iHOME 2.1 Micro Bookshelf Stereo System With Subwoofer For iPod

its true what other reviews mention in that it is pretty loud and clear for its size. The speakers do a great job and I can listen to music while in the other room. I love listening to my iPod any time of the day in my house. Although the quality of sound isn't comparable to say a standard sound or theater system which I also have in my room. I love waking up to the ease of the gradual wake feature and hearing my playlist. It doesn't take much room on my night stand and is almost as small as my last alarm clock. It comes with short and long cables for the speakers so you can keep them stacked or spread the speakers out. The remote is a convenient feature as well as the additional snooze button on the left speaker. Bright display at night? Personally I like the white, but if its too much you have a dimmer that gives you like a dozen display settings at the push of a button. My only gripes are that you have to bend down to see details on the display (my other clocks had a tilted display for better viewing) and i had the wrong idea for the sleep function. I guess it is meant to play music for the set amount of time, then turn off instead of using it as a "napping" feature. Also when the alarm is set to wake to your iPod,every time you hit the snooze the display on iPod lights up which is a tad annoying. Other than that, its a wonderful all in one i-pod charger & player / alarm clock / stereo for the room with great sound.
