iHome iP9BR Clock Radio for iPod, iPhone (Black) Review
The sound is slightly improved over my older IH5 and IH6 radios — which is to say excellent for the money — and so far I haven’t heard the slightest GSM buzz. The iP9′s 3D effect is richer than the Sony ICF-C1iPMK2′s “Mega Xpand” feature. The overall sound of the iP9 is slightly warmer than that of the Sony but otherwise comparable. The Eq option is a big plus.
The one advantage the Sony has is that it supports an iPhone from the back via and adustable block. That somewhat negates the need for a dock insert. This is a nice convenience for people with an iPhone shell that is small enough to fit in a universal dock as you may not have to remove the shell to dock the iPhone securely. You NEED an insert on the iP9 as you would on any device with a universal dock on top and nothing substantial behind the dock. Fortunately, the iPhone insert iHome includes seems to work as well as an iPhone 3G Universal Dock Insert from Apple… and it’s black! The iHome website currently states that the IP9 does not ship with an iPhone 3G insert but perhaps iHome wised-up.
The dual alarms work in a similar manner to the Sony. The 2-5-7 day setting is a plus. I have not used the snooze feature though it is supposed to be configurable. Our dogs do not allow us to snooze, in case you were wondering. At night, one big advantage for the iP9 is that the dimmer allows you to turn off the backlighting entirely. As anyone with a Sony will tell you, their dimmest setting is way too bright. The iHome’s numbers are also a little larger.
