Digital camera reviews of iHome iHM7 Rechargeable Mini Speaker for iPod (Black)
Digital camera Review: Good device, bad battery life
Summary: 3 Stars
The iMH7 is a cool device. The sound quality is definitely impressive for its size, and you can take it anywhere since it's about the size of a yo-yo. Two major complaints though:
1. The battery life is nowhere near what I thought it be. I would have been happy with 3-4 hours off the charger with music from my phone playing at full volume. Instead, I can only get 1.5 hours AT BEST. Very disappointing, since I mainly got it for listening to at work. Now, I could just use it while it's plugged in, but that brings me to...
2. The charging/audio cable sent with the device is poorly designed. For some weird reason, the audio jack is closer to the charging end of the cable, rather than the speaker's end of the cable, and the audio jack's cable is very short. It makes it very tough to use any wall socket, since your phone/mp3 player/psp etc. will basically have to DANGLE in mid-air from a wall socket, unless you have something to place your player on that's at the perfect height. The cable's design makes sense for a laptop, sure, but what about all the other devices you can use with the speakers? Such a short-sighted design. I noticed iHome sells a long version of this cable for $10, so hoooooow convenient, right? The X-Mini 2 design with the audio jack on the speaker is much better.
Without those issues, I would have given it 5 stars.
Digital camera Review: Good for the price, but...

This worked pretty well for a while but it seems the jack on the side where the USB plug goes in got a little loose. Since then, it's been finicky about charging. But it's tiny and inexpensive, and delivers good sound for the money.Digital camera Review: Good things do come in little packages!
Summary: 5 Stars
Reviews from others gave me a green light to purchase this little speaker if only to see for myself what they were talking about. When I received the speaker, I was surprise how little it actually is! However, it speaks volumes! It works well with my ipod, my laptop and my friends were all impress that the little speaker was giving out regular speaker quality sounds! They all wanted to know where to get one! Great buy!Digital camera Review: Good, but not impressive
Summary: 4 Stars
This speaker is loud enough, and very portable!
Two things that they should improve in this speaker:
1. Bass- The bass is a little weak.
2. The cable should go on the bottom of the speaker (like X-mini II).
I have both, X-mini II and ihome.
X-mini II has a very impressive bass, and the cable is built-in.
If you don't give attention to bass go with ihome, otherwise spend some more to buy X-mini II, it will worth the money.
Digital camera Review: Great

Great product so far. Not sure how long the battery lasted but I was hoping for a little longer but it did last a fair amount of time.
