the sound quality isn't really very good ,especially in AM.OK for the price.
    • The sound quality is good but does not compare with the high-dollar sound system (didn't expect it to).
    • The sound quality is not even good
    • First off and of most importance, this clock radio has a tinny sound quality (annoying to this audiophile).Then, I found that the black numerals on blue background are not easy to see (in the middle of the night).
    • Sound quality isn't very good
    • really great clock, nice realistic sounds and good quality

    • Sound quality is fair, not impress with it
    • Sound quality is poor and due to its size, the buttons are small to operate.
    • I'm not a fan of the nature sounds which are on a short repeat loop (irritating) and are of poor sound quality.
    • Sound quality is fair, not impress with it

    • The Sony ICFC707 Clock Radio has:PRO- Good sound quality for an alarm clock;- Sleep
    • I think the younger generation has never been exposed to the great sound quality of old radios cause this and most of those suck!

    • There radio reception is good and the sound quality is good for little clock radio.
    • I miss the old days when clock radios were much better quality.
    • Well, that time reading disagreed with our local public radio station (go figure).Finally, the tuning of radio signal was not as precise as I would have hoped with a digital tuner; the sound quality was slightly fuzzy (though other radios in the house were able to clearly pick up the same stations).Altogether this Sony model was a disappointment - it did not make me want to linger and listen to the radio, which has been my habit for a long time.
    • Just a few cons though, its difficult to set the alarm ( in back of unit) , the alarm clock is not loud enough, and the sound quality when using my ipod on the aux port isn't that great.
    • I will be looking for a clock radio with a larger speaker and better sound quality
    • Biggest drawback is the poor sound quality, given only one small speaker that faces out the right side of the unit.

    • The small speaker was located on the right side of the radio, which had poor sound quality
    • The Good: the backup battery (which comes with the unit) to store your settings during a blackout; the 5 radio channel presets for both AM and FM; sound quality (good for the size); temperature gauge; ok reception; stable time setting
