I read and re-read the reviews for this product and bought it in spite of what some said. I am really glad I have this unit!
The Pros
THE PHONE: This works great with my blue tooth technology. The speakers are terrific on incoming calls and the people I spoke with said they could hear me well.
MP3: I have verizon, NOT ipod, and it works very well, again, awesome speakers, my phone has never sounded so good. There is a 3.5mm input that I plug in to my phone where I keep all my music.
ALARM CLOCK: I have set both alarms 1 and 2, and both work fine. I read that some people had trouble with the alarm clock. 1.) it is NOT too loud. It's a "gradual on" but does not seem to get any louder than the volume I have it set at. Good radio reception, and the mp3 wakeup is fine too.
2.) it seems that if one were to read the directions well enough, one would not have a problem with turning the alarm on or off. The snooze button is right on top! not difficult to find. Also, there is another alarm reset button that will automatically set it for the next day, that is pretty handy. Alarm 2 is for the buzzer only, I have yet to hear a "freaking bomb going off" unless if you don't have the radio station programmed properly....
REMOTE-- AWESOME! you can turn the alarm off, dial someone to call, change radio station, holy cow. it's great.
SETTINGS-- again, if you read the directions, you won't have a problem. The directions are in english and easy to understand.
con's-- don't really have any except the 3 AA batteries included were dead and I had to replace them right in the beginning.
Overall, this product is far more than what I expected. that could be because I have endured "bronze age" technology for so long with my previous clock, but I'm very happy with this one.

Graight Paried With my HTC Sprint Mogul

| I use this product paired with a HTC Sprint Mogul. Voice quality on the speaker phone is more than acceptable but not stellar. Where this product really shines is the stereo music function. I listen to a couple of audio books a week on my Mogul. With the IHC5S I can set a sleep timer before I go to bed which is the one function I missed from my iPod. Also works great with [..] if you are an XM subscriber. I used to bring my XM radio in from the car now I just use my Mogul and the IHC5S. |
Bluetooth works great

| Functions great. Bought it for the Bluetooth function to connect to my phone for music and calls. Sound quality isn't the like a concert system, not very loud, sounds somewhat flat, highs and base are not impressive. But I can connect to my phone and start playing music with 2 buttons. If a call comes in, the iHC5S will display the call and mute the music. Conversations are pretty clear, the mic picks up voice fine from a few feet away and I can hear the other side well. One last thing, should keep the cell couple of feet from the unit as it is not shielded from the phone signal waves. |
Good deal - Iphone

| I saw this item come up on [...] - I was looking for a speaker for my kitchen. The pairing to my iphone and the ability to receive calls through the system works great. The alarm clock portion is not that good. For [...] no tax and free ship. I recommend it. |
I LOVE THIS!!!

| I LOVE THIS PRODUCT. This is perfect if you want to listen to your MP3s from your iphone through bluetooth or to use it as a speakerphone. The bluetooth range is pretty good. I can change songs from the other room. The sound quality is good. I hooked up my laptop to it b/c the speaker quality is better & louder. |
