iHome 2go iH18w Docking Station for iPod Shuffle and Portable Travel Alarm Clock (White)

• The portable system for your iPod Shuffle
• Listen and sleep to your iPod shuffle anywhere
• Battery Operation for complete portability
• Line-in jack to connect other audio divices (MP3 & CD players, etc)
• Travel case and AC Adaptor included

You can charge your ipod and listen when this unit is plugged into the wall, or listen with just batteries. The sound is crisp and clean, but don't expect any real bass. For that reason alone, I don't use these speakers anymore. These are small speakers so you can't crank 'em up super loud but they are loud enough. You can plug any audio device into the headphone jack plug-in on the back. The alarm makes a beeping sound that a heavy sleeper, might just sleep through.
