Digital camera reviews of iHome iHM3P4 Portable Speaker System for iPod and MP3 Players (Pink)
Digital camera Review: Cute but blew out within a week
Summary: 2 Stars
I was very excited about buying this, especially because it is so portable. However, I've owned this for about a month and have not been impressed. I thought I'd found a good, cheap deal on Amazon, but there are very few good things about this. Here's a general synopsis of my views:
Good:
-Ultra compact and portable. I LOVE that this doesn't have cords and doesn't need to be plugged in. It comes with a cute, cushy carrying case and is small enough to fit into just about any bag.
-Extremely simple, easy to navigate. No problems with too much technology here.
Bad:
-Not enough sound. I was looking for something with a little more 'oomph.' I cranked the sound up all the way and it still could barely compete with my laptop speakers.
-As a result, the speakers blew out within a WEEK. I wasn't playing music with particularly heavy bass or loud parts, but now the sound is so bad I can't even use them. I know I probably maxed them out, but it seems a little unreasonable.
-Battery life isn't great. I've used this less than 10 times, and the batteries are gone. Extremely frustrating.
Overall: If you don't need a lot of sound and are looking for something compact with light use, this will be great. If you want ANYTHING above that, go for something with a little better quality.

Sweet Simplicity
The IHM3P4 gets its signal from the line-in jack, so it can be used with nearly any audio device you can attach to it. An audio cable is included for connecting devices. The design also can act as a shelf for smaller devices like the iPod nano.
Sweet Sound
No matter the device attached, you'll enjoy rich audio thanks to SRS TruBass sound enhancement. Best of all, you can take the device anywhere, as it's powered by 4 AAA batteries (included). Just slip it in the included protective carrying case. Of course, a headphone jack is also included for those times when you don't want to wake up the neighbors.
