louder than you would think
This speaker box sounds great, and is louder than you would think. I use it all the time with my 2nd generation Nano, which fits nicely in the foam insert. The exterior buttons control all the functions they are supposed to, and the 4AA batteries last longer than I thought they would.
The only negative comment I have, is that the AC adapter is optional, and if you can find one, you would have to leave the velcro flap open in order to plug it in.
Long Lasting and Extremely Mobile
I really like this piece of equipment. It is one of the few ipod speaker set ups out there that runs purely off batteries (although you can get a power cord for it). The battery life is exceptional, the sound is very impressive for the size and it is extremely portable. It is very protective of your ipod, and the the interface on the outside makes for minimal opening of the case. (Only to change an album, really). If specifically for your home I would definitely recommend a powered ipod dock with speakers and other features, but this is amazing for bbq's, camping, the park, a car with no stereo, moving/construction projects, etc.
A must have purchase!
I love it! It's amazing what a little thing can do. Good loud speakers too. Perfect for the beach or park with a small group of people. Toys R'Us has it too and for a great price so you might want to check that out...I paid more for it on Amazon.
no power cord
My daughter bought this for her shuffle. We agree with the other reviewer who said that this device doesn't work well at all with the shuffle. But the other big downer for us was that the unit didn't come with an adaptor. Of course, there's a rather large flyer in the packaging offering to send you one for a mere $21. No thanks!
broke within a week
I was sent pink rather than the black I ordered even though the packing slip said black...someone's color blind. After less than a week the ihome wouldn't turn on. I tried new batteries and it still won't turn on. What a waste of money. Big dissapointment.
