Anyone use alarm clocks still?

The Chinese have gotten ahold of Bluetooth technology now and are throwing it in everything. About 6-7 years ago, circuits were a little higher quality in my opinion. Now, the Bluetooth receivers are so cheap, you don't know if they're quality or trash until you use them. I've got one Bluetooth radio that sits next to my bed...it works great, but in Bluetooth mode, when paired with my phone...the radio restarts constantly. It doesn't do this in FM mode or using the Aux input in the back.

A lot of hotel chains I've stayed in have bought the iHome brands. At least you know they have a lot of units out there these days if they have those contracts. The only annoyance there is I'm an android guy, so I don't like the 30pin or lightning docks.

pretty sure they do make ihome clocks for android phones too.
most of the reviews for them on amazon seem to be not that great though.

for 1 thing they seem to be big, or adding a phone to top of it in the dock makes it too high for my liking. a lot of them have issues with being too bright or not being able to adjust the brightness. They tend to be expensive as well.

the ones that I seem to like or get good reviews are way too expensive for what I want out of them...

My cell phones don't come into the bedroom. If someone really needs me, they can call the house phone and wake me up. Otherwise, it can wait.

Agree.
