Alarm Clock Radio
Wake to a song on your iPod, the radio (AM/FM), or a buzzer, and enjoy the gradual wake and sleep feature that gently increases or decreases volume until you decide what to do. The dimmer feature can be used to lower or raise the brightness of the LED display. The iH55SR also boasts a "sure alarm" feature so in the event of a power failure, the buzzer alarm will still sound (if backup batteries are installed).
iPod Dock
The universal iPod dock plays and charges all docking iPod models, and includes inserts for a sure fit. Use the full-function remote control to control to jump tracks, adjust volume, change stations, hit snooze, and more.
Form and Function
The simple but elegant design isn't just for looks--the Tuned Reson8 speaker chambers will deliver rich, true sound, and the snooze button and control dial are big enough that even the groggiest should be able to operate them.
Line-In for External Devices
The iH55SR is also ready to be used with MP3 Players, CD players, or basically any other audio device connected via the rear 3.5-mm mini line-in jack.
What's in the Box
IHome IH55SR Clock Radio for iPod (Silver), remote control, AC adaptor, AM antenna, CD/MP3 Patch cord, 3 dock inserts (for iPod nano and iPod with video 30 GB, 60 GB, and 80 GB), 2 switchable face panels

"Does not work with 3G ipod as stated in the description" 2009-05-08By
CJWe ended up returning this item because the description regarding compatibility was not accurate. This would not work with the ipod that we wanted to use with it.
"one major design flaw" 2009-02-22By

at first i was very impressed with the iHome iH55SR. it boasted great sound, a nice remote, and simple controls in a sleek compact design. unfortunately, my delight turned to frustration shortly before bedtime when i realized the display was so bright it was as if a spotlight was shining into my bedroom. on the plus side the iH55SR does feature a dimmer which allows the owner to adjust the display's brightness. when on the medium setting the clock radio's display is a bit brighter than a child's night-light. however, unlike a night-light which is usually a warm color light (e.g. red, yellow, or orange) the clock's display is a cool blue which has a bigger impact in the dark. sadly, on the lightest setting the clock is barely readable, although this would not be an issue if the display would turn brighter when the alarm goes off. as it stands now i leave it on the medium setting when i go to bed, but i wish i would have just spent the extra $20 on the latest model.
"great sound, but too many other issues..." 2009-02-15By

This looks good, and the sound is really very good. Unfortunately, I decided to purchase in spite of some of the negative reviews here, and I experienced the same issues. I'm not able to get clear FM reception no matter how I arrange the antenna wire or move the clock around the room. And while the dimmable display is great, once it is dimmed you can't read it unless you are standing on top of it, so forget seeing the time once you are in bed.
"Exactly what I was looking for!" 2009-01-30By

One daughter loves pink, the other loves blue; one falls asleep to music, while the other is awakened by it; one likes a little light in her room at night, the other likes her room as close to pitch black as possible; they both love listening to their iPod Nanos, and they both needed a new alarm clock. This iHome product was exactly what we needed! The sound quality is amazingly good for being a small alarm clock; my girls love the fact that it charges their iPods as well as plays them; and the remote control allows them to easily access the basic functions of the unit while half asleep. I love the fact that this unit sets the time automatically, has a simple switch on the back to adjust for daylight savings time, and also a battery backup in case of a power outage. Both units have been functioning beautifully since Christmas day and were easily worth every penny we paid for them!
