The iH9 is an updated and improved successor to iHome's award-winning iH8 clock radio for iPod. The iH9 contains several new features requested by customers, including a remote that controls both the unit and iPod menu functions; controls for bass, treble, and balance; and 3D sound for an enhanced audio experience. iHome has updated the design to make the cabinet even sleeker and more user-friendly, as well as further enhanced the alarm settings--you can wake to your own custom iPod playlist at different times on different days.

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 setting means 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.
The alarm also boasts a number of features to ensure you get up in the morning. Battery backup means you'll still get up in the event of a power failure, and Alarm Reset turns off the alarm and automatically resets it for the same time the following day. If you select to wake to iPod but no iPod is docked, you're still covered--the iH9 will sound the buzzer instead.
Sleep Features
In designing the iH9, iHome paid special attention to the other end of the alarm clock equation--going to bed. Sleep to iPod 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 iH9'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.
Play and Charge Your iPod
The iH9's Universal dock plays and charges most docking iPod models (in addition to using them for alarms). So when you do finally wake up, your iPod will have a full charge as you head out the door.

The iH9 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 four AM, four FM1, and four FM2 presets.
Big Sound, Small Package
The iH9 delivers 6 watts of great sound, thanks to its high-fidelity stereo speakers in specially designed isolated speaker chambers. Dial in the bass, treble, and balance controls to get just the sound you want, or flip on the 3D setting for an immersive experience.

Simple alarm clock. Some of the annoyances get in the way:
* The dimmest setting is too bright. Must turn the backlight completely off at night unless I feel like reading.
* The control over the dimmer is the snooze. This means that when I hit the snooze button for any reason at night, I have to count out seven or eight more clicks to turn the backlight off again.
The biggest annoyance/nuisance is the buzz I hear when the speakers are on. I can be playing nothing through the docked ipod and still hear it. It doesn't seem to be dependent on the volume (much), so I can easily mostly drown it out, but it's the lowest quality sound I've ever seen on any speaker unit. Suitable for waking up. Going to sleep, sometimes the buzz bothers me.
Adjusting alarms is painful. The wheel may seem like a great idea, but that's not a great way to shift a time. Remembering which one is volume in ipod mode is also bothersome.
Would I buy this product again knowing what I know now? Absolutely not. Is it so bad I'm wishing I returned it? No.

Although the seller advertises that this items comes with a remote, it does NOT. The picture shows it, and it lists a remote in the description of what the iH9 comes with, but then an item called the iH9B6C is sent to you that does not come with a remote and some of the other descriptions. I feel I was ripped off because I could have gotten an iH9S6R for the same price BUT with more features such as an infared remote! Please be careful when buying this product and don't blow 90 dollars on this unless you know what this item actually has and does not have.

Pros: good sound on Ipod touch 2G (prob. good on others as well but I can't say), very adjustable settings on the alarm clock and sleep functions.
Cons: Horrible radio quality (I spent almost half an hour trying to find a spot to put the antenna before I gave up), short AC cable, NO REMOTE, can't take out ipod dock inserts, unstable ipod placement.
when i received my ihome the first thing i noticed was the shortness of the AC adapter cord. The cord hardly made it to the floor and then i had to run an extension cord all the way around the room to plug it in.
Next I had to pick a dock insert that would fit my ipod. Picking the insert was easy, getting it out when my friend came over and wanted to plug his ipod in was not so much. We tried everything short of prying it off with a knife (and we would have if i wasn't thinking of returning it). The dock inserts also were not very stable. Whenever i put my ipod on the stand i felt like i was going to break it one way or another. Other than the limited radio reception that after reading other reviews everyone seems to have trouble with the only problem was that the remote specified in the product details didn't come in the box and I bought it new. This became very annoying whenever a song I didn't like came on and I had to reach up to my ipod on top of the ihome to change the song. Some of you may be saying that i was just being lazy, but this got very annoying very fast.
