iHome Portable Speaker | ProjectGadget.com Video Review

[deadrocker911]

hi.... i just bought this today and it sucks... i bought this in target and when i used it, the louder my MP3 gets, the bad quality the ihome is... sooo its not the best i home i had plus tell me how ur ihome is with an MP3, THANX and make a video about it

[projectgadget]

@deadrocker911 maybe you don't have the same model or defective? I think it has a decent sound in a small form factor and with the earphone jack you can connect to anything easily. For great sound you will need to sprend more than the $15-20 and move into a powered speaker system. Check out some of the creative bluetooth models, saw at CES and sounded good.

i just bought this and wanted to see if there was a review on it, i gotta say, it sounds really nice and crisp, not over powering bass, and its pretty loud, real nice sounding speakers, I was impressed when i turned it up

and for only 15$ totally worth it

[projectgadget]

@420swed420 isn't it amazing for $15! Won't blow you away with base but for a cool speaker to pack in your bag and amazing battery life. I just packed mine in a suitcase for a week and won't have to worry about a power cord. I bought it just like you and was amazed. Have fun.

Does it work with rechargeable batteries? If so, what mAh is the maximum? I need to know what Sanyo Eneloops to buy...

[projectgadget]

@slashedsickness sure, I use standard energizer AA rechargeable batteries that charge in 15 minutes and works great. As long as you are AA you should be fine (pick them up at target). Batteries last forever with the speaker!

Got this yesterday, it cost me 19 bucks at walmart, but god damn the sound is sooooo good on it!!!!

[projectgadget]

@dragonmastersteve I know it's a great little speaker that I use everyday, enjoy!

[graeamos]

Thanks for the review! Looking to get this, do you know if an iphone in a case will fit on the ledge?

[projectgadget]

@graeamos yes, iphone 3 & 4 in cases work fine as well as any other phone or mp3 player with headphone jack. I leave my phones in cases all the time so no worries.

[pspgod9999]

it uses battery right.

[projectgadget]

@pspgod9999 yes, 4 AA batteries. I use rechargeable ones and last 2-3 weeks at least. Wanted to note, I tried other models by ihome and this particular model sounded better although it's the cheapest. Go figure?

[triodedude]

nice... but why are you talking about your phone or the sirius radio? this is a review of a speaker system right? sigh.... /wrist

[projectgadget]

@triodedude just the speaker, was just showing it with different devices. Right now the iphone 4 sits on it and is perfect to watch movies or music on because of the tilt. I hear they discontinued the model so grab one if you can find it. ps - I tried the more expensive ihome speaker that zips closed and sound wasn't as good.

[KARLCIESLAK]

I have one like that costed me 35$

[projectgadget]

@KARLCIESLAK Did you buy it outside the US? Most retailers sell it for around $15-$20 so maybe you have a slightly different model.

[r43freezing]

can you put ur itouch on it with the case on it or no?

[projectgadget]

@r43freezing as long as the headphone jack is clear you can use any case you want.

[twistedxtransister]

hey wat kind of batterys does it use??

[projectgadget]

@twistedxtransister works with AA batteries and lasts for a long time. Great gadget to have with you.

[mastachief2]

can this play iphone 2g

[projectgadget]

Sure, works with any device with a headphone jack. I have it with me on a trip and I use with a variety of gadgets to play sound.

Great Job! I enjoyed your review. Ill have to try sending a message from an RFID tagged postcard (Bulacard) to my iPhone and listen to it on the iHome.

[projectgadget]

Thank you, exactly what is a RFID tagged postcard?

[Dr23rippa]

Great review! 5* The writing subtitle sort of gets in the way.

[projectgadget]

Glad you liked it, had fun with this one and the audio demo made it fun. Did you mean the part that is the overlay title? I include that because many sites embed my videos and want to make sure the person watching knows who it is. thanks!
