Philips DCM230 and iHome iH8 iPod Clock/Radios

 

We take a look at two iPod Clock/Radios vying for your attention this Christmas.

Of the two docks, the Philips DCM230 certainly has it in the looks department, and you might very well be tempted if you want to throw CD playback into the mix, while the USB port is a great feature too. However, the sound quality just isn't acceptable...

The "Poor Man's 'Bose Wave' Stereo"? (Philips' DCM230: Forerunner to the DCM250)

 

GENERAL DISCUSSIONYou might justly ask why—in early 2011—I bought this mid-2008 "Bose Wave wannabe." Well, contiguous with my home's billiard room, there's a doorless little snack bar with a vending machine, a ...

Affordability. Compactness. Remote control. Satisfyingly clear, dynamic sound (via CD's/FM). Useful (albeit not-quite-so-good-sounding) USB-drive port

Hard-to-read LCD. Incompatible with some iPods. Glossy-plastic top (or shiny-metal grille) easily scuffed (or dented)

Great Buy.

 

Just opened it, and loved it automatically. Great base and just amazing over all. iPod compatible, radio, MP3, CD player, just about everything. Definitely buy this docking system.

Amazing sound for the size!!!

 

I was going for the Bose Companion speakers w/ a subwoofer, but since I don't have the money for those babies yet, I shopped around RadioShack & saw this beauty! Luckily I had my iPod w/ me, and instant love! The sound bumps for any bedroom and a...

Bust A Move

 

So, I sat in the Target store with my iPod and listened to every single docking station that was plugged in. Other than the Bose system, this unit was by far the best sounding unit. I love it! I have tried all different Genres of music and all of them...
