This review is from: iLive iB209 Portable Speaker System for iPod with AM/FM Radio (Black) (Electronics)

I have had good results in the past with iLive products but this is a dud. I purchased 2 for my kids to use as "speakers" in their rooms for their iPod Touch. The good part is that they fit nice and securely in the product. The bad.... STATIC. The radio was mediocre quality, but to be fair, it is an am/fm radio, not a stereo. I could have lived with everything except the static on the iPod "channel". The only way to reduce the static is to crank the volume. My son tried to listen to it at night, and when the volume is low, it is horrible reception. Even when the iPod is off, and the unit is powered on and set to "iPod" there is static. They are on there way back. I was hopeful that it would work well enough, but alas, static killed the purchase. I would look elsewhere. Both of the units I got created the same static problem...

This does everything just-so. It is very easy to set up and use, and I also play my portable XM unit through it. However the sound quality is barely average at this price point. Don't expect any noticeable bass, and forget about using it at any volumes above average. Overall it does okay in a small to medium room.

This is a nice radio that worked perfectly with my ipod touch.

However, I was also looking for a radio with good FM reception.
The FM reception was so so and I ended up returning it.
If the FM reception had of been slightly better I would've kept it and given it 5 stars, especially for the price.
