great buy!
The iHome iP97 is a good music machine for your home or small get togethers with an impressive sound quality for the price ($85-129), huge display, good FM reception and a very handy remote control. Bear in mind that you may need to get the insert adapter for your specific iPod, as it happened to me with the Nano 5G because is just comes with 3 of them (iPhone 3g, nano 4g, touch). I hope this helps you as many other reviews hlped me!

- 3D sound really works
- huge display
- Does not work on Batteries (not portable)
