iHome iW2 AirPlay Speaker Video Review

Here's what I mean. The iW2 has a similar appearance to the AirZone, with rounded sides and slightly smaller dimensions. But it lacks a display and uses an App, iHome Connect, to setup the speaker on your network. That means you don't have to fuss with...

iHome iW2 AirPlay Speaker Review

We've now reviewed 3 AirPlay speakers. Well, two actually, this is the third - the iHome iW2. It's closer in looks to the Gear4 AirZone speaker, but functionally closer to the Logitech UE Air Speaker.

iHome iW2 AirPlay Speakers fit Smaller Environments with Decent Sound

The new iHome iW2 AirPlay speaker system streams your audio from an iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch fitting nicely into a smaller environment like your office, a kitchen or on a shelf at work or home. The sound could be better but for anyone looking for...

AirPlay products cost more than they should! I’m sure it’s a licensing problem. The iHome iW2 retails for $199 . You can find them for $177 at Amazon which feels better. iHome offers cheaper Bluetooth speakers of the same quality, like the iDM15, which...

WiFi wireless speaker system with great sound

This speaker is a great option for those with a WiFi network. The iW2 works with your WiFinetwork to play music wirelessly using Airplay. Airplay is a standard supported by Apple iTunes and all i-devices. We found that the iW2's beauty is in it's...

Great sound ; Sleek compact design ; Easy to control music ; Accessible app settings

Network can be hard to connect to ; iHome Set app works but iHome Connect is flaky ; Not as many features as other iHome speakers
