iHome iHM20B Pocket Stereo System for iPod nano 3G (Black) Review


We have an unused iPod Nano 3G just sitting around wasting away and I thought these speakers would make it more useful. The speakers are very compact and awesome in the way they fold down to add almost no additional size to the tiny iPod Nano 3G -- just doubles the thickness and adds a tiny bit, maybe 3/4 cm, to the length. Still reasonably tiny enough to fit into your butt pocket.

Now the cons:
Someone missed a detail in the design department. If they had added just a tiny bit more "width" to the opening at the bottom, it would be possibly easier to plug in the usb cable. Right now, in order to plug in the cable, I have to force the cable through the opening (it is a TIGHT fit), plug cable into iPod AFTER it has been threaded through the opening and then seat the iPod into position (onto speaker jack.)

The speaker quality leaves a bit to be desired. I was expecting more for a $30 set of speakers. Great for general on-the-go music.

Buy it here now!
