iHome iP90 Dual Alarm Clock Radio for iPhone/iPod with AM/FM Reception Review

Audio/Others by stefan @ 2011-02-16

The iP90 from iHome comes with an easy adjustable dock to fit our Ipod or Iphone, features dual alarms, EQ, a 3D sound setting, top buttons for different adjustments with backlight and more; the bass is more powerful than the iP49, but it is not as compact as the former.

A Closer Look Part IV

The unit also features a small buzzer on the bottom, which operates in case we do not want to be woken up by the Ipod/Iphone, Radio or Custom Playlist:

 

 

 

When turning on the device, we will see that not only the front LCD is on, but also the top buttons have backlight:

 

 

 

Thanks to the large display, we can see the time/date with no issues at all, even from higher distances:

 

 

 

When the Radio is on, we can see the frequency under the current time:

If we switch from 24 hour time to 12 hour time with the button in the back of the device, we will get a confirmation on the LCD display:

The nice feature that was also present on the iP49 is the ability to synchronize the time/date with our Ipod/Iphone, with only one touch of a button:

 

 

 

If an alarm is set, we will have the pictogram present on the right side of the LCD screen, and the time set on the bottom of the display:

 

 

 

When setting up an alarm, we can specify when it should wake us up: weekdays, weekends or everyday:

 

 

 

The next step is to specify the “wake to” device:

 

 

 

The snooze time can be modified from 1 to 29 minutes (9 minutes setting is default from the factory):

 

 

 

The product comes also with the sleep function, which lets us sleep to our iPhone/Pod or radio, gradually lowering the volume until the unit shuts off at the selected time:
