4.0 out of 5 stars Good buy, June 25, 2008

By	Holly (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: iLuv i166 Audio System with Dual Alarm, LCD, and Dock for iPod (White) (Electronics)

Nice little stereo with alarm clock that lets you wake up to your Ipod and more importantly the specific song. Some just shuffle this one doesn't. There's a glow from the clock but not so bright that it really illuminates the room so you can't sleep. My only problem is that it's hard to read the time and I don't know if it's the blue background (which most of them have lately), that if the time could be darker against that background and it would be easier to see or my bad vision. I don't recall having this difficulty with previous clocks that had red against black. All in all I'm pretty happy with it. The remote is a nice feature although I don't really use it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Missing Basics/Bad Speakers, April 21, 2008

By	drew (Germany) - See all my reviews

The idea of this device is good but they failed on a few things which are very annoying when laying in bed listening to music. The first is when an ipod is docked and music is playing the blue backlight kicks into extra bright and there is no dimming option. It lights up the room like a small lamp. Secondly, at lower volumes like 3 or below you can hear speaker noise. I tried 3 ipods and I replaced the model once and the same thing occured. If it were not for those two annoyances I would have kept it.

At higher volumes the sound quality is pretty good and the remote works really well. I'd recommend it more for the office or a kitchen though and not as something to be placed in the bedroom.

3.0 out of 5 stars Hard to Sleep, February 21, 2009

By	L. Thomas "mac addict" (CT, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: iLuv i166 Audio System with Dual Alarm, LCD, and Dock for iPod (White) (Electronics)

Hey all,
I got this dock for Christmas this year. I was really excited with all its features. However, when i plugged it in I faced some issues. One, the light up blue background light is bright and if you like your room dark when you're sleeping it will keep you up all night (that's why I returned mine). Also the blue glow makes it hard to read the time in the middle of the night as oppose to those older clocks that showed up in red numbers. I also found that it was hard to get the remote to work from certain angles. All in all, I think its a great product if you don't mind the blue light when you're sleeping.
