iHome iBT232 Bluetooth Dual Alarm FM Clock Radio with Speakerphone and USB Charging -Gray (Newest Model)

Charges my phone, radio comes in well, time shows and speaker is great sounding/ quality! Worth every penny!

I had to write a review because I simply can’t understand why there are so many bad reviews for this product. I LOVE this clock! It was exactly what I was looking for. I did a bunch of research on several different clocks because I wanted something that fit in with my decor, and not just some huge black plastic paperweight sitting on my nightstand. I settled on this clock radio and I am very happy with my choice. It’s small so it doesn’t take up a lot of space on the nightstand, but it’s also aesthetically pleasing. It has a dimmer for the display which I love. I have it on the lowest setting and can still easily read the time. It can also turn the display completely off if you’re the type of person who doesn’t want any light when they sleep. It also has a USB port which was important to me so I could charge my phone at night. Having it all in one keeps the nightstand looking clean without wires going everywhere.There is one negative that I will say: the buttons are a little bit hard to get the hang of when first setting up the clock. With that being said, if you have enough patience to read the instructions step by step, the process becomes clear. And after a few days of using the clock, the buttons become second hand.Overall, I am super pleased with the clock. I’ve had it for about a month. If any issues develop, I will update my review, but I don’t foresee that happening.

The sound is just fine..much better than most. The time is easy to set. The numbers are easy to read and it is an attractive clock. The problem is the radio station pre-sets!! No matter what I try..the radio will not make P1, P2, etc set to the stations I want. It seems to want to set up its own stations. I have set up pre-sets on radios with no problem before...there is something very weird about this one. I have looked at on-line help and I am following the directions in the manual and videos---but still have not had success. I ordered a second radio to see if it was just the one I purchased...but same problem.

Sound is awesome on this little guy, attractive to look at, brightness is good if you want it bright or dim (I use it in my bathroom and it nicely lights the way for nighttime visits), and functionality is a breeze. If it had wireless charging that would put it over the top! Nonetheless I very much recommend this clock radio. Winner.

This is the second alarm clock I am returning. I am looking for a clock that allows me to wake up to my music via bluetooth that has a dimmable display...that's it. It's been very hard to find. This unit is bluetooth-enabled and sounds pretty good but it's WAY too bright! I like to be able to see the time at night/in the morning but don't want a bright blue light illuminating my room as I sleep. This unit is dimmable but the lowest setting is still very bright plus the top buttons also illuminate so it's blue light both facing up and out. I tried draping a bandana over the top buttons which helped but the clock numbers are still bright (and annoying in the morning when I'm trying to find snooze). When you turn the display off, the top button lights also go off but then the whole unit is dark. Back it goes and I'm still on the hunt for my perfect alarm clock!

I have been searching for a modern/cute looking while still functional alarm clock and this product does the trick. The setup is a bit confusing, but the instruction manual walks you through the setup and I had it all working in no time. The Bluetooth speaker feature is a nice bonus. I would recommend especially for the price-point.

I wanted an alarm clock that would play music from my iPhone and also serve as a charging station. This one seemed to tick all the boxes, including nice compact design. Managed to get it paired with my phone & music playing. The problems began when I dimmed the display: that's when the music began cutting in and out. I disconnected and reconnected the Bluetooth a couple of times, but the music signal still kept blipping.In addition, the controls are ridiculously NON-intuitive. I'm good at setting things up , but had a hard time setting the alarm, despite trying to follow instructions. And even though it appeared I had successfully set the alarm, it didn't come on the next morning. Or the next. But two days later, it did. So, between the glitchy Bluetooth connection and the maddening controls, I surrender: it's going back.

Its clock functions and chime tones work well for an alarm clock. I had hoped the larger size would have improved the sound but alas. Reminds me of sixties transistor radios. When iHome made products for the iPod they focused on sound quality having sound enhancements like SRS which made them sound great! Integrating to phone technology they dumped the sound quality focus. Disappointing.The bluetooth connections are flaky as well. I have an older model and it is solid, another model I have from the era of this one is what motivated me to buy this “better” one. It’s not better though, the flaky connection exists. I am done with iHome products. They were fairly good back in the 32 pin iPod days but have gone downhill since.Fortunately this one was for sale for a cheap price and for just an alarm clock yeah that bit is OK.
