JBL Horizon Bluetooth

Ambient LED lights gradually brighten to slowly wake you.

Made for portables

The Horizon features two USB charging ports, so you can connect your smartphone and tablet (or two smartphones) for recharging. You can easily pair your Bluetooth-enabled portable to the Horizon for instant music. The two full-range speakers can deliver detailed sound that can fill a room.

Clock and radio

In addition to streaming music from your device, you can also enjoy the Horizon's built-in FM tuner. The Horizon comes with two alarms, both of which can be independently set to an FM radio station, music streamed from your paired smartphone or tablet, or even an electronic alarm.

The LCD clock display is easy to read, and automatically adjusts to the room's lighting. Ambient LED light, activated by the alarm, helps you wake up gently. The Horizon's smooth, rounded contour and soft, rubberized finish comes in handy when you're half asleep and groping for the alarm.

Q
Does this radio have a "digital" tuner for nice clear tuning or is it analog and likely to fade in and out of the frequency it is tuned in to?
stewart  Jun 23, 2021

A
Hi there! The tuner is digital with various "slots" for programmed stations. You may hear the station fade if you move the antenna cable too much, however the radio suppresses the static noise really well and its usually either cristal clear tuning or nothing at all. It sounds really nice and pretty much all stations sound cristal clear without interference. Hope this helps!
walner  Jul 14, 2021

The tuner is digital and easy to adjust.

Q
Is this device portable?
matts  Jun 23, 2020

A
Matts , definitely no. You have to be hooked to a 120 volts outlet in order to get power.
ronaldo  Jun 24, 2020
A
No, not portable.
brent  Jun 24, 2020
A
The device is portable in that it is fairly compact and not heavy. However, it needs to be plugged in to a standard electrical socket in order to work (there is a battery back-up for power outages).
john b.  Jun 24, 2020
A
No. While it is small enough to easily move from location to location, it does need to be plugged in to a power outlet to operate. It has a battery backup to protect the settings during short power outages so the time and your alarms are not affected.
andrew  Jun 23, 2020
A
Not clear what you mean by "portable".. You can unplug it and take it places, but it is not wireless if that is the question.

Q
Are the USB chargers high speed?
diane  Apr 10, 2019
2 answers
A
I cannot speak to the actual manufacturing specifications, but my iPhone charges at the same speed as it would connected to my computer or connected to the wall with the included charger. I know that some phones come with special chargers that have transformers/capacitors that are designed to charge even faster. If they get power from USB, they should work the same. If they have to get power from the wall, then phones connected to this will likely just charge normal speed.
andrew  Apr 10, 2019
A
This is not a high speed charger.
