🔌 iHome iBN20GC Bluetooth Wireless FM Clock Radio: Power Up with USB Charging Review

I have mixed feelings about this clock. I gave it three stars mainly because it has pretty good sound for a small watch and connects quickly and easily to my iPhone via Bluetooth. I bought my first at Walmart. The display failed after two months. The sound worked fine, but a clock radio without a working display is useless. I took it back but I didn't find the same model, I found it at Revain. I only had this second one for a short time, but let's see how this one performs. I will post an…

I love this little alarm clock but if I ever need to change the time I have to hold the button down and ALWAYS wait for the numbers to change to the correct time. I wish they had knobs to set hours and minutes. I had to keep going back to the manual if I needed to change the dimmer or anything. It's not easy to remember all the settings on this thing. I love the USB charger on the back and use it for my phone or iPad. I like the bluetooth and the sound is pretty good. I love its size and that's

The perfect clock radio for a guest room (any bedroom, actually). They were looking for a simple clock radio with large, clear digits on the display that could also be completely dimmed. It was one unit. Nice style and feel. (Doesn't seem as cheap as many clock radios). In the guest room it should also be high above the bedside table so it can be seen easily by simply tilting your head in that direction but not raising your head (I seem to have very needy guests!). Batteries are included. to…

It worked great for the first 6 or 7 months! I liked waking up to my own music. It was a very comfortable way to wake up and I was tired of waking up with a concussion every morning. Unfortunately after 6 or 7 months the Bluetooth has not paired with any of my devices. The alarm sounds are soft which is good if you don't want to be woken up, but they were TOO quiet and didn't wake me up. I've tried everything to get my phone or computer to reconnect to this alarm (both worked fine before). When

This is in my home office next to my computer. It has a good sound and of course it is easy to connect to the phone. The built-in radio is useful when needed. The problem is that I have to keep Bluetooth on in my phone as Sync in my car uses Bluetooth for music, podcasts and also 911 in case of an accident. Since the phone has BT on, the audio part (not the phone part) of the phone connects to iHome as soon as I turn off the car in the garage. I want to watch a video somewhere in the house or…

Glad I can use Bluetooth throughout my house! It was wonderful! The sound quality isn't bad - not BOSE, but not bad. The alarm works well It's nice to wake up to my favorite songs from the phone - really cool! Whether this problem is solved doesn't matter - in a month or so - I have a blank display - the screen doesn't work - everything works; The battery backup woke me up at the right time with an alarm sound. But let's say for the sake of argument I need to "reboot" the device from time to…

The day I received this product I took it out of the box and it looked cheap but good looking. Good size and good display. I fiddled with the settings and connected it to my iPhone via bluetooth. it was very easy. However, when I was watching a video on my phone, the unit would turn itself on and the audio would play through the unit even if you were in the next room. I could see that this would be a nice feature at times, but for me it was more of a nuisance. The first night I used the…

Very disappointed with this product. The story is that my wife and I bought two of the exact same units from our local Costco. After a few weeks, her device started to wear off, which is incredible in an age of electronic timers. In any case, losing not seconds but several minutes over a weekly period is unacceptable. My block seemed fine. The radio function worked on both devices and sounded great. So I sent the defective unit back to Costco for a refund, but Costco no longer held the unit. So

The sound of this tiny radio is incredible for its size and price, and it fits so well in the limited space of my small bathroom. I also enjoy listening to podcasts, which this unit handles flawlessly. However, for some reason I can't figure out yet, the Bluetooth electronics in the radio intercept the alarm tones my iPhone normally makes when it receives text messages or emails. Instead, my phone sits silently on the lamp table in my study most of the day while alarm tones are relayed via…
