Timex T600W CD Stereo Clock Radio with Nature Sounds (White)
Manufacturer: Timex
Product Type: CE

Editorial Review:
Product Description
Small yet robust, the Timex T600W is no ordinary clock radio. With a CD player, an 18-preset digital tuner, stereo speakers, four "nature" sound samples, and three separate alarms, the T600W may cost more than the average clock radio, but it still represents a solid value. Short and stout with rounded sides, the T600W looks simply stunning. Its display shows time, date, radio frequency, CD track, and indicates which nature sound (ocean, brook, forest, or birds of paradise) is currently selected for the alarm. Setting the six AM and 12 FM presets is very straightforward, and when powered up the T600W's last-station memory automatically returns to the station selected before the radio was switched off. The sound of the T600W is full and clean. If you want to listen at higher volume levels without disturbing others, you can use the mini headphone jack. All in all, the Timex T600W is a good value: it's small, sounds good, and is chock full of features.

Small yet robust, the Timex T600W is no ordinary clock radio. With a CD player, an 18-preset digital tuner, stereo speakers, four "nature" sound samples, and three separate alarms, the T600W may cost more than the average clock radio, but it still represents a solid value.

Short and stout with rounded sides and a contrasting silver-and-black body, the T600W looks a little intimidating. It has far more buttons than most clock radios, which we suspect may puzzle first-time users. Fortunately, many of these controls are used for setup, while the most frequently used buttons are set apart and logically situated.

The Indiglo (blue) display shows time, date, radio frequency, CD track, and indicates which nature sound (ocean, brook, forest, or wind) is currently selected for the alarm. Setting the six AM and 12 FM presets is very straightforward, and when powered up the T600W's last-station memory automatically returns to the station selected before the radio was switched off.

The sound of the T600W is quite good, but the close proximity of the two speakers yields little stereo separation. And though it does deliver a full, clean sound, don't mistake this clock radio for a mini-stereo system. Turn it up too loud, and the cabinet will start to buzz in protest. If you want to listen at higher levels, we'd suggest using the mini-headphone jack or investing in a more music-oriented clock radio or shelf stereo.

All in all, the Timex T600W is a good value: it's small, sounds good, and is chock full of features. --Wayne Garcia
