Review on πŸ”Œ iHome iBN20GC Bluetooth Wireless FM Clock Radio: Power Up with USB Charging by Octavius Webster

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good news, bad news

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 Bluetooth to the iHome radio in the bathroom. It took me some time to figure out what was going on. As a solution, I had to turn off (turn off) the Bluetooth function in my phone when I'm not using the radio. It's a bit of a shame, because before, when the phone was always connected to the radio via Bluetooth, I could turn off a program or song in the middle of playing, and Bluetooth and any other electronic voodoo would have me picking up the phone. right where I left off. If Bluetooth turns off every time, you basically have to start all over again which song or podcast you want to play. I like the device, I would buy more. You just have to get used to the electronic functions.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Miscellaneous Miscellaneous
