Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
The Emerson iTone iP550BK portable stereo system is a compact, portable device that lets you dock and charge any "dockable" iPod (as of January 2006) and play it through the built-in speakers. Because your iPod connects directly to the front- mounted docking system, this system is ideal for when you want to share your music with others, or for those times when listening through your earbuds is simply not an option. This system also features a digital clock and AM/FM tuner with a full-function remote control. And thanks to a couple of connection extras--a USB connector and an auxiliary input--you can connect both newer non-docking iPods, such as the iPod shuffle, and older first-generation iPods, MP3 players, and personal CD players.
It's a breeze to customize the iTone iP550BK according to your personal preferences. The digital turner automatically scans the AM and FM bands and locks in stations perfectly with no repetitive fine tuning required. You can also save 20 of your favorite stations (10 AM and 10 FM) in the preset memory tuner for immediate recall at the touch of a button. The digital clock, meanwhile, lets you fall asleep and wake up to the radio or your iPod, while the full-function remote control makes for extremely convenient operation. And if you need a little extra sleep, simply press the snooze button to enjoy an additional ten minutes.
Other details include a sleek black housing; an illuminated, unified LCD display; a powerful amplifier and heavy-duty, wide-ranging 2.5-inch speakers; an integrated bass boost; easy-to-use pushbutton controls for the band and function selection; and a stereo headphone jack. The iTone iP550BK, which runs on either eight C-size batteries (not included) or AC power, measures 11.8 by 5.5 by 6.5 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a 90-day warranty.

Whoo Hoo!,

This review is from: Emerson iTone iP550BK Portable Stereo System for iPods (Black) (Electronics)
Well sometimes the one you least expect and the one most likely overlooked, comes up with a winner! Emerson really surpised me. I was going to buy a Logitech MM50 but when I put them side by side, Emerson iTone iP550 won out. The Logitech had deep sound but reverberated badly. I was surpised at the clarity and pretty good bass on this model. As a matter of fact, when I put it at its height, it retained a great sound without jumping off the counter. Now, get this, what was most suprising was its cost. It was literally more than $70 cheaper than the more popular Logitech!! Okay, it doesn't have the accessories, i.e., carry bag and ultra slimness in design, but its got everything else and more: radio, preset stations, clock, sleep button, digital remote, along with stuff you would expect in the big names. And its cute too! For what you get and for the money you pay, you can't beat it. AND, if you really tell the truth, the only difference in this little guy and those "speaker-only" types, it admits to being a boom box rather than just "stereo speakers." Maybe that's why they are trying to charge more for giving you less!

Disappointing,

This review is from: Emerson iTone iP550BK Portable Stereo System for iPods (Black) (Electronics)
I purchased this product based on the two reviews listed. I guess we all have different expectations of what quality sound is. Virtually no bass and at times gets tinny. I bought it for my wife for Valentine's Day to replace her older Phillips CD boom box in the bathroom. The sound does not compare. The old Phillips sounds much better. If you buy this expecting "big sound" out of a small package, you will be disappointed. If you just want something to hook your iPod up to, it works.

I was more than please at the sound output of this!! It almost sounds like a full size stereo. I may very likely be buying another one!
