Striking design ; Good voicing ; Enhancement sounds good with rock and pop music
Music is sometimes unnatural and harsh ; Consistent fuzzy sound below music
Visually striking iPod dock with digital enhancement helps some music but makes other tunes sound unnatural and harsh.

iHome iP1
Arresting design; component video outputs for iPod video; line-in jack; good sound quality; GSM shielding for optimal iPhone compatibility.
Somewhat pricey; no built-in radio or alarm; not great with softer, acoustical tracks.
The iHome iP1 may not sound great with all types of music, but this striking iPod/iPhone speaker system will appeal to listeners who gravitate toward pop, hip-hop, rock, and electronica.

Given the iHome iP1's high price ($299.99 direct), this iPod/iPhone dock had better sound magnificent and come with an excellent remote control. One out of two ain't bad: The remote features full iPod navigation. But iHome's promise that the push of a...
Sleek, unique design. Full iPod navigation on remote. Bass and treble controls. Component video out
Bongiovi DPS" is a silly gimmick. Bass distorts at high volumes
The iP1 is a solid-sounding iPod/iPhone dock, but at $300, we expect better performance at high volumes—and if you think the "Bongiovi DPS" effect sounds like a gimmick, it is.

iHome's $300 iP1 has a slick design and a great remote, but it stumbles on bass at high volumes.

Expert review by : Edward N. Albro (macworld.com)
The iP1 is visually striking, and its digital enhancement of compressed music is helpful with some genres. But there are other speaker docks that produce a more natural sound.
iHome says that the iP1 uses “a complex chip-based algorithm” developed by Bongiovi Acoustics to restore “harmonics, brightness, clarity and presence” while also boosting the bass. How well does the technology work? To my ears, it sometimes works a...

The style of the iP1 is a cool idea, but it probably could have been better. Because of the minimalistic design, some practical stuff like a case and/or a handle to assist with moving were not implemented. The sound is better than expected. It reaches...
Good quality sound, convenient to use with iPhone/iPod, better price than competitor's like Bose, Design is cool
Not really easy to carry or move, has a power 'brick' that is cumbersome and unnecessary, lacks a little in sound dynamics

I purchased this for one intention to listen music outside. It has succeeded and provided great volume. You can hear the music from the iPod across the backyard while I'm grilling with friends and running around with the kids. My original one I believe...
