IHOME BONGIOVI DPS ACOUSTICS IP1BLUETOOTH BLUETOOTH
Alas, the alarm set buttons are on the back of the unit along with the Bluetooth pairing button. It also has dual alarms along with snooze and sleep features (you can set the unit to turn off after 15, 30, 60, 90, or 120 minutes). The iA100 has an FM radio (sorry, no AM) with six presets. The same can be said for an iPhone or iPod Touch (it supports docking of virtually all iPods) and it's worth pointing out that if you have a bulkier iPhone case, you shouldn't have any trouble docking your unit, which is a plus. It's not a huge amount of support, but when the end of Apple's universal connector goes into the port on your iPad, your device ends up being locked in place pretty securely. The support system is pretty simple a small, rubber-covered bar keeps the iPad standing at a slight angle. In fact, it has just about everything you'd want in a tabletop iPod/iPhone/iPad stereo.įor starters, you can dock and charge your iPad.

It measures in at a compact 3.21 inches tall by 6.66 inches wide by 11.1 inches deep.Īs we said, the iA100 scores high in the features department. The unit itself feels fairly solid at 3.3 pounds, and overall, the design and build quality is a step up from iHome's $99 tabletop units. It's got a matte-black finish on top and a rubberized "insert" to help cushion the bottom edge of your iPad when docked. In terms of design, the iA100 looks pretty nice. That doesn't mean the sound is all that terrific, but it is better than what you'll find in step-down models such as the $100 iP90. Not only does it pretty much throw in the kitchen sink in terms of features, but it also offers a higher level of sound quality (this is part of the company's "studio series" that's stamped with Bongiovi Acoustics brand). At $200 list, the unit-it's effectively an oversize clock radio with an Apple dock on the top-is among the company's most expensive products. The iHome iP1 has had no major recalls and has received favorable reviews.For starters, it's iHome's first product that's intended to work as a speaker dock for the iPad (though it also works with iPods and iPhones). An aux-in jack and component and composite output ports are also located on the back of the iHome iP1. Directly above the dock, there is a small black bumper knob on which the docked iPhone/iPod can rest. The iPhone/iPod dock is on the center of the faceplate and has four small command buttons. The iHome logo is located on the lower left-hand corner of the faceplate, and the Bongiovi DPS Acoustics logo is located on the lower right-hand corner of the faceplate. The entire device is black with a transparent black-tinted faceplate.

It also has a 30-pin iPhone/iPod connector and uses Bongiovi Acoustics Digital Power Station speaker technology, which allows the iHome iP1 to improve its audio quality without needing larger speakers.

This iHome speaker system is equipped with two 4” honeycomb woofers and two 1” dome tweeters on the top corners of the faceplate. The iHome iP1 was released in July 2009, as the first iHome speaker system meant to be a complete home audio set.
