About the iHome iP3
Sometimes you just want something simple. Okay, something simple with a sense of style — like the iHome iP3 powered speaker system. Its sleek, minimalist design features a fabric speaker covering and tinted accent ring. As for operation, just place your iPod or iPhone into its dock and press play.
The system features two full-range speakers and sophisticated processing that adjusts the signal in real time. The result is warm, natural, optimally balanced sound. Use the iP3's auxiliary input to play other portable devices. A component video output lets you enjoy movies and videos from your iPod on your TV.
From the review The iHome iP3 iPod/iPhone speaker system -- smart and simple
"Right out of the box, the system sounded great. Most of the tracks loaded on my iPod are in a lossless format, so there's plenty of musical detail for the speakers to work with — and they delivered. Now keep in mind that the iP3 isn't meant to replace your multi-component A/V system by any means. But for a single-unit powered speaker system, it did an outstanding job."
