Pros: Good looking, acceptable FM and I-Pod; Cons: Unusable A.M.; Plug is enormous;
Attractive design, adequate sound for F.M. and I-Pod, but very poor AM reception. In fact, I cannot receive A.M. without a lot of static. They made a good product. If you can live without A.M. then buy it. Also, I was surprised by the FM wire that hangs down. The plug is as big as your fist (looks like old Army surplus) and is best hidden behind a chair.
Save your money and get better sound quality by katyface ,Jan 31 '07
Pros: none Cons: too expensive for what you get
I have a home office, so I was looking for something that would allow me to listen to my iPod while working. In doing some Internet searches, iHome was one of (surprisingly not many) contenders. Without going way over $100, it looked like that was the way to go.
My husband and I went over to Best Buy, and I had every intention of buying it then and there. We had an opportunity to listen to the speaker quality, and were WAY under-impressed.
That was when my husband had the (admittedly) brilliant idea of buying a boombox with a "line in" input. Along with an inexpensive cable (one end goes into the "line in" input, the other end goes into your iPod headphone jack), this solution resulted with WAY better sound quality and only cost us a total of $50 ($45 for the boombox + $5 for the cable).
Average, but better than the slew of i-players by myord ,Dec 16 '06
Pros: Small, clear sound, better than anything smaller than it. Nice volume dial. Semi loud. Cons: distorted, no bass sound
I don't own one, but did a comprehensive search/listening in all possible stores. Sound is semi-OK. No base which is a big drawback. However, the sound is quite clear which makes all sales people point at it. At higher volume level is tends to distort. At this price range it's 3-rd from the top.
