I bought this for my 9 year old daughter to keep by her bed so she would't need a light AND a clock/radio iPod charger. She reads every night in bed and plays music to go to sleep. This was really expensive, and I really wanted to love it, but its performance is very inconsistent. The buttons, both on the remote and on the device, don't work consistently. Sometimes you hit the light button, and it turns on; sometimes you have to hit the button 5 or 6 times. The same holds true for all the buttons. You try to play music and have to hit play/pause, off/on so many times until it works. You hit the play/pause button, and sometimes it plays the music, sometimes it skips to a different playlist. You hit the power button and it might skip the song on the the device and shut itself down so that even though the device is playing, no sound comes out. I've also had to unplug it a few times and start over because no button responds appropriately. Seriously, I never know what a button is going to do. This is really not what I expected from such an expensive device. The reading light portion is nice, when the button turns it on. It's maneuverable, just bright enough but not too bright. The green indicator light that indicates that the speaker portion is on is WAY too bright. If this is being used at a desk, that's probably not a problem, but it's definitely too bright for bedside. Overall I give this a 3 star rating, just okay, but it's very close to a 2 for me. :(
UPDATE: Now, the music randomly plays super loud when there's been no input. I'm talking in the middle of the night, it all of a sudden plays music at full volume and wakes my daughter up. Just now, I was sitting outside her room and heard her music turn up and then off, turn up and then off, when she was sitting there reading a book. Hopefully this is just a defective unit, but this one is going back!!!! :(((

Just set this up on my desk and it's exactly what I was looking for. It's compact, yet a nice bright light. The sound is a good quality for a close up proximity, just not as good when at a louder setting. The charging works wonderfully, even with an adapter for my iPhone 5s. Overall a good product.
