    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 bought it on sale for my wife as one integrated device to have radio, clock and Bluetooth. Turned out to be a great value for money spent. Speaker's power is nice, I wasn't expecting it to be so powerful that I can hear it across my home. A piece of art for display in small section in living area. I wish they had internal antenna for FM radio instead of wire hanging out that sometime fiddle up with reception of week signals.

    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 was looking for a regular old radio. Not radio over the internet and this served the purpose. It works well. It has a little antenna I can move around to get a better signal. For the cost the sound quality is pretty good and it has a USB port to Chang something. This does exactly what I want it to do.

    This clock radio has the Bluetooth connectivity and alarms and stuff you want on a clock radio. The AM/FM works well too. It’s just the display that is too bright. Even on the lowest setting it lights up my bedroom. I have finally turned it away from facing me at night and it illuminates my way to the bathroom at night. I’m thinking of a blue or red theatrical gel to cover the display so I can have it face me and not keep me awake at night. I have tried all the settings and it is easy to change from insanely bright to bright enough to keep you up at night. wish they would have had a couple of more notches down or made the display a color instead of cool white. OTher than this it works well.

    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 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 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.

    I needed an alarm clock so I could stop using my cellphone for that purpose. This works great, but I haven't taken advantage of all the options it comes with. For me it works as an alarm clock and that's all I'm using it for. My only criticism is that the numbers are a bit too bright at night. I would like the option to dim them a bit in the dark as they give off too much light, especially if sitting next to the bed on a night stand.

    This is a great radio for bedside or bathroom usage. It has great sound. There is a little bit of volume decrease when using bluetooth but it keeps the sound levels based on the input (radio, bluetooth, etc). The user interface is easy to add stations to the memory and the bluetooth connection is easy to use.

    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.

    Where's the display?

    I've owned other iHome clock radios, so I was pretty confident choosing this one. The display hidden behind the speaker cloth is pretty novel. I decided that a USB port for charging would be better (and more versatile) than a built-in Lightning connector. The radio is FM only, so keep that in mind if your favorite station is AM (in my case, it's because FM reception in my area is poor).

    Purchased as an FM radio for my office, with the bonus of Bluetooth for playing music from an external device. Decent sound quality. Modest FM reception range with some transient interference. Digital tuning. Can also be used as a speaker for your phone and will charge many devices (slowly) via a USB port on the back panel. Also supports an auxiliary input jack.

    Great Clock

    I purchased two of these clocks for a beach house I decorated in Florida. They look great and work well with the decor. The clock face is well lit, but not so bright that it will keep you awake at night. I like the sleek, contemporary design, and the fact they sort of blend into the background, unlike many tacky bedside alarm clocks that stand out in all their cheap, plastic, unsightly glory.
