Boston Acoustics Horizon Solo High Performance AM/FM Clock Radio

This is a nicely designed product with all the necessary features without bring overly complicated. Sound quality is well above average as is overall build quality. FM sensitivity was more than adequate. My favorite detail is the way the alarm music fades up to the preset volume rather than scaring me awake. Only complaint is the pushbutton switch on the center knob used to turn the alarm off, which requires a little too much force to operate. Overall the best clock radio I've owned.

Excellent design, I bought two

This is a well thought out radio, clearly stands out from the rest of the crowd, deserving of the 5 star rating given the competition, esp the ugly clumsy boombox/radios. This unit has simple controls, legible display, lots of features, good sound.

I especially like the preset feature allowing rapid cycling through fm and am preset stations, without having to do a band change. Dual alarms are a nice feature too. I like the thought they put into keeping the front simple and uncluttered, without skimping on features. The case is sturdy and attractive.

The only thing I can think of to add would be a light-touch mute button, as the on/off takes a little bit of force. If you need the ipod dock, they have a stereo model.

Nice Unit

Unit does have good AM/FM reception. Sounds good too. Only 'buggy' thing about it is having to go through the menu of options to select things like sleep timer or presets - a simple button would be better & easier to use.

odor and heat

I use it in a fringe area and it pulls in distant stations well and without static.
It has tone controls, a great improvement over it's predecessor the Receptor that has too much bass and no tone control.
But like the Receptor, it makes a lot of heat even when off. Tech support cannot tell me how much power it draws when off or on.
And it has a strong chemical odor that tech support says is due to a little too much adhesive. Over four weeks time, this has improved and is now acceptable.
Overall I'm quite satisfied

Simple radio, Amazing sound!

This radio looks like it doesn't do much, which may be true. But if you get yourself an AUX cable and hook it up to your iPod or computer, throw on some Internet radio, Supreme! I use this radio at the office and when I need to answer the phone, it turns off real easy and visa versa. Also, my office is a preverbal black home to signals, But this radio can pull out radio signals effortlessly! I highly recommend this product!
