 Not fancy but nice. Jun 29, 2007
By Fredrick T. Hurlburt
"tooteaching"
I bought this iHome product a few weeks ago. No one on the Internet has reviewed it yet so I thought I'd take a swing at it.
Pros:
1. The cost- It is probably one of the least expensive iPod speakers on the market. It cost me around $50.00 (I didn't buy it on Amazon). As a result it doesn't have many extras (see below) but, like I said it doesn't cost that much.
2. The looks- It's actually a pretty nice looking little unit almost retro. I like the big dial on it. It looks sharp wherever you put it. I've only found it in black (I have a white ipod) but that not a big deal for me.
3. Good sound- I'm not an audiophile and this isn't a huge stereo system. However, it puts out good sound for the one speaker. The radio (AM and FM) also sound good.
4. Charges the iPod well- Enough said. (It does say on the manual that it does not charge the 3rd generation iPods. However, my iPod is fairly new and if your iPod is that old maybe it's type for an upgrade anyway.)
5. Light and easy to carry- Again enough said.
Cons:
1. Not many extras- No remote control (if you have an iPod dock you can run the dock though the auxiliary jack and use the apple remote. However you need to unplug the auxiliary jack if you want to use any other feature on the unit.) As I said, it comes with an auxiliary jack and cord. I plugged in a little Memorex mp3 player and it sounds great. No video out jack. No clock or alarm. It does come with adapters for just about any iPod.
2. Antennas- The FM antenna is a wire that comes ouf the back of the ipod. There is a place to tuck it in if you don't need it extended. The AM antenna is plastic and plugs into the back of the unit. It's not that hard to remove it if you are going to carry it but it would better if the antennas on the unit were built in. The manufacturer needs to do a better job with this feature.
Overall- If you want something with a ton of features that will blast your music and make the walls shake, this is is not the unit for you. However, if you want something that's fairly inexpensive, looks nice and puts out decent sound this might be a unit to look at.

 nice BASS sound Dec 19, 2007
By Gregory Mathews
"jube dog"
i just bought the iH10 for my wife to use in her classroom and had a day or so to check it out at home. this thing has great bass response and overall loudness for a box this size. must be something about the depth of the box, because we listened to many other types of docking stations that were flatter in design, but also flatter in sound. it docks our "old" photo ipod with no problems and even docked my iphone (after i turned on the airplane feature). it comes with adapters to dock the smaller ipods and even a cable to connect all other types of mp3 players or cd players. what i really like is the analog radio dial. it even got npr very well. i recommend the black unit. the wood one looks fake to me and cheapens it. the white one looks horrid to me, maybe for a kid's room that has a black and white theme or something. it doesn't have a clock, but then this is not a clock radio. anyway your ipod has a clock on it. great for a bedroom or a classroom.

Surprisingly Good Sound! Jan 04, 2008
By Martin L. Hanson
"Marty"
I have been looking at table radios for quite some time. I have listened to the Tivoli Model One and Model Two. I have listened to the Bose Wave, the Boston Acoustic Recepter, a Cambridge Soundworks, and a Sony table radio. They are all great products and were all good sounding in their own unique way. The tuning and reception varied, however, from model to model, not to mention the sticker shock - these radios get expensive!
In my online searching, I came across the iHome IH10B and was very intrigued by the good reviews. I also wanted something with aux in, and iPod capabilities. The price seemed too good to be true, especially after looking at the brands mentioned above. I decided I would take a chance on the iHome IH10B- I couldn't resist the low price (about $40 including shipping).
It turned out to be an excellent choice! This radio is nothing short of amazing. It has excellent AM and FM reception. I love the analog tuner. The build quality is very nice. The sound quality is excellent across the board with very nice bass response and a very natural sound overall. It sounds as good playing classical music as it does rock and country. AM radio sounds amazingly good. This radio competes very well with the higher priced radios. It sounds great and looks great too.
I might just buy another one I like it so well!

great sound Sep 02, 2007
By R. L. Rolle
I would completely agree with what the other person said about this unit. The sound is actually the best I've heard from a small system like this in this price range. Yeah it's not as long as some of the others but the sound itself is pretty good. If you like to actually hear your lows and your highs and are willing to deal with a lack of extras this is for you. I like to hear everything in the music which is why I picked this one. You can get from some stores for a little cheaper than here though.

Nice little product Mar 11, 2008
By Ctown
Nice, simple, and very affordable little radio/ipod player. Definitely better than more expensive models available at Best Buy and other retailers, plus it comes with a good AM/FM radio. I use mine for the office and my only complaint/suggestion would be that it's difficult to control the volume when you want the volume very low...meaning the volume dial is very sensitive when you get down to very low volume. Not a big deal in the long run. The large tuning dial is a nice feature and certainly beats the smaller dials of older radios. Also comes with a separate AM antenna which is nice. This is great for an office if you are looking for a solid, no frills speaker.
