Customer Review: Good for listening quietly
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this at Wal-Mart and used it for about six months. It's compact, easy to set up and affordable. The connection to the speaker is through the headphone jack - not the ipod USB jack. The picture on the package shows the ipod upright but you can't use it that way. It's not a huge deal because you just rest it on the side but something to note. It also will not charge your iPod. Another thing I found somewhat irritating is the shelf the iPod rests on moves - so if you pick the speaker up with the iPod attached to move it the shelf shifts or goes in and the ipod falls off. It's not a problem if you don't move it or you hang on to both pieces when you move it. I always managed to drop the ipod but the speaker cord is short so it doesn't fall far.
The sound quality is marginal at best. Don't think for a minute you're going to rock out the house and thump the windows and walls. If you turn up the volume too loud it gets crackly. It's best left at mid volume. The battery life is pretty good. I used mine about three times a week and the batteries lasted about 2 months for regular Duracells. I then switched to rechargeable Duracells and they lasted about the same length of time.
After a while I upgraded to a better speaker set and gave this to a friend who is still using it. Not sure how long it will last but so far it's running strong.

Sweet Simplicity
The IHM3P4 gets its signal from the line-in jack, so it can be used with nearly any audio device you can attach to it. An audio cable is included for connecting devices. The design also can act as a shelf for smaller devices like the iPod nano.
Sweet Sound
No matter the device attached, you'll enjoy rich audio thanks to SRS TruBass sound enhancement. Best of all, you can take the device anywhere, as it's powered by 4 AAA batteries (included). Just slip it in the included protective carrying case. Of course, a headphone jack is also included for those times when you don't want to wake up the neighbors.
