Product Description iLuv iMM173 Hi-Fi Dual Alarm Clock for your iPhone and iPod is a clock radio that suits your overall iPod/iPhone lifestyle. After going through several high level testings and evaluations, The iMM173 has been proved to be the only dock out in the market that is fully compatible with both the iPhone 3G and 2G.
UselessNovember 20, 2008 The features of this product are great...the problem is the clock constantly freezes and/or locks up. Twice the alarm did not go off because the clock had frozen. I returned the product for a replacement thinking maybe I got a dud. Well the replacement does the same thing. So I emailed the company to see what could be done. Three suggestions were given:
1. Make sure you are using the iPhone dock adapter (well duh) 2. Turn the power off before inserting the phone (well ok but not sure how this would help the clock freezing in the future...it wasn't freezing when I was putting the phone in). 3. Power cycle the clock to reset...(ok I do this EVERY time it freezes).
So bottom line works great to listen to music...but if you need a clock or an alarm (which is probably why you are looking at an ALARM CLOCK) then this is unreliable and completely useless...just like the company's support.
Very Pleased - Does exactly what I needed.November 16, 2008 I wanted a clock with a nice design capable of charging multiple iPod/iPhones. My main criteria was A) Black B) 3G compatible.
I can proudly say that this replaced my iHome non-3G Ver I clock with no negatives to speak of. We have multiple iPhones and iPods in this family and can never find an appropriate charger when needed. (ie - firewire for one, doesnt work with another, iPhone 3G wont charge off the same car charger as the 2G, etc.....)
This does it all and has a very intuitively designed clock and easy buttonology to figure out on the fly. This met my expectations considering I was contemplating the JVC version but the negative reviews had me a bit concerned.
The simply and basic concept of the magnet remote holder is genius!
iLuv iMM173 Alarm Clock and Dual Dock for iPod and iPhone 3G (Black)November 5, 2008 The product is great the music sounds awesome coming through the speakers whether, it is the radio, iphone's ipod, or pandora. The alarm works better than I expected as I thought it would just enhance the iphone's alarm, but it will play any song you have set in the ipod at the time. The remote is very responsive, and it is very simple to program. iLuv has made a solid product.
Almost Perfect - EDITEDOctober 12, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I was afraid that the iLuv Dual Dock would be too large for my end-table but it is the perfect size. I was also relieved to confirm that both docks will play and charge the 3G iPhone and newest iPods. The build quality is very high and the glossy plastic looks great but it is also a fingerprint magnet and hard to keep clean.
The reason I gave it 4 and not 5 stars is because I disagree with the other two reviews before mine that state that the sound quality was great. I think it sounds rather poor. I would rate the sound a 3 out of 5 at best. If I was using this for listening to music I'd send it back. It sound nothing even close to the Bose and Altec-Lansing iPod speakers i've listened to. Luckily I'm only using it as a clock, alarm and for listening to podcasts.
Note: It also comes with a nice remote that attaches to the back with a built in magnet.
EDITED: Since posting the review I've had the iLuv "crash", "lock up", "freeze" a few times. I need to be able to rely on my alarm and this is a real problem. The clock stays showing the time of the crash and all buttons stop functinoing. I have to power cycle the clock to get it going again. I'm going to call iLuv and see what they can do for me.
Nice iphone 3g radioOctober 7, 2008 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This thing sounds great. Works with Pandora streaming thru your 3G or home network to produce great sound. AUX jack out and in is nice too. Charges my iphone perfectly and I really like the radio alarm clock as the sound starts low and then goes higher. PROBLEM is the light. Even at the lowest level it puts off more light than I want. You can however turn the light totally off but then you have to touch the radio to see the time at 3 AM. Easy fix with some window tinting from Lowe's. The light probably won't bother most b/c there are 10 light settings so it's basically a flashlight at the highest level. But if you like cave darkness you'll have to make some adjustments. Other than the light this thing is a great little radio to have in any room and the speakers fill the room enough to listen to morning podcasts or radio/ipod/pandora. You won't be dissappointed!
