Emerson iTone iP500 Portable Audio System for iPods
Product Description
Made For iPOD® Portable Stereo System With Digital Tuning AM/FM Stereo Radio And Remote ControlAmazon.com Product Description
The Emerson iTone iP500 Portable Audio System is a compact, portable system that allows you to dock any iPod available as of January 2006 (including iPod Shuffle, iPod nano, and iPod Mini) and play it through the built-in speakers. Because your iPod connects directly to the front-mounted docking system, this system is ideal for when you want to share your music with others, or for those times when listening through your ear buds is simply not an option. This system also features a digital clock and radio system with a full function remote control, as well as a folding bracket that lets you mount the iTone iP500 on a wall or below a cabinet. And thanks to the USB connector, you can connect your iPod shuffle, while the included AC adapter lets you connect the system to an AC outlet and charge the battery of any iPod.
It’s a breeze to customize the iTone iP500 according to your personal preferences. The digital turner automatically scans the AM and FM bands and locks in stations perfectly with no repetitive fine tuning required. And you can save 30 of your favorite stations (15 AM and 15 FM) in the preset memory tuner for immediate recall at the touch of a button. The digital clock allows you to fall asleep and wake up to the radio or your iPod and a full function remote control makes for extremely convenient operation. If you need a little extra sleep, simply press the snooze button. With an illuminated, unified LCD display, this system makes sure you can always clearly see the time. Wide-range, three-inch speakers deliver a crystal clear, high-quality sound experience.
The iTone iP500 can be operated on six “AA” batteries (plus two “AA” for clock and turner memory back up; batteries not included) or normal I20V AC house current (AC adaptor included). There’s even an included an auxiliary input jack so you can connect other MP3 players, personal CD players, or any other external device that has a headphone jack.
The iTone iP500 comes with a 90 day warranty.

I went for this speaker system after looking at lots of others. Overall I am very happy with this item. Sounds good, easy to use, lightweight. My only complaint is that the clip for the nano will not fit. The nano will fit in the clip, but the nano will not attach to the plug with the clip on it. The nano is secure for the most part, but if you plan on doing a lot of traveling with the speakers you should procede with caution. If you are looking for good sound and a good price, then this is it.

This is a very portable Ipod player (which is just what I needed for my hubby). It has an alarm and plays the radio or ipod. It has great sound, not tinny at all. It’s great because it can run off of batteries or the wall charger (which also charges your ipod). The only thing I wish it has was a treble and bass equalizer options, but this is really a great product.

This is a great way to utilize your iPod. It easy to set up, portable, and the sound is excellent for the price you pay. I highly recommend this for anyone with an iPod.

I bought this item to replace my GE Space Maker CD am/fm radio. It’s very light weight and sounds great for a small boom box. I have a newer itouch 3G and it does not charge it. I was not listed as compatable but I liked it so much, I did not send it back. The am stations sound pretty good too.
I have not mounted it under my cuboards yet since I’m always bringing it outside and in different places in the house. The only con is that it does not charge my ipod, but I can live with that it only takes 30 min or so to charge it and I only seem to charge it a couple of times a week. Nice little remote control too!

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.
