Reviews of the SDI iHome iHC5S
-
CNET Review
The Good: Tabletop clock radio that allows you to wirelessly interface with your cell phone via Bluetooth to stream music and make speakerphone calls; alarm clock functionality allows you to wake to songs on your cell phone or the radio; stereo line-in jack; 12 AM/FM station presets; retractable dialpad; includes wireless remote.
The Bad: Cheap build quality; no iPod dock; does not pair with iPod Bluetooth dongles; Bluetooth connectivity can be dicey; radio reception was subpar.
The Bottom Line: While the iHC5S tabletop clock radio incorporates some nice features that make it an intriguing choice for owners of Bluetooth-enabled cell phones with A2DP support, some usability issues and its overall flimsiness make it feel like more of a work in progress.
