"These could be your best speakers you have heard out of a device this small”

The iHome ID84 App-Enhanced Dual Alarm Clock Radio is a dual alarm clock radio for iPad, iPhone and iPod that lets you charge your iPad, Phone or iPod and lets you wake and sleep to either one, to a custom playlist, or to AM/FM radio. A Sync button syncs the clock to your iPhone (which is always current via cell phone towers) to set the time quickly. The iD84 allows you to set two separate alarms with different times on different days with our 7-5-2 feature. The iD84 also includes 12 AM/FM presets, EQ controls and 3D sound and Reson8 sound technology for an exceptional audio experience.

The iHome can function without a device plugged in, but the app makes this device so much more fun to use. Yes! You get an app! The iHome app allows you to add additional alarms (the clock has two, turned off by default), check the weather forecast, check sleep stats, + some more stuff. The alarms are fully customizable, allowing you to set a flexible repeating schedule, listen to music as you fall asleep or wake up, set the volume for the alarms, choose a nap or alarm type of alarm, set reminders, and post your sleeping habits to social media sites (I don't know why you'd use that, but it's there if you want it). The app is free so you could download it right now and give it a shot before committing to the device.

Product Features

• Wake or sleep to iPad, iPhone, iPod, custom playlist, AM/FM radio, custom apps or buzzer
• App-enhanced to work with free iHome+Sleep app or paid iHome+Radio internet radio apps

Great sound clear radio reception, and user-friendly features. December 2, 2011 By J. Bostick

I really love this clock radio. My older radio had problems picking up my local NPR stations. I use NPR as my wakeup alarm. I was nervous about the radio reception quality because I haven't seen anyone else mention how good it is. The signals are strong and clear. And WOW, the sound is really great with nice bass and full midtones. I also love the gradual volume on the alarm. no loud shocking noise when it goes off. The other features are well thought out and user-friendly too. After much research on which is the best iPhone clock radio This DC390 model by Philips is the "clear" winner. 

Love this dock! January 6, 2012By R. Heide

Philips DC390/37 is a great product, and it is exactly what I was hoping for: multifunctioning unit that eliminates charging cords everywhere while looking nice at the same time. I detest those plastic-y units that look cheap right out of the box...and this unit does not disappoint. The brushed metal outer casing is great. I can charge my iPhone and iPad at night...the kids can charge their itouches while they are at school.

The alarm controls are a bit tricky, and the directions have a little to be desired, hence the 4 stars instead of 5. Once you get to know the system, it's easier. You can set two different alarms, waking up to either device charging, or radio, or alarm buzz. The display is adjustable for brightness.

Looks great, sounds very good in a bedroom (not sure it is a party device,) and works well. All around a great implementation of a dual dock!

Everything You Like About the iH Radios, but Without the GSM Buzz!, January 3, 2009
By C. Dewey "Dynamat Convert" (Greenville, SC)

This review is from: iHome iP9BR Clock Radio for iPod, iPhone (Black) (Electronics)
I had been reading about the IP99 for months but was unwilling to pay well over $120 for it. When I happened across the new IP9 for $79.99 in a local warehouse that starts with "Cost" and ends with "co", I thought I would give it a try.

The sound is slightly improved over my older IH5 and IH6 radios -- which is to say excellent for the money -- and so far I haven't heard the slightest GSM buzz. The iP9's 3D effect is richer than the Sony ICF-C1iPMK2's "Mega Xpand" feature. The overall sound of the iP9 is slightly warmer than that of the Sony but otherwise comparable. The Eq option is a big plus.

The one advantage the Sony has is that it supports an iPhone from the back via and adustable block. That somewhat negates the need for a dock insert. This is a nice convenience for people with an iPhone shell that is small enough to fit in a universal dock as you may not have to remove the shell to dock the iPhone securely. You NEED an insert on the iP9 as you would on any device with a universal dock on top and nothing substantial behind the dock. Fortunately, the iPhone insert iHome includes seems to work as well as an iPhone 3G Universal Dock Insert from Apple... and it's black! The iHome website currently states that the IP9 does not ship with an iPhone 3G insert but perhaps iHome wised-up.

The dual alarms work in a similar manner to the Sony. The 2-5-7 day setting is a plus. I have not used the snooze feature though it is supposed to be configurable. Our dogs do not allow us to snooze, in case you were wondering. At night, one big advantage for the iP9 is that the dimmer allows you to turn off the backlighting entirely. As anyone with a Sony will tell you, their dimmest setting is way too bright. The iHome's numbers are also a little larger.

I have read about some quality problems with the IP99 and am hoping that the IP9 is as solid as the IH5 and IH6 clocks I have had for a few years without any problems. The iP9 seems to be built more solidly than the Sony, particularly with respect the buttons. The dials take a little getting used to, but if you're tying to adjust the volume in a dark room they are much easier to adjust than the tiny Sony volume buttons, which have an annoyingly loud click. I also give the iP9's remote an edge because it includes a few more functions.

In summary, the iHome iP9 is a solid performer with an excellent attention to detail that puts it ahead of the Sony ICF-C1iPMK2, despite its more iPhone shell-friendly design.

Perfect match!, June 22, 2007
By Rachael Evans (Sewanee, TN)

I got this as a way to listen to my 2g pink nano while going to sleep. I was amazed when I plugged it in in the kitchen and my husband thought the stereo was on all the way from the living room. The sound is amazing for this tiny piece of equipment. The sleep feature is great and the dimmer for the lights is cool too. The fact that it doesn't have a remote is annoying, but the remote is 15 bucks on ihome's site. Since this is a great ipod accessory I will definetly be getting the remote to boot. I just wish it also came in pink.

Best iPhone/iPod Docking Clock Radio, June 4, 2009
By Ken Joy "President/CEO of House of Joy Publis... (Los Angeles)
I searched a long time for a combo clock radio and docking station for my iPhone. Although there are several on the market, I wanted something that took up as little space as possible on my night stand, had a display with large numbers, would charge my iPhone, play music from my iPhone as the alarm instead of the radio, and was easy to use.

I FOUND IT!! This Sony clock radio is great, and has TONS of features. I like the large illuminated display, which has different settings depending on how bright you want the light at night. Setting the alarm is very easy (you can go forward and backward through hour and minutes, without having to run completely through the cycle like most clocks), and there are TWO alarm settings. You can set an alarm for weekdays to get you up for work, and then a separate alarm for the weekend. Pretty cool.

The snooze button is nice and big on top of the unit, and let's you take the standard 10 minute snooze, or you can keep pressing the button and lengthen the snooze time up to 60 minutes in 20 minute increments. A nice feature.

There's a sleep feature timer so you can listen to radio or iPhone/iPod music while you fall asleep. For the alarm, you can have a buzz, AM or FM radio, or a tune from your iPhone, and it works great.

Buttons on the front and side are nice and large so you don't have to grope in the dark, and there are a variety of customizable settings.

The best part is the hidden slide-out docking tray. Pop it out when you want to charge your iPhone/iPod or listen to music through the clock's speaker, and push it back in when you don't need it, making the unit's footprint as small as possible. The docking tray comes with adapters to fit iPhone or iPod. I use mine without either adapter because I have a protective case on my iPhone, but it still fits in nicely.

In reading back my review, I sound like a Sony employee, but I'm not. Have no connection to the product, other than I'm a satisfied customer, and would recommend this unit highly to anyone looking for a docking station/clock radio for their iPhone or iPod. There are too many other features to go into here. Have fun discovering all the great things Sony thought of to include on this unit.

Thanks for a great unit, Sony!

Best iPhone/iPod Docking Clock Radio, June 4, 2009
By Ken Joy "President/CEO of House of Joy Publis... (Los Angeles)
I searched a long time for a combo clock radio and docking station for my iPhone.

This stylish iPod dual alarm clock radio is great any place, especially where space is limited. Boasting full-range Reson8 stereo speakers with a passive subwoofer for detailed, dynamic sound, the iH12 wakes you gradually and lulls you to sleep to your iPod music or digital AM/FM radio.

Good but has 2 flaws, September 30, 2008
By Gerald Zaks
Good size, good sound, good basic design..... but 2 problems.
1) The control buttons on top have raised designs to distinguish them, but not raised enough. So you hunt and peck for the right button in the dark searching to turn off the alarm. I've placed a very small blob of clear glue from my glue-gun next to the off button to find it more easily.
2) I have an older version of the iPod mini. Out of the 5 plug-in adapters for different iPods that come with the unit.... NONE of them are for the older version of my iPod mini. It still works... but I have to be careful plugging it in and taken it out and not bumping it when plugged in.
