iSymphony V1BLUE Bluetooth Stereo System with Wireless Universal Dock for iPod (Black) Review

iSymphony V1BLUE Bluetooth Stereo System with Wireless Universal Dock for iPod (Black)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Received this as a gift. Seems to have many neat and user friendly gadgets. The synching of the ipod to the main unit via blue-tooth technology is neat, but frankly not needed as you still need power cords, etc for each unit.
What I discovered as I turned it on is the sound was TERRIBLE. On the packaging it states 200watts, however, the amp pushes 45 watts max. Oh and... the speakers are two 1/2 inch tweeters, 2 1 and 1/2 inch mids and a non-existant sub.
Having neat packaging, blue-tooth capabilities and a head unit that magically slides to the right so you can load a CD is great but when the sound quality is like any other made-in-china gadget, I must say pass. Don't make the mistake of buying this piece of garbage.

Insignia Infocast NS-DP3CH - Digital photo frame - 3.5" - 320 x 240 Review

I picked this one up at Best Buy for $40. I am discovering all kinds of internet stations I didn't even know existed. Easy set up..as long as you have a wireless router it will work. The infocast features iheartradio which features many Clear Channel stations. Nice display...you can search by city and format. It also allows you to select favorites and play on shuffle.
The Shoutcast section features hundreds,maybe thousands of internet stations. You go to the search engine,type in the web address or say, oldies, and 25 stations matching that category will show up. The only hassle is there is no place to save favorites,and that can be quite cumbersome.
When you set this up with your computer it will give you a choice of over 1000 apps, like The New York Times,People,Entertainment Weekly and a lot of CBS stuff including stories on their evening news, 60 minutes pieces and the monologues from David Letterman and Craig Ferguson.
Theres a lot of stuff packed in this unit and it is so nice to hear Internet stations that cater to my tastes..a wide variety of oldies from the 50s through the 70s..stuff you can't find on terrestrial or satellite radio. I'll probably upgrade to a more complex model with station favorites eventually,but for $40 I found a gem here and I've been using it constantly.
You might want to check out Best Buy. Last I looked it was going for $50..still quite a deal.

I purchased this item for my husband as a gift since he had just bought a new iphone 4. Needless to say I am finding out now that this alarm system is not compatible with the iphone 4 version which causes the alarm system to freeze. I looked over the info from Amazon and still do not see anything saying the item doesn't work for the newest iphone.

Jensen Jims-120-W Docking Digital Music System For Ipod Review

Jensen Jims-120-W Docking Digital Music System For Ipod
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this docking station with the understanding (as indicated in the description) that it would recharge an iPod Nano. But it won't recharge any new iPods (meaning anything produced within the past 12 or 14 months). The manual clearly states that it will charge iPod Nanos if the software is up to date, but this is not true. I telephoned the company that distributes it ([...]) and was told that there was a misprint in their manual and that there was nothing I could do about it. Amazon would not take it back because they do not themselves sell the product, and Spectra would not because 30 days had elapsed since I bought it (because it was a Christmas present for someone else and we did not realize its failings until January). If you have an old iPod that you have not upgraded, buy this, but otherwise do not.

DreamGear i.Sound Time Travel iPod Speaker System (White) Review

DreamGear i.Sound Time Travel iPod Speaker System (White)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
No support renders the unit useless.
My son got this for Christmas. It's cute, and the sound quality is fine (about what you'd expect from a small unit like this). The Time Travel is designed to work with iPods, of course. Since iPods come in many sizes, the Time Travel comes with "fitting brackets" that align the electrical slot at the bottom of the iPod with the male end at the top of the Time Travel. My son has a 8GB iPod nano, but the fitting bracket for nanos didn't align things properly! (Not even close.) He was upset and disappointed, but I told him not to worry -- that the solution would probably be as easy as calling iSound and asking for the bracket for his model iPod. After all, the box clearly says "for all iPod models." I went to their Web site and sent an email to the support email address. I didn't get a response after 3 days, so I called and got voice mail. I left a detailed message, and asked them to call me back. No one called back. Today I called again -- VM again -- and left another message. Does anyone actually work at iSound?
Selling this product without a properly sized bracket is bad. Providing no support is worse. If you buy this product you better cross your fingers and hope it comes with the correct parts.

TruTech Alarm Clock Speaker Station for iPod Review

TruTech Alarm Clock Speaker Station for iPod
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've had my alarm clock for a couple of years now (3 in December). It was also a Christmas present. Now, let me say first that the other reviewer is correct. I do wish I could dim the brightness of the clock display, but simply turning it towards the wall lessens the glare.
For such a small player, it's a little giant. I've never had any issues with the sound quality or the radio sound. It works just fine.
If you're looking for a great alarm clock that will play and charge your iPod, then this is a great purchase. I would gladly recommend this product to another person who was looking to get a decent radio clock without busting their bank account.

iMode Dock Clock Radio made for iPod, iPod Video, Nano and Mini (Black)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this item because it had a red digital readout so that it would not light up the entire bedroom. That was fine but after receiving the unit and trying it out, I discovered that the alarm does not work with the iPod. One must manually operate the iPod as the clock will not communicate with it. If I listen to my iPod before going to sleep then the alarm will go to iPod mode in the morning but it will not turn on the iPod. It is NOT an iPod alarm clock, it is merely an radio alarm clock through which one can play an iPod.

Panasonic RC-CD500 Dual-Alarm CD Clock Radio Review

Panasonic RC-CD500 Dual-Alarm CD Clock Radio
Average Reviews:

For being such a small device, it really does give nice sound. In fact, I popped in some obscure CD that had a recording of birds twirping to test it out, and my cat came running in the room. It's lightweight and compact, so if fits nicely on the stand. The numbers are much easier to read than you would think, judging from the picture here. The screen gives you all sorts of information as to what you have programmed, so when you wake up at 3:00 in the morning, wondering if you have programmed your alarm so you don't miss your flight, it's very easy to see whether or not your alarm is on and how you will wake up. The tuner picked up a station 60 miles away, too. The only thing I wish it had is a graduwake feature. But that's about it. It's easy to use. I had it all set up in less than four minutes. The doze alarm lasts for six minutes, and it's easy to find due to the good design. No worries about hitting the wrong button and shutting off your alarm.

With 20-preset memory (10 AM and 10 FM), the RC-CD500 dual-alarm CD clock radio gives great sound as well as keeping good time. A MASH 1-bit digital converter and XBS extra-bass augment this clock's dual alarms and Sure-Alarm battery backup system.

iLive IB209P Portable Music System with AM/FM Radio, iPod Docking and Recharging- Pink Review

iLive IB209P Portable Music System with AM/FM Radio, iPod Docking and Recharging- Pink
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this pink Ipod speaker system at Sears on clearance for $24.99.
The black system was $34.99. The pink is actually a pretty shade of dark pink (not as depicted here) and the design of this Ipod docking system is not too bad - even if it looks a little cheap - sort of like an updated am/fm radio from the 70's.
There are rotary dials for the volume and radio channels on the left and right side of the unit. The other push buttons are all located on the center part of the unit.
The sound is fair. You can choose to add extra bass or not. The volume is adequate for a small room - even a little too loud at full volume. The unit is portable and has a handle. It comes with a cord, so you don't need to use batteries for daily use.
I bought two of these and so far we've tested it with both an Iphone 3Gs and an Ipod Touch 32GB. There is some hissing as another reviewer noted, but it seemed to go away. I tried moving the radio dial and it seemed to help coincidentally. I will update this once I've tested it out more.
The sound is not spectacular, but if you can find this on sale for $25 or less, then it's a good deal.

iLuv i277BLK iPod Alarm Clock Audio System with Bluepin (Black) Review

iLuv i277BLK iPod Alarm Clock Audio System with Bluepin (Black)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is really a cool product. I was able to pair with my Mobile(HTC TyTN II), Headphone/Headset (Lubix) very easily. It got paired in the first try. The instructions are pretty clear in the manual. Music is good for the small size, Bass is less, naturally. Can't compare with Bose. The music from my Phone through the BluePin on this is really good. The Blupin Receiver was able to receive music till 15-20 feet clearly, after that it breaks. I was able to FF/RR/Stop, Adjust volume from my phone.
As a Bluetooth transmitter, it works great. I connected my TV Audio output to 277 using the line-in and change the mode to AUX with BluePin in TX mode and used a Lubix Bluetooth Head Phone/Set. The transmission was awesome.
Tested with iPod/iPhone and this works as stated. The snooze button in the front is good one. Even we can switch off the display using this. Radio works as stated. Weight less. Looks great. Has a remote but not senstive.
Actually I was searching for a Bluetooth Transmitter for my TV. The Sony and Motorola were quoted @ Amazon for $60. I thought it's pretty costly for the simple Bluetooth Transmitter of class 1. So searched the net and found this for same price. So now I have a Transmitter with multiple functionality.
So this is an All in one model.
Pros
1) Receiver for my Phone to listen music
2) Wireless Transmitter to my TV, so I can watch the TV without disturbing anybody using my Bluetooth head phone
3) Listening to iPod/Radio in Wireless mode with full control.
If you read the manual twice , it easy to understand everything.
Cons
1) The cons, I would say is that it's not Bluetooth2(has 300Ft of range) only Bluetooth1 (30 Ft range)
2) No Equalizer/Pre-set for music.
3) Remote can be made better.
===============================
Update - Nov 26th 2010
After 1 year of use, it is still working good. Bluetooth works fine. Audio quality is good. Like this product

Honeywell TE322ELW Long Range Weather Forecaster with Atomic Clock and Dual Alarm Review

Honeywell TE322ELW Long Range Weather Forecaster with Atomic Clock and Dual Alarm
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I was initially delighted with this product when I bought it six months ago. It looks very nice and functions well. The display is easy to read. The alarms work (though as another reviewer noted you don't get two alarms per day). The gentle back illumination works nicely to let you read the display at night. I haven't paid much attention to the weather display except for the temperature and humidity functions, so I won't comment on those. But I have a few comments worth recording.
First, the unit has two parts. The remote temperature/humidity sensor unit that you hang outdoors isn't shown in the product picture on Amazon. It's about half the size of a pack of cigarettes and it has its own small temperature/humidity display. This unit requires two AAA batteries. If the temperature outside will ever drop below freezing, even for just an hour or two, these must be expensive lithium batteries (8 Energizer Lithium AAA 1.5V High Energy Lithium e2 Battery. 2 X Card 4AAA for example). That's because normal alkaline and titanium batteries deliver less voltage at low temperature, whereas lithium batteries give much more uniform voltage output down to about -40 degrees. If the voltage supply to the outdoor sensor drops too much, it will lose synchronization with the indoor unit and you'll have to "connect" them again.
That brings me to why I think this device is too complicated. When the device is new, or whenever the outdoor unit loses its radio connection to the indoor unit, the two units must negotiate which radio channel they will use to communicate. That's a useful process, because it allows them to choose a radio frequency that has minimal interference from other nearby devices. However, the process for doing it is maddening complex. You must remove the batteries from both units, then insert the batteries in the remote unit, then use an unbent paper clip to press the reset switch on the outdoor unit, then bring the units close together and insert the batteries in the indoor unit. After a minute or so they negotiate a frequency and the temperature of the outdoor unit is displayed on the indoor unit. You can then move them apart.
But you're not done. Having removed the batteries from the indoor unit, you must reset the date, choose a time zone and a bunch of other settings, using a combination of button pushes that is too complex to remember: I printed it out in very small type and taped it to the back of the device so I would not have to find the instruction book each time.
Finally, the atomic clock, like all such devices, synchronizes to the broadcast signal from NIST during the early morning hours, typically midnight to 5 AM local time. That time is chosen because the radio signal is much easier to receive at night. To get my unit to synchronize I had to put it on a window sill; it could not receive a strong enough signal from my night stand. That requirement is typical for so-called "atomic" clocks and watches. Fortunately it only needs to synchronize once a month or so to keep good time.
All in all, I'm glad I bought this remote thermometer, and I'm willing to live with the restrictions noted above. But you should be aware before you buy that this is not a "set it and forget it" device.

This clock came out in Korea a little over a week ago. I bought it at my favorite Korean store to use in my bedroom. It(sony) is a great American brand I always try to find American things to put in my house. I got this one because i like Sony a lot. I have had a Sony clock beofer this and it lasted for many years. I just got it yesterday and i used it last night. Even though the shape seems a little wierd with the time being to the back of the clock it did not make a very big difference. I think I actually like it better the time being not right in your face, like most other clocks have their screen at the front of their machine. This is a wounderful clock my by one of the best American companies in the WHOLE WORLD.

The Sony ICF-C723's unique, high-tech design with function controls cleverly set in the base, stands apart from ordinary clock radios because it saves nightstand space, letting you place it almost anywhere. The synthesized tuner with PLL (Phase Locked Loop) provides the most accurate drift-free tuning of AM and FM radio stations. And the five random memory presets offer convenient one-button tuning of your choice of five favorite radio stations. A dual alarm permits you to set two separate wake-up times, especially useful for working couples. And the self-power back-up maintains clock and alarm settings in case of power failure. Leave yourself wake-up messages and personal reminders on the built-in IC chip to remind yourself of that day's business and other appointments. Message will be played at wake up time (before and after alarm) helping to ensure that your message has been noted.

This system is so cool. It plays your ipod and you can totally plug in a mic and sing along with all your fave Hannah Montanna songs. The sound quality is amazing. You can really get the party started by plugging in a guitar and jamming, this is a guitar amp on top of everything! The look is so cute with great little details on the knobs showing a mic or a guitar for that particular knob purpose. As soon as it came out of the box, I sang for like an hour. Also I got a really good deal, only 24.95 for this instead of the 69.99 amazon price. Get this deal fast, it really is too good to be true.
