Mavizen 168SB Dual Alarm Clock Radio With iPod Speaker Dock

This is a very good piece of kit, I use it as a bedside clock/radio/dock.
Looks:
-It looks like a classic style clock radio, with the dark colours, it looks good, not cheap.
-The clock display(the blue round bit) is clear, and easy to see, and displays the important information.

Clock:
-2 Alarms, which can be used independently or together, you can set it to start the radio(FM or AM), ipod or Buzz. It is clear and has a snooze function(8 Minutes) and a sleep function(of up to 2 Hours)

Radio:
-FM or PM, quality isnt amazing but good enough for a normal radio
-You can have 10 Presets of FM stations and 10 of AM stations, although they cant be named

Ipod/Aux:
-several dock adapters provided for differnt size iPods(6 sizes)
-Aux input for other audio devices cannot be used as an alarm.
-Volume, next/previous,Play/pause butttons

Overall Pros:
-2 alarms is very helpful, you can have one for work days and one for days off!
-Speaker quality is quite good, not as good as a proper set of speakers but good enough, I put my iPod onto bass booster EQ setting and this makes it sound a bit better
-Charges your iPod aswell
-Sleep function
-Option to use batterys
-subwoofer output(havn't used this though)

Cons:
-controls can be a bit strange at first, theyre find once you get used to them though.
-The power cord is hard wired in, so if you want to run off batteries the power cable is still dangling there.
-Radio antenna isn't terribly long(about 50-60cm)
-Remote is small and easy to lose
-No date function, it doesn't store the date
-Finally, the most annoying thing is the display light, it has two brightnesses, one which is very bright and one which is a bit dimmer. There is no option to turn the light off, this is extremly annoying at night time, especially as I use it as my alarm clock. I find the remote standing up next to the screen covers up most of the light, but its still an annoying thing.

I use it with my iPhone 3g and it works fine, it charges it fine and the general usage of the phone is fine. It comes up with a message when you plug it in saying that the iphone can set itself to Flight mode to avoid any interference with the accessory. To this I just choose the No option. When you receive a text or phonecall the spakers do the buzzing thing all speakers do when they are near phones, but it only occurs when sending/receiving data.

I hope this was helpful!

play.com have done it again absolutly amazing piece of kit great build. Weight is quality looks beautifull sounds beautifull easy to use could go on and on but wont bore you. only to say play.com surely the best website on the net i love them!

Ordered this for under £20, was pulled in by the price when you have to pay good money for good quality iPod docks. Lovely finish, charges iPhone 3G, plays all tracks through the speakers. Best part being the sound quality, really loud at the same time very clear. Alarm function great, can have 2 pre-set alarms, 20 pre-set radio stations. wake up to the radio or favourite iPod track. One of the best iPod docks for its price. If your looking for quality for a great price this is it.

Well aren't I a happy clam.

I've been after a dock that'll charge my iphone 3g for a while now. I actually tried to cancel this, after seeing a rival site mentioning it does not work with or charge the new models.

Its definately on the higher end up sub £30 alarm clocks :P The build quality is fantastic. It doesn't feel light, or cheap, and the blue light is gorgeous.

My music files sound fine, the radio's a bit rubbish, but that's just pretty standard, and the only problem sofar is a buzzing noise when the unit isn't on standby. Its SILENT when on standby (and still charges my phone).

I'll follow up this review soon, as I had a scare with another dock that worked previously, where it was charging, but when I removed it after having it charge, the phone actually burned me. (Brand was called Limit.)

Anyway, very chuffed, and for the price, I couldn't ask for more.

Mine arrived today, it works with my Iphone 3g (despite showing a message saying it won't?). The FM radio is good (long aerial provided, so lots of adjustment avalible). Sound quality is surprisingly good for a unit of this size. Easily comparable with similar units costing nearly £100. I got it for my kitchen and would consider more for other rooms.
