Homedics SoundSpa AM/FM Radio Our rating:

The Homedics SoundSpa Clock Radio is designed to create the perfect sleep environment with soothing nature sounds, radio and alarm features, and a projector that can display the current time right on your ceiling.

The SoundSpa’s many features make it a very nice alternative to a traditional alarm clock. Not only does it produce a nice calming environment for when you’re trying to relax, but it also makes a much more pleasant alarm clock and provides convenience with a time projector. With six different nature sounds (waterfall, rainforest, spring rain, thunder, summer night, and ocean) the Homedics SoundSpa creates an incredibly relaxing environment for trying to fall asleep or meditate. It can also gradually wake you up to nature sounds rather than a loud and startling ring or buzzer. The quality of the nature sounds is fairly decent, although some seem a bit too much like white noise rather than live sampled audio.

The other outstanding features of the SoundSpa make the minor audio quality concerns almost unnoticeable, however. The easily rotated and focused projector can project the current time right on a wall or ceiling so that you can see it while lying down without ever having to move. The reception of the radio antenna is phenomenal. The SoundSpa is also a very nice compact size and fits easily on a nightstand or table. And, even though it’s nice and compact, the buttons are still large enough and easy to use.

Overall, the Homedics SoundSpa is a very high-quality clock radio with some very nice features. Minor audio sampling concerns are all there is to say negative about it, and even those are barely significant enough to mention. Priced quite reasonably, it’s a great buy for anyone, and especially those who would enjoy or benefit from its very calming and relaxing ambient sounds.
