Digital Dual Alarm Clock Radio
The iHome iP9 is a digital dual alarm clock radio and iPod speaker dock unit that is a truly multi-functional device! For example, you can use it to listen to iPod music, auxiliary audio and radio. And if this wasn’t enough to make the iP9 digital dual alarm clock radio stand out in the marketplace, let me tell you something about the well designed detail and quality that has gone into this iHome product.
This digital dual alarm clock radio model can be used with any dockable iPod and it has a 1/8” stereo input at the back which will accept auxiliary input from any device. In addition, it is available in three attractive colors; black, white or blue which makes it easy to harmonize with your home décor.
Waking up in the morning has never been so pleasant as it is with this digital dual alarm clock radio, which tells the time and lets you come awake to your chosen type of music, instead of blasting you into consciousness with an irritating buzzer! There are, in fact, two alarms which can be used independently of each other and you can set them to be used every day, or only on weekdays or just for weekends. Another helpful feature of the digital dual alarm clock radio is the setting that allows the alarm volume to be gradually increased, so that you can wake up gently.
One part of the digital dual alarm clock radio that isn’t so satisfactory is the dock. Unfortunately, it is as disappointing as every other dock designed for use with a wide range of iPods and iPhones. It’s almost impossible get a grip on docks which have an insert supposed to support the iPod or iPhone device, while you struggle to fit it in.
This only becomes a real problem with the digital dual alarm clock radio, when you have to navigate on an idevice after insertion in the dock. I always get the feeling that either the dock or the iPod is going to snap, but this is a problem with all similar types of digital dual alarm clock radio.
After reviewing this particular model of digital dual alarm clock radio, I decided to buy one for each of my teen sons, as I felt the time had come for them to take responsibility for getting up in the morning! And now our home is certainly ‘alive to the sound of music’ every morning as our three digital dual alarm clock radios each broadcast their owners’ favorite tunes!
