Review on πŸ”Š iLive Wireless Bluetooth Speaker System with CD Player, FM Radio - Black (iHB603B) by Amber Hickman

Revainrating 3 out of 5

the first one was broken - replacement looks promising

The original device I received worked the first night I slept. The next night when I turned it on to play the sleep CD, there was no sound coming out of the speakers - no sound just from the CD. The sound was ok on the radio but not on the CD. I decided to replace the device and after a week overnight everything is fine. STICKER SHOCK refers to a very annoying and very difficult to remove sticker that the manufacturer puts on the front of this device. It took me at least 20 minutes to get that damn sticker off using both a soapy wet rag and an oil spray and another rag. This is aesthetics for you! But on the other hand I was happy that it comes with a clock type battery remote - pre-installed (YES) and no batteries needed as a backup system for the clock. I bought 2 more devices from other manufacturers and sent them back as the devices wouldn't even turn on without batteries. So the speakers are good, the unit is actually smaller than I thought it would be which is a good thing. The only downside for me is the rather short AC plug in the socket. It is no longer than 20 feet and can be slightly shorter. Price and features suit me. In fact, I'll admit that I bought the BOSE WAVE (III) system this week and returned it because it was more than I needed. This humble device actually has nicer features in some respects and costs ten times less.

Pros
  • Doping πŸ”₯
Cons
  • Negative gift
