this be a nice item - good amount of sound to choose from , but the quality of the sound be not all that great . the biggest complaint I have be that it be very loud . I leave it at volume 1 , but I find myself angle the speaker away from I while I sleep because it be not as soft as I would like it . volume 2 be way too loud for I to use while I drift to sleep . I wish you could set the alarm at one level of volume and the sleep sound at another , but you CAN NOT . that part be annoying - I have to wake up to volume 1 b\/c I need the sleep sound at volume 1 . on the positive side , it be really easy to set up , nice look -lrb- fairly wide , but I have the space for it -rrb- . glad that it come with beep option for the alarm , not just sound . the display have low-med-high backlighting which be also a plus . 5-min snooze .
