Nice, but depends on the price... [Posted on 2008-04-29]
If you can get this unit for $30-40, it's a solid deal. The unit plays loud enough for casual listening in a medium sized room, with good (for what it is) bass output. Bass/treble controls allow to dial in a little extra treble, which the unit needs because it's a bit muddy.

Remote is handy and works as expected. Comprehensive package includes several dock adapters and a nice, compact AC adapter. Built-in amp has the ability to run an expansion speaker, which so long as you use an RCA adapter, can be just about any 4 ohm speaker. This opens up a lot of additional sound output options and is probably a grossly underutilized feature.

This is not the best unit for highly portable duty. C batteries should provide decent battery life, but the unit isn't very handily shaped for carrying, and I don't think docks that support the ipod in such an standout upright position are the best choice for mobile use.

Pricing on the units is dropping because they don't include 3rd gen nano or "classic" regular adapters. Still works fine, but you'll have to hack/fabricate/not use an adapter with a 3rd gen. Trade off is fine by me given the savings, and I suppose Ihome probably makes adapters by now you can buy. I don't know, and won't bother.

If the unit braced the ipod better when docked and included an FM tuner, it'd be a home run.

IHome 2 go [Posted on 2008-05-08]
I was looking for a small speaker for my IPod with good sound, and this product complies with these specifications, the only thing that I can not use is the remote control for my 3G Ipod, in this IPod the only thing that works is the volumen, you can not change songs or go to the menu (as specified on the manual). Does anybody know how can I fix this problem?. For 5G Ipod this speaker works very well.

For the Price, a decent purchase [Posted on 2008-05-12]
Bought this for the office, since it was pretty close to the same price as an additional IPOD charger. For a single box speaker, the sound is ok - but I am in a work place, and don't put th3e volume up.

It does a fine job recharging my IPOD when I forget to check at home; it's pretty unobtrusive on the desk as well.

Awesome for price paid [Posted on 2008-05-14]
I have another more expensive unit also from iHome. I was constantly moving it around to the kitchen while cooking or to the yard for BBQs. When I saw this in Gold Box for twenty bucks I snagged it, just to have a second unit that I could permanently leave in the bedroom. It works well and definitely serves its purpose. It's not the most phenomenal sound, but it's pretty darn good. It definitely sounds alot better than one should expect for the price paid. If you're looking for amazing sound quality, this may not be the unit for you. But, if you're looking for bang-for-buck, and intend to use it to casually listen to music, this system is perfect.

Exactly what I needed [Posted on 2008-06-19]
I had been looking for a speaker I could plug my ipod into for a while when I saw this at the Gold Box deals in Amazon. The price was so low I dind't think twice and ordered it.

I have owned it for a couple months now and I am very happy with this product, it has a very decent sound, you can plug the different Ipod models available, it is small and elegant.

I used to have a stereo system in my living room so I could play music while having lunch, doing the house chores or simply wanting to listen to music in any of the nearby rooms. I started looking for an Ipod speaker as I did not want to be changing discs and the like having an Ipod already.

This speaker is great, it is small and elegant, which allows me to place it in one of the living room tables without it looking out of place (it matches some our decoration actually); the sound, while not very powerful, is quite decent for my needs. I can have guests at home and plug my Ipod, hit shuffle and have background music. Being this compact size it's also very easy to carry it to other places. It has remote control also that allows you to equalize the sound, move through the Ipod menus and to decide whether you want it to shuffle through songs or not.

I have used this a lot since I got it and I can strongly recommend it. If you are looking for superior sound quality this may not be the best product for you (though you can expand it by purchasing additional speakers that can be connected to one another) If you need something like I described, don't think twice and grab this one, the price they have right now is a great deal.
