 RUBBISH & UNBEARABLE SOUND ! - LIGHT SLEEPER BE AWARE !! August 28, 2008

2 out of 3 found this review helpful
Lots of features but no punch on sound even w/ 'Bass Booster' equalizer on iPod.
Sound lacks decent punch but that's only to be expected for the size and price.
Unbearable to listen on/above 25 vol. (max is 40!).
It kept us awake all night w/ interference (loud) noises every now and then.
An irritating buzz , like morse code.
After 2-3 days it is unbearable to listen to a cheap & plasticky sound.
So too expensive for what delivers. (which isn't much).
 I love my iLuv i177 July 20, 2008

I have recently been looking into purchasing an Docking Alarm Clock system for my iPod Classic for quite a couple of weeks now as I have been getting tired of listening to same old radio show day in day out.
The iLuv is actually my second iPod alarm clock I have purchased now after originally deciding to buy a iXSRE ID18L which was quickly returned for a refund after being a total let down of gigantic proportions. I found the iXSRE to be very tempremental suffering from issues such as: failing to recognise my iPod Classic half the time when it was docked, Alarm failing to go off & even when it did I found it miles too quite & the Backlight being far too bright (honestly, it still lit up the room on the lowest setting & I really dont like having to switch the back light off completely)
I am releaved to say that these issues are something which the iLuv i177 certainlly does not suffer from.
Overall looking at the alarm clock, it is quite clear that the manufactures have designed the unit with a great deal of attention to every detail.
Pros:
1) Sound quality is absolutely superb. The volume of the iLuv ranges from 0 - 40 and even when boosted right up to the later, the sound quality is absolutely crystal clear with no sign of distortion. I can truthfully say that the sound quality is so clear that I could quite happily use this little system in place of my big stereo as it has the added bonus of your entire music collection being right at your fingers,
2) The time & alarm clock are easy and straight forward to set up that no manual is really required.
3) The iLuv features 2 x Alarm settings which really comes in handy so I can set one for week days at 7:00 and the other for the weekend at 10:00 with both at different volumes (obviously with the week days being loudest)
4) The alarm clock comes on at roughly volume 10 and can be set to gradually build up to a a pre-set volume cap of your choice which goes right up to 40, this feature is quite handy as the iXSRE only went up to the default level of 18 meaning you then hand to crank it up further manually.
5) The back light has 4 settings of which even the brightest is not a distraction when trying to nod off.
6) As an added bonus the iLuv i177 also comes complete with a component av-lead which allows you to watch the videos stored on your iPod on your tv, which is handy for owners of the Video & iPod Classic models.
7) The system comes packaged which a docking attachemenet for ever type of iPod released to ensure you player fit nice and secure.
Cons:
There is only one minor con I could think of which is
1) Unfortunately the remote control only features basic features such as: Power, Band/Radio Select, Aux, Snooze/Dimmer, Play/Pause, Previous/Next Track, Volume & Volume Down. A lot of other systems I have seen feature more remote functions such as enter menus, equalizer select and more. I would say this is only a minor gripe realy, but the i177's older brother the i277 does actually feature more remote functions, so it would have been nice to have.
Before I close my review, I have to comment on a couple of reviewers which have expressed problems with the iLuv i177 whilst being used with the iPod Classic
After reading the comments regarding the problems regarding using the system with the iPod Classic, I decided to visit iLuv's website to see what trouble shooting tips they had in the event of experiencing problems and here's what they have to say.
"Please update your iPod classic, iPod nano 3rd Gen to the following iPod software version(s) for the alarm function to operate.
iPod classic (80GB / 160GB): Version 1.0.2 or higher
iPod nano 3G: Version 1.0.2 or higher.
On i177 (only), the alarm function is not currently compatible with iPod touch. This is not a defect and is expected to be addressed in future iPod software updates"
Lucky enough my iPod Classic is software version 1.1.2PC so I have experienced no probs at all, but if you do I recommend making sure you have the latest software version and it should be ok.
The only thing I have to concern myself now is which album or playlist to wake myself up with each day :D
All in all, I would say that I think iLuv have produced a fantastic little iPod docking alarm in the i177 and I would definitely recommend it to anybody looking to wake up to their favourite tunes.
 Quality good but a few points to note... July 19, 2008

As mentioned on other reviews, the quality of the system is great, however, I ordered the item in white and a black unit arrived. It was gift wrapped so I didn't know until the birthday girl opened her gift. I was a bit disappointed that amazon could get such a simple detail wrong.
The other point to note is the power adaptor comes with a 2-pin plug. The type normally reserved for electric shavers and tooothbrushes. Fortunately we had an adaptor Euronetwork Shaver Adaptor that would allow us to plug the unit into a standard 3-pin UK socket. If buying this as a gift for someone, please make sure you either buy an adaptor or another UK plug and rewire the adaptor to avoid disappointmnet on xmas or birthday morning. There's nothing worse than having a gift that you can't even plug in!
Aside from the wrong colour and the weird plug, the sound is great and the remote is a great bonus for an alarm clock/ipod dock.
Excellent! May 22, 2008

Hello, i recently bought this item after spending ages searching for something similar, eventually i chose this! It's brill looks nice sounds good and matching me new nano! it's comes with all different adapters so you can fit your ipod in snug no matter how old or new it is! And you even get the attachments for the tv so you can connect it up. The only downside is there is three settings for the light on the clock but the dimmist is still too bright but you can switch it off if needed but means you can't see the time if you wake in the night! But overall this item is fantastic and i would highly recommend to any lookers!
