Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of iLuv i177 Alarm Clock Speaker System for iPod (Black)

Customer Review: Good overall, didn't wear well over time
Summary: 3 Stars

I bought this in 2008 to use with a 6G iPod Classic. It worked well generally, but with three problems:

1. Didn't work well with 6G firmware: the basic controls (pause, play, rewind, FF) worked, but I was never able to get it to wake up to a particular track or playlist -- it would jump to whatever track came first alphabetically out of my entire library.

2. The "monolith" (iPod rising out of the top like some ancient monument) design. This is common in iPod docking systems, so may not be a flaw unique to this model. However, it's a particular problem for a clock radio because some of us (ahem) tend to reach over and smack the snooze alarm, flail around for controls, etc. Having the iPod up there by itself makes it really easy to knock the iPod out, and I think over time it loosened or wore down the dock. After about a year, I have to sort of jiggle my iPod in the dock to get it to connect, it spontaneously comes loose or stops playing, etc. I'm now replacing with a less monolithy model.

3. The dimmer/brightness is adjustable, but still a bit bright overall.

Description of iLuv i177 Alarm Clock Speaker System for iPod (Black)

When the iPod was first released, most viewed it as a personal music player for traveling, working out, or other "individual" activities. But that all changed when people started storing their entire music collections on their iPods and doing away with CDs entirely. Among the many product categories that emerged in the aftermath was the iPod-specific speaker system, which lets you listen to your entire iTunes library out loud but without sacrificing portability. The jWin I177BLK is the latest incarnation--a user-friendly, compact speaker system that looks somewhat like a clock radio (and functions like one, too), but stands ready to deliver deep, rich audio playback.

The powered system is outfitted with a dock on the top surface that holds many iPod models. The dock not only grips the iPod in an easy-to-access location, making it a breeze to find specific songs or hit shuffle, but it also charges the iPod while in use. As a result, you can remove the iPod from the dock right before working out and it'll still be fully charged, even after playing through the speakers for an entire afternoon. Even better, the I177BLK isn't restricted to the iPod, as it also connects to other USB-equipped personal MP3 players. Households with several personal music players won't be left out of the playback loop.

The system's audio performance is warmly satisfying thanks to jWin's Aura acoustic technology, which adds depth and clarity to the music reproduction. And even though the system is built for digital music files, it also includes a built-in clock, a dual alarm function, and an AM/FM _radio with PLL digital tuning technology. The radio makes the unit ideal for bedrooms, offices, and other locations where an alarm comes in handy. Listeners even have their choice of waking to the iPod, the radio, or a buzzer.

Additional features include a user-friendly backlit LCD screen, a precision volume control that ensures a comfortable sound level, a remote control for maximum convenience, and an external loop antenna that improves the AM reception. The I177BLK, which comes in a sleek black housing that measures 11.25 by 3.12 by 6.75 inches (W x H x D), is backed by a one-year warranty on parts and labor.
