ALL-PURPOSE iPOD PLAYBACK UNIT [Posted on 2007-05-12]
We already had been using the iH5 which was the first iHome iPod/AM-FM/alarm clock unit. Gave that to our son for use at school and upgraded to the iH7B.
(Why is the iH7 only available in black as opposed to the other iHs which come in B or W?) This unit has presets for the radio and a dual alarm clock. MOST IMPORTANT, the separate speaker allows one to truly sense stereo which is not the case with the iH5 or iH6 - well woth the extra $$. Separate AM antenna makes for good reception. FM antenna is a long wire which requires careful placement to keep if away from interference from adjacent AC power line. As will all iHomes, it has built in iPod charger with inserts to accomodate various iPod models. Also has a second charging 'slot' - but this only works with the Shuffle - ideally this would be a full-service charger. Also has a line-input to allow one to connect a CD player (remember those?) or a non-iPod MP3 player.
AMAZING! [Posted on 2007-05-19]
This is the best thing ever. looks cool, awesome sound, handy remote, and just plain awesome. Personally, i dont think the display is too bright. theres a button that controls the display light ranging anywhere from lighting up a country, or no light at all, and everything in between. Basically, its amazing!
Almost but not quite [Posted on 2007-08-18]
good controls, dual alarm feature is nice, excellent reception even though I live in a rural area. I purchaased the three speaker model as reports indicated this would improve sound quality. The third speaker merely cancels one of the two internal speakers and allows you to get more phsyical separation between the left and right channels. The sound quality of the speakers is unacceptable, tinny, poor range, sounds like a cheap tabletop radio. The good news is you can connect external speakers, I purchased a set of Kipsch 2.1 and the sound and feautres are now excellend. Of course that adds another 150.00 to get an adequate device. If the speakers were improved, it would definitelg earn five stars.
Beware: Not compatible with 3rd gen 10/15/20 GB iPods [Posted on 2007-12-12]
This was bought for me as a gift (not from amazon, though, but Apple). However, advertising both here and on Apple's website claim that this product is compatible with the 3rd generation iPod (not talking about the iPod nano, but the 10/15/20GB one that came out in 2003).
It isn't. Calls to iHome's customer service department only confirmed this. In fact, I was told that the only iHome product that is compatible with the 3rd gen iPod is the iH5 alarm clock radio.
Otherwise, it's a fine system and I thought the sound was pretty good.
Nothing lasts forever... [Posted on 2008-09-22]
Didn't have it for too long before the charging dock gig decided to take a crap. We took quite good care of it too, handled the thing with kid gloves so to speak. If you are into loud music, don't do it. If you like it mellow, I guess. I remain unimpressed.
