save your money!!!.......2007-11-03
I bought this system for my husband to use with his ipod. The sound quality was poor . . .really muddy, especially when the bass boost and "subwoofer" were enabled. I tried unplugging the sub woof and the sound was then tinny and poor. I ended up returning it to the store. We're still on the "hunt" for an economical but great sounding system . .. this wasn't worth it.
nice system.......2007-10-14
Got this for our 10yr old son. When I asked him what he thought he said AWESOME! Good sound, easy functioning. Everything all in one is what I like & the price at Amazon.
Don't buy this - Doesn't work.......2007-06-13
This product doesn't work i recieved it and when i turned it on i only could see the blue light from de LCD but no numbers and the CD Drive didn't open. I paid for it and now i have nothing to do because it passed more than 30 days and i cannot returned it..... Don't buy this.
Awesome sound!!.......2007-06-12
This little thing ROCKS!!! I just got it today and I am already in LOVE with it! Clear crisp sound, no problems here! I was somewhat concerned after reading some of the other reviews, but not anymore. This is a great little system for the money!
Instuctions please?.......2007-05-29
I was very dissappointed with the fact that i did not receive instructions for this complex system, i am still trying to figure out how to set the clock!! But to say a few other things about it; the cd and ipod plays well. As for starting up the radio, it's a joke. The antenna is just a string with nothing else to hold it up for a good reception so the radio is always fuzzy. The LCD screen i wish would turn off when you turn off the rest of the system, it is rather bright when trying to sleep. But i am glad to say that i do not have any hissing or beeping with me stereo.

Amazon.com Product Description
Ideal for dorm rooms and backyard barbecues, the iLive 2.1-channel boombox packs a solid array of features into an affordable package. The primary selling point of the IBCD3816DT is its built-in iPod docking station, which not only plays the iPod video, iPod photo, iPod, iPod mini, iPod nano, and iPod shuffle, but also charges the unit while you listen. Users will also dig the included remote control, which lets folks operate all of the aforementioned iPods (except the iPod shuffle) from a distance. It's perfect for parties or lounging on the couch, as you needn't amble up to the unit to adjust the volume or skip a track. The boombox also includes a slot-loading CD player (with support for CD-R/RW formats) and an AM/FM tuner, along with several intuitive knobs and buttons for quick and easy system control.
The boombox owes its smooth audio performance to its pair of stereo speakers and accompanying dual side-firing subwoofers, which deliver thumping bass that's far deeper than most portable iPod speaker systems. In addition, the IBCD3816DT accommodates both older iPods and other audio devices--such as MP3 players, personal game systems, and personal CD players--through its auxiliary line input. Add in a video output for playing videos and slideshows on a connected TV and you have a great boombox for the modern media landscape. Other details include a sleek white housing, four preset equalizer settings, an easy-to-read backlit LCD display with a digital clock, and a stereo headphone jack.
The boombox, which runs on either eight D batteries (not included) or AC/DC power (an AC cord is included, but the 12-volt DC car adapter is sold separately), measures 17.5 by 7.4 by 7.6 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a limited 90-day warranty.

Excellent value for the money.......2007-12-17
I just bought this for my daughter's birthday. $79 at Kohl's. I did a lot of research including going to the Apple store. My daugher wanted this for her iPod 2nd. gen Nano. She also wanted AM/FM and CD. Quite a tall order for something I didn't want to spend too much on. I was going to get the Logitech for $129 which sounds good but doesn't have the CD or radio. I will have to admit to not listening to this before buying it, but after getting it home and listening to it I am very happy with the purchse and my daughter is thrilled. It even comes with Aux. in jack and a USB for older iPod Shuffles. The remote is a bonus but doesn't work from very far away. As for the hiss, I'm 43 and can't hear it but my 10 year old tells me she can hear it. Frankly, nothing out there touches this for the money. In fact if you get a Kohl's credit card you get another 20% off. The fact that this has so many features, a nice back lit blue display and pretty decent sound I recommend it. Sure, if you want to spend $300 on a Bose do it, but if not this is a good buy.
Probably won't last long.......2007-08-06
My daughter received this item as a birthday gift a year ago. She used it very little. She was never happy with it because it's cumbersome and it takes up too much space in her very-limited dorm room. Her dad and I decided to buy it from her. We learned that the CD player has stopped working after only one year. Also, the sound quality is not optimal because the speakers hiss if the volume is not turned up loud. Since the CD player ceased functioning, I have a feeling other features will fail shortly. We are not pleased--and I would not recommend this item.
Don't Buy This If You're Looking for Good Quality!.......2007-07-22
I purchased the iHome thinking that I was getting such a good deal on a great sounding portable iPod docking station and boom box. I was looking for something portable that I would be able to take with me into the bathroom for those long showers. I was pleased with it at first, but it has just become even more and more annoying. I love the fact that not only does it have the radio, but also CD player, and AUX capabilities. There are more flaws though than there are pros. The biggest flaw is the hissing noise it is known for making. Even when no iPod is connected or anything, there is a loud hissing noise that can be heard. It is quite annoying. Also, the speakers aren't very high quality. The bass has to be turned all the way down for the system to have at least some clarity in the music. When the bass is all the way up, you can forget about it. It just sounds like a big, loud, clattering noise that is rather annoying. I wouldn't purchase this if you're looking for a good quality iPod player, spend the extra money and buy something nicer with a better sound. If you're using it for small periods of time, such as in the shower, it's a good buy.
Constant static sound reminds me of the 1970's AM radios.......2007-06-24
The static sound is constant no matter what volume or if you're playing from CD, IPOD or Radio. Radio reception is bad too. These are easy things to get right. The manufacturer must have had to cut some pretty serious corners to foul this up.
Awful product!.......2007-05-28
I received this as a Christmas gift December 2006. February 2007, it stopped working completely. Will not turn on, eject the CD that's currently in it, or play anything -- radio, iPod, CD, etc. I do not have the receipt anymore, and am going to have to trash it. I do NOT recommend this product, nor any other products by this manufacturer.

Works well, but I have gone through two now.......2007-03-08
I am so torn on how to rate this, but I want to say first that I have read a number of reviews here on Amazon and elsewhere complaining about the "static" that this device allegedly produces. Anytime you mix power and sound, you get problems with grounding. There is a device called a "ground loop isolator" (GLI) that will eliminate the buzz. The buzzing is NOT a result of this being a crappy product, it is a result of poorly setup audio inputs in cars (either 3rd party or OEM). If you are not using a GLI, expect to have annoying buzzing when using a device like this, but don't blame it on the device itself.
I am on my second one of these, contemplating buying a third (and no, not because I like to stockpile them and/or waste money). My first one started to come apart between the wire and the part that plugs into the iPod. It may have partially been my fault, as people tend to tug the wire sometimes and it might have pulled loose, but I like to think that this thing should have been able to handle a little bit of that.
So I replaced that first one once it fell apart completely (mostly aggravated at that point by me trying to fix it), and the one I have now always cuts out the left channel. I have to unplug and replug the 1/8" connector over and over again to make good contact. It is highly annoying, and I am ready to replace it again. I think that the first one really might have been a problem of not enough TLC on my end, and the second one could very well be the one bad one out of a batch of many, but I really hesitate to buy a third at this point.
But the reason I am even considering it after all the trouble I have had is that when these things work, they work really well. It charges and plays the music all through one wire, using the audio output of the iPod (so the iPod volume doesn't come into play). It automatically pauses when I turn off my car (might be different from car to car depending on how the power to the 12v outlet is switched in your car) which is very convenient. I wish that it could somehow magically unpause when I started the car back up, but that is technically not very feasible. The bottom line is that when this works, this is an incredible product (that I have yet to find a good competitor for from another company).
Hopefully when and if I buy another one of these, I get a good one.
Junk.......2007-01-04
Tons of static and I have a direct line running from this into my car stereo (NOT FM TUNER). It charges fine and cuts off ipod when I turn off engine but the amount of static makes it unusable. I would have been better off with just a cheap charger for the car.
You will not find a better power for Ipod........2006-03-10
I have had this Ipod car power adaptor for years. Then, it was stolen out of my friend's car. I went out and bought the first power adapter I found. It was terrible. Not all adapters are created equal.
Here's what I love about this product.
1) The cassette (or FM Transmitter) plugs into the adaptor. So when you get into the car, one plug and you are listening to tunes. Most adaptors require you to use the phone jack on the top. Twice as much work.
2) Ok, reason #1 is pretty much it.

ilive ipod boombox.......2007-10-01
I have found this unit to be very easy to operate and have been using it every day at work. I work in a print shop with several different machines running most of the time and am able to turn up the volume loud enough to hear over the machines and it still sounds good. I especially like the Ipod function with remote control and charging capability. Overall I would say that this is a good unit and the price was very reasonable.
Eddie
Love it!.......2007-09-29
The iLive has practically everything in it. It's a CD player, a radio, and can play every size iPod. It even has a connection for other MP3 players. I love that it even charges the iPod!! Plug it in at home or put batteries in it when you're on the go. The only downfall is its remote - for some reason it doesn't work from every angle and from certain distances.
Do not purchase this system .......2007-08-22
I am cheerleading coach and I really wanted a system that could play CDs and my i-pod (plus provide good sound within a gym for practice). I have been anything but happy with this system. It skips every time you play the CD. The sound is not very loud. The buttons are difficult to use and do not always respond when touched. Overall I would not rate this system highly.
Undesired fuzz.......2007-07-13
There is alot of fuzz and noise and the over all sound quality is not great. I would have been better off getting the cheaper one that sounds better without the CD player than to get this ilive piece.
You get what you pay for!!!.......2007-06-18
I returned it for the Insignia iTravel Boombox! Eventhough, the iLive unit can really crank out the sound with the Ipod. All these reviews listed here are true. It has no bass, which is sad. The high-end frequencies are cleaner. Hip-Hop sounded so-so. Other music like Latin, Jazz, some Reggae, sounded better. There is a little hiss, which seems to come from interference from the Ipod itself, especially when my 60GB Ipod hard drive revs up, but the music drowns it out. This should NOT be a standalone unit in your living room. If you want something cleaner in sound, pay more money. If you want something for the beach, camping, parties, etc. buy this one. If I broke this unit I wouldn't care. If I took a Bose SoundDock to the beach, that would be insane. I did think the Insignia® iTravel Boombox puts out better sound for the same $60. Don't spend more than $60 on the ILive.

Lackluster product.......2007-12-26
I was hoping for much more. The unit I received had a problem with the CD player door. It had a pulled to open fully and popped every time. The radio has an analog tuning dial that is very hard to adjust to the desired channel. The ipod dock navigated well, but there was a clicking in the audio. The overall audio quality was very tinny. I returned this product.
Good for the price.......2007-12-13
Sound is not great at very high volume - no storage for extension cord or remote control, however size is convenient and very portable.
it'll do...for now.......2007-11-20
Overall, the boombox is ok. Looks nice. Very portable. Like the remote. Haven't used the CD player yet, so can't comment on that. If you have a fine-tuned ear, I suggest you look for another product. I hear a lot of static when I listen to my iPod unless I turn up the volume. I still use it almost daily, but wished I had done a little research to find something better. But given it's low price, it's handy to have to take places and not worry about it getting damaged.
A little better than I expected.......2007-11-06
I bought this for my 12 year old daughter. She has an Ipod nano (one year old). The unit has all of the features we were looking for. Ipod charger,AC or battery, radio, and CD player. She still has a lot of CD's that she listens to. The sound quality is better than I expected from small speakers. Light on bass as you would expect. Styling was right on for her. My daughter is very pleased with it.
A previous reviewer mentioned that the Nano's don't work in this, but my daughters works just fine. The plug slides back and forth to adapt to the various IPod configurations. Time will tell regarding quality.
Great product for the price.......2007-09-29
I bought this to replace my ihome clock radio. The ihome just didn't have enough volume to drown out my voice when I sang along to my ipod. This unit gets much louder than the ihome. But I still had to keep the ihome because the AM radio reception on on this ilive is so horrible. There is no external antenna, and they expect you to move the unit around to attempt to get better reception.
The sound quality is best if you don't turn it up too much. I just use this in the kitchen when I am cooking, so it suits me just fine and I am glad I bought it.

Amazon.com Product Description
Save counter space in your kitchen or workshop while still enjoying your full iPod library with the iHome under-cabinet stereo. Boasting a built-in dock that charges your iPod, an integrated FM/TV/weather tuner, and a three-line display that tells you what's playing from a distance, the unit is perfect for space-challenged users everywhere. To mount the system, simply locate a cabinet, shelf, or desk with roughly 5 inches of underside space. Once you've determined the ideal location, the system installs discreetly using the included mounting hardware. Within minutes you'll have access to hundreds of iPod playlists, the full FM radio spectrum, the audio channels of select TV stations, or any of the built-in weather band channels, all in the comfort of your kitchen or garage.
The motorized docking station is built to protect your iPod--a must in cooking and working environments--with a tray that slides the iPod out of sight while you listen. In addition, it's easy to switch from station to station thanks to the 12 tuner presets, which include four FM1, four FM2, and four TV presets. Best of all, the unit sounds great thanks to the Reson8 ported speaker technology, which delivers full, rich audio through the pair of 3-watt speakers.
Other details include a 120-minute cooking timer for kitchen use, an easy-to-clean vinyl membrane keypad, a factory-preset clock with calendar, a battery backup function that maintains the clock settings after a power failure, and a remote control that adjusts the radio and iPod settings. The remote even includes a magnetic backing that attaches to the side of the iHome player. The unit, which measures 13.03 by 3.28 by 10.98 inches (W x H x D), is backed by a 90-day warranty

Pleasantly surprised.......2007-12-18
I had an undercouter radio/CD player but wanted to replace it with an Ipod player. I was surprised by the quality of the sound - better than the one I had. I would certainly recommend this product to anyone who enjoys music while spending time in the kitchen. THe only "con" I'd like to point out it there are not any other units of this type (undercounter) available for comparison.

This product was such a great purchase. It is easy to install, has great sound quality, and is easy to use. I have one it my kitchen and love it.
Great product - easy installation.......2007-12-13
I bought this from Amazon for my wife's birthday, because she said she wanted to listen to music while she cooked. This player fits the bill perfectly. The sound is good, not great and it is dead easy to use. The installation instructions were probably the clearest best written guides I've ever read. I love the big display of song info. I only wish I could switch playlists while the iPod is inside the unit, but that is a small quibble.
A Surprising Must-Have.......2007-12-08
When I was given this iHome under-counter speaker system as a gift, I was not thrilled. I already had Altec Lansing inMotion Portable Audio System for iPod for my iPod, and I was not a fan of kitchen electronics. Within minutes of its installation, however, I fell in love with it. The sound is much richer and clearer than what comes out of my Altec speakers. I use the iHome almost every day.
Most people will buy this for its iPod capabilities, although the other features are nice since they replace what many people might have already had in their kitchen. With a single touch, the iPod holder glides out and down. The adaptors that come with the system accommodate most iPod models (not the Shuffle and possibly not the new touch screen 3G, although I don't know about this last); while the iPods fit without these pieces of plastic, the improper support may bend the connections when the iPod is inside the unit. Once inserted, the iPod can be played either outside or inside the machine. Best of all, the iHome screen displays the song being played as well as the artist and the album, a great feature especially when you're listening to a new album or shuffling. The FM radio gets decent reception if you run the antenna wire under your cabinets; the weather radio is automatically tuned and comes in as good as any weather station will. (There's also a "tv" mode which I've never used.) When not in use, the unit displays the time. If you want to store the iPod in the sleeve, it acts as a dock, leaving your iPod always charged and ready to travel. If you leave iHome on and set your iPod's alarm, the music will play at the predetermined time.
The connectors for the unit allow for different hanging heights. Mine is installed with in a 5 ½ inch space, from the cabinet connection point to the lowest point on the unit, and it could take up even less space if I didn't have cabinet molding not flush with the bottom of the cabinet itself. The actual dimensions, not including connectors, are 13 inches wide, 10 ¾ inches deep, and 3 inches high.
The only flaw with this system is the occasional hiccup. When you start the iPod outside of the unit and then close the holder, the sound stops for a second or two, then resumes. Less often, my iPod, especially when left in an open holder, will display as though it has just been synched, and this prevents the alarm from working.
While not providing high-end range, the iHome under-counter player still provides good, relatively clean sound, especially for a kitchen setting where one isn't likely to sit and listen intently. This would make a wonderful gift for anyone who has an ipod. Don't be surprised if the recipient seems indifferent at first - that will quickly change! I highly recommend this.
Love it!.......2007-12-02
