I became aware of this product after binge watching this channel. My GF and me both purchased one shortly after. It's a really nice product, the only gripe I have is that when I set an alarm, it's displayed as AM/PM. I would have much preferred Millitary time options too.
@@drdj69 It does display the 24 hour format, the same as my phone setting, on the clock face. It’s just when you try to set the alarm when it’s always PM/AM. I never use that format so would prefer to be able to set the alarm in the same 24 hour format.
That's impressive! I really like how this alarm clock looks, it is perfect for all designs. But the most interesting thing for me is that you can mix all those sounds. Amazing! Why no one did it before?
Good review man! Awesome device. Just wish you could save a preset of the ambient sound locally on the Wakey so you won't have to keep the phone connected
Thank you! Yeah that would be really good. Could have one of the touch buttons at the button instantly toggle on the preset ambient sound too...maybe Wakey 2!
great review! love it, i hope the video isn't powered by anker as well hehe. i really need some other recommendation especially for the sound quality, would you please to give honest review or compare it with the jbl horizon and others similiar product.
No this video isn't sponsored by Anker, and I didn't receive any money to make it! I just really like the speaker, and as always this was my honest review! I've not tested out JBL Horizon yet, but hopefully I can in the future!
I belong to a very nieche customer group and am very pleased to hear that Wakey has a real FM receiver as opposed to DAB radio. I heard it's also possible to use the radio as the wake up sound. With this setup, do you know if it starts the radio at your chosen volume setting or does it start from zero, slowly rising to your desired volume?
@@insidetechltd That's too bad. :( That's the only feature I can't seem to find in any alarm clock. A real FM radio that fades in at wake up time. I thought I'd just found it.
Great review, I guess if there was a rechargeable battery on board it would’ve been much better, 90 minutes back up battery is not enough, if Electrcity is out for more than that it would be a problem
Great In-dept review man! Helped me confirm my decision but was also wondering if i should wait for Wakey 2 but we have no idea if its even coming, i tried looking up for rumours but no luck. Is there anything better like this that has released recently?
Thanks a lot! To be honest, at the rate technology moves forwards, there's constantly something new being released. So really I think you've got to look at what the current device has, and see if you can pinpoint any specific features you wanted it to have that are missing - weigh this up against the price and then make a decision. If you're happy with everything it does for the price it currently is, then go for it! To answer more directly though, I'm not aware of anything that's of better value right now - but I tend to find with Anker / Soundcore you get pretty good value, i've always liked dealing with them
@@insidetechltd I forgot to respond to ur comment but i am visiting this video again today to give an update after using it for 2 months and its absolutely amazing, the whitenoise is the best, great presets they have, doesn't feel like its on repeat. I wake up to my favourite alarm and its been great so far!
Can you actually customize the alarm tone to songs in your phone, different from the preset tones already in app? If yes, then .... if i disconnect my phone after setting alarms from the app, will it still remember the songs I customized my alarms to, or will it revert to the default tones?
Awesome review bro keep up the great work does this clock have problems charging wireless devices cus just got mine they other day and charges my phone for like 2 minutes than the light in front start blinking and it's stop charging my phone!
Thank you very much! I think it really depends on the device, and if you have a case this might cause a little overheating and therefore the charging to stutter. So try taking the case off if so. I haven’t found this issue with my phone, but my AirPods don’t charge very well (they don’t on many chargers though)
@@insidetechltd thank's for answering back it's a uag case supposedly it's post to work with wireless chargers the phone I have is the Samsung Galaxy note 9
Yes it probably does work fine, but different chargers have different temperature thresholds. So though the case is technically wireless charging compatible, it depends on the charger as to whether the overheating will stop it charging the phone. I hope you get it sorted though!
It just needs to be plugged in to a power source. You need the app to initially set alarms, but you can then disconnect your phone and still have the alarm sound
Have you heard of the Loftie, how would compare it to the Wakey? Also what do you think is the best alarm clock overall that gets updates? And finally what is the latest update version for the Wakey? Thank you 😄
I haven't no. I think i'm not in the best position to say about the best overall, to be honest. I haven't really reviewed enough to say which is the absolute best. I've been very happy with Wakey though. I'm currently using version 0.6.0 which is the latest available to me!
@@insidetechltd Thank you InsideTech, I have version 0.6.0 right now but I really wish Anker releases a really nice big update, it hasn't been updated in a while from what I've heard and I just got it which is disappointing, because I feel like it's unsupported now 😓
It hasn’t been updated much, you’re right. I don’t think this is necessarily not supported any more though, I think there are just fewer things to add. It’s not like a pair of headphones where there are many new things to add. I guess it’ll just be big fixes, if anything, now. Or perhaps there’s a new 2nd product in the pipeline. Are there any particular features or changes you’d like to see?

This is a thread that I created for Anker to look at :D
No. The options are FM radio or one of the clock’s tones. There may be a workaround to this if your phone has an app that outputs alarm tones through a connected audio output device i.e. if you left your phone plugged in via an aux cable overnight and the alarm app you use (that plays Spotify/Apple Music) outputs the tone through the connected speaker. I’ll be honest though, I doubt that this would work as most alarm apps don’t let you do this.
@@insidetechltd This is my big issue as well. It's _shockingly_ hard to find an alarm clock that let you choose the music. I've been using an ihome ipod dock for like 6 years now, waking up hassle free to whatever music I wanted on my ancient, cracked ipod touch, but the docking connector finally bit the dust. I've been trying to find a suitable replacement, and I was hopeful upon seeing all these nifty qi charging options, figured I'd be able to free up some cord clutter around my nightstand. I found a 90$ bluetooth ihome clock that purported to let me wake up to my music via bluetooth, but found that it constantly desynchs from bluetooth after about 5 minutes, which makes it a 90$ standard buzzer alarm clock... It's been extremely aggravating. How is it that we live in the era of voice controlled thermostats and toasters, but no one has made a hybrid mp3 player/alarm clock? And who on earth still listens to _radio_ when we've got so many options? Like, _you know, internet radio_
Quite similar actually! I expect that the body of the soundcore 2 was used as a template for Wakey, and then the alarm-clock features were just added to it
Yes it does. This could become a custom option in the future via a software update in the app though. I personally set the display to turn off during night hours so I can sleep better
Hey not sure if you will answer this but. Will it need to be plugged in all the time? Fine with me if it does. Does my phone need to be connected to bluetooth for the clock to work? If it’s a no then I’m definitely buying this.
Yes it needs to be plugged in at all times. You need to connect with your phone via bluetooth initially to set the time, but then you can disconnect/turn off bluetooth and the clock will still keep the correct time
There seems to be basically none of these left (accessible to Canadians at least) are there any other products similar to this one in quality and features?
I think the most popular competitor is Amazon's Echo range. They have some larger ones now with the clock face, and of course with Alexa built in, they have lots of smart features. You can set multiple alarms with them and have access to various music and radio streaming content. No wireless charger though, which in a bedside clock is ideal, I find. I've still not seen many big name brands releasing these - that's why i've been so pleased with Wakey, to be honest. Lenovo has a competitor to Echo with a larger display and some bedtime features (like slowly brightening the display with the alarm to wake you), so that may be worth a look!
So if you want to use the bluetooth speaker and wireless charging feature you need to have the device plugged in all the time? Kind of beat the purpose doesn't it? And you also didn't mention how long it took to fully charge your phone say from 10% etc or if your phone gets hot after being charged there. This is the kind of information that people like to know..
I'm not really sure what you mean. To use any of the features, the speaker needs to be plugged in - it is not portable. I didn't mention how long it takes to charge your phone because it depends on what you phone you have, doesn't it? I can't possibly test every single phone and give that information. Different phones will have different battery capacities, different cooling systems and will trigger the overheating threshold at different times, it depends on whether or not you're using a case (and the type of case)...there are just too many factors so I couldn't possibly say. Sorry!
@@insidetechltd Understand, but I think if you mention the brand and type of phone that was being used for testing, people can make an estimate and have an idea about the wireless charging capability. It's always better, in my opinion, to provide real life benchmark/example rather than just providing data or information sheet. It's still a nicely made video btw. Thanks!
Thanks for the feeback! If you'd like, I can test a full charge for you on one of the devices I have and let you know the results, would that be helpful at all? I've got a Pixel 4 XL, an iPhone 11 Pro, Samsung Note 20, Note 20 Ultra, S20 Ultra in the office at the moment - perhaps one of these is a close match for you. Let me know!
Hello! Great Review. I have a question regarding the connectivity, if I am to use this as a main pc speaker, in what order will it play the sound from? AUX first then bluetooth? In my use case, i want to have an aux cable plugged in, but this will only be used when the computer is on, and bluetooth from my phone when the PC is off. But i want the default to be AUX first. is that possible?
I'm not sure I understand fully...It will only play in bluetooth mode as long as you're connected with your phone. So I would just 'not' connect your phone when you're using it with your PC. With the aux cable plugged in you can listen that way, and then whenever you want bluetooth mode you just manually connect then with your phone. You can't have both bluetooth and aux at the same time
@@insidetechltd This is great, thank you for the response. So if I understand correctly, if I only have AUX ON/Bluetooth OFF, my PC can play through wakey as a normal PC speaker. Very kind of you to respond. Appreciate it!
@@insidetechltd Hey, thanks. I'm back again for another question; I preferably don't want to have my phone in the bedroom, so let's say I adjust the clock via the app and then I leave my phone far away from the clock so that they don't have connection between eachother - are the alarms etc still going to work?
The only reason I could think that your Wakey would lose the correct time after syncing would be if the speaker lost power. Otherwise it doesn't really make sense. You could try powering it down for while and then re-syncing it with your phone - see if that helps. If not, i'd reach out to Anker for help with this
Exactly. You connect via Bluetooth to the speaker and it automatically sets the time. Then you can disconnect Bluetooth and the speaker will maintain the correct time as long as it remains connected to power
I think it's a very good device but the price is just too much ! I know it can work as a alarm and a wireless charger but even with that I think it's a pricey device
@@insidetechltd It puts out radiation. About as much as a phone. And we still don't know the long term effect of what smart phones could cause. It's still new. Did you know that the receiver of car phones in the 80's were put in the trunk to keep it as far as possible from the user? Not as strong as getting an x-ray but even then you try not to get many of them and you wear a protective vest. Heck, even the person who gives you your x-ray stands behind a wall because they do it often. Anyway, why take a risk when you don't have to?
You’re right, we don’t know the long term effects specifically from smartphone use, but we do already have the data for long term exposure to the same electromagnetic radiation - and it’s safe. Also a comparison to X-ray radiation doesn’t give you any useful data. The difference in the frequencies of these two types of radiation are massively different (it’s no way near to x-rays). By all means, keep doing what you’re doing though! The worst thing that can happen is you’re not running any risk 🤷♂️ so I’m not gonna knock anyone for being cautious or sensible. Just make sure you enjoy your life (and tech) too! ☺️

Exactly. You connect via Bluetooth to the speaker and it automatically sets the time. Then you can disconnect Bluetooth and the speaker will maintain the correct time as long as it remains connected to power
How do u set clock I’m hooked up to Bluetooth and the time still haven’t set
Download the Soundcore app, connect to your Wakey and the time will automatically sync!
I think it's a very good device but the price is just too much ! I know it can work as a alarm and a wireless charger but even with that I think it's a pricey device
Just to confirm, the wakey is compatible with all phones (galaxy s20), correct?
It is indeed!
@@insidetechltd thanks!
Love mine!!!
Glad to hear it!
As a country boy, I find it funny how people think trains are an ambient sound.
I know what you mean. Each to their own I guess!
Would you take this oder the jbl Horizoon 2 ???
I've not tested it, sorry!
The snooze button being the entire panel is a deal breaker for me. Heaven forbid anyone makes an alarm clock without a snooze.
As in, you'd want it to be that too?
I thought the train icon in the ambient sound section was an army tank.
haha!
Can I set a sleep timer while using the radio?
No, it doesn’t seem like it 😔 (tested today)
Can you charge iPhone 14pro?
How is the bass?
Yes you can.
Bass is tight and punchy, but not deep or especially powerful
Can it play music while not being plugged in?
No. When not plugged in it just has a reserve battery to keep the current time, but it is not usable as a speaker
What's the song towards the end called?
Culture Code - Make Me Move (feat. Karra) [Tobu Remix] | NCS Release. Sorry, i've added this to the video description now!
It Doesnt works with Windows 10 Pc
Ah that's a shame - this is designed to work with smartphones though!
Can I use it without the charger? If yes then how tho?
No you can’t
What do you mean without the charger?
Would it charge AirPods too?
Yes it does, i've got my AirPods charging on the Wakey right now!
Unfortunately, the advantage of portable speaker is missing mission is its non rechargeable speaker , works only with elect. Source .
Is this an ad? You voice sounds like from those informercials 😲
Haha, no. Although I’m happy to lend my voice to tv ads of anyone in the industry is watching 👀
Wireless charging next to my head at night? Nope!
Go on then...do tell us why! 🤔
@@insidetechltd It puts out radiation. About as much as a phone. And we still don't know the long term effect of what smart phones could cause. It's still new. Did you know that the receiver of car phones in the 80's were put in the trunk to keep it as far as possible from the user? Not as strong as getting an x-ray but even then you try not to get many of them and you wear a protective vest. Heck, even the person who gives you your x-ray stands behind a wall because they do it often. Anyway, why take a risk when you don't have to?
You’re right, we don’t know the long term effects specifically from smartphone use, but we do already have the data for long term exposure to the same electromagnetic radiation - and it’s safe. Also a comparison to X-ray radiation doesn’t give you any useful data. The difference in the frequencies of these two types of radiation are massively different (it’s no way near to x-rays).
By all means, keep doing what you’re doing though! The worst thing that can happen is you’re not running any risk 🤷♂️ so I’m not gonna knock anyone for being cautious or sensible. Just make sure you enjoy your life (and tech) too! ☺️
is it still relevant to but now,
buy*
Sure!
It looks great, until they no longer support the app in a few more generations of iOS or Android. They you have a hunk of junk useless box.
Couldn't you say that for any device that offers app support though? Why would they stop supporting it anyway?
Anker is just killing the game, watch out folks.
They really are. Got another soundcore product review coming in the next few days!
Buluk talaga iphone haha
