Customers are saying
Customers are delighted by the IBT74 Bluetooth Speaker's exceptional sound quality, ease of use, and vibrant lights. Many appreciate its compact size and attractive price point, along with the convenient Bluetooth connectivity. However, some users note that the battery life could be improved, and the bass response might not satisfy all listeners. The speaker's color-changing feature is also a popular highlight for many.

Great speaker for what I needed
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this speaker to play music for my spa. It works perfectly for the soft sounds I need. The lights are very soothing also. When I am doing in home calls and operating on battery power however, it only holds a charge through one session. The only draw back.
I would recommend this to a friend it is pritty cool but...
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The color light up is cool but if the volume is turned up there is a noticeable buzzing. I noticed this only a few weeks after getting it. other that that it works good.

not good
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Even thou it had a good look the sound quality was suspect and I would not recommend this to any of my friends.

Posted .Please make sure the speaker is fully charged. When the battery is weak, the sound will deteriorate. It might also be a good idea to delete the speaker from the other device and re-do the pairing procedure. If you suspect something is wrong but cannot exchange the speaker, please contact iHome Support for help: https://www.ihomeaudio.com/support/contact/ or 1-800-288-2792
Not good quality
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The speaker goes in and out and my daughter was not really happy with it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from iHome
Posted .Please "forget" or "unpair" the iBT84 from the connected device. Restart the device and make sure the iBT84 is fully charged. This will reset the audio sound.
Also, keep in mind if you are streaming music from an app or website, the weak WiFi signal can cause audio distortion.
Feel free to contact iHome directly to troubleshoot.

Nothing Notable at all about this
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We bought this speaker under the impression that it would prove to be a good product in a cool modern way. Not the case at all.

Posted .We are sorry to hear that you had trouble with the setup process.
1. Please charge the speaker for 4-6 hours.
2. Turn on your Bluetooth device and make it “discoverable” by turning on Bluetooth
mode (check in Options or Settings).
3. Slide the Power On/Off Switch to ON to turn on the iBT74. The first time the unit is
powered on, it will enter auto-pairing mode and attempt to connect to a Bluetooth.
4. Press and hold the Bluetooth/Speakerphone Button for 2 seconds. The iBT74 will
beep and the Bluetooth status indicator light on top of the unit will flash quickly.
If Color Mode is on, the cabinet lights will flash blue and red.
5.. “iHome iBT74” should appear in your device’s Bluetooth menu. If “Not Paired”, “Not Connected” or similar message appears, select “iHome iBT74” to connect it. If prompted for a passcode, enter “1234” on your device’s keypad.
6. If pairing is successful, 1 beep will sound and the Bluetooth status indicator light will appear solid blue (in Color Mode, cabinet will flash blue twice), indicating the iBT74 is ready to play music. There should also be an indication on your device. If no device is successfully paired within 3 minutes the iBT74 will default to previous mode. Once the iBT74 is paired to a device, it will attempt to autolink when the device is within range (about 30 feet).
Our Support Team would be happy to walk you through these steps. Please contact us at 1-800-288-2792

It's ok
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's not loud enough for me so I return it........
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from iHome
Posted .We hope you tried it with more than one device because the other device is also responsible for the sound you hear. This speaker has 5 watts of audio power which is usually plenty.

Great sound...AWFUL battery life
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I would've given this 5 stars if it truly had a 6 hour battery life. IT DOES NOT last 6 hours even on a full charge. We can squeak out maybe 2 on a good day. It constantly requires charging, which is not what's promised on the website and one of the main reasons it was purchased. Sound is OK, but the battery life makes it hard to enjoy as a true bluetooth device.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Light & Sound all in One
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased two of these, one for my son who is 12 and one for outside near the pool. The charging time was much shorter than the 4 hours that the owners manual stated as we connected it to our USB Power Plug Adapter inside the home. While the lights and connectivity to Bluetooth was beyond simple I was not highly impressed when the unit was at full volume and a song had just a little bit of bass to it. The unit seems to come a little short in sound when used to its max but for its price we are satisfied so much that we are planning on purchasing the Ihome color changing alarm system with Bluetooth.
I would recommend this to a friend- Pros mentioned:Sound quality
