XtremeMac Luna Voyager for iPhone/iPod - Black Review

XtremeMac Luna Voyager for iPhone/iPod - BlackI bought this unit for my son for Christmas for use with his Ipod Nano 5G.According to the Apple website, these two products are compatible.However, when my 10-year old plugged it in with much excitement on Christmas morning, the unit did not work.After multiple attempts to call XtremeMac (aka Memorex), their phone lines were too busy to put my call in the queue, and I had to keep calling back.This was my first clue that this was not going to have a happy ending.... I finally contacted a real person, who promptly hung up on me.I called back again only to be disconnected, again.On the third attempt, I talked to a real person who told me that my problem was that the unit was not compatible with the Nano 5G! The hot Nano currently being sold by Apple.What! Since there is actually nothing wrong with the unit, I am not able to return it.The extremely polite Indian man informed me that this was my problem, not his.He does have a very good point.However, I did wish him good luck in getting a new job when his current employer went out of business due to poor customer service.The bottom line is do not buy any product made by XtremeMac.

Gpx CI109BU ALARM CLOCK IPOD DOCKAM/FM ROUND SHAPE BLUE Review

Gpx CI109BU ALARM CLOCK IPOD DOCKAM/FM ROUND SHAPE BLUEThere are better products out there. I bought this for my son for his birthday. The overall appearance is great. The color matches nicely with his blue nano. When listening to the radio it sounds great. But when listening to the ipod you have to turn it way up to hear anything over the static. If you like listening to your music really loud I guess that that is fine. My son, however, uses it to listen to instrumental music while he sleeps and loud just kind of defeats the purpose.

Curtis IP215 Alarm Clock Radio/iPod Docking Station Review

Curtis IP215 Alarm Clock Radio/iPod Docking StationI've had this iPod docking station for a couple of years, and it's probably one of the best purchases I've made. I don't know why people buy bargain speakers and expect theatre quality sound, but they do. Don't make that mistake with this unit. It will pump up the volume (exactly what I need!) but this is not a surround sound Dolby THX'ed Wonderdock. It's a clock radio with a place to dock your iPod so that you can play it and charge it at the same time.

I frequently move this between a couple of rooms, and I've dropped it more than once. I've also spilled stuff on it, and it works the same as it did when I took it out of the box the day I bought it. I don't use the clock or alarm, so I can't really comment on how well that functions, but the buttons appear to be pretty straightforward and easy to understand if I wanted to start. I occasionally listen to a local radio station on it, and I have no issues with reception.

There's a place in the bottom for a couple of AAA batteries in case of a power outage, and in the back there are in & out aux outlets, along with a "video out" port. I've never used the ports, but it does appear to be a versatile dock. There's also a switch in the back to turn doiwn the brightness of the clock display. The display is VERY bright at night and could double as a night light. I find the brightness disturbing to my sleep even at the low setting and stuck a label over it since I don't use the clock portion anyway.

The design is very sleek and modern looking, sure to go well with most decor, and it looks nice on a dresser (if you haven't spilled something on it like I have!). For the durability, sound quality, volume output, and apparent multi-functionality, I don't think there's a lot out there that can surpass this iPod dock. It's an excellent little workhorse for someone like me who plays their iPod 24/7, needs the volume output and is a little bit clumsy. I think overall it will please most users.

iMode Dock Clock Radio made for iPod, iPod Video, Nano and Mini (Black) Review

iMode Dock Clock Radio made for iPod, iPod Video, Nano and MiniI 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.

IPod IRise - AM/FM Radio And Alarm Clock Review

IPod IRise - AM/FM Radio And Alarm ClockThis thing has constant hum coming from the speakers, even when connected to an iPod nano. At high volume its poor quality shows well, with plenty of distortion and clipping. Clock and alarm are hard to setup. It doesn't control your iPod sound, which is annoying because you have to press the buttoms in the ipod in a incovenient position when docked.
Not worth the price charged in any way.

iHome T435B Xtra Loud Dual Alarm Clock Blk Review

iHome T435B Xtra Loud Dual Alarm Clock BlkThis product was/is kind of misrepresented, and not only on this website. It is not a true iHome.It would not take my niece's iPod, and it is not a docking station.We purchased from computer brain, explained the situation, and they gave us our purchase price and shipping back.We thought this was a class act and would purchase from them again if they were to sell a product we are interested in.

I don't know how to rate it but Timex has been around awhile and it looks like a good product.

Dual Dock Alarm Clock Review

Dual Dock Alarm ClockThis is my second iHome, the first was a single dock that worked for about 6 months and then the volume and tuner knobs stopped working. Luckily we saved the remote or this would be in the trash. My new, 2 month old, iHome (dual dock) is still working, but two of the lit buttons do not light anymore (see the importance of this in next paragraph). Both units have decent sound quality and options. There are multiple alarms which are helpful.

As far as the design of the dual dock iHome goes, I wish iHome would figure out a few things. For one, the buttons are all flush with the body, so it is impossible to set, reset etc, the alarm without turning the lights on or upping the light control on the iHome (since the lit buttons aren't lighting anymore, bedroom lights must come on). Oh yeah that - when you press the snooze bar, the iHome lights toggle through the different brightness settings. This seems like a good idea, and it is totally necessary since even at the lowest setting it lights up my whole room. The bad part of this design is that to sleep, the iHome lights have to be off (unless you like a lit room) and because of that you can't read the time.

iHome must use the cheapest switches that they can find because both iHomes that I have had switch problems within a few months. they have the best sound for the price, as well as options. I wouldn't buy one without a waranty (include that in the purchase price for comparison).

Homedics SS-6510 SoundSpa Fusion AM/FM Alarm Clock Radio with iPOD Docking Station, 6 Natural Sounds and LCD Display Review

Homedics SS-6510 SoundSpa Fusion AM/FM Alarm Clock Radio with iPOD Docking Station, 6 Natural Sounds and LCD DisplayI needed a replacement for my iHome iPod alarm clock which gave up the ghost after two years and stopped recognizing my iPod.Rather than drop $100 for 2 years again, I decided to try this partly because it was small and because it seemed simple, both of which ended up being true.Overall, it does everything it's supposed to and has two big benefits - 2 alarms that can be set separately or simultaneously and those soothing new age-y sounds.The negatives - it takes a few tries to figure out the best way to set the alarm (especially if you're a snooze button addict like me) and the display light is annoying as it only comes in off, super bright and oh my God I'm blind!This is a big difference from the iHome clock which had a very light display light that was perfect for falling asleep.Otherwise, it's a better, more compact product for a great price.

iMode Alarm Clock Radio iPod Docking Station (Black) Review

iMode Alarm Clock Radio iPod Docking StationI was so excited to receive my iMode from my wife for Christmas 2008. All the main features seemed to work -- AM/FM Radio, iPod, Alarm Clock x 2 -- except the remote control. It comes with a battery. Since it didn't worked, I assumed it was drained and I replaced it with a new battery. It still didn't work. This was disappointing, because this was not a simple on/off remote. This remote allowed the user to complete EVERY function that can be done on the console of the iMode itself. This is a rare completely inclusive remote for the price.

I called the maker of iMode for a replacement remote since the product is under warranty. I was told to exchange it at the store for a new one (makes sense). I asked what to do if the store didn't have it, and Curtis told me to call them back for a remote. The store was indeed sold out of them, and was not planning on restocking after the holiday (holiday promotion). I called iMode maker back as requested. They told me that I must return it to the store, that the store must call iMode maker to explain that they sold a product with faulty remote, Curtis would then send the new remote to the store where I could pick it up. After all this above action taken, iMode maker told the store that the customer must request the remote under the warranty. I'm done...I left the iMode at the store and requested a full refund. I'm sad to write this review, since the product is potentially great (especially for the bang for the buck), but the low quality of the product and the low quality of the customer service and return policy/protocol, left me with the feeling of iMust Return My iMode.

iMode Alarm Clock Radio iPod Docking Station (White) Review

iMode Alarm Clock Radio iPod Docking StationMy daughter loves this clock radio. I don't like the fact that it does not charge her Ipod. Charging was a very important part of our decision to buy this product. The information in the ad stated that it was compatible with all IPODS. When we put the Ipod on the clock radio it says the it does not charge this Ipod! That was very frustrating. I called the manufacturer and they told me it doesn't charge the 5th generation Ipod!

Rca Rc59I Clock Radio with Ipod Dock Review

Rca Rc59I Clock Radio with Ipod DockI saw this for sale at a local store, so I thought I would do some digging for information. Unfortunately, there is almost zero. It doesn't say it anywhere online or on the box, but this will indeed charge your iPhone 3G. It's possible that they did not want to pay for licensing. Since it will charge the 3G, it should charge all of the new non-firewire iPods (Nano 5G, etc).

It's nice and compact, but certainly sturdy. Once you take a leaf through the instruction manual, it's very easy to use. Not one of those things I recommend to start pushing buttons feet-first, because you'll probably be woken up at 2:30am by accident.

What else can I say about it? It charges my iPhone, plays pretty well (a 5.1 system this isn't), has an aux-in for a Zune, etc, has dual-alarms with 3-4 different options each. If you're looking for a cheap replacement for your firewire-charging alarm clock, this is a good choice.
