Wake or Sleep to iPodWaking up to your favorite music is a great way to start the day. The iHM16 lets you wake to your iPod, gradually increasing the volume so as not to jar you out of sleep too forcefully. If there is no iPod present or there is no music detected on the iPod at alarm time, the iH16 will automatically switch to buzzer alarm, to make sure you get there on time. The requisite nine-minute snooze is also included, since it takes some of us a little longer to get out of bed.

You can adjust the sleep timer from 90, 60, 30 or 15 minutes, and the sleep features a volume setting independent from the alarm volume.

Charge Your iPodWhile you're recharging in your sleep, your iPod's filling up on electricity, so when you hit the pavement your iPod will be ready to go.

Dimmer SettingsThe snooze button also changes the dimmer, so you can adjust the display to your desired brightness. Choose from three settings.

Sure AlarmProvided you have installed four "AA" batteries, you'll still make it to work in the event of a power outage, thanks to iHome's "Sure Alarm" backup feature.

Quality SoundThe iHM16 delivers great sound thanks to iHome's specially designed Reson8 speaker chambers. Reson8 is iHome's through-body ported speaker chamber technology. Porting speakers gives better bass response characteristics, and helps the iiHM16 deliver sound beyond its size.

Auxiliary InputThe iHM16 features a standard 3.5mm "mini" jack, so you can connect MP3 players, CD players, or most any other audio device.

Three Tasty ColorsGet an iHM16 to suit your style--available in lilac, gray, or blue.

Costumer Reviews

It stopped working after few months. What more can be said? Their customer service is a joke, and their employees are rude. Don't bother with the reviews written by their workers. Notice how many people are having the same exact problem after using it for a period of time, as opposed to the people who have just pulled it out of the box and used it. It works out of the box, yes, but it stops working after a few months and you are left with a product that ihome no longer cares about you owning.

I bought this several months ago, and it seems to be slowly deteriorating. For some reason I cannot figure out, the iPod will NOT stay on while docked. It turns off by itself after anywhere from 2-20 minutes. I don't know about you, but I want to listen to my music for ALAWYS more than 2 minutes, and OFTEN more than 20. Between myself (a digital artist), and my boyfriend (a computer programmer), we cannot get it to work properly. Actually, shouldn't an "on/off" button be pretty foolproof? Well, it's not. I left my ipod off the dock, and it will play for around 10 HOURS before it runs out of battery, and I've tried it on other docks, so the power failures are DEFINITELY THIS SYSTEM'S FAULT. It started happening during the alarm cycle as well. This means, if you set an alarm to wake up to your ipod IT WILL NOT STAY ON FOR THE ENTIRE HOUR UNTIL THE ALARM STARTS BUZZING. I.E. The alarm doesn't work anymore either. I noticed this is a "Wal-mart" brand while looking for a new solution at the store, and I think the low quality really shows. I don't even use it everyday, which makes it extra sad that it can't handle the light tasks at hand. The adjustable backlight also seems to be fading, as I can't read it as well now as when I first purchased it (less than 1 year ago). For the same price, you can get a better dock by another brand.
