Protective carrying case.

Full-function remote included.

Charge and Play Your iPod Anywhere
Play back your favorite tunes at home or while traveling with the iH27. While your iPod is docked, it receives a charge (when on on AC power), so when you're ready to go, so is your iPod.

The iH27 power adaptor is able to handle input voltage from 100 to 240VA, so it'll work overseas with the right plug adapters, and because the iH27 is powered by either AC or four AA batteries (not included), you can enjoy music with or without an outlet. A handy carrying case is also included to keep the device safe and sound while in transit, whether it's a business trip or a barbeque.

Sleep or Wake to Your iPod
The iH27 lets you wake to your docked iPod (or the buzzer alarm for you masochists). A gradual alarm feature gently raises the alarm volume, so as not to jar you out of sleep. You can also dim the display, with high, medium, low, and off settings.

The iH27 also has a sure alarm feature so the buzzer alarm will still sound in the event of power failure, if backup battery is installed.

And of course, there's a snooze button for grabbing a few more minutes of slumber, and a sleep mode for falling asleep to your favorite tunes or podcasts.

Big Sound in a Small Package
iHome's Reson8 technology, with through-body ported speaker chambers, gives the iH27's four speakers better response characteristics for superior stereo sound. In addition, SRS WOW technology is designed to provide a broader audio image with enhanced low range and mid range sound reproduction, in order to bring added life to compressed MP3 files.

Auxiliary Input and A/V Output
Use the iH27's auxiliary input to connect external devices such as MP3 or CD players. You can also send the audio and/or video from the dock's A/V out to a television or stereo, for enjoying your iPod content on a larger scale.

Remote Included
A full-function remote control is also included.

What's in the Box
iH27 Main Unit, AC Adapter, iPod Dock Inserts, Auxiliary Cable, User's Manual

5.0 out of 5 stars rich sound!, January 12, 2008

By	Michael L. Fluharty "egghead" (northern Kentucky) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

this is an excellant investment! i was a bit tired of using my head phones and needed an alternative. along came ihome and i am at home with my ipod! when i got it i wasnt expecting much because of the small size but boy was i suprised! the sounds are deep and the midranges and treble does not overpower it as i had expexted it to sound like a speaker in a soupcan or something. the sounds are clear and the fidelity is rich and almost like one of the more expensive docks. the base does not sound like the speaker is farting. it is all around an excelent investment and i am glad i got oneIH27B Port Alarm for IpodSdi IH27B Port Alarm For Ipod (SDI IH27B)!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Quality Portable Sound, May 26, 2008

By	M. Downing - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Our ihome 2go iH27 sits next to our daughter's Altec Lansing im600. The sound on the im600 is a little richer, and if you need FM, then the im600 is probably for you. The ih27 does provide an alarm function with the ipod off (something the im600 can't do). The iH27 comes with a handy cushioned travel case, something the im600 lacks. The im600 comes with a remote. Our iH27 didn't come with a remote (can be ordered separately). Overall, the iH27 is probably a better system for travel (ours is headed for Europe).
Oh yeah - we had to take our first iH27 back when it quit working after 20 minutes. The store (Bed, Bath, and Beyond) was happy to exchange it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Alarm Function a Deal Breaker, December 2, 2008

By	Ken Lecomte - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I can't imagine what they were thinking when they designed this thing.
Here's the problem. If you have an ipod in the unit you cannot wake up to the buzzer, only the ipod. If you go to sleep with the ipod on, playing some mellow music at low volume, this is what you will hear for your morning alarm. It's not going to wake you. You cannot use the buzzer for an alarm unless you take the ipod out. What's the point of having it?
Mine is going back.
