Amazon.com Product Description
The iHome iH30B Boom Box for iPods with FM Radio (Black) lets you listen to all your favorite iPod music or radio stations anywhere, with a fresh and modern twist on a boom box. This hip boom box can run on batteries, an AC outlet or a car adaptor so you can use it wherever you go, whether you are at home, camping or on the road.

The iH30B boom box has a sharp LCD radio display with an adjustable white backlight and a built-in telescoping antenna to bring you clear FM-band radio reception. The radio in this unit comes with six buttons for programming in your favorite FM stations and jumping to them quickly. The iH30B is simple to use, with easy to adjust settings, and comes with three removable inserts and a rubber pad to ensure your iPod fits properly in the iPod drawer, allowing it to be compatible with all iPod models from the iPod video to the iPod Nano. Not only is this unit designed to be sleek and portable, but it can be powered at home, in your car, or independent of plug-ins so you can take it with you anywhere. And when you are running low on battery, you can activate the power save switch to prolong your battery life by automatically shutting off after sitting unused for a period.

When the iH30B is powered by either the included AC adapter, or the included car adapter it automatically charges your iPod, but when you don't have access to an outlet it can run on eight C-cell batteries. This unit uses two stereo 4-inch speakers and a powerful stereo amplifier to provide you with a full, rich sound regardless of the volume level. This iHome boom box has a built-in audio input jack with an included patch cord for an external MP3 player, CD player, or other audio device, and has a headphone jack that allows you to listen to your music in privacy when the situation calls for it, as well as being remote-control capable (not included). The iH30B comes in a stylish black finish that complements both you and your iPod, measures 15.07 x 5.6 x 5.57 inches (W x H x D), and is backed by a manufacturer's limited 90-day warranty.

Customer Reviews

Radio Stations Reset when changing outlets
Thats my only complaint. I plugged and unplugged from same outlet in my room and it was fine, but once I went to another room I lost all my stations.
Its a nice little system though for the price though.
Big Plus unlike most systems your iPod is safely enclosed inside so if you are somewhere where it might get splashed, touched my little hands or you just don't want your ipod totally exposed its great. You do have to remove the clear plastic face to get to change your playlists though.
Another nice thing is that the little remote tucks nicely on top rear of unit under the handle.

Reliability less than expected
I bought these speakers mainly for the flexibility of power supply: 110V AC, 12V DC, or C batteries. Other nice features are the enclosed iPod dock that provides a bit of protection, FM radio, and the remote. The sound is not too bad, and the price is right. However, the unit I got started failing after less than 3 months. When turned on, it would play OK for a few minutes, then emit a horrible screech and then only noise. Fortunately I bought it at Costco, so I was able to return it without any hassles (I threw away the original box.)

If you decide to get it, keep the original box for at least a few months.

won't work on batteries
I got this and it works OK on AC although the sound quality is not as good as the Home (AC only) unit that I already have but I just tried it on batteries due a power failure and it doesn't work at all. It only comes with a 90 day warranty and you have to pay shipping to them plus $10 to ship it back to you. I would stay away from it.
