Amazon.com Product Description

The iHome iH26B Portable Travel Alarm Clock for iPod and iPod Shuffle (Black) is the perfect portable alarm clock for when you are on the go with your iPod and iPod shuffle. This unit comes with a carrying case with a handle to protect both itself and your iPods during your travels, and lets you not only listen to the music on your iPods, but fall asleep and wake up to it as well.

The iHome iH26B lets you listen to your music while charging your iPod and iPod shuffle simultaneously by docking them in the portable alarm clock station. The alarm clock station features a portable, low-profile design that can easily go anywhere you do, and an auxiliary line-in jack with a patch cord for hooking up other MP3 players or audio devices. This unit wakes you up to your own gently increasing music, unless none is detected from your iPod in which case a buzzer will sound, and features an alarm reset function that shuts off the alarm while automatically resetting it for the same time the following day. The sleep timer function is programmable for a 90, 60, 30, or 15-minute countdown, and even features an adjustable sleep volume that lets you select a comfortable sleep volume level without affecting the wake-to or listening volume levels. The iH26B also comes with a remote control (battery included) that lets you control all its major functions from a convenient distance.

The iHome iH26B uses two stereo neodymium micro driver speakers to provide clear sound across all volume levels. Not only are the alarm and time settings easy to adjust, but has a travel lock feature that maintains your settings so that the time is automatically set as soon as you plug it in, and keeps the unit from accidentally powering on in order to save battery life. The iH26B has a multifunctional LCD display with an adjustable white backlight, and is settable to both 12 and 24-hour operating modes. This alarm clock includes extra convenience features such as the ability to store your shuffle's USB cap while your iPod is docked, and a sure-alarm battery backup (battery included) that maintains your clock settings and ensures the alarm wake-up time in case of a power failure. This unit is powered by the included AC power adapter in order to recharge you iPod, or can run on four AA batteries (not included) for portability, and includes inserts that let it work with all iPod models, including the Nano. The iH26B comes in a sleek, contemporary black finish that matches your iPod, measures 8.22 x 5.9 x 1.65 inches (W x H x D), and is backed by a manufacturer's limited 90-day warranty.

What's in the Box
iHome iH26B travel alarm clock for iPod and iPod shuffle, a remote control, inserts to fit all iPod models, a carrying case with handle, a patch cord for auxiliary in, an AC power adapter, two CR032 batteries for the clock backup and remote control, and a user's manual.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun iPod Docking Station, October 24, 2007

This is a fun little device - the perfect size with plenty of features. It fits on my nightstand in place of your typical alarm clock, not taking up any extra room. It easily packs up to go on the road with you. It has custom adapters included for every size of docking iPod, as well as a connector for non-docking iPods. Great sound, great control of sleep vs. wake volumes, and a nice dimming feature with 4 settings to it, so that the light of the clock doesn't keep you awake. And if you forget to dock your iPod, the buzzer alarm will still sound (actually it's a beeping alarm).

If you are a heavy sleeper, or like 90 minutes of sleep music in addition to your wake music, I recommend putting your iPod on shuffle all songs before docking it on this station so that you won't get to the end of your playlist and run out of music.

I only have two complaints about the iHome 2 Go travel alarm clock. One is that my clock seems to gain a few minutes every day, so it ends up being very fast. I reset the time once a week. The other is that I have to remove my iSkin to dock my iPod. I was sure when I bought the skin that it said I wouldn't have to remove it to dock the iPod, but because of how the docking works on this station, I do.

5.0 out of 5 stars this alarm clock is hella sick., June 17, 2007

I got this alarm clock for my birthday from my parents (im 20). SO, about the ihome2go: This little thing is awesome. Speakers: get loud, and quiet. I had no trouble falling asleep with the "sleep" function and i didnt have it on the lowest volume. Alarm function: take your ipod out to get the standard "beep" alarm. the remots is mad convenient too. Not to mention this thing comes with a case! People are complaining about the ac adapter not fitting in the pack, but i dont think its a big deal. The batteries in the alarm clock last long enough on short trips that if i were to bring it with me, i would only need the ihome and my ipod. the audio cable is also really convenient, allowing any and all ipods, cd players, and mp3 players to offer alarm music. Basically, best gift ever.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Sound, Nice Size, July 22, 2006

I found the sound to be excellent on this unit, especially given the smaller size. Crystal clear sound even at maximum volume. Much better than I expected. I wasn't able to get any sound until I inserted the batteries (4 AA) so I would consider that a drawback. I have no idea how long those batteries will last yet. There is a separate backup battery for the clock in case of a power outage. It comes with a nice travel case as well as a remote that can pause/play the iPod. Overall I am pleased with my purchase.
