If this clock radio is going to be a considered a premium clock radio, the clock should at least have a smooth non ticking hand to start. The clock itself looks cheap and is small and hard to read when viewed on an angle. The back light should have a brightness setting in ordered to be called premium. The "low" light is still bright enough to be bothersome in a pitch dark room. The radio stations indicated on the front is nearly impossible to read without a light directly pointed at it. The numbering and lettering is nothing like the marketing pictures on the website. The font colors blend right into the front panel color which needs addressing. This is truly an issue as you would have to guess what radio station you are tuning into. The construction of the overall product is of high quality as all the knobs have a tension feel when turned. The wooden exterior is unique and feels premium. The radio reception is good especially when you use the antenna. The sound quality is 8/10 for the size but I wouldn't call it outstanding. A $50 Sony/JBL BT speaker would sound just as good. I don't find the bass too heavy as someone mentioned in a previous review. This premium clock radio really should have a stereo speakers. The snooze button doesn't seem to function after the radio alarm goes off as the alarm never come back on as it should have 10 minutes of snooze. The BT feature pairs fine like any other BT speaker. Overall, the value for money, I would say this radio should not cost anymore than $200CAD. It is highly overpriced for what it is. If you are looking for a unique classic clock alarm radio, this might be a consideration but I wouldn't put it at the top of the list.
