(More customer reviews)For the price, a bevy of great features, full bass and crisp sound quality compared to some of the other $100 radio alarm clock/charging docks, you really can't beat the iBoom from DLO.
I acquired the iBoom along with several other items from a Thing Fling Mystery Box [...] that I bought for $49.99. This was definitely the prized gem out of all of the items (about 10 or so).
The iBoom has a simple to follow dial located on the top left side of the unit that allows the user to set the time, alarm time, and turn the alarm on or off. The dial turns both clockwise and counterclockwise in 4 locking positions to complete any of the aforementioned functions. Located directly below the dial is a decently sized snooze/sleep button. DLO was wise enough to include a 3.5 mm audio jack for those who want to hook up the iBoom to other electronic devices for audio playback. This cable, while short, connects from the back of the unit where a 12/24 hour toggle switch and FM antenna are also located, along with a switch to detect DST settings based on your location. And another absolutely fantastic feature is the non-slip rubber grip pad located in the top-center of the device. This was a nice and welcome surprise. If you have the device placed on a angled surface this will ensure that your device does not slip off. Of course this is coupled with small rubberized feet located on the bottom of the device that locks the unit in place if it too, is placed on an angled surface. The dock itself is backed by nice & snug support wall so users don't have to worry about the connection breaking loose like the early iHome units suffered from. General functions are all centrally located on the right, top side of the device: wake to, listen to, track/hour volume/minute, and 4 separate preset buttons. The ultimate key feature is the back-light button located on the front of the device, directly to the left of the LCD. There are three presets for this button: bright, dim and off. The bright setting is nice as a great night light, while the dim setting is perfect for light sleepers and those who do not wish to illuminate the room with a cool blue glow. Aside from lighting up the LCD the light also shines through the lettering on the buttons, making reading in the dark relatively easy, while not being too overwhelming.
Users can wake to just about any iPod, as it supports quite a few, but just not the iPhone. However, I should mention that it will charge and playback when an iPhone is connected, it just doesn't support it as a "wake-to" device. Oh well. Had the device supported the iPhone I would have given it a 5/5. However, since it does not, it gets a solid 4/5. Definitely worth the price.
