iHome iP99BR Dual Alarm Clock Radio with Dock for iPod, iPhone (Black) Review
Pros:
- A convenient way to charge your iPod or iPhone on your night stand
- Sound quality is a 4 out of 5 stars, with clear highs and and adequate bottom for a clock radio
- Handles all iPhone audio (except calls), including video and internet radio
- Clean and simple remote control with good across-the-room range
- Backlit buttons and display have several light levels, dimmed at the touch of a button
- Solid construction, compact
- Line-in for additional source
- Does indeed block out Edge/Wifi iPhone interference (in my personal experience, you milage may vary) as long as you’re in iPod/iPhone mode. There is some inevitable interference when in radio mode. This is the nature of RF, folks.
Cons:
- No internal AM antenna, so you’ll need to use the included loop
- Input select button cycles through AM, FM, and Line Input but not iPod/iPhone. The iPod/iPhone is selected as the source
by pressing the play button or if the iPod/iPhone is already playing audio before being plugged into the dock. This is fine if you plan to use only the iPod functionality. If you’re an internet radio listener, you’ll need to get the station streaming before plugging in. Not a big issue, but worthy of note.
