Soundfreaq Sound Rise Classic, SFQ-14: Bedside Alarm Clock Radio & Bluetooth Speaker, with Analog Clock, FM Radio, USB Charging Port, Snoonze, and Manual Backlight

Really? It doesnt light up at night? Sure, push a button, and then light comes on for 3 seconds, then... darkness..

Simple controls, well written directions. Good quality. Decent sound for a small device.

The alarm is set via a wand on the clock face, so you can't set the alarm to come on each day at 7am, for example. If you leave the alarm button ON, then the alarm will come on at 7am AND 7pm. It's annoying to have to turn off the alarm every morning, then turn it on AFTER 7pm every night.

I loved the analog and digital together. This way you can distinguish am from pm for the alarm and simply leave the alarm on all day instead of having to turn the alarm on for bed every day. That’s where the good ends. It was very confusing to use. The light didn’t stay on permanently so you can’t see it at night. Waking up to Bluetooth is hit and miss. You have to set your phone daily to the thing you’re going to wake up to and you better have the volume on both the clock and phone right. The alarm dial only goes one direction so if you need to wake up 15 minutes early you must go all the way around to get there. Almost got it right.

Everything works great so far. Speaker sound quality is good. Alarm wakes me up without being obnoxious. We'll see how it goes on durability.

I can easily tell the difference between a fresh, new product and a used one, and this product was definitely used, which probably explains why it was deeply discounted. Scuff marks on the clock face and scratches along the snooze bar. The twist wire tie for the plug was also fraying, indicating that the alarm clock was a return, which in turn was sold to me as new. Shady shady. I returned it for a refund and will steer clear of this company going forward.

The backlight is ok. I don’t really see it as an issue. It’s not glowing in my face but it is clearly visible. Actually quiet balanced and nice. This is not my first soundfreaq product. Prior to buying it, i did have concerns about the sound because it is small. True to the brand’s commitment to sound, it did not dissapoint. What really sold me was the classic clock face. I really miss the classic clock, it looks so good. The bonus was the second hand’s smooth movement.
