Product Reviews for Sony ICFCD3iP CD Clock Radio for iPod and iPhone

By BlueWave7 from Pennsylvania on 6/5/2010

I bought this clock a few months ago to replace an older clock I had, and this clock here has been great. Let me start with it has a nice big LCD screen on it, you can also adjust the brightness on it, One feature I mainly bought this for was for the iPod charger, I always leave my iPod sit on the charging dock when I am not using it and it does not overcharge your iPod either. This clock can also play music from your iPod and the clock comes with a nice remote to play your music across the room. It has the ability to play CD's as well, and has a dual alarm clock. Its the perfect size clock too, you could fit it on a small end table or shelf. One last thing, you can also choose to wake up with either a CD, Radio or iPod. Overall I am very pleased with my purchase.

This is a great radio/cd/ipod device that would be great as long as you don't use it on your nightstand or anywhere in your bedroom. Even with the LCD screen on low, you can read by it at night.

This clock radio is full of great features and best of all for me, battery backup supporting power interruptions. I don't have my iPhone yet but knowing this item supports it is all the more reason it was a good choice.

I bought this for a gift for my fiance to save space on the night stand, so he can wake up to the radio vs. the blarring sound of a buzzer. For the life of us, we both can't figure out how to get the alarm to go to radio, when we try and set it, it always defaults to the buzzer or does not go off at all, and he is late to see his patients. The radio antenna is not great and the radio sound is not so clear, I'm guessing the designers assumed most people would not use the radio, rather the iPod or iPhone. Outside of these 2 issues, everything else is great.

Pros:-Love the nice sliding dock for iPhone/iPod-They come with an iPhone universal adapter (not an iPod)-Led light brightness settings are fine for me-Sound is ok for it serves more of an alarm clock (more of speaker sound)-iPhone 3G compatible-iPhone 3G charges without any error message, make sure you align it properly and carefully when docking-CapsuleNeo for iPhone 3G with dock adapter fits it wohooo!-Since CapsuleNeo would fit, I'm almost certain any case with the right "universal adapter" will fit this dock-They really made this for an iPhone in mind (but not entirely)-All alarm features work fine as describer (with radio,iPod/iPhone,buzzer,CD)-CD features would let you repeat, repeat all, shuffle-It includes an audio in, in case you want to connect it to other devices-There's also a jack if you want to connect this radio clock to better speakers-Time feature (Pacific Standard Time for me) with auto DST correct-Neat round design-Remote can almost do anything-BEST PART: Their back up battery for clock and especially ALARM feature! I've been hating alarm clocks that won't buzz when power goes down (or got a reset or something)Cons:-Remote can't do the sleep feature, you have to press the button on the clock, I was hoping they would allow you to do it on the remote-Remote won't be able to toggle the Shuffle/Repeat/Repeat All for the iPod playlists on your iPod/iPhone ...this I really want-You need to be careful of the front part, since it's the CD cover for the player.Overall:For $99 I'd say it's recommended, the cons that I listed are mostly owner-based. The only thing was that the shuffle feature or the repeat for the iPhone won't work on the remote nor the Clock radio itself. So if I had to rate this from 1 to 10 being ten the highest, I'll give this one an eight! It's definitely recommended.
