Excellent Sound for the small size!
I bought this as an alarm clock to be used with iPod or only radio to wake me up in the morning. I am amazed by the great sound quality coming out of this small device, so that I regularly use it to liste to music instead of my stereo in the living room. Great sound with nice bass!
It is increadibly easy to set up and use. It uses scroll wheels similiar to the ones on the apple iPod. The FM radio reception could be better but I can life with it. The small remote is also nice. Overall, a great iPod sound box for the price!
Love it
Love the product. Service was good. Quick delivery. Got it in time for my son's birthday present.
Not Pleased. Serious Quality Control Issues
I was intially very pleased with this radio so I purchased a matching one for my wife. After a few months, the iPod would no longer charge. I returned the unit and received another. That one worked for about 6 months and would no longer play the ipod or radio. The alarm buzzer was the only sound I could get out of it. Being a glutton for punishment, I returned that one and got another. I opened it up, plugged it in and found that half of the display characters do not work and you cannot tell what time or day it is. This one is going back and I'm searching for another product. Incidentally, my wife's radio is working fine. I'm very frustrated in how much time I've spent trying to find a iPod clock radio that I can depend on.
Good sound, but not for the long haul
I was given this as a gift a couple of years ago. At first, I was madly in love with it. As other reviewers have said, the iPod dock is a bit fragile. This made me nervous at first. After about six months, the dock just plain stopped working. I don't know if maybe one of the teeny weeny wires in the exposed dock got bent, I don't know what happened. It doesn't recognize the iPod. This is really a shame, because its little speakers aren't bad. Particularly for small home dwellers, this is a great alternative to having a full stereo. I always feel the sound quality is good.
As a clock radio, it is really good. It has three brightness settings, a readout visible from some distance, date and time, and- LOVE THIS- a switch on the back ... Read More
Great.. But...
i like the IH9 so much, my problem is that i live in Egypt and the FM is odd and we here in egypt operate on even numbers, it's not universal, but i still like everything specially the remote control that controls the station and the ipod which was something not available in other similar products
