iLive IC2807BLK iPod Speakers with Portable Alarm Clock and Docking Connection with Remote Control and Carry Bag in Black

Product Description

The iLive Travel Docking System is an enhanced sound docking system for iPod® with front-firing acoustically calibrated speakers.

Amazon.com Product Description

An ideal unit for iPod listeners on the go, the iLive IC2807BLK speaker system is compact and easy to carry, with a diminutive housing that measures only 9.5 by 1.25 by 5.75 inches (W x H x D) when folded. As a result, you can take the system just about anywhere, from the backyard to the park to the campsite. The unit is equipped with an integrated iPod docking station that supports all iPods with 30-pin dock connectors, including the iPod 3G, iPod 4G (click wheel), iPod photo 4G, iPod video 5G/5.5G, iPod mini, and iPod nano 1G and 2G. More importantly, the unit produces a bigger sound than expected thanks to the front-firing, acoustically calibrated speakers. Simply pop your iPod into the dock and you'll receive crisp, satisfying sound wherever you go.

The IC2807BLK offers more than just an iPod dock, however. The system also sports a backlit LCD display with a digital clock and a built-in alarm, so you can wake up to your iPod while traveling. The 3.5 mm auxiliary input, meanwhile, lets you connect other audio players to the speakers, including an iPod shuffle, MP3 player, or portable CD player. Other details include a mini-USB jack for PC communication (includes USB cable); A/V output jacks for connecting an iPod photo or video to a TV; a full-function remote control (includes battery); and a bonus carrying pouch for easy transport. The IC2807BLK, which runs on AC power or four AA batteries (not included), weighs 2.5 pounds and is backed by a 90-day warranty.

2 out of 5 stars lots of positives but one BIG flaw.......2007-11-26

This ipod speaker system could have been great, except for its one big flaw. That one flaw being the alarm on this clock goes from what ever volume setting you have it at to max volume in about 4 seconds. The max volume is VERY loud. It more or less renders the alarm function useless in my opinion. 1 way around this problem is to use the alarm setting on the ipod itself and make sure you have the ilive set to the ipod setting before going to sleep. This way, the ipod alarm will activate and still play through the speakers. Although, this does eliminate the purpose of having an alarm on the speakers themselves.

Anyways, other than that, the best thing about this system is its remote. While most remotes allow you to change tracks, volume and turn the system on and off, this one allows complete control of the ipod. You can change tracks, change albums, change playlists and highlight tracks as if scrolling through the click wheel. I wish all remotes were this useful. Its also quiet compact and sounds pretty decent for 70 dollar speakers. Plus this thing can run off 4 AA batteries, which makes it nice for tailgates or parties.

I would say if you already have an alarm clock and want a decent set of portable speakers, pick this one up. most other systems in its price range dont offer the remote thats as useful as this one.

1 out of 5 stars Terrible Device.......2007-10-04

Earlier today I read the two reviews, and figured that they were exaggerating the volume problem. They aren't! Even at the lowest (#1) setting the volume of the alarm makes the unit unusable - unless you keep the alarm in a different room in the house from your bedroom, or hate your neighbors! Setting the alarm itself is a bit of a chore, and when it's in an open position, the unit doesn't lock in place so that moving it around requires more care than should be necessary.
On the good side the remote allows much more control than most other units of this type, and the sound is fair for this type of speaker. I visited the manufacturer's site with hopes of finding some help with this problem, but their info on this unit is even more misleading, claiming this unit comes "w/ Digital Clock & Gentle Alarm."

4 out of 5 stars Perfect mini-speakers.......2007-09-27

I found this at an Ultimate Electronics while looking for mini travel speakers for my iPod. The sound is typical of any tiny speaker set, but not bad. For the price of the JBL Onstage, you could buy 3 of these, and the sound's just as good! Anyway, it folds flat, comes with an elaborate little remote (battery included), power plug and USB cable, for watching movies on your laptop while on the road. It even comes with a little travel pouch for the speaker and the cables...Really a nice little package. But if you plan on using the alarm clock (I only trust the Blackberry + hotel staff), consider Alex's review that asserts that it is unusable. Room-filling power? Sure...If you're a good neighbor and the room is in a hotel. Rock on!

2 out of 5 stars in theory a good idea.......2007-07-29

I bought this at Fry's yesterday, and in theory the design is a great idea: Speakers that fold flat into a frame for easy travel, alarm clock function to be woken up with your own music, even video-out line to send your iPod videos to a TV or monitor... sound quality is acceptable...

Except here's the rub: the alarm function for whatever reason increases the volume at startup to max volume in about 5 seconds. At that level the sound is horrible and simply too loud... all the neighbors e.g. in a hotel would hate your guts, not to speak of your own sanity waking up. The point of the iPod alarm clock was to have control over your wake-up experience...

Couldn't find any manufacturer's info on fixing the problem.

Good idea, poor execution. I'll have to return it in the next few days.

5 out of 5 stars Well made a good performance.......2007-10-04

I have been running this speaker as my center channel for about one month now, and have been very impressed. The unit is very well made and fitting it is a breeze. Some others have commented about the color, which is strange in a speaker review, but the off white suits our decor fine anyway.

The overall performance of the speakers is great for the price range. It is extremely clear and crisp for vocal and higher frequencies yet it can also deliver rich deep tones.

If you are looking for a good center channel speaker in this price range I can highly recommend this JBL.

3 out of 5 stars Good sound, but tough to match decor.......2007-01-10

I ordered this as a center channel speaker and purchased HTI-6C round speakers for the fronts. Beware if you do this as they are not the same color. This speaker is slightly darker. The manual says they are paintable, but I don't want to risk it, especially doing the grills, so I am living with it for now. Those who obscess over such things, FTI. Other wise, the sound out of them and installation was great. Pass on the rough-ins though. It only takes 5 minutes to cut the hole and install.
