The flat top of the speaker system is ideal for your charging smartphone.

Bluetooth with NFC

Stream wirelessly from your smartphone, tablet or other portable device via Bluetooth. And the system features NFC (Near Field Communication). Just touch an NFC- compatible portable device to the iBN26 for instant wireless pairing.

Take that call

The iBN26 can also function as a speakerphone with your paired smartphone. Just press a button on the system's control panel to activate the built-in microphone and take the call. The microphone is designed to minimize room echo, keeping your voice clear to your caller.

Charging options

A USB port lets you charge just about any portable device straight from the iBN26 using your device's USB charging cable. The system's round, flat top makes an ideal spot to leave your smartphone while charging.

Features

Reson8 Speaker Technology: The iHome iBN26 Bluetooth speaker system employs two full-range drivers powered by a built-in 6W amplifier inside a specially designed sealed enclosure (Reson8) to deliver clear, stereo sound.

Built-in Bluetooth (w/ NFC): The iHome iBN26 supports Bluetooth audio streaming, Bluetooth hands-free communication, and simple Bluetooth pairing. It works with Bluetooth-enabled Apple iPod/iPhone/iPad, Android smartphones/tablets, Blackberry, Windows PC, Mac computers, and more.

  • Simple Pairing: This unit pairs with your Bluetooth-enabled device with a single press of a button or via NFC (Near Field Communication). NFC lets you wirelessly pair with a compatible device by simply touching it to the iBN26 (compatible with Android 4.0+ devices). Once paired, the iBN26 will automatically re-connect with your device when in wireless range (up to 33').
  • Wireless Audio Streaming: The iBN26 streams stored music and music apps wirelessly from your Bluetooth-enabled smartphone, tablet, laptop, or computer. The unit provides Play/Pause control via its top-panel controls. You will continue to use your Bluetooth-enabled device for advanced music navigation and to view song/artist information.
  • Hands-Free Communication: The iHome iBN26 features a built-in microphone and a call/answer button so you can answer phone calls, talk on Skype, or use Facetime from the Bluetooth speaker system. You will continue to use your Bluetooth-enabled device to view video calls, dial a phone number, and control advanced phone functions.
Note: Due to the differences in Bluetooth technology, some Bluetooth enabled devices may be incompatible, function improperly, or may not support all features when used with the iHome iBN26.

Aux Input: The iBN26 Bluetooth speaker system is equipped with a rear-panel 3.5mm auxiliary input to connect almost any portable audio player with a headphone jack output.

USB Charging (1A): The iHome iBN26 is fitted with a rear-panel USB (type-A) port for charging your smartphone or tablet device (using the charging cable that came with your smartphone/tablet device). This USB port does not support audio playback.

AC Power Adapter: The iHome iBN26 operates off of standard household current using the included AC power supply (Input: 100-240V~50-60Hz/0.5A; Output: 12V-1500mA)
