iHome Bluetooth Speaker with MagSafe Charger, Wireless Speaker and Wireless Charging Station with Color Changing Night Light (iPBT50L)

The magnets that hold your phone is so strong and it doesn’t fall fall. The sound is really good as well and overall a great product with a good price.

Charger works well but the speakers are not loud enough. It was difficult to hear even in a quiet room. The speakers were easy to connect to and the size was nice for my desk. Unfortunately, I the main draw for me were the speakers and they really missed the mark.

We received one of these as part of a white elephant gift and we were not expecting much when we set it up. My wife and I both work from home and it ended up being the perfect addition to our desk set up. We liked it so much we actually ended up ordering a second one. The sound quality is high for something so little and the angle it holds your phone at is perfect for sitting or standing at a desk. We even ordered another one for a Christmas gift. The reason I give it a 4/5 stars is due to the cost, it can be a little pricy but for having wireless charging and the quality it does it is worth it if you use it regularly.

It was exactly what we wanted, a space saver for the kitchen island. She can play her Sirius radio over it, too. The adjustable magnetic mount is great.

I got this as a charging dock and speaker for when my wife and I are in the kitchen doing dishes or cooking. It has two major problems that I just can’t justify using it.1) The speaker is so quiet I can’t really hear what I’m trying to listen to over the sound of just turning the water on to do dishes. That’s before the clanging and banging of actually doing the dishes. Just the sound of running water drowns out this speaker. It can be used in a quiet room, especially if you have sensitive hearing and leave audio turned down very low.2) The speaker must remain plugged in to be used. Unlike other Bluetooth speakers that are wireless, this immediately turns off the moment it’s unplugged. This wouldn’t be terrible if the speaker was actually decent I suppose. But I had intended to take the speaker to other places and use it while I do basic chores. This really undermines the ease of use for routine household purposes.Last thing, is that it’s so light that an iPhone can easily tip it over. Messing around with the angle of the docking arm can address this. But it’s still noteworthy. I see this as a design flaw. The base of the speaker should be a little heavier to account for the weight of a docked phone.The build quality of the exterior is reasonable considering the price range—nothing really to complain about there.I would not recommend this to anyone unless you’re planning to use it in a very quiet setting and don’t expect to be able to hear.
