          Sneaky little sucker!

          Designed to jump from your nightstand and run around the room beeping if you press snooze or dont get up
          • Snooze can be set anywhere from zero to nine minutes, zero being to jump and run right away with no snooze for those earlier risers
          • Can jump up to three feet and land safely on your floor
          • Alarm beeps randomly and the screen flashes for the ultimate annoyance to get you out of bed

        Why is this getting downvotes?

        Usually happens when something worthwhile is being said. I'm used to it.

        my guess:
        * not many with experience with the great older Sony hardware
        * not many caring about longevity or easy (quick) battery swaps, let alone years into the future
        * not many aware that batteries age & need eventual replacement
        * not many aware that they lose capacity as they age
        * most now buying new devices after only short periods of time (sometimes at low cost)
        * retiring the old stuff early (& never seeing the need for removable batteries)
        * changing perceptions of embedded batteries because they have an iPad or iPhone or android tablet/phone that "works fine" with an embedded battery
        * general ignorance / general apathy
        * despite the environmental propaganda, companies have stopped caring & so have their customers

          @Al Kider: Those people are stupid. There is nothing convenient about an internal battery. Nothing is convenient about having a product that deteriorates and can't be easily fixed for something as simple as battery degradation.

          The only time a non removable battery should be accepted is when it is required for some other feature, such as waterproofing.

          Look like sony marketing department coming after me now.

          I do remember when sony was high quality. It was everything apple is today. Innovative, expensive, high quality, and came with proprietary connections even when not necessarily.

          I think those days are finished.

        • cheepwun on 11/12/2016 - 16:34

          @Al Kider:

          Some might see internal battery as a convenience.

          Not too convenient when you want power quickly and you have to wait to charge the single internal battery that happens to be flat. And not too convenient as the battery ages, trying to do surgery on a unit just to keep it useful beyond the life of the battery.

          Most users simply dispose of the unit and buy another because it's all too much hassle and/or expense. Peak waste. In more promising news, Sony's other voice recorder models stick to removables. Easy enough to buy rechargeable AAAs today. Along with AA. And never be caught out.

    • Cleremy on 08/12/2016 - 17:20

      Peak waste = peak sales.

      Corporations are designed for profit to be the only objective. The greater good is not something important enough to consider.

      • cheepwun on 11/12/2016 - 16:40

        …which makes it all the more weird that they have no problem sticking to removables in their other voice recorder models. I guess their primary objective with this model was smaller size. The screen isn't sunlight-viewable either…though it does great indoors.

    Is that so the alarm clock can record your snoring ???

    • scrimshaw on 06/12/2016 - 13:31
      +10

      Yes, it's called the Single alarm clock for a reason. Targeted towards single people, it records the sounds of their breathing and snoring, so your following (lonely) nights it can play back the snoring to simulate the sounds a sleeping partner would make.

          @Louis Litts:
          I ordered just after 12. I've been keeping an eye on it, because I'd been looking for an mp3 player and this was in the picture for the 12 Deals of Christmas promotion. Before this it was letting me add 100 to my cart, but warned me that some were backorder. There used to be a range of colours and now there is only pink, it may just be the last of their stock. It won't let me click checkout when I add it to my cart now.

    • Dealayed on 06/12/2016 - 20:28

      Anyone knows how this compares to an ipod? Of all the players I have used, my 7 year old ipod touch 3rd gen has the best sound quality and battery life which is why I continue to use it despite the annoying transfer process.

      Sorry for a dense question, but what's the point of a digital voice recorder in the smartphone age? I am guessing it has better quality mics etc, but if it's just for recording voice, does it really matter?

      • scrimshaw on 06/12/2016 - 17:31

        namely sound quality. Some smartphones, like the iPhone6, uses high-pass filters which cuts out sounds that are lower in frequency than 300 hertz. This technology eliminates a lot of wind noise and other background noise that happens at around 270 Hz but also makes voices sound tinny and distant.

        With a voice recorder, the sounds you record (namely, people's voices) will sound more accurate.

      • Russ on 07/12/2016 - 00:38

        According to this article, "handsets with Android 5 and above will accept any USB-connectible digital microphone via an USB OTG cable."
        http://www.phonearena.com/news/Five-great-external-microphon…

        Plenty of good-quality USB microphones available, so I agree with you, just use a smartphone. With an external USB mic if you want high quality.

    Just an FYI for anyone interested in the alarm clock, I have had this one for a while and radio seems to go out of tune every couple of days and you have to move the little manual dial to get the station in tune again so I pretty much stopped using it.

    That being said it could just be the area I'm in or I got a dodgy one.

    • Nvidia Fxxk You on 06/12/2016 - 14:08

  • rossi on 06/12/2016 - 14:33

    The best part about this clock is that the brightness is adjustable. I have mine set to the lowest and it's visible but doesn't light up the whole room like most clocks do.

    • Zenskas on 06/12/2016 - 14:48

      Can you completely turn the display off separately from the rest of it? Or at least turn the backlight off entirely? It looks like a nice bedside alarm radio but I'm pretty sensitive to any sources of light when I'm trying to go to sleep.

      • rossi on 06/12/2016 - 15:26

        Nope just 3 brightness levels to choose from.

  • AlanI on 06/12/2016 - 14:52

    I got this clock when it was cheap at Woolworths a few weeks back. They can give off this annoying buzzing noise when no music is playing (e.g. it started doing it at 3am the first night I put it next to my bed). I thought it was a once-off, but it started doing it the following night too in the middle of the night.

    I had to unplug it permanently and now it just sits next to my bed dead.

    Other people on OzBargin where reporting the same issue in that deal, so it looks like it might be a design fault. Your millage may vary.

    • Zenskas on 06/12/2016 - 14:55

      Thanks for the heads up. As nice a clock it is for the price I'd rather not risk hearing annoying buzzing noises at night time. I've finally moved into a house where neighbours, dogs, street noise etc are all very minimal at night time and I'm not giving that up for an alarm clock :P

  • huit on 06/12/2016 - 15:37

    I have this clock and it looks great, never actually used the radio or the alarm function once because it's sitting on a counter top mostly serving as a clock.

    One minor annoyance is that the Australian market version can only display in 12-hour time with an AM-PM indicator, unlike the European version which will display 24-hour time, and there's no way of switching as it's programmed in. All my other watches/clocks/phones except this one have been set to display 24-hour time so something to consider if you've got a bit of OCD.

  • montorola on 06/12/2016 - 16:09
