Amazon.com Product Description
When the iPod was first released, most viewed it as a personal music player for traveling, working out, or other "individual" activities. But that all changed when people started storing their entire music collections on their iPods and doing away with CDs entirely. Among the many product categories that emerged in the aftermath was the iPod-specific speaker system, which lets you listen to your entire iTunes library out loud but without sacrificing portability. The jWin I177BLK is the latest incarnation--a user-friendly, compact speaker system that looks somewhat like a clock radio (and functions like one, too), but stands ready to deliver deep, rich audio playback. The powered system is outfitted with a dock on the top surface that holds many iPod models, including 5th- and 6th-generation iPods, iPod shuffles, and iPod nanos. The dock not only grips the iPod in an easy-to-access location, making it a breeze to find specific songs or hit shuffle, but it also charges the iPod while in use. As a result, you can remove the iPod from the dock right before working out and it'll still be fully charged, even after playing through the speakers for an entire afternoon. Even better, the I177BLK isn't restricted to the iPod, as it also connects to other USB-equipped personal MP3 players. Households with several personal music players won't be left out of the playback loop. The system's audio performance is warmly satisfying thanks to jWin's Aura acoustic technology, which adds depth and clarity to the music reproduction. And even though the system is built for digital music files, it also includes a built-in clock, a dual alarm function, and an AM/FM _radio with PLL digital tuning technology. The radio makes the unit ideal for bedrooms, offices, and other locations where an alarm comes in handy. Listeners even have their choice of waking to the iPod, the radio, or a buzzer. Additional features include a user-friendly backlit LCD screen, a precision volume control that ensures a comfortable sound level, a remote control for maximum convenience, and an external loop antenna that improves the AM reception. The I177BLK, which comes in a sleek black housing that measures 11.25 by 3.12 by 6.75 inches (W x H x D), is backed by a one-year warranty on parts and labor. What's in the Box
I177BLK speaker system, remote control, iPod adapters, external AM loop antenna, user's manual.

 Doesn't keep time May 12, 2008
Everything works great on my iLuv, except for the most basic of things - it doesn't keep time! I have to reset the time every so often because it loses minutes. For example, it was last reset about two months ago for daylight savings and now the time is currently behind by about 10 minutes.
 Does it work with Itouch? May 4, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I really like the way this is sounding, but no one seems to have bought it for an Itouch, or have not written a review on it anyway. Please, does anyone know if it works with an Itouch? I've researched on the internet and can't get a clear answer. Thank you in advance for responding. P.S. If it doesn't work with an Itouch, does anyone have any recommendations for an Ihome for Itouch? Thanks again.
I love my iLuv April 28, 2008
I am very happy with this purchase. I chose this model after reviewing other models and a popular complaint of the other systems was the brightness of the time display. This model has three brightness settings and an OFF setting for the display so is perfect for those who like total darkenss! The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the size. This is much bigger than any traditional alarm clock I have ever owned and takes up a considerable amount of space on my night stand. With my lamp, phone and this unit, there is no room for any extra's! It does have a remote so, if you have the right room setup, you could position it elsewhere.
Good product, but does NOT work with USB iPods April 12, 2008

Originally this product description claimed that this dock would work with all iPod models... not true. The instruction manual that comes with the dock says that it will not charge USB models (the earlier ones, 1st through 3rd generations, I believe). Since I had a 3rd generation (the one with the four buttons above the touch wheel), I was disappointed but able to deal with it not charging. My main goal was to listen to the music and to have the music play for the alarm clock. Well, these features didn't work either. I was able to get through one song, and then it wouldn't go on to another. I tried several times, removing it and re-docking, trying different playlists and turning the shuffle on and off. It also wouldn't work with my 3G for the alarm clock... I could hear it start up, but it wouldn't play. Then I borrowed a friend's iPod video and everything worked just fine with that. I contemplated returning the iLuv, but couldn't really find another dock/clock that promised to work with the 3G. So in the end, I spoiled myself a bit and bought an iPod video. It works perfectly with the iLuv, and the sound quality is great.
A couple of other comments... As others have mentioned, the alarm volume is not adjustable. It does start off a little quieter and then gets louder, but this transition takes all of maybe two seconds, so it doesn't really help wake you any more gently. Also, I love the fact that you can turn the backlight completely off. However, when the backlight is on, the text of the "snooze/dimmer" and other buttons glow in orange, which you can't tell from the picture here (or on the box). I think it's ugly, but the pros outweigh the cons, and I just keep the backlight off most of the time.
Great for the Price! April 11, 2008
I spent months going back and forth about what sort of iPod speakers I wanted. I chose this because it had the am/fm radio components, was also capable of playing my iPod and most importantly was the right price. I just took it out of the box today and I couldn't be happier! The sound is great and the dual alarms are just what I needed!
