iHome iPad/iPod/iPhone Speaker/LED Desk Lamp With Organizer (White) Review

Customer Ratings:

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program First of it has a lamp that works very good.

I think he likes the iPOD attachments. It plays OK but not going to give that BIG BASS.

It does not charge but my kids charge their iPOD on the computer so no so big a deal.

The organizer holds lots of little stuff like pens, pencils and other stuff you might need doing homework.

It plugs in to the wall and is very convenient!

When I first opened the iHome, it looked pretty cool. It's very modern. Some of the things I disliked were that the touch sensitive light switch was hard to use as it didn't recognize my finger, and it usually takes me about 5 seconds to turn the light on and off. I didn't find the dimming feature until I experimented with it a little bit more. There is a little hole next to the stem of the light for storing the audio jack, which is cool, but if the cord is pugged in without a music player plugged in the other end, it makes a buzzing noise. The stand is very convenient if the headphone jack is on the top of your device, otherwise, it won't stand up. Overall, it's a pretty solid device. I would recommend it for anyone looking for good value and a modern, colorful look.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I love the bright purple that livens up my desk and I love that my pens, pencils, and highlighters all have their own divided space.

I love the brightness of the light...really illuminates my workspace, yet can be turned off with one touch.

But it's so versatile...because the gooseneck is easily adjustable, you can also shine the light on your face for tweezing or make makeup!

As far as the sound goes by plugging in your iphone or ipad, or ipod, I think it's great for this tiny workhorse. However, it won't charge your device so it can run low fairly quickly because of that but because of the way it plugs in, I actually think it offers better sound. (as though you are plugging in earphones)

It's on my desk at all times...it is amazing how a little light helps your work station but the fact that it doubles as a music player and pen and pencil holder make it a perfect desk mate.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This is the perfect little audio/task/desk lamp. It is light weight & very easy to transport from location to location as needed. The goose neck is very convenient allowing me to get the light just where I need it. The light quality & color is very good in a focused area. It is not suitable for room lighting.

The on/off touch feature is not always as sensitive as I'd like. It took too long to learn how to use. It is not as sensitive as the pretty little glass touch lamps I had in the past. I have found that the easiest way to get mine to work with one touch is to quickly clamp the head of the light between my thumb & fingers & then let go.

The audio feature is not as perfect as the manufacture would like you to believe. It doesn't provide "...full depth, clarity and power" However, it does the trick if you are using the lamp to work by. The volume is loud enough & the quality is good enough. This isn't a sound system after all! I find it very useful for listening to my iPod. The little caddy is great for storing small items. Currently I've been using it to hold my cell phone & various pens & pencils. Everything is right there when I need it.

My biggest peeve is that it is a noisy energy vampire. When a device is not hooked up to the little cord & with the lamp on or off it hums. It is very annoying. In order to not hear the hum you have two options: 1. Remove the little cord from the lamp entirely or 2. Unplug the lamp from the socket or turn off your power strip depending on what method you use.

Please note that this lamp does NOT charge your device.

While I don't care for the somewhat cheap looking plastic, I love what it can do. Overall I'm pretty happy with this little lamp & do not regret owning it.

Honest reviews on iHome iPad/iPod/iPhone Speaker/LED Desk Lamp With Organizer (White)

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program My review of this is very similar to what others are saying.

1. The light part is nice.

2. The speakers are ok if you get this unit for $39, but a bit of a rip-off if you pay the full $79.

3. The plastic looks very cheap.

4. The set up you have to do by plugging in a small cord from your ipod's earplug port to the back of the light is awkward for ipods that have the jack on the bottom.

5. Why didn't they include a USB port and cable so that your ipod/ipad could be recharging or at least plugged in and not using its battery?

6. The tap function of the light is nice.

Bottom line: I think there are better products out there.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I give this item a four star rating because my kids really like it and they know more than I about electronic gadgetry. The lamp is sturdy with a fairly heavy base for the size of the unit. It puts out a nice bright light and the iPod/iPad/MP3 player fits in a little pull out that slides from the base of the lamp. The ipod is connected to the lamp with a jack that fits in the iPod and connects to the back of the lamp. The sound is all right for the size of the unit. My daughters really like this lamp/speaker. I think it would be a nice treat for a college student or a kid who would like another option for their music aside from their earbuds. It's a spacesaver for someone who has a small desk. Personally, I like the lamp, it's a bright LED light.

My kids don't mind that it doesn't charge because they use a usb cable connected to a PC to charge, so this isn't a big deal for them. They like the fact that it's a decent speaker that has a dual purpose with the lamp. I think it's an innovative product for college/high school kids because they can put it on their desk, use the lamp for homework and keep their pens in the base where there are compartments for pens and stuff and listen to music. For adults, it works well for crafting and listening to books. The lamp turns off and on with a tap to the top. This is a nice gadget to dress up a desk because it's multifunctional and comes in different bright colors.

If you are looking for a real docking station for your iPod/iPad, this one will not charge, which may be disappointing, but many iHome products don't charge. My 13 year old especially likes this lamp so maybe it is geared towards kids, but like I said the light is good for crafting and the little speaker works well, so this could appeal to adults as well who just need a decent lamp and speaker. It's different, but does have a certain appeal.
