Digital camera reviews of irock! Beamit Wireless Music Adapter (400FM)

Digital camera Review: A functional product, but not the best
Summary: 3 Stars

Actually, I'd like to give the iRock a rating of 3.5 stars, but settled on 3 stars.

I bought the iRock to go with my 40GB iPod. Overall, I'm quite happy with it. Here are the plusses:

*easy to use/install
*small (takes up only a little space)
*coiled power cord (helps!)
*uses very little power (with the batteries)
*reception is quite good on all 4 settings in a medium/large metro area (Twin Cities, Minnesota) with a lot of radio stations

Here's the minus: I was disappointed in the clarity of sound produced by the iRock. I don't know if the decreased clarity is due to the iRock or my car stereo (an Alpine in my Honda CRV), but the sound produced by the iRock simply isn't as good as the sound I get listening to the iPod with a cheap pair of headphones. If the clarity was a bit better I'd probably give the product 4 to 5 stars.

[I have discovered that I can improve the clarity of sound if I keep the volume on my iPod low and use the car stereo to adjust the volume. The clarity is 'fine,' but isn't great.]

Summary of irock! Beamit Wireless Music Adapter (400FM)

IROCK-400FM, WIRELESS FM MODULATOR
The irock! 400FM wireless music adapter lets you listen to any portable-music device over any FM tuner and speaker setup, without a clumsy or constricting cable hookup. It's the perfect way to simply and efficiently listen to MP3s, CDs, minidiscs, and other formats in the comfort of your car or living room. Just plug the 400FM into the headphone jack of your portable device, tune your radio to one of four pre-selected frequencies (88.1, 88.3, 88.5, or 88.7 FM), and crank up your tunes. The 400FM's operating range (limited by FCC regulations) is 10 to 30 feet, depending on environmental conditions and the quality of the FM receiver.

The tiny (1 x 2 x 3 inches), lightweight 400FM is powered by two AAA batteries (not included) or, in your car or boat, by the supplied 12V DC vehicle power adapter for hours of blissful music while traveling. The 400FM features a simple on-off switch on the front and a red LED that lights up when the unit is on. It comes with a seven-foot flexible antenna that folds around the 400FM when not in use.

iRock 400FM, 12V DC vehicle power adapter, a user's manual, and warranty information.
