Features

Reson8 Speaker Technology: The iHome iBN48 Bluetooth speaker system employs two full-range drivers inside a specially designed sealed enclosure (Reson8) to deliver clear, stereo sound.

Built-in Bluetooth (w/ NFC): The iHome iBN48 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 iBN48 (compatible with Android 4.0+ devices). Once paired, the iBN48 will automatically re-connect with your device when in wireless range (up to 33').
  • Wireless Audio Streaming: The iBN48 streams stored music and music apps wirelessly from your Bluetooth-enabled smartphone, tablet, laptop, or computer. You will continue to use your Bluetooth-enabled device for music navigation and to view song/artist information.
  • Hands-Free Communication: The iHome iBN48 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. ATI SoundClear voice-echo cancellation technology ensures clear dialog that is easily heard. 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 iBN48.

Aux Input: The iBN48 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.

Rechargeable Battery: The iHome iBN48 Bluetooth speaker operates on an internal rechargeable battery or the included AC power adapter. The battery is easily recharged by the included AC power adapter.
