And the adjustable dimmer has an option to turn off the display entirely-nice for light sleepers like me. There’s also a backup battery (actually a pair of double AA cells) that makes sure you don’t miss your alarm if the power goes out.

For example, if you plug in your iOS device, you don’t even need to manually set the clock-just press the Clock Adjust button on the back of the iA100, and the unit will update its time from your device. The iA100 also sports a few nice above-and-beyond touches. The iA100 also has a pretty high volume ceiling, so it can fill a bedroom easily-in fact, I found it took some tweaking to get the alarm volume to a point where it wouldn’t startle me awake in the morning. The unit’s default levels result in audio that’s a bit thin, but the built-in Bongiovi Digital Power Station option (which is active by default and can be toggled on and off with the DPS button on top of the unit) helps flesh out that audio considerably. You can adjust the bass, treble, and midrange levels by pushing the EQ button in the back of the unit and then using the Previous or Next buttons to change the levels. In terms of audio quality, the iA100 may not replace your main stereo system, but it’s capable at what it does. Sound quality was passable on both ends in my test, about the same as that of any speakerphone. You can answer and hang up on calls directly from the iA100, but you can’t use it to initiate calls. If you pair it with a Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone, the End and Talk buttons on top of the unit light up in red and green, respectively (a nice UI touch).
The iA100 can also act as a Bluetooth speakerphone. IHome+Sleep app, which lets you control many of the iA100’s functions from your iOS device, as well as adding bedtime and wake-up reminders, social networking integration, weather forecasts, and sleep stats.

While you’ll find the iA100 has plenty of features of its own-including dual alarms, a built-in speakerphone, and adjustable sleep and nap timers-you’ll get more out of it if you download iHome’s free The iPad 2’s thinner form factor also makes it lean back a little further which, although it made me a little nervous, didn’t seem to affect its stability. Both worked fine, although docking them was a bit frustrating, thanks to the angle of iA100’s dock connector. I tested the iA100 with both the original iPad in Apple’s iPad Case and an iPad 2 with a Smart Cover folded behind it. To accommodate i-devices in cases, the rubber strip that surrounds the dock connector is removable, revealing a recessed groove that provides more room on the bottom for the case. Instead, it features a raised, tilt-able dock connector with a bar behind it for your device to lean against. Unlike many docking speaker systems, the iA100 doesn’t use Apple’s While I generally don’t find remotes extremely useful on speakers that I mainly operate at arm’s length, the ability to control the speakerphone feature (more on that later) from the remote is a nice addition that could help make the iA100 a more capable system for elsewhere in your house. It provides access to most of the audio-playing functions of the unit in a logical layout, though all the buttons are the same shape, so you’ll still need to look at the remote to use it. Still, since the labels are all on top of the unit, it often takes some guessing to find the button you want.Īlso bundled in the package is a small remote, about 5 inches long, 1.5 inches wide, and less than half an inch tall. Only the Power, Snooze/Dimmer, Bedtime, and Wakeup buttons are raised, though the configuration of the playback controls (three buttons instead of one long unbroken rocker switch) makes them fairly easy to find. For one thing, they’re hard to distinguish by feel, and I found myself frequently hitting the End and Talk buttons instead of adjusting the volume. The controls are logically laid out for the most part, but there are some frustrations in using them from bed.
