The iHome iP1's chunky glass panel may be an acquired taste visually, but we rather like it. Aside from its striking looks, the iP1’s big draw is its Bongiovi Acoustic DPS technology. This is designed to enhance the sound output of compressed audio fil...

At first I would like to thank Eurotronics (iHome Distributor in Europe) for sending me a sample of the iP1 Studio Series Audio System for iPhone/iPod. About Eurotronics: Eurotronics EOOD is a leading provider of supply chain solutions and distrib...

If the iHome brand seems familiar, it’s probably because you’ve seen or heard their products at your favorite large-scale retailer. In 2005 iHome began making affordable clock radios for the iPod and since then has expanded their product line to includ...

Striking design; good voicing; enhancement sounds good with rock and pop music.
Music is sometimes unnatural and harsh; consistent fuzzy sound below music.
The iP1 is visually striking, and its digital enhancement of compressed music is helpful with some genres. But there are other speaker docks that produce a more natural sound, and I was annoyed by the fuzzy hum underlying the music on the iP1...

Bongiovi DPS technology brings some serious rock cred to your iPhone or iPod. We’re amazed how many iPod speaker docks these days still won’t play nicely with the iPhone--it’s been two-and-a-half years, people! Which is one of the reasons we’re so exci...
Finally, an iPod speaker dock that doesn't look like something from Radio Shack circa 1987. Great sound. Component video outs.
Not as loud as we might have liked. Temperamental remote.
The iP1 offers big sound for a home office or other small space. The "Bon Jovi" button seriously rocks.iP1...

These days you have to create something pretty compelling to ask 300 bucks for an iPod speaker dock, and iHome delivers with its iP1. A dramatic departure not only from the company’s previous designs, but iPod speaker docks in general, it features audi...

I really liked the iHome IP1. I admired its simple and stylish design, and its ease of use. Best of all, I liked its sound. No, this little guy won’t blow away your home theater speakers, but its warm, clean sound is a welcome surprise for this product category and price point.

Given the iHome iP1s high price ($299.99 direct), this iPod/iPhone dock had better sound magnificent and come with an excellent remote control. One out of two aint bad: The remote features full iPod navigation. But iHomes promise that the push of...
Sleek, unique design. Full iPod navigation on remote. Bass and treble controls. Component video out.
"Bongiovi DPS" is a silly gimmick. Bass distorts at high volumes.
The iP1 is a solid-sounding iPod/iPhone dock, but at $300, we expect better performance at high volumes—and if you think the "Bongiovi DPS" effect sounds like a gimmick, it is...

iHome, by comparison, has never released a $300 iPod or iPhone sound system before, and we had frankly been very concerned that the company might be out of its depth. It has done extremely well with sub-$150 clock radios, but struggled with both the l...
