iHome iH5BR Clock Radio for iPod (Black)

Amazon.com Product Description

With its built-in docking station and clean, contemporary design, the iHome iH5 clock radio is the perfect complement for your Apple iPod digital music player. Not only does the iH5 let you listen to your iPod music free from cumbersome headphones, it also lets you fall asleep or wake to music you've loaded into your iPod. You can also wake or sleep to FM/AM radio or wake to a traditional buzzer.

The compact unit measures roughly 9 x 3 x 6 inches (W x H x D) yet comes complete with stereo speakers, drift-free digital FM/AM radio tuning, a multifunction LCD with adjustable backlighting, and the ability to charge your docking iPod's battery right from its center seat. (The iH5 includes handy inserts to accommodate any type of docking iPod: gen 3, gen 4, iPod mini, or iPod photo.)

Immediately upon plugging it in and the clock will set itself, drawing on its factory-installed 100-year calendar (year/month/day, 2000 to 2099). The clock will maintain accuracy all on its own, even self-adjusting for Daylight Savings time and leap years.

Fall asleep to your favorite station or a carefully chosen iPod playlist using the unit's programmable sleep timer (15 to 120 minutes in 15-minute increments). Gradual Wake and Gradual Sleep features will increase (with on wake-up) or decrease (on sleep) the system volume so as not to startle you. Adjustable sleep volume lets you select a comfortable "sleep" volume level without affecting the wake-to or listening volume levels.

A supplied analog audio interconnect affords hookups with non-docking iPods, other MP3 players, cassette players, or other audio devices. Other features include automatic frequency control (AFC) for enhanced FM reception, an amber backlight on all primary buttons, and optical knobs for precise volume/tuning.

For extra security, if you've selected iPod as your wake-to source and your iPod isn't docked, a buzzer will sound instead. The clock also comes with Sure Alarm battery backup--just install 2 AA batteries to activate the feature. In the event of a power failure, or if you disconnect the AC power cord to move it, the Sure Alarm system will maintain your clock and alarm setting for the life of the batteries, ensuring that the alarm will sound at the set time.

The iH5 is "Made for iPod"-certified by Apple.

What's in the Box
Clock radio, a stereo analog audio interconnect, dock inserts for any type of docking iPod (gen 3, gen 4, iPod mini, iPod photo, iPod nano), an AC power adapter, and a user's manual with warranty information.

Look elsewhere.......2007-12-12

Our iHome is now just a clock radio as the ipod dock has a short in it after about 7-8 months of (infrequent) use. Had this issue not occurred, I would have given it 3+ stars as it is functional, but sound quality is a little lacking and the remote has very limited distance.

Decent, works with iPod Touch.......2007-11-06

Okay, there are some good things about this product, and it works with my iPod Touch, which is great, but ...

what were they thinking with the button layout? The middle row of buttons, behind the snooze alarm, is a set of buttons that you rarely want to use, and which are easy to press by accident.

In particular, the button on the left, which toggles between which alarms are set (none, iPod alarm, radio alarm, or both) is right in front of the button that plays iPod tracks. So twice already I've accidentally toggled my alarm clock from both alarms being set to no alarm being set when all I wanted to do was play the iPod music. Really bad design.

It should be a basic rule of alarm clock design that it is difficult to change the alarm clock setting by accident.

IHOME DOES NOT WOrk WITH NEWER IPODS.......2007-10-29

I bought this Ihome IH5 a few months agao when I had an old 3rd genreation IPOD. Well it was time for an upgrade and I just bought a new 8g NANO. Gues what, this machine does not work on any of the newer IPODS brought out in 2007!
When I called to complain I was told, "well we did not know Apple was bringing out new versions??? Come on that is just pure bunk!. So I asked so do I just throw out $99.00 and buy a different machine. The answer was well I cannot tell you what to do, but we are trying to test the new models and maybe you will have to download some software. I asked when and they said we do nnot know it will be a few months. So all the money I spent on this machine is totally wasted. DO NOT BUY THESE PRODUCTS, if you have a 2007 IPOD or planning on one for the holidays

Don't waste your money on this one.......2007-10-25

The sound quality is poor and we can never listen to the radio without static. You have to hit the buttons twice to turn it off or on. Needless to say, we don't use it any more. Instead we bought [[ ASIN: B000OFSN4G Altec Lansing inMotion iM600 ]] which isn't an alarm system but you can set an alarm with the iPod and whose sound quality is excellent.

Before I bought this item there was only one drawback that I could see, its price. I didn't understand what was so valuable about this Ipod/Clock radio combo that I would want to pay $70-90 for one, but I purchased one anyways because I knew that I could sell it on Amazon or eBay for close to the purchase price that I paid for it. I thought that I would keep it for a couple of month and if I didn't work out I would re-sell it. I have let that couple of months tick by and I really happy to say that this was a good purchase and I use every aspect of this device more often than I thought I was going to.

This includes just being able to use my Ipod more often because the Ihome allows you to charge overnight. Nothing beats to waking up to my favorite band, Dave Mathews thanks to the Ihome because you get to wake up to the music on your Ipod. Of course, you can still wake up to the regular beeping noise also, but I love all of the options that this device gives you. As other reviewers have noted, this model gives you three options as to the brightness of the display light, which is nice.

The sound that this unit produces isn't mind shattering, but that is not what I purchased it for in the first place and I didn't expect it to be that great. It doesn't have any bass or treble features, so you have rely on your Ipod equalizer settings for different music sound selections. And if you use the radio there are not any pre-sets available, but then again I don't use my Ihome to listen to the radio because I have XM radio in addition to my Ipod. But to its defense the Ihome is capable of being hooked to a larger stereo system because of its output function and you can put other devices into the unit through its input hook-up.

All in all, this a very capable unit that seems to be put together with quality materials that I expect to have for a number of years. Not to mention that is also compatible with basically the entire Ipod line, which is more than I can say for the Apple cooperation and all of the changes that they have made to their latest 6th generation of Ipods, and what reviewers have wrote about them.

Fantastic stereo receiver.......2007-07-14

From a long line of great Yamaha stereo receivers comes this wonderful model. This unit is rated at 100W/channel, but delivers much more like 150W/channel. Plus, it delivers these watts with exceptionally low distortion, comparing favorably to a $1200 Carver amp separate that I own. People obsess so much over their electronics that they forget the cardinal tenet of hi-fi: speakers are what make the real difference. Teamed with my Klipsch speakers and powered sub on low-pass filtering, this amp delivered extremely crisp sound, though it does lack the warmth of my pricier gear. Unless you're ready to drop some serious money on separate pre-amp and amp, it's tough to beat this little two-channel powerhouse.

Yamaha RX-797 - AV receiver

Lots of power and very clean sound.

This is 2 ch so dont compare this to HTR models

I'm running Bose 301s and I cant ask for any more good clean sound, with lot of bass.
THD is very low... this is important

2 zone remote

Basic control that you dont need schooling for.

price is right.......I paid $425.00

cold, sterile, constricted sound.......2007-06-12

In the late '70's Yamaha had a couple of receivers that were quite nice, with rich, warm, smooth, powerful sound. This receiver is just the opposite in every aspect. It does have a remote so if you are lazy and do not really care about fidelity then this is a good choice since all the other brands sound even worse.

Excellent Stereo Receiver.......2007-01-14

I bought this receiver new for $350 (it was $499 at the local electronics outlet) to hook to a pair of new Bose 901's and couldn't be happier. I have always been a fan of Yamaha and this doesn't disappoint. Great power which delivers clean, crisp sound. I have a cheap Sony subwoofer hooked up also and the sound on music and movies is outstanding. Great features if you are not all that interested in surround sound. The remote is easy to use and the dual zone feature is nice.

Highly recommended, although the price is pretty steep. Can be found for significantly less expensive if you do your research.
