The Top Clock Radios for Volume

Aluratek AIRMM01 Internet Radio Alarm Clock

$139.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
sound quality is about on par with my old sony alarm clock though it can't get nearly as loud.
from Cary, www.newegg.com
the alarm at first was varying quite but it is an escalating alarm, so it doesn't startle you waking up, instead it slowly eases up to the volume you set.
from www.amazon.com
there is no need for a short wave radio when foreign broadcasts come in loud and clear albeit in their native languages.
from www.amazon.com
only solution i've found: instead of turning radio off, leave the radio on with the volume turned down.
from www.amazon.com
the speaker is good to listen in large room, but you can add external ones and crank up the volume...

i like this clock b.c it's not too loud.
from www.amazon.com
the only down side that i have found out is that the alarm needs to be a little louder, but it will still wake you up.
from www.amazon.com
finally, the analog tuning would be fine, if it wasn't right below and exactly the same size and feel as the volume dial.
from www.amazon.com
*the beeping alarm ramps up in volume, so if you turn it off early on, it won't wake up your bed partner.
from www.amazon.com
also for those of you that say the volume is low when you have it cranked up., if you clean the corn out of your ears, you'd probably hear it better.

but if you lower the nature sounds or the radio volume it affects the alarm volume.
from www.amazon.com
the only thing that i didn't like about the clock was that when i listened to a sound at night, but woke up to the buzzer, the buzzer was about three times as loud as i wound have wanted it to be.
from www.amazon.com
i like the radio because the manual volume and frequency dials are easy to operate compared to more cumbersome digital controls on other clock radios.
from www.amazon.com
it was of no use because music just woke him up faster especially if we put the volume higher.
from www.amazon.com
as pointed out in other reviews, you do have to be sure not to turn down the volume of the clock too much as the buzzer will become quite...duh!!

great sound but the volume is a manual control, not digital.
from www.amazon.com
if it is used on alarm setting rather than cd or radio, it is not very loud, so heavy sleepers may need to use the cd or radio to wake up.
from www.amazon.com
the ugly- the volume dial is located near the back-when i picked it up to change the time for daylight saving time last week i accidently turned the volume off.
from www.amazon.com
one small complaint would be with regard to the volume control.
from www.amazon.com
the volume knob should be more conveniently located (maybe in the front) and should be digital.

- the volume control is difficult; it's a tiny little dial on the side of the machine...
from www.amazon.com
even at high volume, it was clear and crisp.
from www.amazon.com
maybe it just seems loud because other people might be new to it?
from www.amazon.com
the only thing that we were disappointed about was that there is only one volume for the cd alarm.
from www.amazon.com
this unit has a pair of 2" speakers, one on each side, so the sound quality is wonderful at low to mid volumes, making this unit perfect for the bed side or at a cubicle desk.

yes the alarms increasing volume is a pain in the neck, but it does the job and you can't be mad at that.
from M. A. Smith "M A Smith", www.target.com
i have not found the volume level on waking up as bad as other reviewers.
from Northwest Bug, www.target.com
the gradual volume increase and the back light i thought were going to be big issues for me.
from www.amazon.com
otherwise the volume may get very loud before you can stop it.
from TargetFan1, www.target.com
i completely agree with the other reviewer regarding the gradual volume increase- it goes from silent to blaring in under 3 seconds.

the volume isn't that loud; however, you don't need it to be in an office setting.

the dial/knob is not for volume or tuning, which is somewhat counterintuitive.

i am waking up in a much better mood :) the buzzer is neat because it starts out at 1 buzz and progresses to more and louder buzzes.
