Best clock radio ever designed... but today, you have to be a tinkerer to get them to be functional.
The user interface on this clock radio is THE very best ever for such a product. It allows you to change the alarm setting extrmely quickly and precisely in either and up or down direction using the two alarm setting dials in the front. Its alarm on indicator is outstaning... two red light light up in the tips of the alarm setting.
HOWEVER... few today should consider buying this model of Sony clock radio, because it requires a LOT of work by an experienced electronics tinkerer to get it working. You need to replace the old tiny bulbs with LEDs, for the old bulbs burn out. The right glue, size LED, and dopping resistor is required. You need to take apart and clean the inside contacts of switches for the buttons, for Sony screwed up, tried to engineer their own button switches instead of buying ones from a company who knew how to make switches, and failed disastrously. I found just the right buttons to add on to replace the badly engineered ones. When fully restored this is a trely outstanding clock radio.
But 99.5% or more of folks looking for something like this would be FAR FAR FAR better off buying the Sony EZ7, which has propper buttons that don't (for the most part) wear out, and when they do can be replaed (if you are a tinkerer with industry standard button switch mechanisms. The EZ7 also has better (stereo, too) sound.
ALL these EZ radios will not turn on until you set the clock. ALL have a compartment for a 9V backup for power failure battery, that DOES NOT have battery cover, even tho it looks like it needs one.
Get the EZ7. You'll love it. I do own about 6 of the ICF-C55W (should be called the EZ-1 model) radios ,which I restored, and they are outstanding. But... it took me 2 hrs of skilled labor to restore them. And some knowledge of electronics and mechanics.
ONE OTHER THING: The fluorescent display on this line of radios sometimes fails, fading to faintness over the years. BE SURE when you buy any EZ radio its display is nice and bright. THERE IS NO FIX for dim display in these!!!
I sure wish they made as intelligently set up user interfaces as these Sony EZ 1 thru 7 radios have... with a long lasting modern LED or raster screen display.

Very good to excellent, with some annoying flaws
I own six sets of this wireless headphone, for use on various TVs, music systems, etc. at my residences and friends' residences, to assist me (I'm somewhat hard of hearing) and keep from annoying others in the room with me by running the volume too loud.
The good: These are extremely light and comfortable to wear headphones. Especially, to wear for long periods of time. The sound quality is excellent. There is near no hiss. The range is respectable within the house or apartment. Thus electronically and acoustically, these are outstanding wireless headphones.
The problematic:
The user interface is demented. First problem is you usually have to first turn on (with a tap of the button) the transmitter module, THEN turn on the headphones, each time you use them. Earlier models of Sennheiser wireless headphones automatically turned the transmitter on when they detected an audio signal. Thus you have to walk up to the transmitter puck, wherever it is, when starting to use the headphones. A potential annoyance, tho not a deal breaker.
More of a problem is the outrageously stupidly incompetent positioning by Sennheiser of the On/Off button right BETWEEN (and flush with) the volume up and volume down buttons. It is essentially impossible to adjust the volume while wearing the headphones without accidentally hitting the power button sooner or later. How the designers could be THIS stupid boggles my mind.
You'll have to decide if you want to live with this aspect of this product.
I liked the product, otherwise, so very much, that for all six I own, I took them apart, desoldered the power button, and installed and wired in an alternate power button mounted a little aways from the volume up and down buttons. This completely fixed the problem, and now I LOVE my Sennheiser RS160 headphones. But the mod is a bit tricky, involving working with surface mount parts, custom cutting holes in the headphone, and soldering up a little circuit board with the new button and connecting wires. Involves at least modest electronic construction / tinkering experience. It's easy to damage the circuit board attempting to remove the original on/off button, which is surface mount soldered to the board. At this point, having done a half dozen of them, it takes me about 30 minutes to do the modification. The first one took me an hour or more, for I had to work out aspects of the approach and strategy.

Outstanding light weight comfortable headphones
While not giving quite as good sound reproduction as $200 to $800 audiophile headphones, these produce exceptional sound, and are the most light weight and comfortable over the ear headphones I've ever used. And I've used very many.
A superb choice for everyday use with your mobile devide, computer, or other source of sound.
You can also buy for them replacement cords that include a microphone for use with your mobile phone.
Highly recommended
