GPX Ci109BU iPod Alarm Clock Radio

 (11 customer reviews)

There are better products out there. I bought this for my son for his birthday. The overall appearance is great. The color matches nicely with his blue nano. When listening to the radio it sounds great. But when listening to the ipod you have to turn it way up to hear anything over the static. If you like listening to your music really loud I guess that that is fine. My son, however, uses it to listen to instrumental music while he sleeps and loud just kind of defeats the purpose.

I purchased this for my son for his birthday to use with his new ipod shuffle. I'm so happy that I tried it out before the big day. As the other reviewer said, the static sound overtook the music unless the volume was pretty loud. Knowing that this would be used primarily at bedtime, that was not going to work for us. I called GPX and they assured me that it was just a problem with the item I purchased and was not a known issue for the product. I exchanged it for a new one and had the same thing happen. We ended up with Sony speakers instead and they work great!

I just bought this product the other day. It is for my 10 year old who is getting a Nano for Christmas. It was the same color as his nano, it looked like something a 10 year old boy would like and it was priced right.

After reading the previous reviews, I had to take it out of the box and give it a try with my iPod. It was easy to use but just like the other reviewers said...STATIC!!! The minute you change it to the iPod mode all you hear is static!! What the heck is that all about? And even when you turn up the volume, which doesn't go that high, you can still hear it.

Safe to say I will be taking this back to the store tomorrow. So glad I looked up the reviews! I would like my son to have something he can use right away...not have to wait for me to take it back and pick out another one. Does not make me happy that I have to return it.

I would not recommend this at all.
