Wake Up Volume Goes From 0 to 60 in 2 seconds.......2007-12-04
When I bought this alarm clock for my husband, little did I know that both of us would like to smash it against the wall in sheer frustration. Our hopes for an alarm clock that would gently wake us to the tune of our choice were rudely disrupted when we discovered the volume on the alarm feature can not be controlled by the user. It starts quietly enough but within a nanosecond the volume has risen to the highest decibel levels the radio plays. Hit the snooze and in a few minutes it happens again. This alarm clock woke our guests one flight down and four rooms over on the other side of the house before we could find the off button. The buttons are small with tiny type our sleepy eyes couldn't read. Bed Bath & Beyond said iHome fixed the issue in the latest version and would repair our clock radio for a large fee plus we would have to pay the shipping charges. It's cheaper to chuck it and replace it.
Quietest Volume Setting Is Too Loud.......2007-10-25
It's a fine product overall, but we have a couple of complaints:
1. The quietest volume setting is still too loud. This is very unfortunate for almost half of its usefulness is to be able to fall asleep to it. This is the most serious drawback to this device.
2. The wheel buttons are a little quirky. There's nothing to grab onto and unlike the iPod itself, these actually turn. Not a major issue but a little irritating. They're trying too hard to be sleek and cool and forgot to make sure it actually works.
great while it works.......2007-09-27
I loved this product at first, but it breaks down pretty quickly. The first one I had stopped working randomly after 3 months. I returned it to the store where I bought it, and they replaced it with a brand new one. The new one worked for about 6 months and then randomly stopped again. Both quit totally unprovoked--I didn't drop them, spill anything on them, etc. While I really like the design and function, but I wouldn't recommend it because it is not very reliable. The warranty is only 90 days for a reason.
Not a good alarm clock.......2007-09-19
I thought this was a great idea and seemed to be the market leader. It performs as advertised, but does not function well as a bedside alarm clock. The (fully adjustable) blue clock light is either too bright at night or to dark during the day - no happy median. Also, the escalating volume alarm seems like a good feature, but it is not adjustable and escalates very quickly to a volume level that is too loud to wake too. I found myself hitting snooze to kill the noise, not just to go back to sleep. Very frustrating. Lastly, if you use sleep mode with the ipod, the display of the ipod comes on as the ihome shuts off, which is very bright at a nightstand in a dark room. I awoke to this several times and finally had enough. . . back in the box.
iHome model iH8.......2007-08-23
I gave this to my daughter who's leaving for college this fall and will be living in a dorm. This thing is perfect for that. It produces very good sound, doesn't distort with high volume, and also sounds great at lower or normal listening levels. The output is comparable to a good pair of computer speakers rated at 8 watts or so. There are many levels of light output for the clock (the light is blue) and can be turned off entirely if you want. It has an equalizer, but is very basic, only for controlling treble and bass. It comes with many adapters for various iPod models, and the one my daughter uses fits perfectly and is easy to insert and remove. She has a rubbery type skin on her iPod, and doesn't even have to take it off for the adapter--she just rolls it up a bit to make room at the bottom for it. The remote is a basic one but does everything you really need it to, and needs to be pointed fairly directly to work. The controls on the unit itself are on the top and are dummy-proof. We got the white one which is very nice looking--the speaker grilles are silvery color, and the whole unit is smaller than you'd think--it's about 10.5" long and about 3.5" tall--just right for a dorm room desk or bed shelf. There's an output plug on the back for another speaker if you want, but it's not really needed. This model seems to have addressed most if not all of the complaints about previous models. Its capabilities belie its price and small size. Just remember that this is not a high dollar piece of audio equipment, but if treated well, as if it were, it should work for you a good long time. We'd recommend the iH8 to anyone wanting a docker/clock radio.

defective.......2007-11-04
I have been trying to get an RMA from the seller to return this item.
They do not answer any messages.
The item does not work at all. I would never recommend this seller to anyone
I doubt I will ever get my money back. What a RIPOFF!!!!!!
It was purchased fromANTonline. Read their feedback first.
OK, but very hard to use.......2007-10-26
OK, first, the good:
The build quality is pretty good, and the sound is good, the radio works well, and it interfaces easily with the iPod.
The bad?
The controls are HORRIBLE. The buttons have no feedback to know if you have pressed them, the alarm is really difficult to set, and very hard to know whether you have set it correctly - it's a crap-shoot to know whether the alarm will go off in the morning. I would not recommend this as an alarm-clock, it's a pretty good iPod dock though.
Works fine, but poor design.......2007-09-08
I got this alarm clock because it looked like it had a support for the ipod. Reviews for other models say the connection breaks off over time, so I thought this would be a better design. It actually turns out the little back support doesn't come in contact with my ipod. Not a big deal, but slightly disappointing. The other thing is the light display. It is pointed at an angle that makes it tough to read on any surface equal to or higher than my bed. Similarly, the lighting on the time display is horrible. The back - light is way too bright. I have decided to keep the light off and use my old alarm clock for the clock. The ipod functions and alarm works really well so I am not going to return it, but I probably would buy something else if I had a chance to do it over.
really nice.......2007-06-11
very well made speaker. the dimmer could be a little less bright, but the sound is great. it is surprisingly not lacking bass. it keeps my ipod charged, and it is not too big to fit on a nightstand.
i wish it came in black too. or maybe it does....
nice job coby- not many flaws here!!
and certaily worth the money. shipped in about 3 days.

Customer Reviews:
Really really wanted to keep this, but..........2007-12-27
I received this as a surprise Christmas gift and I was thrilled. It appeared to be a perfect bedside alarm clock. As others here have mentioned though, probably the biggest strike against this product is the inability to preset the alarm volume. Others have mentioned they thought the external FM antenna was ugly. I'm just glad there was one as my favorite station has a weak signal.
This unit appears to do all, charge ipod, dock, wake up modes, three brightness levels, two alarm clocks, snooze button, compact appealing design. It is with great regret that I will probably have to return this unit due to the Alarm clock volume problem.
There appears to be no equal products. This little Philips unit definately struck an emotional chord with me, initially. Its going to be hard to box it up.
Shuts off after two minutes.......2007-12-15
I purchased this unit a week ago. The sound was great for the price. However, it won't stay on. My husband and I have tried many ways to get the unit to power on and stay on. We called Philips Customer service and they said to exchange it at the store. Did that yesterday. The new unit does the same thing. I have the iPod Classic. Don't know if it's a compatibiliy issue or if I'm just unlucky. Wish it worked! The sound is rich for the price.
Yes and No.......2007-12-14
I like the design and it works well with my Ipod. I just cannot believe that you can't adjust the volume when using the alarm. How bizarre! How many other alarm clocks have that problem? And the display (at dim) is still too bright. I have always thought of Phillips being a quality brand and I am really surprised to find these problems with the unit. I am unfortunately tempted to return it.
Compatible w/ the new Nano?.......2007-12-12
Does anyone know if this model it compatible with the new iPod Nano 4 gig?
great for office use.......2007-12-07
I bought this to listen to in my cubicle and it's great! It plays well at a low level and has good sound especially when playing my ipod. It has an antenna attached also which is something I need to get good radio reception in my office building. Overall, a great buy.

Customer Reviews:
Just what I was hoping for.......2007-08-24
I'm impressed with this little thing. The case is well-made and has a very solid feel. The Nano fits perfectly into the skin and into the MiniBlaster. I didn't have difficulties with the fit like others mentioned. Getting the Nano out takes some pushing, but that's the way it should be. You don't want it falling out on it's own and hitting the pavement. All the Nano controls are accessible. The front, circular control (volume/scroll) works fine through a silicon skin and is very protected.
The reason we buy this thing is for sound and size. Size and weight are impressively minimal. You won't beat that anywhere. As for sound, it's not a home entertainment center or a Bose IPod system - it's a tiny little device that offers maximum portability. If you can bring your Bose system along with you, then do it. If you need something small and more portable, then read on.
The sound has a distinct clarity. Mids to highs are crisp and well separated. What you loose is bass. It's attenuated, but not dull or muddy. I wasn't expecting strong bass with a frequency response of 450Hz to 20KHz. It's not built for it and shouldn't be expected.
It's made, as others have said, for you and a couple of friends in an environment without too much ambient noise. If you are looking for a system that you can play at a beech party with a big group of friends, keep looking, because this isn't it. Too many voices chatting away will drown this little thing out.
In a reasonably quiet room or out on the trail, you get enough volume to really enjoy the music. It's loud enough to hear the detail in the sound. It even gets too loud for conversations and has to be turned down. Don't get me wrong, the neighbors won't be calling or stomping on the floor. It has what it needs to fill the niche that it's designed for.
I personally like the sound with the EQ set to "Small Speakers" - seems like a good balance for Classic Rock which I tend to listen to the most.
If you want a small, light and very portable speaker system to free you from headphones and make portable music a social experience between friends again, then you are onto something.
Enjoy!
Great for use while traveling.......2007-08-11
I wanted to be able to listen to podcasts and my own music while commuting and so first purchased (for $80) an FM converter that plugged into the lighter and my iPod and then matched an unused frequency to play what was on the iPod. The sound wasn't great and it changed depending on where I was driving. I spent a lot of time trying to find the right static frequency and match it with the device. In the short time that I tried it out I had to switch frequencies twice.
So, I looked for a speaker. I decided that it wouldn't be a disaster to buy something at this price to try even if it didn't work great. It was what I was looking for! I can use it in the car and also other places where I want to play what is on my ipod so that others can hear. It is not great sound quality, but it is much better than what I was getting with the FM converter and much easier. I can either use batteries or the AC adaptor (I already have a device that converts the cigarette lighter into AC power).
It is a great solution for what I was looking for.
Good Product.......2007-07-26
I recommend this product over similar products that are outrageously expensive. Powerful sound for it's size and easy to use. Great value.
Wow, under 15 bucks including shipping!.......2007-07-04
Don't expect too much bass out of -any- tiny speakers but as a way to turn your nano into a sort of 21st century "transistor radio" equivalent with stereo audio and a better sound quality, this little thing is superb. Talk radio podcasts are delivered very clearly and music can be enjoyed to an extent especially if you choose an appropriate EQ setting on your nano. Volume capability is decent, just don't expect to entertain an audience bigger than about two or three. Battery life is good for the 4x AAA batteries.
JLab Audio.......2007-06-08
The sound is good from the Miniblaster, but getting my Ipod in and out of it is a real chore!! It is very difficult to do. It not only is very hard to place in the miniblaster, but getting it out is even worse. I like the size of it as it doesn't take up a lot of room when I place it on the counter. Just difficult to use. It is also hard to adjust the volume with the "skin" on it.

Works Great - but expensive.......2007-03-08
It works great with my iHome. But I feel it is a bit expensive.
Great Idea!.......2007-02-23
I love my iHome remote, but it doesn't always work the way I would like it to. To make the iHome recieve the signal of the remote, you have to point it directly at the iHome. My iHome is on a shelf pretty far up, and when I'm sitting in my chair it is pretty hard to get that remote aimed just right. I haven't replace my battery, I just use the one that came with it, so maybe it could work better. However, I know a few people who have the same problem as I do. Basically, it's a great accessory but it isn't a miracle.
a nescessary accesory.......2006-12-06
For those of you with ihomes that you have sitting far away from your bedside or other central point in a room, this is a much-needed accessory. Though it should definitely be included with the standard ihome package, and it is pricy considering it is not included, it still greatly increases the versatility of the ihome. button placement is questionable (on the top there is power and play/pause then underneath it is forward/back AND THEN there is volume.), but the ability to change the song, volume, radio, and light settings make it worthwhile.
i Home remote control.......2006-09-08
This device makes it easy to use the i pod from any point in the room. Very handy!!

Great sound quality for such a tiny package.......2007-11-05
I bought the miniblaster portable speaker in December 2006. I was amazed at the quality of the sound for such tiny speakers. Now, almost one year later, the speakers are still going strong. If you are looking for good quality pocket size speakers, these are a good choice.
A Great iPod Speaker........2007-08-08

STOP THINKING AND BUY IT.......2007-07-28
Best bang for the buck...i read all the reviews. just buy it. you can't beat $15 shipped. it gets the job done.
Excellent Company.......2007-06-11
My 11 year old daughter saved her $$ and did some on line research and ended up buying these. She loved them for the size which allowed her to take them into bed, on the bus etc. The audio in my opinion was "OK", but she was very happy.
We had bought them along with their noise reducing ear buds which I use while traveling in planes. I can wear them x- country very comfortably
Unfortunately we had technical problems and contacted JBL. I happened to email them on a Sunday afternoon and in about 15 minutes a real person (Josh) responded. A real person.... on a Sunday!!
He resolved the issue- which ultimately required a warranty replacement.
I cannot say enough good things about this company and Josh. I woudl buy their products again without hesitation
What a disappointment........2007-05-26
On my first foray into looking for the perfect mini speaker for my Ipod, I bought the Aiptek Mist for Nano (not realizing it only works with Gen 2 Nano)---boy, was it a cute little thing. Disappointed they don't make that product for Gen 1 Nanos, I searched Amazon for the perfect replacement mini speaker that would work with my Nano Gen 1. The JLab Miniblaster had 4 stars. Folks, speak up, because I cannot be the only one who was shocked by the low quality of this product!!
*When I first plugged it in, you couldn't hear anything because of interference from my TV remote!
*When I finally heard sound it was fuzzy at best and never got much better
*The volume level is only a smidgen better than what I can hear through my earbuds when they are out of my ears!
I read and re-read the direction and am convinced I did everything properly. I even tried it with battery power only, in the house, out of the house. No luck. This is a lousy product and I am giving it one star. This is being shipped back today.

AM/FM clock radio with built-in iPod dock * for all docking iPods, including video iPods, iPod photos, iPod nanos, and iPod minis * two 2-1/2" full-range speakers plus two 4" subwoofers * auxiliary input (stereo RCA) * headphone jack * composite video output *
Amazon.com Product Description
The Sharp i-Elegance line of docking speaker systems turns your personal iPod into a stereo jukebox for all your friends and family to enjoy. Compatible with every iPod that incorporates a 30-pin dock connector, the system plays and charges your iPod simultaneously, making it easy to enjoy your favorite tunes whether lounging on the patio or cooking in the kitchen. The i-Elegance is equipped with a pair of front-firing, full-range speakers and two side-firing subwoofers, which combine to produce crisp, crystal-clear highs and mids and a deep, powerful bass performance. Adding to the audio versatility is a six-step electronic equalizer that customizes the sound based on the music genre, along with an E-sound mode that improves the quality of compressed digital sound. The latter feature is great for digital music formats, as it reverses the deterioration that results from compression technologies by enhancing the sound frequency spectrum and increasing the sound pressure.
The i-Elegance also includes a digital AM/FM tuner that picks up all your favorite stations, with 32 station presets for quick and efficient tuning. The built-in alarm, meanwhile, lets you wake to your favorite iPod selections or a buzzing alarm (other alarm options include a sleep timer and a programmed shutoff mode). And users will love the system's compact remote control, which lets them control all the functions of the i-Elegance from across the room. Additional details include an RCA video output jack for connecting the system to a TV or monitor, an auxiliary input for connecting an MP3 player or personal CD player, and an easy-to-read fluorescent display.
The i-Elegance system measures 15.75 by 5.75 by 9.88 inches (W x H x D), weighs 9.5 pounds, and is backed by a one-year warranty.

Sharp DKA1 i-Elegance Music System for iPod.......2007-09-13
I listened to a lot of docking stations before settling on this one. I started with the one I thought would have no peers - the big "B" brand speaker. As I moved along in my search, the Sharp DKA1 had the bass sound that came closest to the big brand name docking station. Most other copycat brands sounded tinny. In addition to the DKA1 having rich, deep tones to complement the highs and mid-range sound, it has a built-in clock and an AM/FM radio with 40 presets. And the price for all of this is much less than the big brand item. It's the most bang-for-the-buck of any docking station available today based on my comparison with nearly 20 competitive products.
Good bang for the buck.......2007-08-21
The Sharp DK-A1 is a solid choice if looking for a way to play your I-pod externally. The positives include: very good sound. My sister has the Bose sound system for her I-pod which costs over twice as much from what I paid, but does not sound any better. The Sharp casts very deep, full sound, with lots of base for such a small unit. The E-sound button magnifies the bass nicely, but will become distorted, if the sound is too loud with it on. The illuminated blue lights are a nice touch and look great at night. The general design is nicely laid out. The negatives are: Limited range with the remote. I can only use the remote if I am within 6 ft of the console. In addition I am unable to change the play lists from the remote. It will only control the sound level and allow you to change the songs from the same play lists. I would have liked if this system had a handle to carry it from room to room and had a built in antenna, rather than the external wires which are a nuance to disconnect and reconnect when moving the system. The display panel in the front of the unit only says I-pod when the I-pod is in use, rather than display the artist and song playing. You need to look at the display of the I-pod to get this information which isn't nearly as visible as the display on the unit. Also, the AM radio only gets adequate reception. In general, I do recommend the Sharp DK-A1 as it does deliver very good sound at an affordable price but wish it had better thought out features.

Customer Reviews:
Pretty good!.......2007-06-15
This product is very good. It has excellent sound quality and full functionality.
However, the manufacturers don't speak English very well or they were sloppy with the instructions, so they are slightly confusing but still understandable.
Also, whether the unit is off or on, it makes a slight hissing/static noise. It is barely noticable unless you put your ear next to the speaker, so it wouldn't stop you from falling asleep or anything like that.
Again, great sound quality. I get all the highs and lows. Great subwoofer.
The FM radio doesn't pick up all the stations, but it still plays stations that it can detect very well.

Cheap but functional.......2007-05-09
The alarm clock has the functions needed to wake you up. The sound quality is marginal and tuner is rather sensitve. However, it is reasonable for the price. It is not high end, but it is functional.
Easy to use, performs well, but the display is somewhat dim.......2007-03-06
This clock is average in almost every way. It has an average alarm, an average radio, and average user controls. The only problem I have with it is that I was hoping for a much brighter display, and sadly this one is medium-to-dim on the brightness scale. If, however, you're looking for a basic and reliable clock with standard features, this is your guy. I suspect one could get a similar product for one or two dollars cheaper, but I recommend this one in any case. It's a solid, average clock.
