If the unit does not respond, try resetting the unit. Press and hold both the
“+” and “–” Buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds. Note that doing

Works fine not great sound
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The device works fine as a whole but the sound quality could be better.
I would recommend this to a friendBrand response from iHome
Posted .We appreciate your input yet wish it was more detailed. Where are you using the speaker? How large of a room? What type of gathering?
Please make sure you charge the device for 4-6 hours. If you are using an aux cable, try a different cable. If you are using the bluetooth feature with an App, ensure you have proper WiFi signal for streaming. You can also connect this to another iBT78 for true stereo sound.

Ihome
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s a good speaker if you have a desk job but anything else where there is noise, it’s not so great. Battery life is not good. When it hits fifty percent it drops the volume a lot.
