+ Gr8 design, cool alarm clock, and works with every ipod except the iphone.
- while listening to a track, you cannot change the volume using the touch buttons. You have to use the remote. And it has a very weak light which they call a lamp!

+ Looks good sounds good The alarn and time is not the easist things to set up but once it is setup it is okay to use.
- Yhe setup is not the easist things to do. I found that turning thw alarm on to the desired time is a bit of a fiddle.

+ like the design - looks good
- poor sound quality- very little bass & no controls for bass or treble - a bit disappointed but I suppose it is generally just a clock

+ Great sound, looks good and clear display
- Setting of time and alarms is not very intuitive. Was using it in my motorhome and without manual I was not able to reset time. Usually I can figure these things out with manual but this one beat me

The 24/7 is another reworking of the BlackBox range from Gear4, but unlike the other models in this iPod alarm clock range, the Gear4 BlackBox 24/7 doesn't have the benefit of Bluetooth.
