 good idea let down by poor design/build November 2, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Looks great in the reviews, but in practice, the buttons did not respond to being pressed (preset 4 and alarm combinations). This got better eventually, and as a result I decided not to return it. BIG MISTAKE.
The unit heats up the table quite a bit, and and the iPod get very hot when docked, uncomfortably so.
I have not been able to get the 2 alarms to work sequentially, and when I "snooze" the alarm, I get 60:00 on the time display - for obvious reasons, the time is the best thing to see when you're thinking about getting up. There have been times when the alram has not gone off... also, if you adjust the volume once the radio alarm has sounded, you will then see the radio tuning info instead of the clock!!!
Not sure if this is by accident or design, since I wrote to Support, and they have not got back to me after 2 weeks. So it's time to publicise the poor design/build of their product.
I bought this to listen to my iPod in my bedroom, and I can't do that. I bought it to wake me up, and I can't rely on its performance. What's it good for???
I recommend not to buy this article. Only buy this from a bricks and mortar retailer, where you can easily and conveniently get your money back if it doesn't work as you expect.

Was in the market for a fairly high quality clock radio with an Ipod dock--I thought the big box stores would be fine for this, and bought an off brand--Crossley, for $80, since there was no Bose with radio and ipod dock. Ended up returning it, and buying this, on sale, through an Amazon affiliate. Very pleased with Boston Acoustics--obviously high quality, substantial machine, with excellent FM reception. Very smart looking too--photos don't do it justice.
Worth every penny!!! October 13, 2008
The Boston Acoustics - Horizon Duo-I is an amazing accessory for the Ipod. If you are in another room, you would think that it is a complete sound system playing. The sound is clear and crisp. It is a pleasure to wake up to music (it does not just blast music when it comes on, it gradually increases in volume). You have the ability to adjust the bass/treble to your liking. I would high recommend this item if you are looking for docking system that thinks music first. It also comes with a remote.
I like it. October 13, 2008
The controls take a minute to get used to, but once you do, it's the shizzle. Sounds great and it's not that big. i use it right next to my head, so I never turn it up loud, but it can crank, if that's what you want. Sounds good at low volume or loud. Excellent quality, which seems hard to find in these days of diminishing technological integrity.
Perfect Clock Radio for me October 8, 2008
I received the unit yesterday. Easy to setup, great sound, and a nice looking unit on the nightstand. It is fairly large, but exudes quality. To my ear, it sounds better than the Bose Wave radio in the other room. Alarms are very easy to set, the snooze feature is perfection:
To snooze, you touch the metal rim that runs around the radio - tapping the snooze more than once extends the snooze period by 5 more minutes - eg 3 taps adds 10 minutes to the default 10 minute snooze. How cool is that? When the alarm sounds, it gently increases volume for both music or the tone alarm.
Very VERY happy with this purchase!
