This would be nice for a child or quiet office but the speakers do not offer great sound quality. The ihome ipod system we have mounted in our kitchen has much richer sound than this, I'm not sure why this one sounds so tinny when it's the same brand and price range. I guess there just isn't a portable ipod player in the $50-60 range that offers great sound. So we went up to the $100 range and purchased an Altec Lansing iM600USB Portable Speaker System here on Amazon. The Altec is exactly what we were looking for with all the same features as this radio; but offers richer sound WITH ACTUAL BASS and depth, it's sleeker looking, and has a rechargeable battery! Worth the extra money.

I bought this boombox for use at an event last year. I used it for 3 days. Last year I would have given it 4 stars, but unfortunately, I attempted to use it for the same event this year (1 year later) now I would give it a zero. The speakers won't work for iPod or Radio. There is still power, since the iPod charges. But, nothing comes out of the speakers. I question the quality of iHome after having to return a clock radio for a replacement after 6 months, and now this iHome boombox. So 2/3 iHome products were defective.

i've had mine only a few days however i bought my used and i haven't experienced problems. For me i needed something i can carry around and play music from my ipod. in most ipod players, they have to be stationary and the ipod is stinking out of the top where any slight bump could knock it over. This boom box keeps your ipod protected where there is no chance on you're ipod falling out. Its great for camping, going to the beach and anywhere you just want to be. this is truly a portable ipod player. i'll say that the only downside might be the sound quality and the fm radio. i haven't been able to listen to fm radio though i rather just listen to my ipod.
