Set up difficult.
Jerry from Las Vegas, NV on 7/18/2022
Sounds and looks great, but turning it off and on, and using it to automatically come on to awaken me in the morning with music is still a mystery.
Pros: Stylish. Great sound.
Cons: Not simple to operate.

Disappointed
David from Denver, CO on 3/17/2022
Very disappointed with this clock. I had high expectations because JBL usually makes intelligently designed products. Bluetooth does not work. I cannot pair it with my iphone 11 Pro Max after countless attempts. My phone simply does not recognize the clock. The user manual is useless. The auto-dim feature makes the time too dark at night to see the time. Manual dim option would have been helpful to accommodate for individual brightness preferences. The sound is great, but that's about the only good quality.
Pros: Sound quality
Cons: Poor functional design.

The radio looks good and sounds good as a radio. Unfortunately there is not a manual available in English. making the CLOCK part of Clock Radio useless. Unbelievable.

Minimalist design is attractive. Simplified functions make it easier to program. I don't like the alarm function which plays the radio for 3 minutes and shuts off. All previous alarm clock radios have played for one hour.

Great clock, poor visibility in low/med light conditions
Mark from Portland, OR on 2/3/2022
I like the size, setup and controls. The sound quality and Bluetooth connectivity are very good. The clock is easy to read in daylight, and it dims significantly when the lights are off, which is good for sleeping. Where it fails is when the light is partial, like when the sun comes up in the morning, an overcast day, or if the lights are not bright in the bedroom at night. In these conditions the clock visibility is extremely poor, see image. Partially due it dimming too low in moderate light, and partially due to the reflective clock face. Frustrated that I have to turn on additional room lights just to be able to check the time on the clock.
Pros: Very good sound Straight forward controls Bluetooth connectivity Good FM Nice size Looks good Feels solid, well built Good display in bright and no light conditions Dual alarms Backup battery
Cons: Very difficult to impossible to read in low to moderate light conditions.

I like it more than I thought!
Anthony from Cranston, RI on 8/25/2021
First the sound is great, in fact surprisingly good. The alarm sounds are also good. I like the light a lot more than I thought I would. It's very useful and bright but not totally blinding. Light sensitive adjustable display is also great. Had no trouble connecting to my phone. I like that it doesn't need internet.
Pros: Sound, light, display, does not need to be connected to the internet.
Cons: Price

Great speaker clock
Crutchfield customer from Winchester, KY on 8/21/2021
Great sound quality, small size, easy to use alarm clock. My daughter bought for her college dorm room and she loves it. Another great recommendation from Crutchfield. I've never bought anything from them I didn't like!
Pros: Small size, no corner to scape yourself on, easy to read clock, easy setup and use.
Cons: None

Good, but not perfect.
Crutchfield customer from Heber Springs, AR on 6/27/2021
Love the look and the easy to read face. Clock setup was easy, alarm not so much. Sound quality is great, but radio reception seems week. Definitely better with Bluetooth.
Pros: Nice look Easy to read face Sound quality
Cons: Radio reception. Alarm setup.

I purchased this as a gift so I don't know how good the sound is, however, it is a JBL and I've been very pleased with the sound of their products. Crutchfield made my purchase very smooth and easy and delivery was spot on.

Great value, great sound
Terrence from Berkeley Heights, NJ on 4/23/2021
Great value, great sound. Was able to set up in minutes, and I don't think it will take long to master the controls in the dark/while half asleep. Easy to read display. Sure you can use your phone as an alarm, but you can really cover the bedroom with decent sound from such a small device. I am impressed. Also I don't get great FM reception at my house but the antenna is better than expected. Way better than the 20 y/o Sony stereo alarm clock that it replaced.
Pros: Sound is tremendous
Cons: You can charge your phone but can not play back through the charging cables. Kind of moot with bluetooth but something buyers should be aware of.

Great company!
Crutchfield customer from Makawao, HI on 2/13/2021
The product is excellent. Very intuitive, great sound and very happy with my purchase. I recently purchased an alarm clock from a different company, it took 8 weeks to get to me and was very unintuitive. I actually received it for free because it took so long to get to me. It's in the trash now. It never would connect via Bluetooth. It was an iHxxx product. Shipping with Crutchfield was very fast and effortless, even all the way to Hawaii. Very pleased with my transaction with Crutchfield.
Pros: Quality product and very fast shipping.
Cons: None.

This unit has a beautiful wake alarm sound, music sounds great; radio or bluetooth. The light is really pretty too.
Pros: Sound quality (Audio)!, size, looks...
Cons: Getting use to the lighting of the display is a little odd.

JBL Horizon 2
Crutchfield customer from Millersville, MD on 1/2/2021
I've been looking a long time to find a alarm clock/radio that fits my needs... I wanted an alarm clock/radio with decent sound that has seperate volume controls for the alarm and radio along with brightness control. This clock does both and more. You can set 2 alarms with differant sound settings (I use one for weekdays and one for weekends) along with volume control for each...when it goes off it starts out low and slowly gets louder so it doesn't blow your head off the pillow! I also like that if I wake up in the middle of the night and turn on the radio (to fall back to sleep with) the manual volume is at your finger tips....the only down side is that the radio contol buttons are very low profile and are hard to find by feel in the dark....all said, I'm happy with the clock.
Pros: Good sound, 2 alarm options with adjustible volume that gently wakes you, the dial light adjust automatically to room light
Cons: The radio control buttons are very low profile and are hard to find by feel in the dark...should make a higher raised button/control.

Where are the control buttons?
Crutchfield customer from Bowdoinham, ME on 12/13/2020
Great clock radio once you have it going. Problem is the controls are smooth with the case which makes it difficult to turn on without looking at the radio top. Tough just waking up...
Pros: Nice sound. Can save three stations,
Cons:
