    Not really, the DAB radio alarm is really good value, you can buy a radio alarm for around this price from almost anywhere....
    The question is, is the DAB on it any good?

    DAB isn't exactly a premium product as it is, they ruined it in the UK by packing so many stations into such a small amount of space... if you want good audio quality then stick with standard FM radio, if you want choice then use internet radio via your computer or one of those expensive wifi radio players.

    Though for a DAB radio, it's a good price.

    seems to be mono to me, bit sad to put in the spec that it's got a stereo headphone socket

    Wish they would include TWO alarm settings.

    Much more convenient.

    EDIT: Ah, just noticed the Argos one does.

    Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.

    Ah but the Argos one has an Ipod dock - I have one and it is very good. It has twin alarms, is stereo, has a digital tuner, will wake you up to radio, buzzer or Ipod tunes, charges your Ipod and has a remote control.

    I'd say that was unlike 99.9% of clock radios for anywhere near this price - which is why I bought one!

    I also have a separate DAB radio which is excellent for listening to AM stations but is annoyingly 5 seconds behind analogue (so rubbish for phone in competitions!)
    BE NICE - IT'S FREE!
