 | iHome Rotating Alarm Clock for iPhone and iPod
A great item overall -- 2010-02-28
Overall, very good. Very easy to use and good sound quality. I wish there was one more setting in the dimmer between totally dark and the previous setting. Other than that, very satisfied.
Perfect alarm clock for the iPhone -- 2010-02-16
In my humble opinion, this is the answer to the iPhone/alarm clock duo.
- Size: Average size of a normal alarm clock
- Light: 3 different settings so you won't be kept up by a bright light (problem with previous iHome and iPhone clocks)
- Speaker: Actually not bad, you can hear the sub 'breathing', and it packs a punch when turned up. Slightly muddled at lower volumes (kind of expected), but overall what you would look for in an alarm clock. When watching a movie/listening to low music before falling asleep, you can hear everything at most volumes.
- Alarm function: Super easy to use, the *Beep* sound doesn't make you want to murder someone, and if you want to wake up to your own tunes, just press the iPod button (it even fades into the loud volume). Easy!
- Price: I've waited for this price to come down, and scored it for $40, not too much, but not a huge deal either. The original asking price was too much IMO.
Overall, a great experience, no error message, and it doesn't look too tacky when in landscape mode either! Highly, highly recommended at a lower price.

 | iLuv iEA15BLK iPod Remote with Third-party Headphones Adapter for VoiceOver (Black)
So far, so good. -- 2010-03-07
I had the headphones from Apple and after much use, it failed. I was listening to audiobooks while walking around in New York City, so there was lots of going back and reviewing - and it couldn't take it. So I wanted to find something like this.
So far, I like it and plan to use it with some noise-cancelling headphones I recently purchased. But I've not used it like the original headphones, so I can't totally speak yet for durability. Anyway, at this price I bought two (actually three - one for my ex-girlfriend). This way I'll have an extra for if/when it breaks. :)
Does not work with 3gs -- 2010-02-23
I know 3gs is not on the compatible list for the product but some other websites say this thing works for 3gs so i gave it a try. Apparently, "none" of the buttons works for my 3gs. My 3gs firmware is 3.1.2

 | Monster iEZClick Remote Control for iPod (Black)
Great concept, poor execution -- 2010-03-08
I have both an older 4th gen iPod Photo (60gb) and a 5th gen iPod Video (60gb) for which it works fine except for the Next track button. Of course, other than turning it on and off or play/pause is a pretty crucial feature. Their India help desk didn't offer me any suggestion other than to return it to the vendor as it's discontinued. Should be a great product. Seems like quality control sucks. Steer clear.

didn't work -- 2010-02-17
its cheap quality, the plug for the ipod feels cheap, has a sticker covering the antenna that you could end up damaging the antenna. the clicker part is nice and big but it doesn't work, i had a remote from ijet that works much better, it has a pass through so you can have something else plugged in to the bottom of the ipod and stil have the remote plugged in. the monster remote would be nicer, but since it didn't work and following the instructions to reset it and repair it and it still didn't work
wouldn't waste my time on monster iezclick again

 | Apple Radio Remote for iPod (White)
Great Reception -- 2010-03-05
I tried some cheaper remote radios first before getting this one. It was worth it to have clear reception. It's also nice that you can easily add and remove presets and there doesn't seem to be a limit to the number of presets.
Integrates well with nano -- 2010-02-01
Only bad part about this is it kills battery life on nano. I can run fm radio for only about 3 hrs before nano needs a recharge. It is also way too expensive. You could buy a separate am/fm radio for the price.

 | Scosche IPNRFC Wireless Car RF Remote for iPod
Nice gadget to keep your eyes on the road -- 2010-01-19
After some research on car remotes I came to the Scosche. I was a little put-off by the price of the remote but after looking at others I saw it was quality. I especially like the ability to use the wireless remote and charge the ipod/iphone at the same time, a feature I didn't see on others. This is great when you're on the road. The remote fits pretty snug on the steering wheel and is also good for around your wrist for a day at the gym. The buttons are a little tight at first and my play/pause button needs to be pressed upwards instead of dead center for it to work (the only reason I gave this 4 stars instead of five) Maybe a minor issue but one that can get annoying on the road. Overall, a quality product and one I recommend for anyone who drives and listens to their Ipod/Iphone, yes it works for both- I have an Iphone 3GS and as with many items it asks you to go into airplane mode because it's not made for the Iphone but it's not necessary, works fine. Sometimes you will need to restart your music or unplug and replug...do this before hitting the road.
Good gadget for skipping tracks on your iPod -- 2010-01-11
I bought both my wife and I each one of these units for Christmas. I went on a trip for about 4 days and installed mine just before I left. When I got home, my wife (who is not really that technology-friendly) had hers installed as well. So I guess it must be pretty straight-forward and easy to use.
The remote straps pretty easily to the steering wheel. Depending on which side of the velcro you put inside or outside, you may find your gloves or clothing sticking to the velcro. If you do, switch the velcro and that won't be an issue any longer. I've read about people having difficulty getting it tight on the steering wheel. I thought it was pretty easy, however if you attach it to a round section of the steering wheel, it can 'rotate' around the wheel if you're not careful. I usually try to put several fingers behind the remote (wrapping them around the wheel) when I push a button with my thumb to keep it from 'spinning' on the handgrip section of the wheel.
The buttons work really well. There's a little blue light that blinks once whenever you push a button so you know if you pushed it 'enough'. (This is helpful in the winter when you're wearing gloves.) I read some people saying they had a hard time with having to push the button multiple times to get the remote to respond. But my guess is they weren't pushing it enough, as I've only had the remote "not read" my instructions when I've pushed the button not quite hard enough to get the light to blink.
The piece that hooks to the bottom of the iPod is fairly small. Make sure you have someplace to store it so you don't lose track of it if you take your iPod in and out of the car a lot. It also has an opening in the bottom so that if you use a car charger, you can hook them up "piggyback" style to keep the remote working and your iPod charging while you're driving.
All in all, I'm glad I made the purchase. I don't use the playlist features, etc. because my iPod is not in a 'stand' where I can see the screen while driving. But as a tool to skip ahead, rewind, play and pause my iPod it works really well.

 | Apple Radio Remote for iPod (White)
Works well, no AM though... -- 2009-12-10
I got this as a present. Honestly, I had been considering buying a Zune because the iPod didn't come with a radio function. However, my wife bought me an iPod for Christmas. So, I began looking around for a radio function and found this. The only problem is that it was about $50! So, after paying $200-$300 for an iPod, Apple gets you for another $50.
As the product goes, it works well. I use it primarily at the gym to tune into the televisions or local radio stations. I have to admit though, I was disappointed that there was no AM function. I know many people disregard AM, but sometimes its the only way to get the college football, basketball, etc. game. So, I was a little irritated when I was listening to a game in my car, go into the gym and realize that this $50 add-on only supported FM.
Overall, this will work quite well for most people. It comes with a set of headphones that have a shorter cord since the remote/FM receiver has quite a bit of cord already.
Functional but not graceful -- 2009-06-23
I got this for my ipod so that I could have a radio on there and I honestly don't use it much anymore.
The remote works fine and the FM radio is okay (although it doesn't get the strongest reception in a building). My biggest problem with it was the headphones. They pretty much suck. So I end up having to put my own good headphones on there which are standard length and then I have what feels like 6 ft of wire wrapped around my body and I constantly get it caught on things.
So, oddly enough I stopped using it because it was just to time consuming to get it all wrapped around my person and take it off.
All in all it does the job but not with a lot of grace.

 | Apple - Apple Remote remote control
I am so happy -- 2009-12-11
I bought this remote to use with my Mac Book Pro 13". It is a great little remote. The remote works with the Front Row program. You can access the DVD player, Movies on the mac, podcast, and music on the mac using the remote with Front Row. It is super easy to use. When I watch a DVD on the mac I can play, pause, volume, skip, fast forward, and rewind, like any other remote would do. I am truly happy with it. And yes you can scroll through music but on Front Row not on Itunes. But all the same songs are on front row as they are on Itunes so no big deal.

 | Apple Remote and Earbuds for iPod (White)
Would work better if I had a ipod touch -- 2009-09-12
The headphones are pretty good, I did not have the problems that others have had with the earphones breaking. When I originally purchased them it was supposed to be compatible with ipod classic, but the remote only works with the touch and mini. Other than that for the price I cant complain. sound quality is great on the headphones. I cant say how the remote works because I have not used it.
Labeled Wrong -- 2009-08-25
The technical specifications for this product are wrong.
It is in fact not compatible with the iPod Video (5g or 5.5g) and the iPod Nano 1g. What other models it is incompatible with, I do not know but i own both these iPods and the Headphone and Data plug set up this uses is not available on any of those three iPod Models.

 | Sound Design iHome IHR5S Remote Control - Silver
This cute little remote works good for me! -- 2009-12-14
I use this remote in my bedroom with my Ihome docking station/alarm clock IH4P and it works great. I can play my Ipod with a touch of the button, change the song or adjust the volume. The snooze button on my remote is used to adjust the background base.
When you have to change the battery make sure it is a cr2032 or 3v and that the logo of the button battery facing towards the bottom of the remote. The battery used in the remote is the same as the backup clock used in the Ihome product so I suggest buying a few sets so you won't have to worry about your alarm or remote going out. Enjoy!
Very useful -- 2008-03-17
I think this is a really useful product, because you don't have to be near the Ihome to use it's volume control, "on and off" button, radio and stuff. The reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that the remote controls the ipod only when it's directly connected to the Ihome (it doesn't do anything to the ipod, if it's connected by the cable), so sometimes you just end up using it to turn on and off or for the volume...
But I can't say it's a bad product, 'cause it helps me a lot, specially when I'm in bed and don't want to get up.
I recommend.

 | EWOO HandMusic Dock and Two-Way Remote System for iPod and MP3 Players (Black)
Terrible product -- 2010-03-01
I bought the EWOO HandMusic Dock even after reading the generally bad reviews for this product (a big mistake) because there were few other options for this type of devise and I have a need for the functions it is suppose to offer. I have the DLO equivalent which works reasonably well but has a roughly 500 song limit which is far too small a capacity. The EWOO is one of the worst products I have ever bought. Getting it to sync with your ipod takes forever if you can get it to sync at all. When it does work, the range of the remote is very small, maybe 20 feet and it easily looses sync when you carry the remote around. The controls are awkward. For instance raising the volume just a little is impossible. The whole experience of using this piece of cr-p is so frustrating it defies belief. I tried the firmware update that is available from the company website but it made no difference in the poor performance or difficulty getting it to sync. Luckily I just made it under the Amazon return deadline so this thing goes back and I hope I never see another one, ever.
Unless you like things that barely work and are incredibly frustrating to use, DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM!!!
Definite QA Problems -- 2010-02-28
I have tried two of these devices and both of the docks failed to connect reliably with my iPod. I tried it to replace my Tuneview (which is expensive and has a flimsy remote). This is a shame because the device looks like it's well designed.
