Product Description

iHome's iP99 was designed with iPhone users in mind, engineered to shield and avoid annoying iPhone/mobile phone GSM noise. That means no "airplane mode," so you won't miss calls while your iPhone is docked. Also, the iP99 is packed with lots of innovative features, including alarm settings to complement your lifestyle so you can wake to your own custom iPhone playlist at different times on different days, a remote that controls the unit and iPod menu functions, AM/FM radio with presets, programmable snooze settings, and SRS WOW for an enhanced audio experience. With iHome's Reson8 speaker chambers, you'll be able to enjoy great stereo sound around the clock.

iPod, Radio or Buzzer Alarm
Wake to your docked iPod, the radio, or--if you must--a classic buzzer alarm. Whichever you choose, a gradual alarm feature gently raises the alarm volume, so it's not too jarring. Dual alarm lets you set separate wake times.

The 7-5-2 alarm settings mean you can set separate wake times, either for every day or separate weekday/weekend times. You also can wake to the playlist or song of your choice.

Sleep Features
In designing the iP99, iHome paid special attention to the other end of the alarm clock equation--going to bed. Sleep to iPod, iPhone, or radio, with programmable sleep times of 120, 90, 60, 30, or 15 minutes. Gentle Sleep gradually decreases the music volume as you drift off to dreamland.

What's more, an Adjustable Sleep volume solves an old alarm clock problem, allowing you to select a comfortable "sleep" volume level without affecting the "wake to" or listening volume levels.

Programmable Snooze
The iP99's programmable snooze feature allows you to set snooze intervals of 1 to 60 minutes, so you can milk every last second of sleep before you're late for work or class.

Play and Charge Your iPod or iPhone
The iP99's Universal dock plays and charges most docking iPod models (in addition to using them for alarms), along with the iPhone. So when you wake up, your device will have a full charge as you head out the door.

Quick Time Zone and DST Switch
Traveling or moving with your iP99? Adjust the preset time to any of seven different time zones at the touch of a button. Ditto on that pesky Daylight Savings Time.

AM/FM Radio
The iP99 delivers solid radio listening with PLL digital tuning, an external AM antenna for better reception, and built-in Automatic Frequency Control (AFC) for enhanced FM reception.

Save your favorite stations on the six AM or six FM presets.

Big Sound, Small Package
The iP99 delivers powerful audio with stereo drivers in specially designed Reson8 speaker chambers.

Reson8 is iHome's through-body ported speaker chamber technology. Porting speakers gives better bass response characteristics, and helps the iP99 deliver sound beyond its size.

Auxiliary Input
Connect external devices like MP3 or CD players to the rear auxiliary input for your enjoyment.

Full-Function Remote Control
Enjoy convenient control from a distance with the included remote--control both radio and iPod functions.

What's in the Box
iP99 Clock Radio and Audio System, Remote control, Docking inserts, AC power adapter, AM antenna and stand, Owner's manual.

Exactly what I needed
 
Review Date: December 21, 2008
Reviewer: T. M. Williams, The South
I received the IHome IP99BR about three weeks ago. I've used it as an alarm clock, for charging my Iphone and listening to the ipod portion of the iphone. Every night the iphone charges on the IP99BR. There has been no hint of interference from the iphone. This was my major concern, and other reviewers frankly scared me. But this has not been a problem at all for mine. I am pleased with the sound from this machine. It's not a top line stereo, but it's far better than the typical clock radio. I heartily recommend this device.
really nice dual voltage clock to wake to your ipod

Reviewer: pumpkin,
I wanted to wake up to a specific playlist on my ipod which it does, very well. Most importantly for me it wakes up to the volume that you leave it at when you switch it off so it doesnt frighten the heck out of you in the morning. Its dual voltage so I can play it overseas (important for you fellow APO customers!). Excellent product. I like that you can select a 5 day alarm that only goes off weekdays. sound quality is great. The display dims and also switches off if you are extra sensitive to light. super. Nice little remote too.


I notice a lot of people complaining about the clunky volume buttons----I just use the very nice remote to change the volume. Much easier and smoother and it comes with a battery already installed. This also lets you control the ipod (menu, playlist selection etc) without getting out or leaning out of bed :)
Works with iPhone 4!!

Reviewer: midd,
I am happy to report that my iPhone 4 will charge and play music on this unit! I guess I took a gamble and this one paid off. The best part of this unit is that I will be able to stream my iTunes library through the line in port in the back with an Airport Express Base station!

I haven't had time to play with the iHome unit itself except to set the clock and alarm. The unit appears to have been well constructed. I will post an update as I get more use out of it.
Great Product
 
Review Date: November 24, 2008
Reviewer: J. Shiring, Dayton, OH United States
Almost Perfect Alarm clock! Two minor things to note and one change I would recommend. I have some nature sound recordings that I wanted to use (waves, rain, that kind of thing) If the alarm clock doesn't pick up a track playing at a certain volume (decibel range?) it replaces the track with the electronic beeping, so if you have your own track of progressive sounds you wish to wake up to, it may not work if it is outside of the parameters the alarm clock accepts. I understand they want to make sure your alarm clock wakes you up, but I'd like to have the flexibility to play any track I want to wake up to (works fine with all the music I've tried, not sure about spoken word). This was somewhat of a disappointment, but it is a great product, maybe this feature will be in a future upgrade.

Another thing that was unexpected, the iHome playlist you select isn't the playlist it uses...the playlist just has to exist to activate the iPod, but isn't used by the alarm clock. It will play whichever song you have playing or the next song in the playlist of shuffle when the alarm comes on.

Aside from these two minor issues, which I point out to make other aware, I'm very pleased with the product, best alarm clock I've ever owned. So much more pleasant to wake up gently.
A Great Product from an Ipod Touch 2G prospective
 
Review Date: June 5, 2009
Reviewer: Hannah M. Henson, Ohio, USA
This iHome product was a great investment for me. It's recommended for the iPhone, but I use it for the ipod touch 2G and it works perfectly. In the box, it came with a remote, inserts for the iphone, ipod nano, and ipod touch, as well as simple, easy instructions to follow. I recommend this product to anyone looking for a small, light weight docking system. The shipping on this item was great as well. It was at my door two days after I ordered it online with standard shipping charges. I like this product from an ipod touch 2G prospective, not the iPhone. It does have nice features for the iPhone, however.
