5 Reasons a Clock Speaker Is the Best Bedside Gadget

A CockBeat speaker is a 4 in 1 Bluetooth speaker with a built-in digital clock and alarm. It takes the place of your alarm clock, speaker, radio, and phone stand, which are three or four different devices on your bedside table. A clock speaker is a straightforward improvement that makes mornings and nights easier if your bedside table is cluttered with cables and devices or if you still wake up to your phone's loud alarm.

Here are five reasons it deserves a spot next to your bed. 

1. It Wakes You Up Without Your Phone

Most of us use our phone as an alarm. The problem is that it means the phone is the first thing we pick up in the morning and the last thing we put down at night, and one look at notifications can turn into twenty minutes of scrolling.

A clock speaker takes the alarm off your phone. The Tempt Juggler ClockBeat, for example, has dual alarms with 4 alarm tones, so you can set one alarm for a weekday and another for a weekend, or one for you and one for your partner. The time is always visible on its digital display, so you don't need to reach for your phone in the middle of the night just to check the time.

2. Music, Podcasts and Radio Before Bed

A lot of people enjoy listening to stories, podcasts, or gentle music while they go to sleep. When you play it on your phone's speaker, the sound quality is terrible and the phone is in close proximity to your pillow.

A clock speaker gives you better sound from your bedside. The ClockBeat has a 5W speaker with a 57mm full-range driver and connects to your phone over Bluetooth 5.4 from up to 10 metres away. It also has a built-in FM radio and a micro SD card slot (up to 32GB), so you can play music even without connecting your phone.

3. It Keeps Your Phone in One Place

A bedside table quickly fills up with a phone, a charging cable, glasses and a water bottle. A clock speaker with a phone holder keeps your phone upright and in one place, so you can see your screen, watch a video or take a video call without holding it.

The ClockBeat also has a pen holder, which makes it just as useful on a study table or work desk as it is on a bedside table.

4. More Than Just the Time

A good clock speaker shows more than the time. The ClockBeat's display also shows the date and the room temperature. It is a small feature, but it is useful when you wake up and want to know if you need a light blanket or a jacket before stepping out.

5. One Gadget, Less Clutter

You can purchase an alarm clock, speaker, radio, and phone stand all at once instead of purchasing them separately. This results in a cleaner bedside table, fewer devices to charge, and fewer cords.

With a 1500mAh rechargeable battery, the ClockBeat can play music at 70% volume for up to 6 hours and 20 minutes. It can be charged via USB Type-C. Additionally, it features TWS pairing, which allows you to connect two ClockBeat speakers for stereo sound, and an integrated microphone for hands-free calling.

Is a Clock Speaker Right for You?

A clock speaker is a good choice if you:

• Want to stop using your phone as an alarm

• Like listening to music, radio or podcasts before bed

• Have a small bedside table or study desk

• Are looking for a useful, practical gift for a student, a parent or a friend
