Presenting the new 2017 contenders: iHome IBT233G Dual Alarm

#Best dual alarm clock radio Bluetooth
It’s the 21st Century and the world’s best alarm clock radio can, and should, be jam-packed with awesome features, so I don’t think it’s unreasonable to include bluetooth connectivity, so I can link my iPhone to the speaker, a high-quality speaker, so I can listen to sweet tracks while napping, USB charging, so I can power up my iPhone overnight, and a backup battery, so I don’t lose my job. While not absolutely mandatory, these features were not entirely optional either. I also insist on dual alarms that can be set separately for weekdays and weekends-nothing irritates me more than waking up at 7am on a weekend, except for waking up at 9:30am on a workday.īright lights also keep me awake, so I need a lot of clock radio whose LED display doesn’t light up the bedroom like an oncoming freight train. Instead, I need an AM/FM radio to engage my brain with news, traffic reports, the downside of which are those unbelievably annoying, motherf#cking Kars4kids radio commercials. While it would be nice to wake to music or nature sounds, that stuff puts me right back to sleep, so it’s somewhat counterproductive. Increasingly (get it?), this “gradually gets louder” volume feature is much more common these days. Apple Music, Spotify, and/or Internet RadioĪs a corollary to my first point, I want an alarm clock that wakes me gradually and gently like a delicate baby, or a dangerous animal with razor-sharp teeth and claws.High quality speakers (stereo, ideally).Hate paragraphs? Here’s a bulleted wishlist of features:
