Play and Charge Your iPod
The iH4B's universal dock plays and charges most docking iPod models. Enjoy your iPod music while your device charges. Wake to your iPod, grab it, and go with a full charge.

iPod or Buzzer Alarm
The iH4B lets you wake to your docked iPod or the buzzer alarm. A gradual alarm feature gently raises the alarm volume, so it's not too jarring. And, of course, there's a snooze button, for those days when you need a few more minutes of sweet slumber.

Battery backup means your alarm will work even in the event of a power outage.

Adjustable Lighting
Control the brightness of the LCD and the LED side accent lighting. Set it to your preference: high, medium, low, and off.

Sleep Function
Fall asleep to your favorite iPod tunes with the selectable sleep timer.

Quality Sound
iHome's EXB (expanded bass sound) enriches the iH4B's low frequencies at lower listening levels.

Auxiliary Input
Connect external devices like MP3 or CD players to the rear auxiliary input for your enjoyment.

What's in the Box
iHome iH4B, AC adapter, iPod inserts, and user's manual.

4.0 out of 5 stars IH4 Alarm Clock for iPod nice with a couple of caveats, March 18, 2007

This review is from: iHome iH4 Alarm Clock Speaker System with Dock for iPod (Black) (Electronics)

I bought this for my wife and haven't played with it too much but will pass on her comments. The unit is small and easy to use. Overall pleased with only two comments.
The volume is incremental and only adjusts from the unit itself and ignores any changes made on the iPod. The problem with this is that if you want to fall asleep to some 'gentle and soothing' sounds/music the difference between no sound and the first step is too pronounced.
The only other item to note is that the dimmer also has steps and if you like your room very dark at night the lowest setting visible is just a bit too bright. However, you can completely turn the light off which is nice and all you have to do is hit a button to turn it on -- then step thru all the settings to turn it off...but that's not too bad.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect match!, June 22, 2007

This review is from: iHome iH4 Alarm Clock Speaker System with Dock for iPod (Black) (Electronics)

I got this as a way to listen to my 2g pink nano while going to sleep. I was amazed when I plugged it in in the kitchen and my husband thought the stereo was on all the way from the living room. The sound is amazing for this tiny piece of equipment. The sleep feature is great and the dimmer for the lights is cool too. The fact that it doesn't have a remote is annoying, but the remote is 15 bucks on ihome's site. Since this is a great ipod accessory I will definetly be getting the remote to boot. I just wish it also came in pink.

2.0 out of 5 stars Many Poor Design Decisions, November 14, 2007

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: iHome iH4 Alarm Clock Speaker System with Dock for iPod (Black) (Electronics)

1) The iPod Mini will not connect as long as the adapter is installed. Instead, I need to remove the adapter and let it wobble there on the top. 2) There is no way to push the side buttons without first feeling for the correct button, then gripping the entire unit. Pressing the buttons without full grip only pushes the iH4 to the side.
3)Gives the impression that it includes the remote, but doesn't.
4) The display is too bright and sports high intensity LEDs to add to the illumination.
5) Sleep (the best feature of iHome units) is a small button rather than a large bar like snooze.
