iLive IC609

Written By Gail, Ruidoso, NM on Friday, January 15, 2010
 
I bought this for my bedside, to listen to my IPod before sleep. Mostly, I use headphones to not disturb my husband. I like the size, and the fact that this product does have a headphone jack, but the buzzing when you play the ipod is awful. It is worse through headphones, but still quite evident through the speakers. I would not buy this product again.
