Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of iHome iH8 Clock Radio for iPod (Black)

Customer Review: Can't go wrong with this unit- excellent.
Summary: 5 Stars

I bought the IH8BR so that we could have a good sounding small radio in the bedroom with a sleep function. I have occasional insomnia, and have found that some music at night helps me get to sleep. We've been very pleasantly surprised by just how good this unit is. Some salient points:
-The bass is surprisingly strong, especially considering how small the radio is
-Function is extremely intuitive. They clearly went to great efforts to make this unit as easy to operate as an iPod itself.
-Radio reception is outstanding. We live in a very hilly area, and have no problem with reception, which is surprising. All other radios have issues here.
-Comes with a remote that is small, simple to use, and well thought-out
-Display is dimmable, well laid out, and displays the date when the alarm's going. If you're alert enough in the morning to actually look at it, you can know what date you're on
-Sound quality is flexible through the EQ funtion- very nice
-The two big control wheels on the top make changing volume, radio station, and other items very intuitive
-The alarm comes on very gradually in the morning, eliminating the jarring feeling of other alarm clocks
-You can never accidentally turn the sound down so that the volume is too low to wake you in the morning. The preset volume is just right for getting one out of bed.

We had a sony receiver and bookshelf speakers in the bedroom before this. I thought there'd be no way a small "clock radio" would ever produce sound as good. But after a couple days, we realized the stereo didn't need to be taking up space in the room any longer and it got the boot. The iHome unit produces great sound, and we don't miss the receiver set up at all. Overall, this item is well worth the price due to its well thought-out design, simplicity, rich sound, and good looks. Highly recommended.

Amazon.com Product Description The iH8 is an inspired take on the iPod alarm clock, with clean, contemporary design and features galore.

An extra-large, backlit custom LCD with dimmer and backlit buttons make control a snap, and the included remote just adds to the convenience.

iPod, Radio, or Buzzer Alarm
Wake to your docked iPod, the radio, or--if you must--a classic buzzer alarm. Whichever you choose, a gradual alarm feature gently raises the alarm volume, so it's not too jarring.

The alarm is easy to set, and boasts a number of features to ensure you get up in the morning. Battery backup means you'll still get up in the event of a power failure, and Alarm Reset turns off the alarm and automatically resets it for the same time the following day. If you select to wake to iPod but no iPod is docked, you're still covered--the iH8BR will sound the buzzer instead.

Sleep Features
In designing the iH8BR, iHome paid special attention to the other end of the alarm clock equation--going to bed. Sleep to iPod or radio, with programmable sleep times of 120, 90, 60, 30, or 15 minutes. Gentle Sleep gradually decreases the music volume as you drift off to dreamland.

What's more, an Adjustable Sleep volume solves an old alarm clock problem, allowing you to select a comfortable "sleep" volume level without affecting the "wake to" or listening volume levels.

Play and Charge Your iPod
The iH-8BR's Universal dock plays and charges most docking iPod models (in addition to using them for alarms). So when you do finally wake up, your iPod will have a full charge as you head out the door.

Quick Time Zone and DST Switch
Traveling or moving with your iH8BR? Adjust the preset time to any of seven different time zones at the touch of a button. Ditto on that pesky Daylight Savings Time.

Includes full-function remote. Click to enlarge.

AM/FM Radio
The iH8BR delivers solid radio listening with PLL digital tuning, an external AM antenna for better reception, and built-in Automatic Frequency Control (AFC) for enhanced FM reception.

Save your favorite stations on the four AM, four FM1, and four FM2 presets.

Big Sound, Small Package
The iH8BR delivers 6 watts of great sound, thanks to its high-fidelity stereo speakers in specially designed isolated speaker chambers. Dial in the EQ controls to get just the sound you want.

Need more? The included speaker jack lets you add separate speakers.

Auxiliary Input
Connect external devices like MP3 or CD players to the rear auxiliary input for your enjoyment.

Full-Function Remote Control
Enjoy convenient control from a distance with the included remote--control radio and iPod functions, plus EQ and volume. You also can control snooze and reset alarm functions, in case the device isn't by your bedside.

What's in the Box
iH8BR Clock Radio and Audio System, Remote control, Docking inserts, AC power adapter, AM antenna and stand, Owner's manual.
