If I listen to music in the bedroom, it’s quiet anyway. The stereo speakers aren’t all that powerful, but like a clock, they don’t need to be. I’m very satisfied with using it day in and day out. I’ve used the AS111 for over a month and it is an exceptional device. Related: Also check out our Panasonic RF 2400D review. The clock will set its time based on your phone’s time. The dock works off of the software, so once the Fidelio app is downloaded, just connect the dock to your phone and the rest happens automatically. The brightness of the clock LED can also be adjusted. It has a slight orange hue and is very calm and pleasant. Finally, there’s a night light on the underbelly of the dock. There’s also a button to turn on and off phone charging, which some users will find very attractive for conserving energy. When connected to a device via Bluetooth, the media buttons on the top can control music playback (play, pause, next and previous track). On the back, there’s an AUX-in port for wired audio playback. It has a round base with a clock on the front, speakers on the top, and little else.

Android does not currently support audio out through USB, but all Philips Android docks do, so when Android does support it, the AS111 will be ready (after a firmware update to the hardware). It connects to devices via Bluetooth and only Bluetooth. It has a MicroUSB connector for Android smartphones, though will charge any device with a MicroUSB port. Similar to the Native Union MM04i Honey Comb BT iDock, the AS111 is a very succinct, simple device.
Speaking of brilliant, that’s what comes to mind when I think of some of the best speakers on the market. The bedroom clock may be the first serious step in that direction, and the Philips Fidelio AS111 Android Dock is a brilliant step forward. The phone is the center of our world, and everything else plays around it. As someone who has a love/hate relationship with alarm clocks (doesn’t everybody?), a dock that can double as an alarm clock, completely controlled by the phone…that’s the future. Android docks are finally coming into their own in a big way.
