Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of iLuv i177 Alarm Clock Speaker System for iPod (Black)
Customer Review: Exactly as expected...
Summary: 5 Stars
I was looking for an ipod station, a radio, and preferably a clock, so this was a perfect solution. It's very easy to use, and I like the dimmest setting of the clock. The speakers can be cranked pretty high, and although they don't give you a lot of depth, they're perfectly adequate for filling a small to mid-sized room. The little remote works fine, but I don't really use it. Works great with our 2G nano and 1G touch. Exactly what I needed, and the price was right!Customer Review: Failed after 6 weeks!
Summary: 1 Stars
My dock has distorted sound when playing ipod through it after only 6 weeks. No it isn't the ipod which is fine. Haven't managed to work out how to get a replacement or refund yet! Pretty disgruntled.
Liked the unit until it stopped working properly......
Customer Review: Pretty much perfect

Here's what I needed from an alarm clock, and how the iLuv i177 responded:
1) Plays/charges the iPod AND shuffles the tracks every morning. I don't want to wake up to the same song, or set of songs everyday, and I know that many cheaper alarm clocks have that problem.
* i177 says: We can do that!
2) Dual alarm, (In my case, one for weekdays, the other for weekends.)
* i177 says: CHECK!
3) Doesn't have a huge glaring LCD keeping me up at night. I've fought this with every alarm clock I've bought, and it got to the point where I'd just keep a card in front of the screen, which really wasn't useful. And it was orange LCD. Gross.
* i177 says: You want pitch black at night and pleasantly visible during the day? Done!
4) Big snooze button. My ex-alarm clock had a massive snooze button (that's what she said) and considering how many times I hit it each morning, I don't want to be forced to wake up to reach/find it.
* i177 says: We can hit that.
5) FM Radio?
* i177 says: Yep.
6) Easy to program?
* i177 says: A bit of tedious touch wheel action never hurt anybody. It's still easy, just different.
7) Fairly compact?
* i177 says: *cough* Come on. You want quality sound and all these crazy functions? We're not Apple, kid. What are you going to do with all that bedside table space anyway?
8) Good sound is pretty nice, but I live in an old, thin walled apartment and I don't want to wake up my neighbor with unexpected PearlJam on full blast...
* i177 says: The alarm volume is programmable so it's not too abrupt for you and it doesn't get blaring for them. Awesome, huh?
8) I was spoiled when I used my mac as an alarm clock because I had the easy remote at hand to change tracks if they were annoying...
* i177 says: You got it. :)
Basically, this thing covers just about everything I could possibly want, plus an absurd AM antenna when I care enough about talk radio to attach it. Except for the size, I'd say the iLuv i177 deserves 4.5-5 stars. Sure, it was $10 cheaper when I bought it and I had a $25 gift card, but it was definitely worth it.
Customer Review: I love this thing!
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband had an older speaker system for his iPod that worked wonderfully well for him, but wasn't compatible with my newer iPod Touch.
I was dying to be able to play my music out loud (when my husband isn't home since our musical tastes are a bit different, and I love it LOUD!), so after some research I settled on the ILuv Alarm.
This thing is just amazing!
The sound is so good, my husband's getting jealous! I haven't heard an iPod sound this good on any external speaker system, and certainly not one at this price point.
The alarm function is great, too, and the dimmable lights won't keep you awake. I can wake up to the news and not give up my music when I'm cleaning or poking around. The remote is just great for that; you can crank it up and hit the remote to lower the sound from across the room. Great feature I loved back when I was playing CDs on a stero system.
I honestly can't think of a thing that's wrong with this baby. The features and the cool look of the device are a steal at this price!
Highly recommend!
Customer Review: exceeded my expectations
Summary: 5 Stars
Wow! This alarm clock exceeded my expectations. It's easy to program and use and has AMAZING sound for its size, plus it looks great. The snooze/dimmer button is large and right up front- easy to hit in the middle of the night or in the morning when you want that 5 extra minutes. I like that you can change the brightness of the display and have the option of completely turning off the light all together. When the alarm goes off in the morning, the display lights up- a little extra help to get you out of bed. A few people have said the remote doesn't work from more than 5 feet away- I've found that I can use mine from across the room, so I have no complaints there either.
All in all, this is a great alarm clock at a GREAT price- I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for an ipod compatible alarm clock! 2 thumbs up!
