Pros and a few cons

I bought this because I didn’t always want to use my phone as an alarm clock, and my old standby broke after many years. What I like about this: unobtrusive, attractive grey color with a cloth front looks good in my bedroom, and is nicer than a black plastic box; it’s got a small enough footprint that I can have other things on the stand I put it on; I can wake to a Bluetooth song in my library because it can be paired to it; the sound of the alarm has options, and they aren’t an obnoxious buzzer (I like the “chime” sounding option. It’s gentle and one can adjust the volume of the alarm or the music one wakes to. Can also wake to radio, yet I’ve not used that function). The thing I really like is that the display has 3 brightness options AND one can turn it all the way off for sleeping. This is important to me. What I wasn’t so fond of: the method for setting one of 2 possible alarms, with lots of options, is kind of hard to understand at first. I didn’t wake up one day because I had inadvertently chosen the wrong “day amount” option (2 day, 5 day, or 7 day). The options, once one figures it all out, are kind of cool, yet not so clear, to begin with anyway. Still, it’s very versatile & I am happy with the purchase.

Alarm clock has many useful features. From Bluetooth connections to stream audio to making phone calls. Dual alarms, ascending tones to wake to easily. Control over the dimmer, from high to turning off display all together (which my GF appreciated) and still have alarm activated. Simple controls, easy to operate, instructions detailed and informative. Haven’t accessed Alexa or google home, but I’m sure it would work easily. Aesthetically sleek.

The iBT232 allows you to wake up to your favorite music. Its dual-alarm clock lets you set up to two alerts and assign sounds from your smartphone’s playlist, the speaker’s built-in tones or the clock's FM radio. This iHome Bluetooth speaker also has a 1-amp USB port for charging a portable device.

Alarm clock plus a few features

The features of this alarm clock radio/Bluetooth are attractive enhancements. Setting radio station presets was a little confusing to me but that is my fault not the radios. In the area I am working there were several stations that it picked up, I was pleased with the reception.
If you need a loud alarm to wake up to; this alarm tone could have been designed to be louder. The slight volume level concerned me but I have heard the alarm every morning though and I am confident in it now. The alarm is pleasant to wake to, I like an alarm that ascends in volume. This doesn't have that feature but I am glad the alarm is not abusive to my slumbering senses in my waking to the alarm. Or, you can wake to music by setting the alarm to your device and play through the Bluetooth. The sound quality is much better than the phone speaker unless you have the Motorola with the speaker pack that attaches to it.
The only con I can point out was the price, it was marked down for the holidays but still over $50. I could have paid $20 or $10 for a truly basic alarm clock but I chose to purchase this model due to the ability to charge my device with the usb connection.

We have been long-time iHome clock radio users. These days, it seems to be harder and harder to find a clock radio that also offers a USB port to connect/charge an electronic device in addition to having the option of connecting the device via BlueTooth. This iHome device is one of the few that does all of that--and it does it very well.
We were worried about the vertical size and "cloth covering" of the clock, but we think it looks much, much better in person than it looks in photos (although the photos are accurate). The footprint is fairly small and it's vertical height is not obnoxious at all. In so many ways, we feel like we got something much better than we imagined with this purchase.

I am very pleased with this clock radio. I love the fact that its grey and cloth instead of straight black. It has a multi level dimmer to adjust the brightness. It has multiple alarms. It also has bluetooth capabilities so I can play music from a variety of different devices. The sound is impressive for the size of it.

Bought this as a Christmas gift for my daughter, who is starting a new job, and wanted a Bluetooth speaker/radio for her office. She thinks it is great. It is small, with a nice, subdued appearance that fits well on her desk; works as a speakerphone, has good sound quality for its size, and has a USB port to keep her phone charged.

This is the 2nd bluetooth clock I purchased by iHome and compared to the 1st one, this one is awesome! (probably since the fist was many years old). Its compact in size so it doesn’t take up alot of space on my desk, sound is clear, easy to use, set time, radio stations, etc! Bluetooth connectivity is easy and I enjoy listening to my music on my iphone all day!

I love the muted grey fabric design and compact size of this clock. The Bluetooth works well, although the sound quality is not as deep and vibrant as I’d like. The alarms are a little time consuming and tricky to set and it’s easy to mess up the AM/PM settings.

My new iHome clock radio is a great addition to my kitchen. It is compact and stylish, with excellent sound quality and user-friendly features. In two other rooms I use much more sophisticated (and pricey) Wave music systems by Bose, but I didn't want to move either of them to kitchen or pop another $500 for a third unit. At a fraction of the price, I have just what the kitchen needed. Thank you, Best Buy!

I was not willing to pay a lot. This fit into my budget as a bathroom Bluetooth and AM/FM radio. And it Exceeds my expectations. It plays loudly over the rush of the shower. It lacks base but makes up for in volume. And the Bluetooth works from outside my house not that that’s necessary but it does work along way

Bought this radio/clock because it had digital tuning. The bluetooth connection to my phone was an added and delightful bonus!
The sound is good although I do occasionally get interference in the radio signal. I have the attached antenna taped under the kitchen counter and that could be the reason. It comes with a USB port that I can use to charge my phone and other USB accessories. Love that feature!

Always have a problem programming clock radios and turning off the alarm. This one is easier than any I have had in the past. The display is not intrusive - dim enough not to interfere with sleep. I like the fact that the alarm button is slightly lit when the alarm is on and it is easy to find in the dark.

We use this as our bedroom clock radio. The sound is very good for the size. A lot of nice features; bluetooth, multiple alarms. The set up and use is a little on the complicated side but doable. Our biggest complaint is the clock is way too bright even on its dimmest setting. And it's a white light instead of red, so we now cover it up at night to get to sleep.
