Does this alarm clock have a headphone jack?

November 18, 2007 2:25 PM

I'd like to find an alarm clock that supports playing MP3 files through a USB drive or memory card. I found this one which seems almost perfect. But does it have a headphone jack?

The specs and pictures don't show one and the only company that seems to carry this model can't be bothered to confirm it. Can anyone say for sure if this model has a headphone jack? Alternatively, is there another alarm clock that can play MP3s from a memory card/USB drive that does have a headphone jack?

This may not be what you're looking for, but I thought I should mention that you can make your computer play mp3s at a designated time. That's my 'alarm clock'.

Hover your cursor over the image at the bottom right. No head-phone jack. Doubt there is one anywhere else on the clock either.

Question: Can you explain when and where you will be using this? At home I would assume? Or maybe at work for some reason. The reason I am being so nosy is, maybe we can suggest a comparable alternative.

Response by poster: B(oYo)BIES: that this is an alarm clock is almost secondary, it's just that I have limited space on my nightstand.

The reason I want something like this is so I can listen to MP3s as I fall asleep at night. I have an iPod, but it's first generation and does not fit the dock connectors. I really like the idea of the removeable media so that's why I lean towards a device like this.

We're using a Chumby as an alarm clock and it does that.

It's a bit more spendy than an alarm clock might be worth to you, but it also has an I Can Haz Cheezburger channel, and perhaps that'll make it worth the asking price. (My husband was more excited about an alarm clock with SSH.)
