According to our alarm clock expert
The JBL Horizon alarm clock wakes you up with the hits from your favorite radio station or the standard buzzer. Do you prefer to listen to your own music in the morning? Stream music from your phone to the alarm clock via Bluetooth. This functionality also makes the JBL Horizon suitable as a speaker during a party. Thanks to the 2 USB ports, you can easily charge a phone or a tablet via the device. Do you like to wake up relaxed? The JBL Horizon is equipped with LED lights that emit slowly increasing light around the set alarm time, so it looks like you're waking up to natural sunlight.

I was very doubtful. Had already read many reviews that said that the numbers were difficult to see in the dark, the setting was complicated and that the buttons are difficult to find in the dark. I ordered it anyway because I couldn't find a nicer alarm clock that also has 2 USB connections and if I didn't like it I could just return it. So little risk!
I've had it for a week now. I really think it's a great device. Yes the numbers are dimmed in the dark. However for me that's fine. With most alarm clocks you have a bowl of light in your bedroom. This alarm clock is just right. I can read the time well at night. I could imagine it could be tricky at a certain angle. It does not bother me. Settings are very good. Time and alarm are set like this. There are much trickier devices. I didn't find it difficult. Switching off the alarm by touch is also not difficult. It takes some getting used to, but the button you have to press has a little curvature that can be felt well in the dark. In addition, those 2 USB connections are very nice for charging my smartphone and the sound is also great. Overall, I'm very happy with this purchase so far!

We had been looking for some (actually 2) good clock radios for a while. In this age of smartphones, a clock radio seems to be a dying item and in my opinion some innovation in this area is lacking. Until I saw this JBL Horizon, and also the Pure Siesta rise (see other review). I had already read some reviews (6m ago), but was still not convinced by several points from:
Further investigation revealed that JBL was aware of this and would update their software. This was also confirmed after contact with JBL.
So, after the Pure Siesta Sunrise (which will probably also be returned), hopeful after the purchase, it was time for the disappointment;
I understand that JBL's engineering department has done the simple adjustments (adjusting some parameters in their software) instead of a more extensive update that requires one to adjust menus and add items in the navigation of the clock (those complaints were known for at least 6 months and reported by many on the JBL website) Furthermore, some smaller minuses, such as not automatically setting the clock. Something that is easy to realize, if RDS was integrated in the receiver, which also immediately yields station names instead of frequencies. Some controls are also without relief, so that it is a bit difficult to find in the dark, but you can get used to that.
Of course, it should not be forgotten that this is a beautiful looking device, feels robust, is sufficiently heavy so that you do not knock it over and offers a decent sound quality, which you also expect from a manufacturer like JBL. Double USB ports for charging your mobile devices is also nice.
