As an early morning riser, I’ve often found myself needing an extra “kick” to get me out of bed. One that goes beyond the droning beep of a standard alarm. The BEDDI Style intelligent alarm clock, by WITTI Design, fit the bill nicely, allowing me to set songs or playlists to wake up to. You can control the playlist using the free mobile app (available on IOS and Android) or simply connect your phone to the device via Bluetooth. When I need my morning dose of rock n’ roll to blast through clean, clear speakers, BEDDI Style is perfect.

This intelligent alarm clock is a low profile but attractive piece of equipment. It sits nicely on a kitchen table, desk, bookshelf, or wherever else is convenient. I have successfully placed mine on the kitchen table and regularly use it as a phone charger. It’s a grey box-like device with a swappable faceplate, allowing it to fit in as your personal home décor. Faceplate styles include bright pink, leopard print, and grey. You can purchase BEDDI Style on the website for $49.99. Faceplates are available separately, for $7.99 each.

The mood lighting is a fun feature and adds a delightful element to the room. My favorite color to turn it to is a deep, ocean blue. Setting up the BEDDI Style device could not be simpler. Plug the device into a power source, then download the app onto your phone and connect the two. Once they sync, you will be able to customize the alarm, ‘smart buttons’ (for controlling light/music), and connect other features such as Uber driver calls.

The BEDDI Style intelligent alarm has proved its use and quality in my home via the ease of connectivity to Bluetooth and pristine sound quality. I can stream anything (via Spotify) from jazz and classical to rock or dubstep and the speaker performs beautifully. BEDDI Style is a “set it and forget it” type of product, which makes it ideal for the person always on the go. Customize everything the way you want it and then never touch the settings again! I have not experienced bugs or malfunctions with the product, though it’s been through several power blackouts.

If you are looking to improve the way you wake up, integrate BEDDI Style to your morning routine. It allows you to practically customize your morning mood with music, increasing your productivity and happiness throughout the rest of day. Days start and end better with BEDDI Style.
