iHome iDM12 review

There's no dock built into the iDM12, but it uses Bluetooth to stream music from an iPhone, iPad or any other device that has Bluetooth. There's also an AUX input on the back for wired connections, although this requires the special audio/charging...

Despite the over-enthusiastic bass, the iDM is still one of the better pocket-size speakers we’ve come across. It can’t match the quality and power of the larger models from Altec Lansing and Logitech, but if you want a decent speaker that you can just...

iHome iDM8

Interesting design. Very portable. Easy wireless pairing. Affordable. Rechargeable.

Little bass response. Distorts at maximum volume. Does not get very loud. Lacks speakerphone capabilities.

The iHome iDM8 is an affordable and uniquely designed portable Bluetooth speaker, but it doesn't get very loud, and distorts before it reaches maximum volume.

iHome iDM12 Rechargeable Bluetooth Speaker System for iPad/iPhone/iPod Review

The iHome iDM12 Rechargeable Bluetooth Speaker System for iPad/iPhone/iPod is iHome's entry into the every growing portable/battery powered Bluetooth speaker market. Like the Monster iClarityHD speakers I reviewed in January, the iMD12 aims to give you...

Portability, versatility, volume, battery life

Slight amplifier hum, distortion at higher volume, limited Frequency Response on the low end

The iDM12 is a very portable, versatile battery powered Bluetooth/wired speaker system. The integrated iPad base/cover is a nice touch – useful even if you’re not primarily using it for an iPad. The sound quality is about where I’d expect at this...

Amazing product for iPad

Setup was easy, took about 2 minutes to have the iPad sending audio(voice,music,etc) to these speakers. They have great sound, and bass response is decent for their size. I also ordered the BluBridge transmitter & receiver to allow other non-bluetooth...
