Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

iHome has so many versions of this "Home System" that I've lost track. Most of them are within this price range and under one-hundred dollars. I have to say, this is probably the best, most basic, `all you need' model yet. It will take your iPod, iPhone or iPad. Sure, the clock works great with two alarms and the capacity to set to weekdays or weekends or a combo. The clock sets itself, as well as the time and calendar with a simple click of the `clock' button. You also are suggested to `update your iD45 firmware'; meaning your iHome settings are upgraded to the latest devices, meaning your clock is readily updatable without waiting for those early bugs to be fixed. You can listen to your "device", the radio (AM/FM) and other portable devices through the auxiliary input in the back. It also has that `snooze' button or `naps' that go for (9) settings up to (2) hours. It's just easy to operate. The sound? It is the best so far, as now there is an equalizer allowing you to set the treble, bass and balance. PLUS, 3D Sound. This feature is new, but the difference is remarkable, as you really get a fuller sound compared to all other iHome docks I have heard. It will fill a small room without any distortion. The top of the unit is `flush' with the buttons, making it look sleek and the Flexible 30-pin connector is long enough that you can leave your iPhone/iPod case on and it still works. An Otterbox would be too large. All these units have that proprietary power plug that hangs so you have to place it on the bottom of the two wall sockets. It also has a silly wafer-thin remote that you can lose the first day, but... The look is good, the sound is great and the use is easy. This is a keeper, finally.
