I really like the iH8 ihome!
PROS: it's small and compact and well fit good on a dresser or a desk. It has good sound for how small it is. The radio works really good. I live in the country and I could never get any radio stations I like, but the ihome lets me listen to all the stations I love. The buttons are easy to use and are straight forward. You can set the backlight of the screen to be how ever bright or dim you want it. I also like the fact that if I set my alarm to go off with my ipod classic and it's not in, a buzzer will go off instead. All the buttons light up too and they won't keep you up at night either. This unit is really easy to use!
CONS: The remote control sucks! You have to point it right in front of the unit and you can't be more then 8 feet away from it. The way the ipod is sent up to sit on the top can mean that if you hit it with something the port could get damage or the ipod could fall off and break.
iHome IH8BR Clock Radio for iPod [Posted on 2008-05-28]
I bought this ihome clock radio after researching the internet and reading reviews and wasn't disappointed. I haven't had any problems thus far. The sound quality is good for a bedroom clock radio. When waking up to the ipod it starts at the song that it left off from, the alarm has options to wake you and they work great. You can wake to ipod, radio, or buzzer. It charges my ipod without any problems. Set up was easy. The only negative I have seen is the clock radio face is sometimes hard to read (I am older) from across the room. Wish the numbers were bolder. You can adjust the light emitted from the screen, and you can set to play until you fall asleep and the volume lowers as the time you set it to play for gets nearer the end.
For the money and the little space it takes on my dresser, it is a great value. I am still getting used to the wheels for the volume. Once you get the hang of that it is no problem. The remote also works well. No, it isn't a bose, but it does play well and picks up radio stations well.
Pretty good [Posted on 2008-07-01]
I like most things about this clock. I like the fact that it start the alarm/music low and then builds up the volume so that it doesn't scare you into a morning heart attack. I also like the fact that it lets you adjust the brightness of the display, particularly for those of us who are insomniacs. And I like the fact that it allows you to use your iPod.
The two things I don't like about it is that the alarm only goes off for one hour and, because of this, I sometimes over-sleep - and that's not good.
Also, the FM reception is terrible.
Won't recognize iPod!!!! [Posted on 2008-07-15]
I received this as a Christmas present in Dec 07. In June 08, it will no longer work with either my iPod or my wife's iPod. I have to assume that the dock is poorly made (our ipods still work on other docks). Have done everything in the manual to try to have it work with no luck. Have contacted customer service - will see what they say. Unfortunately, only a 90 day warranty. This thing should work longer than that!
Fine product, great customer support [Posted on 2008-07-19]
I bought my iH8 at Bed, Bath, and Beyond at a heavily discounted price because it was missing the AM antenna. I called iHome Customer Service, told them the story, and within hours they shipped an antenna to my house free of charge. I wish other companies had this high degree of efficiency in dealing with customers. The serice man in charge was Pat Czudyk.
The product itself works fine. Naturally, the speakers are not designed
to compete with Bose. Using the line in function, you can play your CD players or other stereo equipment with the unit. Just remove the iPod when you operate the line in function.
I was so impressed by iHome's customer service that I have decided an iH9 for my wife. This product is a lot more than a glorified alarm clock. I am very pleased with it.
