Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This ipod speaker system could have been great, except for its one big flaw. That one flaw being the alarm on this clock goes from what ever volume setting you have it at to max volume in about 4 seconds. The max volume is VERY loud. It more or less renders the alarm function useless in my opinion. 1 way around this problem is to use the alarm setting on the ipod itself and make sure you have the ilive set to the ipod setting before going to sleep. This way, the ipod alarm will activate and still play through the speakers. Although, this does eliminate the purpose of having an alarm on the speakers themselves.
Anyways, other than that, the best thing about this system is its remote. While most remotes allow you to change tracks, volume and turn the system on and off, this one allows complete control of the ipod. You can change tracks, change albums, change playlists and highlight tracks as if scrolling through the click wheel. I wish all remotes were this useful. Its also quiet compact and sounds pretty decent for 70 dollar speakers. Plus this thing can run off 4 AA batteries, which makes it nice for tailgates or parties.
I would say if you already have an alarm clock and want a decent set of portable speakers, pick this one up. most other systems in its price range dont offer the remote thats as useful as this one.

An ideal unit for iPod listeners on the go, the iLive IC2807BLK speaker system is compact and easy to carry, with a diminutive housing that measures only 9.5 by 1.25 by 5.75 inches (W x H x D) when folded. As a result, you can take the system just about anywhere, from the backyard to the park to the campsite. The unit is equipped with an integrated iPod docking station that supports all iPods with 30-pin dock connectors, including the iPod 3G, iPod 4G (click wheel), iPod photo 4G, iPod video 5G/5.5G, iPod mini, and iPod nano 1G and 2G. More importantly, the unit produces a bigger sound than expected thanks to the front-firing, acoustically calibrated speakers. Simply pop your iPod into the dock and you'll receive crisp, satisfying sound wherever you go.
The IC2807BLK offers more than just an iPod dock, however. The system also sports a backlit LCD display with a digital clock and a built-in alarm, so you can wake up to your iPod while traveling. The 3.5 mm auxiliary input, meanwhile, lets you connect other audio players to the speakers, including an iPod shuffle, MP3 player, or portable CD player. Other details include a mini-USB jack for PC communication (includes USB cable); A/V output jacks for connecting an iPod photo or video to a TV; a full-function remote control (includes battery); and a bonus carrying pouch for easy transport. The IC2807BLK, which runs on AC power or four AA batteries (not included), weighs 2.5 pounds and is backed by a 90-day warranty.
