From the big, tactile snooze button on down, the Cambridge Soundworks 820HD is nothing but quality. The unit sports a slick, contemporary design, reassuring heft and just the right peppering of knobs and buttons. A bright, 3-inch display provides ample pixels for menu navigation and HD-specific track, station, and artist info. Sound quality is excellent with sparkling highs and resonant lows - impressive considering the unit's compact footprint. We had some issues with the static EQ presets but if you're ready to make the leap to HD, take the plunge here.

EQ options are just not adequate for a $300 device. Pronounced dropouts on certain HD stations. Can't specify HD stations for alarm wake up.
