Product Description

2.1-CH MUSIC SYSTEM

Amazon.com Product Description

A great gift for iPod owners everywhere, the iLive IBCD3817DTBLK portable boombox integrates a built-in iPod docking station with a slot-loading CD player and AM/FM tuner, making it a true all-in-one portable audio system. The unit starts with the iPod dock, which plays and charges your iPod 3G, iPod 4G (click wheel), iPod photo 4G, iPod video 5G and 5.5G, iPod mini, and iPod nano 1G and 2G. The CD player, meanwhile, supports CD, CD-R, and CD-RW formats, letting you listen to any CD tracks that you haven't yet uploaded to your iPod, along with a friend's CDs. Finally, you can catch up on the news, listen to the game, or catch a commercial station via the AM/FM tuner, which offers a number of station presets for easy channel surfing.

The IBCD3817DTBLK owes its high-quality 2.1-channel sound to its pair of front-firing stereo speakers and dual subwoofers, which combine to produce a rich audio performance with a surprisingly deep bass response for such a compact unit. Also adding to the audio quality is a built-in equalizer with several preset settings, including rock, pop, jazz, classic, and DBBS. And thanks to the full-function remote control, you can control the CD player and iPod from a distance. Other details include a sleek black housing; a six-digit blue backlit LCD display with a digital clock and timer; CD track programming; a 3.5 mm auxiliary input for connecting other audio players, like an iPod shuffle or MP3 player, an audio/video output for connecting an iPod photo or video to a TV; a stereo HP jack; and a comfortable carrying handle. The iLive boombox, which runs on AC power or eight D-size batteries (not included), measures 18.8 by 8.8 by 9.2 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a 90-day warranty.

5 out of 5 stars It was a gift... .......2007-11-12

It was a gift... he liked it a lot... we had seen another friend with that same boombox except this one was white... :)
Thanks.

3 out of 5 stars A little disappointing.......2007-11-05

The sound quality falls off quickly at higher volume.
Has a healthy appetite for batteries - 8 "D" cells at a time.

3 out of 5 stars iLive Portable Boombox.......2007-09-14

I have been very disappointed with the iLive Portable Boombox...the sound is very distorted and doesn't have a true stereo sound. A regular boombox from Wal-Mart has a better sound than this.

1 out of 5 stars Lots of features, but awful sound quality.......2007-09-02

I bought this to take on my boat. The small size, broad feature list, great price, and decent Amazon reviews convinced me this was the right product. Unfortunately, this product failed miserably in the most important area: Sound Quality.

The sound is very thin and tinny. No bass, even with the built in bass enhancer set to the maximum. I set my iPod EQ to Bass Enhancer and this didn't help either. Believe me when I say I tried everything, i.e. various built-in EQs and iPod settings, but could not get acceptable sound. My wife (who admits she does not have an ear for detail) said the sound was just plain awful.

On the plus side, returning the product was easy. Amazon even covered the shipping costs. I simply selected "Does not meet my quality expectations" as the reason for returning it. I was surprised when the message appeared on my browser saying "Since this was our fault, we'll cover shipping", or something similar to that.

Bottom line, if you don't care about sound quality, then this is the box for you. On the flip-side, if you have even a slightly good ear for sound, then stay away.

2 out of 5 stars very disappointed by this box.......2007-08-26

I was really looking forward to this being the solution I've wanted for listening to my iPod out loud, and also updating to a newer radio & CD player.

The CD player seemed adequate, though I didn't use it much No mp3 discs capacity, which I was a little disappointed to learn. But then after considering that it would play my iPod, I decided that wasn't going to be that much of a loss. Upon further reflection, I think it should be able to do that, it would be nice to get the same songs playing in shuffle via disc, then I could leave my iPod at home. I suppose that feature is left off to reduce cost.

Changing modes and inputs was difficult to figure out. There's a switch that affects the treble/bass, I think it's called ODDB, something like that (I've already returned the unit, sorry.) There's also 4 preset EQ settings to cycle through, 5 I suppose if you count "none". The bassiest one, Rock, still didn't get it there. Perhaps because of the CD player's inclusion? that they've designed this with so little bass response, but it just sounds flat and plastic-y, woefully inadequate. There's grill coverings on both ends so I thought it had side speakers too, but there aren't actually speakers behind them.

The iPod functions great with this. Considering that's the main purpose I planned to use it, it doesn't make any sense that there's so little low end bass output.

Lastly, once I *finally* figured out how to get to AM radio, in order to listen to THE WORLD CHAMPION ST. LOUIS CARDINALS broadcasts, it just flat out sucks. KTRS here in St. Louis is not that powerful of a station, but even dialing in 50K watt KMOX, it still was not a clear reception. That's pathetic, folks.

I thought the remote would be a nice tool, but it needed to be aimed DIRECTLY at the reception area, wherever that was. Pointing it from 2 feet away from above got no response. It needs to be exactly level with it on the ground, so apparently there's a line-of-sight that needs to be achieved for any remote functionality.

But the speakers lacking of bass is by far the weakest thing about this box.
