Portable Travel Alarm Clock for Apple¿ iPod Shuffle

Amazon.com Product Review

The iHome iH18W Portable Travel Alarm Clock for iPod Shuffle (White) is the perfect portable alarm clock for when you are on the go with your iPod shuffle. This unit comes with a carrying case to protect your iPod during your travels, and lets you not only listen to the music on your shuffle, but fall asleep to it as well.

The iHome iH18W lets you listen to your music while charging your iPod shuffle by docking it in the portable alarm clock station. The alarm clock station features a portable, low-profile design that can easily go anywhere you do, and an auxiliary line-in jack with a patch cord for hooking up other MP3 players or audio devices. This unit wakes you up with a gradual buzzer, and features an alarm reset function that shuts off the alarm while automatically resetting it for the same time the following day. The sleep timer function is programmable for a 90, 60, 30, or 15-minute countdown, and even features an adjustable sleep volume that lets you select a comfortable sleep volume level without affecting the wake-to or listening volume levels.

The iHome iH18W uses two stereo neodymium micro driver speakers with 1.5 watts of total power. Not only are the alarm and time settings easy to adjust, but there's a travel lock feature that maintains your settings so that the time is automatically set as soon as you plug it in, and keeps the unit from accidentally powering on in order to save battery life. The iH18W has a multifunctional LCD with an adjustable white backlight, and is settable to both 12 and 24-hour operating modes. This alarm clock includes extra convenience features such as the ability to store your shuffle's USB cap while your iPod is docked, and a sure-alarm battery backup that maintains your clock settings and ensures the alarm wake-up time in case of a power failure. The iH18W runs via the included AC power adapter, comes in a sleek, contemporary white that matches your iPod shuffle, measures 10.2 x 3 x 6.1 inches (W x H x D), and is backed by a manufacturer's limited 90-day warranty.

What's in the Box
iHome iH18W travel alarm clock for iPod shuffle, a carrying case, a patch cord for auxiliary in, an AC power adapter, and a user's manual.

I bought the Shuffle to my wife because she does not want to deal with the menu. The simple nature of the Shuffle makes vendors harder to build the dockable speakers with good features. I really give credits to the iHome to spend the efforts to make iH18 a real dock for Shuffle. That's why I gave the product 4 stars. Here are my comments:

Things I like
1) Many Shuffle speakers are using the headphone jack as the audio out, but iH18 uses the USB port that will change the Shuffle while it is playing. It never runs out of battery.
2) It comes with the AC/DC power supply.
3) Very simple operation. It's really plugn and play

Things I dislike
1) Speakers are not loud enough.
2) No FM/AM radio
3) The on/off button shuts off the speakers only, it won't turn off the Shuffle to stop playing songs.

I can totally bear with those dislike items since the price is so good. I like it.

My son received this product as gift. When I plugged it in, nothing happened (apparently the quality control team was on vacation the day that this one was built).

I called "customer service" and was told that this model was not a good one and that I should buy a different model.

I choose not to do business with a company with poor products and poorer "customer service."

I purchased the iHome radio/recharger system for my ipod, specifically to listen to and recharge ipod at my photo studio. I would have liked to have known that the speakers required batteries. The sound was tinny and weak. The only redeeming feature was the recharging dock. I returned the system, which in and of itself was a huge hassel. The seller, Orangeonions, took forever to respond to my request for an RMA..and in fact I had to make two requests. I'm still waiting to see my refund. Would not recomment this product or the company.
