Decent product:
Works well for a radio but as a sound system it is woefully inadequate. At high volumes the speakers simply cannot hold a good sound. The "bass" and "treble" options aren't much help. So I'd recommend this if you want a nice radio & something that can recharge your iPod and you want to listen to things at a low to mid volume. Otherwise it's not a great option.
Great gift, versatile:
We gave this to our daughter for Christmas last year. It works well with her Nano. It is a bit difficult for a 10 year old to set the alarm, so she really doesn't use it for that. Why can't clock radios have more intuitive controls for setting the alarm???
A great device.:
The Ihome is a little big/bulky. But it plays the music clear and great. The remote is very nice to have, to control the device from a distance. I love it!
Good Sound, Not Good for Poor Eyesight:
The Good: -sound is better than the average clock-radio.
-nice to be able to listen to your ipod at night
-recharges your ipod while you sleep The Bad: -the remote is almost worthless (hard to make the IH8 accept the remote's signal)
-not sure how to put this, but most clock-radios have illuminated digits, with a dark background. The IH8 is reverse; dark digits with an illuminated background. As my eye sight is garbage without glasses, this type of clock is not good for me;... more info
