There are many GREATS to mention about this iHome Bluetooth Clock. It's great to find something on my nightstand without using a lamp. It doesn't interrupt my sleep at night due to the light being too bright. It makes it so much easier to have my phone charging near my bed without buying extra adapters. You can select the color you want or changing lights and choose from bright, medium or low dim. It doesn't self set, but setting the time and Bluetooth is pretty easy. I ended up purchasing something that wasn't on my list, but VERY HAPPY I DID! I'm sure you will too. This iHome clock has the best radio and speakers. It saved time from setting when the power was out, but the radio was terrible. I tried her iPod on it again and it wouldn't play out of the iHome speakers. Then I tried the radio and it didn't work. ![]() She finally got it and it started playing. My friend tried to put her iPod Nano 5th generation and she couldn't get it at first. The Bluetooth speaker is the BEST! I haven't felt this way about a clock since I brought my auto setting years ago. So I have the iHome iP9 and it was working perfectly last night. As for me, I fell in love when I learned it can be use to charge my Android phone and tablet. The color option was great to use as a night light. With this clock he's able to charge his 6 Plus phone, Ipad and other devices. Others were designed to only charge iphone 5 and 6 standard size. I ordered this IHome clock for my son to use with his iphone. And you can set each button to do one thing with a short press, and another with a long press.The AWESOME Clock with EXCELLENT Sound!!!! ![]() Alexa and Smart Controls: LimitedĮach of the iHome's smart buttons can be programmed to start playing music, activate an Alexa-enabled smart home device and change the color on the iHome speaker a single press of the button can do all three at once, if you so choose. Yes, iHeartRadio has a ton of stations, but if the internet connection goes out, there's no way to get traffic and weather through the iHome. The one thing that's missing? An actual AM/FM radio. Most clock radios aren't known for their audio prowess, but the iHome pleasantly breaks the stereotype with strong, powerful sound. (For the latter, a premium account is required.) However, even if you tell Alexa to play music, you can still use the iHome's buttons to control playback. It's a lot more than I expected from a bedside speaker.įrom within the iHome app, you can play your own music, or stream from iHeartRadio and Spotify. The subtle inflections of Miles Davis' trumpet in "Bye Bye Blackbird" came through cleanly, while John Coltrane's glissandos up and down his sax were nearly as impressive I could have gone for a bit more treble, though.įrom then on, I was greatly pleased with what I heard from the iHome. Boosting the latter fixed the muddiness and made the vocals a lot clearer. Thankfully, there are basic but effective equalizer settings in the iHome app: one for bass, and one for treble. When I first played "Brandy," by Looking Glass, the song sounded a bit muddy. The speaker delivers plenty of bass, and it can get pretty loud without distorting the sound, too. Acoustically, I would say the iHome is on a par with the Echo Show. Music and Audio Quality: Surprisingly good It's something that's been a long time coming, and while it's welcome, it could still use some tweaking. ![]() If you are in that position, then this is the video for you. The feature of the iHome that most drew my attention is that you can set an alarm using Alexa but then use the iHome's physical buttons to snooze or turn off the alarm. The alarm on your Ihome clock might be going off and you dont know how to stop it from waking you up. A third button controls play/pause for music, and the last button changes the lighting mode of the LED on the bottom of the speaker.Īround the back is the power plug and a 2.1-amp USB port for charging your smartphone or tablet. Two can be set to control audio, iHome smart plugs and the color on the bottom of the speaker. On the left side of the speaker are four more buttons: Bluetooth, Phone call/answer, Alexa mute, and Sleep this latter button lets you create a scene for when you want to shut your eyes you can tell the speaker to play music or adjust your lights for a set period of time before shutting everything off. In the middle is a circular Alexa button, surrounded by four music control buttons: two for volume (up and down), and two for advance/back. The top of the iAVS16 has a huge array of buttons.
