Great Item
By Pokrfac
I've had this item for about two weeks and hands down, it is the best Ipod Clock Radio I have had. I have bought and returned the IHome, JBL On-Time, ZipConnect Isoother, and the Teac GR-10i Clock Radio for iPod.All of the above were great in their own way, but in looking at sound, flexibility, and price, this is hands down the most balanced system, it's a keeper.Side by side, this compares very well to the IHome and Teac in regards to price as they are very closely priced (within $10 of each other, typically). In comparison to the IHome and Teac, one thing that was a big deal to me was the dock. I have an Ipod Video with a plastic case around it. With the Ipod Video, you will have to take the case off to use it on the IHome and Teac, with the Fisher, you do not have to take the case off. In regards to size, the 3 are very similar, but where you will see the biggest difference is in regards to the sound. The IHome gets distorted when you turn up the volume and the bass cannot compete with either the Teac or Fisher. The Teac is a great product, at a great price, but the deal breaker for me is the inability to use the Ipod Video without taking off my plastic cover. In regards to crisp highs and bass, the Teac and Fisher are comparable.In comparing to the ZipConnect Isoother and JBL On-time, the Fisher beat the ZipConnect hands down in sound. The Isoother is more portable, but just cannot compete in louder sound level as you will hear the distortion. The Isoother is typically about $50 more than the Fisher. The only advantage I see with the Isoother are two things, the ability to use it with other MP3 players other than the Ipod and the portability. With the JBL On-Time, it is the most expensive of the items I bought. The JBL does have the best sound overall, but it also costs double the price of the Fisher. What turned me off about the JBL is for some reason whenever the unit turns on, including when the alarm triggers it sets the ipod to start playing the library (i.e. all songs) rather then continuing from where you left it. This means you lose the playlist selection, the current playing song etc. The manual states the ipod should start from the last played songs, but its not so. Its annoying as its impossible to set to wake to a specified playlist for example. My workaround is to use the ipod built in alarm feature in addition to JBL's alarm. But that shouldn't be so.Keep in mind that if you have the Ipod Video with a plastic case, it will not fit in the IHome and the Teac. The Zipconnect Isoother and JBL On Time are the most expensive and do not have remote controls.I hope this info helps as each product is great in it's own way and based on what you are looking for. But if you are looking for the total package in price, sound, and flexibility, the Fisher is the best, hands down.

Good sound, compact
By Skinny
Spent a lot of time researching these docks, i required one with am/fm and the ipod hook up.Pros:-Good Sound-Compact body design, will be easy to travel with-Every kind of snap in attachment to fit any ipod size, even Gen 5Cons:-only one, you can't change albums from the unit or the remote, you need to do so from the ipod directly. Not a problem if you have playlists already setup, but if youare like me and jump from artist/album to another, you have to be near the unit.

By R. Johnson
I researched this purchase for a while because I didn't want to get stuck with a dud. This is a great ipod clock radio.It has VERY good sound, much better than most clock radios and that horrible Bose. It could use a TOUCH more treble. The bass and midrange are absolutely present in a balanced fashion. I docked 1 star for missing the tiny bit of treble. However, as I said, it's still the best sounding clock radio i've heard.Other than that it has great features and a handy little remote control. you can go to sleep with the ipod and you can also wake up to a pre-set song on your ipod. can't ask for more than that. it's also quite attractive--a bit "space age" look with a smaller footprint that my previous clock radio.now, i can listen to any of my 11,000 songs right in my bedroom!strongly recommended. if you aren't an ultra-audiophile, accept this as a 5-star review....
