Looking For a Decent Wi-Fi Alarm Radio

[Verdinut]

I have been using a cheap SONY Alarm radio for about 20 years. Because of the orientation of my bedroom, at times I have been getting poor and noisy reception, and I figure that it's about time to think of purchasing a decent alarm radio with Wi-fi/Internet reception.

I have been looking at the following product which isn't cheap and should have decent sound:

Amazon.com: Ocean Digital WiFi/FM Internet Radio WR230S Alarm Clock Radio with Bluetooth Receiver & Ethernet Port, Stereo Speakers, Line Out, Aux in, 20,000+ Stations, 2.4" Color Display- Black in Wooden Case: Home Audio & Theater

Buy Ocean Digital WiFi/FM Internet Radio WR230S Alarm Clock Radio with Bluetooth Receiver & Ethernet Port, Stereo Speakers, Line Out, Aux in, 20, 000+ Stations, 2.4" Color Display- Black in Wooden Case: Internet Radios - Amazon.com ✓ FREE DELIVERY possible on eligible purchases

www.amazon.com

I could get it for about C$216 by importing it through Amazon.com, but it would cost me C$300 ($261 + tax) by buying it from Amazon.ca.

Has anyone used that product? Or is there another one which a few of the reliable members here can recommend me?

Don't you have a full audio system in your bedroom already? Maybe a smart device to wake it up and blast ya with that? In retirement I rarely use an alarm (and just use my phone if I need one), otoh haven't had a clock radio in quite a long time at all, when I worked I needed alarms to be annoying (and usually at least two of them), with nice music I'd probably just fall back asleep .

I don't have any system in my bedroom, only my desktop PC.

I would not depend an alarm clock without a battery backup, unless you put the alarm radio on an UPS.

Do you have any Sonos pieces?

How to Use Sonos as an Alarm or Sleep Timer

Sonos is great because you can set up and control speakers from any room in your dwelling. If you like to wake up to or fall asleep to music, then they’re especially well suited to have in your bedroom.

You could probably program that to wake up and play....
