Customer Review: Awesome & crisp sound, easy docking, a REMOTE control, full dim
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this little iPod jamming alarm clock... it has the strong, crisp sound of a good boombox, and good tones even at low volumes. The remote control function is great. I can set the thing on sleep and shuffle through my iPod selection when I can't fall asleep quickly.
The dimmer is nice, it dims all the way to black.
Starts playing automatically and instantly when the iPod is put onto the dock. It does a good job of putting in a good, strong charge too. When I wake up, the iPod is ready for another full day of use.
FM signal isn't so great and the AM antenna is totally cumbersome and unnecessary. But who listens to AM on an alarm clock made for iPod anyway?!?
My only negative comment for the unit is in how the display lights somehow get re-activated after fully dimmed when sleep mode is finished. Let me explain: I am a very light sleeper and thusly turn off fully the function and time-face light by using the dimmer button to dim it all the way off. But if I set the sleep button for 30 min., after the 30 min. of sleep the music turns off. BUT (for some reason) the lights turn back onto to full bright and stay on. It's woken me up before due to the sudden "pouring" in of light.
Other than that minor, picky personal preference of mine, it is the perfect unit! Just what I wanted and needed :-) And at a great price too.
Description of iLuv i177 Alarm Clock Speaker System for iPod (Black)
When the iPod was first released, most viewed it as a personal music player for traveling, working out, or other "individual" activities. But that all changed when people started storing their entire music collections on their iPods and doing away with CDs entirely. Among the many product categories that emerged in the aftermath was the iPod-specific speaker system, which lets you listen to your entire iTunes library out loud but without sacrificing portability. The jWin I177BLK is the latest incarnation--a user-friendly, compact speaker system that looks somewhat like a clock radio (and functions like one, too), but stands ready to deliver deep, rich audio playback.The powered system is outfitted with a dock on the top surface that holds many iPod models. The dock not only grips the iPod in an easy-to-access location, making it a breeze to find specific songs or hit shuffle, but it also charges the iPod while in use. As a result, you can remove the iPod from the dock right before working out and it'll still be fully charged, even after playing through the speakers for an entire afternoon. Even better, the I177BLK isn't restricted to the iPod, as it also connects to other USB-equipped personal MP3 players. Households with several personal music players won't be left out of the playback loop.
The system's audio performance is warmly satisfying thanks to jWin's Aura acoustic technology, which adds depth and clarity to the music reproduction. And even though the system is built for digital music files, it also includes a built-in clock, a dual alarm function, and an AM/FM _radio with PLL digital tuning technology. The radio makes the unit ideal for bedrooms, offices, and other locations where an alarm comes in handy. Listeners even have their choice of waking to the iPod, the radio, or a buzzer.
Additional features include a user-friendly backlit LCD screen, a precision volume control that ensures a comfortable sound level, a remote control for maximum convenience, and an external loop antenna that improves the AM reception. The I177BLK, which comes in a sleek black housing that measures 11.25 by 3.12 by 6.75 inches (W x H x D), is backed by a one-year warranty on parts and labor.
