This boombox has a nice design and quality appearance. My expectations were greatly exceeded given the item's size and price.

SOUND: There are no bass or treble adjustments but the bass is reasonable, if not powerful. The volume, however, can be set quite loud without distortion. I would describe the sound quality as equivalent to a good standard car stereo vs. a more expensive optional system; not the best but good -and a good value for the fifty bucks (on sale) I paid at Kohl's.

FEATURES-PROS & CONS: The boombox volume dial takes over the volume control from the click wheel on my 1st generation iPod Nano, but all the other iPod menus and functions work as usual. There is a play/pause button and forward and back buttons for skipping tracks.

The docking station charges iPods and comes with three adapters that slide in place to support both generations of iPod Nano and full-size iPods. There are output jacks on the back for S-Video and headphones and an auxiliary audio input jack. The power cord is normal (no power brick) and detaches from the rear of the boombox for portable use with batteries.

The AM/FM radio gets good reception. The analog tuning dial makes it easier to fine tune weak signals than pure digital tuners but the radio frequency is nicely displayed digitally rather than with an archaic tuner bar. When the iPod is turned on the radio display shows the time.

Two biggest drawbacks: the clock does not have an alarm, so you must use the iPod's alarm; the time/radio display backlight is far too bright for the bedside table and there is no way to adjust it. This boombox has been very pleasing even if I must put a piece of black tape over the display at night.

Pros: Excellent Ipod interface. Very good fidelity. Cannot adjust bass or treble, but it does not need adjustment for most uses. Good price. Nice design.

Cons: Has AM and FM, but they are of poor quality. FM antena comes out easily and cannot be rotated.

Overall: If you want it for the Ipod, definately get it. If you also want a good AM/FM radio, find another product.

Want iLive IBR2807DP iPod Docking System/Boombox with Speakers, AM/FM Radio in White Discount?

This unit has a great sound for it's size and the size is what I like. It is very portable. I like to take it from room to room as I clean. I found it easy to use and has increased my I-Pod usage 100%.

I got this for my daughter she has a nano. Her earlier iPod player broke because the iPod stuck up from on top of it. The cat saw the picture change when the song changed and pounced, wrecking the input jack on the player (not the iPod, thankfully). This one has the iPod sitting inside so it's much less susceptible to accidents. It comes with lots of different adapters so you can easily fit your iPod to match the slot on the box. Also, the box is sleek looking she loves it (she's 11) and is easily able to operate it, etc.

The sound is fine I don't have any complaints in that area. I'm sure audiophiles will want something "better", but for the rest of us, this one is great.
