Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of iHome iH5 Clock Radio and Speaker System for iPod (Black)
Customer Review: Great sound!
Summary: 5 Stars
For a little station it can get pretty loud! I really like the way I can wake up to my favorite iPod playlist. The station also charges your iPod while it plays so I think thats great.
However there are a few drawbacks. (I still LOVE my iHome despite these drawbacks but it may effect some) When it first comes out of the box it smells really bad, like industrial plastic. After a few days its gone but I couldn't sleep with it! There is also no "lights-off" feature for the clock. It is a little too bright for me to sleep with so I have to put something over it to be able to sleep. Also, you cannot control your iPod through the station, you have to pick your song on your iPod but you can do so while the iPod is still docked so it really isn't that big of a deal.
I would still STRONGLY recommend this product! It made all of my roommates MAD jealous! :)
Customer Review: love this clock radio/alarm clock!

i'm very pleased with this product. i like that the ihome ih5 is offered in white or black so that it can match either of the basic ipod colors. also, i think the fact that all ipod models are compatible with it is a great feature. the sound quality is quite good for it's size - definately much better than i expected. this is a nice option if you already have a surround sound system and just want something nice and convenient to listen to your ipod with. i have to agree with others that the battery option and the ipod/radio/beep options are really nice. i have really enjoyed waking up to music i enjoy rather than annoying talk show hosts. in contrast to others, however, the display lights have not bothered me a bit. mine did not come with a remote, but i was able to purchase a matching black one from the ihome website. the shipping on the remote was free.Customer Review: This product ROCKS!

One of the best purchases I have ever made. A snap to setup. I like being able to listen to my music and audio books while I drift off to sleep. I don't know what people are talking about when they say the display is too bright. On the lowest setting it is not bright at all. I am also thrilled that my ipod is always charged. The sound is great too!
EDIT: I have to admit, after using the clock for about a week, that gradual wakeup deal is totally bogus. I can't believe they even advertise a gradual wakeup option. What others have said about it is true, it is not at all gradual.
On the dimmer, it sounds like maybe on the first generation of this clock radio you could not get the light very dim. They must have fixed this problem because I can get it very dim, just by pressing the snooze/dimmer button twice.
Customer Review: Awesome iPod speakers

The iHome iH5 clock radio for the iPod, is amazing. I got one for Christmas and recommended to it to a close friend who decided to purchase it. Mine was $300.00 and my friend's was $68.48. My mother is a liar. I AM NOT SORRY MOMMY, I am very disappointed in you and also Santa Claus who only got me a pair of socks and this iHome for Christmas this year. I am very spoiled and what I wanted for Christmas was a pink razr, socks, my own apartment and some cologne. Anywhosees, BUY THIS PRODUCT AND YOU WILL BE HAPPY IN ME AND MY FRIEND who wanted to beroommates this Christmas this year. If we get our apartment you are welcome to come. My friend also wrote a review it says that she thought it was crystal clear and I agree. Our adress is 55 Mikewakowski Lane.Customer Review: Great All Around

PooPoo on the people who rated this clock so low...I love mine! Between the digital radio tuner, auxilary channel, and all the port adapters to fit any and all ipods, I am beside myself. I got mine for my birthday, as well as the black remote, which unfortunately you have to order from the iHome website, though shipping is free, and couldn't be happier. The backup battery is also a God-send, as we lose power in my neighborhood all the time, so I am not concerned about my alarm not going off. I guess the best part of the clock is that I don't have to leave my nano connected to my computer overnight to charge the battery, but rather just place it in the clock radio so that I can wake up to whatever song I was listening to the previous night.
