An iHome speaker is a better brand to get. Generic speakers will be hit or miss but name brand is almost always the better pick for quality and longevity.
An iHome is a speaker that you can plug your ipod into and sometimes includes a clock.
If you want something portable then yes by all means go with the iHome docking station. the iHome docking station does have a pretty loud speaker especially considering how small it is.
No, the iHome docking station is a separate brand from the Apple corporation. iHome is actually a division from SDI Technologies, therefore it is not an officially licensed product of the Apple corporation.
When it comes to the portable dock/speaker market, there are several options to consider. The best brands would include Logitech, iHome, Bose, Altec, and Fluance.
Connecting your ipod touch 3rd generation to an ihome speaker system is easy and will allow you to share your music with those around you. It is simply a matter of plugging a wire from your ipod to the speaker system or docking your ipod onto the speaker system.. Follow manufacturers instruction.
If you are looking for reviews on the IHome, I would suggest looking for it on Amazon or EBay. They have real consumer reviews listed from people who own it.
A majority of iHome speakers have favorable reviews on Amazon.com - http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=ihome+speakers&x=0&y=0. If possible, try to test out iHome products in a store that carries them, so you can get a feel of which speaker is best for your needs and your wallet.
The iHome iP9SR is loud enough to be heard, for better or worse, all over the home.
Well, me and my friend compared. I had the IHome headset and He had the Dr. Dre beats. Mine ended producing more sound and more base. Also the IHome tunes out the world more the the Dre's.
I have a smaller iHome and on the back there should be an on-of switch. You know your iHome is on if there is a red light glowing on the front of your iHome.
