iHome iHR5 Remote Control (Silver Buttons) Review

iHome iHR5 Remote ControlI think this is a really useful product, because you don't have to be near the Ihome to use it's volume control, "on and off" button, radio and stuff. The reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that the remote controls the ipod only when it's directly connected to the Ihome (it doesn't do anything to the ipod, if it's connected by the cable), so sometimes you just end up using it to turn on and off or for the volume...
But I can't say it's a bad product, 'cause it helps me a lot, specially when I'm in bed and don't want to get up.
I recommend.

SDI iHome2go IH31B - Boombox with iPod cradle - black Review

SDI iHome2go IH31B - Boombox with iPod cradle - blackFor those who are looking at this product in hopes to buy it to play for all iPod formats, please DISREGARD ANYTHING THAT SAYS "SHUFFLE" for it does NOT play any format (versions 1, 2, or 3) of the iPod Shuffle. What this company had failed to mention is that this plays "the iPod and Shuffle (via separate mp3 player cord without dock insert but includes dock inserts for literally every other form of iPod that we haven't mentioned in the above sentence, except the Shuffle of course)." So if you're buying this to play all forms of your iPod collection and thought that the fact that the Shuffle was mentioned in the very TITLE and FIRST SENTENCE of the product description, please ignore it and save your money! Don't buy this FM radio and iPod and Shuffle-LESS product! It's a shame that you must enter a rating, for I was quite pleased with leaving it at 0.

iLive ICR6307DTBLK iPod Docking System with Digital Tune AM/FM Stereo Dual Alarm Clock Radio with Remote Control in Black Review

iLive ICR6307DTBLK iPod Docking System with Digital Tune AM/FM Stereo Dual Alarm Clock Radio with Remote Control in BlackI had been tracking iPod speakers for over 4 months now, and I saw that not one had all the features I wanted. And even if they did, the cons always made me wait for more.
I came across this one at FRYs and decided to give it a shot, since I could always return it in case it didnt match up to my expectations.
But I must say this piece is simply awesome. A fully functional remote (u can browse through the entire iPod menus from it), FM radio, dual alarms with gradually increasing beeper (u can wake to beeper, radio or iPod), Aux input, audio/video output to ur TV - and above all - crisp and satisfyingly loud sound. It also has bases for all the older iPods.
I can even operate the alarms and radio from the remote. Imagine switching off that pesky alarm using a remote!!
The only con (if it is) is that the remote isnt very responsive to the iPod all the time, and I need to press more than once occasionally to make it work. But then I can bear it given the remote is so small.

Product Description:
Listen to your favorite iPod tunes as you fall asleep and wake up each day with the iLive ICF6307DTBLK iPod clock radio. A perfect complement for people tired of listening to boorish morning DJs, the clock radio offers a built-in iPod docking station that plays and charges your iPod 3G, iPod 4G (click wheel), iPod photo 4G, iPod video 5G and 5.5G, iPod mini, and iPod nano 1G and 2G. The AM/FM tuner, meanwhile, accommodates listeners who still want to catch the ballgame or the news. The handiest feature, however, is the dual alarms, which lets couples wake individually rather than having to reset the alarm after the first person rises. The alarms even offer a gradual wake-up function that increases the volume progressively as you slowly open your eyes.
Other details include a sleek black housing; a large LCD display with a blue backlight; four preset equalizer settings; several station presets for quick channel surfing; an auxiliary input for connecting other audio players, such as an iPod shuffle or MP3 player; an A/V output for connecting the iPod photo or video to a TV; a battery backup function (requires two AAA batteries); and a full-featured remote control (battery included). The ICR6307DTBLK, which measures 11 by 5.2 by 8 inches (W x H x D) and weighs 3.5 pounds, is backed by a 90-day warranty.
What's in the Box
ICR6307DTBLK clock radio, remote control, remote battery, user's manual.

iHome T435B Xtra Loud Dual Alarm Clock Blk Review

iHome T435B Xtra Loud Dual Alarm Clock BlkThis product was/is kind of misrepresented, and not only on this website. It is not a true iHome.It would not take my niece's iPod, and it is not a docking station.We purchased from computer brain, explained the situation, and they gave us our purchase price and shipping back.We thought this was a class act and would purchase from them again if they were to sell a product we are interested in.

I don't know how to rate it but Timex has been around awhile and it looks like a good product.

Tivoli Audio SongBook AM / FM Alarm Clock Travel Radio, Green Review

Tivoli Audio SongBook AM / FM Alarm Clock Travel Radio, GreenThe new Tivoli Songbook is one sweet, versatile radio.I was reluctant to order it because it was brand new model and I couldn't find any reviews, but I'm glad I overcame my reluctance and purchased this radio.I consider it expensive for an AM/FM radio so I expect serious performance for the money--I was not disappointed.It's Tivoli, so I expected sound quality and Tivoli delivers.The sound isn't quite as full as the Model One, but it's more than adequate.For talk radio, it's simply the best sound I've heard from any radio.

One reason I hesitated purchasing was because I planned to use this as a table radio more than a travel radio--the lack of external antenna jacks was a concern because I have trouble with AM reception in my area.The real surprise was the reception--this small radio locked on and pulled in signals that I have trouble pulling in with some of my better radios like the GE Superadio or Grundig Satellit 800--all while delivering a clear, clean signal.Admittedly, I'm not a DXer, and I'm not suggesting this is the radio for that purpose, but it's performance, particularily on AM, is impressive for such a small package.

Performance was great using the aux input on a Sirius tuner as well as MP3 and CD.

Overall, it has the look and feel--as well as performance--of a quality product.

One thing that you should be aware of--this model uses an outboard transformer--a relatively large wall wart.That negates some of the travel versatility, IMO, but isn't a problem for home use. One of the smart design features is the wall hang slot on the back--I promptly mounted the thing over my nightstand and cleared off the space formerly eaten up by my cheap, tinny sounding clock radio.

It's a rare day that a product meets my expectations, much less exceeds them, but this is a great radio!

Rca Rc59I Clock Radio with Ipod Dock Review

Rca Rc59I Clock Radio with Ipod DockI saw this for sale at a local store, so I thought I would do some digging for information. Unfortunately, there is almost zero. It doesn't say it anywhere online or on the box, but this will indeed charge your iPhone 3G. It's possible that they did not want to pay for licensing. Since it will charge the 3G, it should charge all of the new non-firewire iPods (Nano 5G, etc).

It's nice and compact, but certainly sturdy. Once you take a leaf through the instruction manual, it's very easy to use. Not one of those things I recommend to start pushing buttons feet-first, because you'll probably be woken up at 2:30am by accident.

What else can I say about it? It charges my iPhone, plays pretty well (a 5.1 system this isn't), has an aux-in for a Zune, etc, has dual-alarms with 3-4 different options each. If you're looking for a cheap replacement for your firewire-charging alarm clock, this is a good choice.

Philips AJ300D Clock Radio with iPod/GoGear Dock Review

Philips AJ300D Clock Radio with iPod/GoGear DockOnce you get past the fact that Amazon has really misrepresented this item, I can say that it really is a what I needed. Yes, as mentioned by another reviewer, there is NO CD player funtion at all. It would have been fantastic if Philips had designed it with one in mind, but I think it would have killed it's compact size which is why I bought it.There are only 5 presets (not 20 as per Amazon's description and the unit only plays FM, no AM). This is mentioned in the "Technical Details" of the description page, if you click on it. The detail that there is no CD funtion is there, too - very contradictory.
I love the fact that it's small (I can move it from room to room). There are three wake-up modes (FM radio, gentle wake buzzer, and iPod dock). But, the best item would have to be the wOOx technology for powerful bass, on the back of the unit. That sold me on this "Play and Charge" unit, and I love that feature the most.The sound is excellent for the price. You can still connect a portable CD player, VCR or even an iPod Shuffle, through the AUX port and cord supplied. So, it's not a one trick pony.
The clock function is good, with 3 brightness settings (Bright, Low and OFF), and both Sleep and Snooze funtions on the alarm.I found it simple to set the clock and alarm(s).No battery back-up is a negative.Even a simple 9V would be enough to keep presets and radio function if the power went out.
Overall: I like it, I really do.
