Emerson iTone iP500 Portable Audio System for iPods (Silver) Review


Total thumbs-down on this product. Sound quality was terrible, which surprised me, because other reviewers had had nice things to say about it. The straw that broke the camel's back was the adapter that was supposed to fit the iPod Nano. It simply did not work. The only way we could connect the Nano was without any adapter, and that didn't look or feel right, too fragile. I spent a little more on the Altec Lansing iM600, which sounds fantastic, although that product's clock/alarm clock, supposedly integrated to the iPod's, is bad engineering. for one, you set the alarm and you have to leave the unit on and there's a hum you have to listemn to all night. We're keeping the iM600 for the sound, but using a little clock radio for the alarm clock. Too bad we couldn't find a unit that did everything for the $100 we spent.

Buy it here now!
