Perfect little bookshelf system.......2007-12-26

This works great in my son's room. The subwoofer really rounds out the sound nicely, and the iPod integration is great. I would definitely buy this again.

Great value for money.......2007-05-20

I bought mine at Target. I put by iPod in the display model in the store, hit "play" and man...what a sound! No hiss, awsome bass. (Perhaps some other reviewers should take theirs back while they can and request an exchange.) With sound this good, I couldn't justify paying $150 more for the Apple HiFi.

We brought it home (paid $199 in the store) and my 12-year-old was able to direct installation with no difficulty. Yes, there ARE lots of cables, but they are logical, color coded and really not difficult to manage. You'll need a phillps or nut driver to attach the FM antenna.

It is designed for a bookshelf, but we set it up with the subwoofer (that big, heavy speaker mentioned in another review) under the bed and the speakers on opposite nightstands.

Sound is wonderful, the remote works perfectly...very intuitive. We did have to refer to the manual to set the clock, but that made sense first time round with the directions.

Only one "I wish"....I wish it had an alarm clock. And I wish I'd known they come in white. I'd have looked elsewhere for one to match my iPod. (Which is a 30G video model. Adapters for all the models were included. Check the package before you buy, mates.)

Happy listening!

Looks beautiful. Quality is TERRIBLE........2007-04-05

This system looks nice and perfectly matches the color and finish of the iPod, but the quality leaves much to be desired. It has terrible radio reception. If you connect a sync cable to the unit, the remote no longer works. And worst of all, the cheap speakers produce a terrible hissing noise that can be heard from several feet away. This hissing noise NEVER goes away, even if you have the system muted. I really suggest you look elsewhere. This product is not worth buying.

iPod Dummy's Review.......2007-01-20

I bought the iH52B Bookshelf System for iPods for my husband for Christmas. As a non-ipod user, I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but my husband was quite thrilled with it. The one thing I did not like about it, was the speaker was huge and there were so many wires. But the sound is great and the look is sleek

Great sound, with a slim profile.......2007-01-19

I purchased the iHome bookshelf system for my husband for Christmas, and we absolutely love it. The reason that I purchased it was (1) it accepts the iPod Shuffle Gen1, and (2) the small profile of the base unit. The design is very slick and clean, and it fits well in our space. And, the speakers don't take up a ton of room either.

We also use the unit for the FM Radio, and the sound quality is very good. The only drawback that I see is that the interface is not as good with the Shuffle as it would be with a normal iPod. That is, you have to physically walk over and move between songs on the iPod, while it is docked in the system, and you can't use the remote for anything other than volume and on/off when the iPod Shuddle is playing. But, I knew when I got the shuffle that it wasn't as robust as the regular iPod, and went for the value price. So, it is really not a big deal.

Great product, I would buy it again!

Great sound BUT not control of Ipod Video .......2007-11-10

It has great sound but is a pain to try to change the songs on the IPOD VIDEO. You have to change it directly in the Ipod so the remote control only manage the volume.

Something that I didn't figure it out is how turn off the automatically star on. It play itself and I don't know how turn this off.

Not bad for the $$$; really 3.5 stars.......2007-07-14

This is a great system for the money. Sound is pretty good and the feature are ok. The guy that can't get the song title with his video iPod: push the display button. This will display the song titles, artist, etc..., but you'll have to hit the display button again if you want to scroll through your iPod. You can skip between songs on the current album/playlist but it won't go to the next album for instance. Not much of a problem for me.

Also, the remote was a pain for a while because when I wanted to skip a song it would just FF a couple seconds. This was infuriating, until I learned if you hit the display button it takes care of this problem.

I am unhappy that one of my FM station always has interference. The other ones don't but that one will not go away. All in all it's been an enjoyable system, with a few quirks. I don't think their engineers are the best though. Compared to how amazing other gadgets have become this one falls short.

Great sound.......2007-05-01

Great system, clean sound and very loud, the display is great so I can see what songs are on from across the room! I have 3 iHome products and I havent had a problem yet.

iH52 review.......2007-01-23

I am torn over this unit. It sounds great, looks sharp but unfortunately does not work with my early generation 20 gb ipod (unless I hook it up with mp3 inline). My ipod will dock in unit without a problem, but will not charge and doesn't show data. One would think they would make these compatible with ALL ipods, even it is a couple years old!! Also only has 6 preset FM stations. I've had it for a few weeks but can't justify the $200 price tag and keeping it if doesn't work with my ipod in it's intended purpose. I don't think it's worth having to buy another >$200 ipod to get complete use out of it.
