Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Kensington 33169 Digital FM Radio and Transmitter for iPods
Customer Review: Works Great!
Summary: 5 Stars
This item works great...very clear. I've been looking for a FM Radio adapter for my ipod for a long time. I am glad I found this and it's a great price compare to others. With the rebate, it was only $9.99. I've seen other brands for $80. It was worth the wait. I definitely recommend this product. The only thing is you can not charge the ipod with this plugged in. It's not a problem in my case...I charge mine every night in my dock.Customer Review: Inconsistent Transmission
Summary: 3 Stars
I got mine with my IPOD and is really interested in playing my tunes through the car stereo instead of using a cassette adapter. But this thing is not consistent and you just don't know when it will or will not work. It sometimes lock into the station 88.1 smoothly, at other times, forget about it --- this can get you frustrated! So you don't want to play with this when you're driving. To use as a receiver is great! so I give it 3 stars.Customer Review: Average sound quality
Summary: 3 Stars
CONS:
-All stations will have some static.
-the 4 preset buttons on the bottom are flimsy and need to be firmly pressed.
-the unit can easliy be dislodged while in use.
-The ipod's volume control cannot be adjusted via the ipod.
-The FM stations have static. Not all stations have strong reception because there is no antenna.
-May need to remove an ipod case to securely attach the device.
Customer Review: Very good deal!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this for my sister as a present, and she was very very pleased with it. She's been through a few others but found that they gave suboptimal results (poor battery life or poor quality) and so she gave up. As I said, she's very pleased with this; no noticeable impact on battery life, clear as a bell over FM, and it works as an FM receiver to boot!
I'm buying two more for my girlfriend and me soon.
Customer Review: I like it
Summary: 4 Stars
I only use this in my local gym to watch tv while exercising and it does exactly what I want it to do. Clear sound,
easy operation, inexpensive, low battery draw. What's not to like? It is not able to easily differentiate local radio from the interference inside the building but that is likely true of more expensive radios as well. For me it's worth the cost regardless of the transmitter. Good job Kensington.
