Amazon.com Product Description

The ZN90 is an innovative clock radio for Zune and Zune HD that allows you to wake to your Zune at different times on different days with our 7-5-2 feature. The ZN90 also includes AM/FM presets, EQ controls and 3D sound and Reson8 sound technology, for an exceptional audio experience.

Reson8 speaker chambers and specially designed drivers deliver full-range sound.

Works with Zune and Zune HD.

Wake up on the Right Side of Bed
The ZN90 lets you wake or sleep to Zune, Zune HD, or AM/FM radio, so you can start or end your day just the way you want it to sound. While it's docked, your Zune device will receive a charge, so it's ready to go when you are.

Alarm Features
Set two independent alarms, one for you and one for your companion, with any combination of iPhone, iPod, AM/FM radio or buzzer. "7-5-2" alarm settings allow you to schecule alarms for the full week, the work week, or the weekend with separate wake times.

The ZN90 gently increases alarm volumes to make things a little less painful, and a programmable snooze time lets you sleep in a little or a lot with snooze time between 1 and 29 minutes, so there's less groaning and reaching for the alarm clock.

Sleep Function
The ZN90's sleep function also does things gently, lowering the volume after the selected time of 120, 90, 60, 30 or 15 minutes. It also features an independent volume from the alarm, so you can keep things quiet without worrying about waking up on time.

Quality Audio
The ZN90 sounds great, thanks to iHome's specially designed Reson8 speaker chambers and specially designed drivers. Reson8 is iHome's through-body ported speaker chamber technology. Porting speakers gives better bass response characteristics, and helps the ZN90 deliver sound beyond its size.

For further sound adjustment, bass/treble EQ controls are included, along with balance, and a 3D sound setting for a wider sound stage.

AM/FM Radio
Listen to your favorite radio programming or catch up on the news and traffic, with 6 AM / 6 FM preset stations.

Auxiliary Input
The ZN90 features a standard 3.5mm "mini" jack, so you can connect MP3 players, CD players, iPods, or most any other audio device.

After using this alarm for two weeks I really like it.
Pros: It has two alarms that can be set for either 5 days a week or 7 days and be set for Zune, radio or beep.
-The speakers sound really good for a smallish clock. Not enough power for a party but plenty loud enough for a bedroom.
-Good base/treble/3d effect controls.
- Large easy to read display that had lots of brightness settings from Nightlite bright down to basicaly off.
- Easy to hit snooz button that you can adjust the length of snooze.
- It comes with adapters for all of the Zune models ( I am using it with a HD) The Zune fits snugly and makes a good connection all of the time.
-The Sleep function slowly lowers the volume as shutdown aproaches.
Cons: No remote control.
-The Zune HD has locked up twice after inserting into the base

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Clock Radio/Docking Station, July 22, 2010

This review is from: iHome ZN90 Dual Clock Radio and Speaker Systems for Zune and Zune HD (Black) (Electronics)

After owning the IHome ZN9 for over a year and being completely happy with it I wanted to get another. Since that model is no longer in production I went with the ZN90. There aren't many options for Zune alarm clock/docking stations out there, but luckily this one does the trick.

As a alarm clock, this product works as advertised. The eight different brightness settings are nice, especially since I like to have the display off and the room as dark as possible when going to sleep. Additionally the alarm is nice since it gradually increases in volume until you turn it off or snooze it, as opposed to instantly blaring in your ear when you wake up.

As a docking station/music player it does a good job as well. I use the ZN90 at work in my cubicle to listen to podcasts and music. It is not something I'd use to play music in a party setting, there are other products for that, but it can definitely fill a room with sound. The AM/FM antennas work well and I can pick up the local stations no problem, which is great if I want to listen to a baseball game at work.

Overall I would definitely recommend this product.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good Zune Dock, September 8, 2010

By

This review is from: iHome ZN90 Dual Clock Radio and Speaker Systems for Zune and Zune HD (Black) (Electronics)

I received this Dock as a gift about a month ago, and have used it about every day since. It was very easy to set up and get working, and took about ten minutes to plug in and set the clock, date, and radio presets. I have been using my ZuneHD with it, with no problems thus far.

Pros:
-Good sound quality, nothing major but good for your nightstand.
-Has two Alarms that can be set to beep, Radio, or Zune.
-Alarm starts out quiet and gets louder until you turn it off.
-Has adjustable Sleep function that lets you set it to turn off music after a set amount of time.
-Has six radio presets
-Eight brightness settings that range from bright to basically off.
-Charges Zune
-Displays Date and Time.

Cons:
-No remote included or available. You have to skip or change songs on the Zune. (It does have Pause/Play button)
-There are three buttons for the six radio presets.(two per button)
-Zune feels a little loose when in the cradle.

I gave it a four only because I would love for it to have a remote or even have to option to buy one. The fact that it doesn't have one could be considered a fatal flaw. But overall, if a remote is not important, then this is a definite buy.
