iHome showcases iP29 / iP49 / iHMP5 iPod speaker systems

Posted Jan 8th 2009 11:29PM by Darren Murph

iLuv already dropped a bundle of iPod alarm clock / speaker systems here at CES, so it follows logic for yet another "i" company to dole out a helping of its own. Kicking things off is the iP29 portable speaker case, and stepping up the excitement level from zilch to one is the iP49 rechargeable audio system with alarm clock / FM radio for iPod and iPhone. Lastly, the iHMP5 two-in-one stereo speaker / headphone system enables users to listen in private or enter into "full speaker mode" for the posse to tune in. As with most everything else announced here at CES, pricing and availability have yet to be revealed.

I received the iP99BX as a Christmas gift, and was pleasantly surprised by the functionality, sound quality and the overall device. It's not completely intuitive to use, but after missing a couple of wake-ups and reading the instructions I really like it.

Anyway, my experience is that their stuff is decent quality for the money...

OMG CHINA! ENOUGH with the stupid iPod speaker/dock combos! The Circuit City in NYC has like 500 different ones. I think their buyer has a fetish or OCD.

Did anyone else read that as typical engadget humor:

When I first looked at this I was wondering why somebody put their iPhone in a George Foreman grill.

Does anyone actually use these? I mean when would you use it? The iPhone already has internal speakers, and then you have headphones.
