iHome Zune Clock Radio

[wrestlerby2010]

iHome has just released a clock radio for the zune. It's selling for $99 on iHome's site. Looks like a good quality clock radio/radio system.

.... semi old news.. but nice to finally see an alarm clock for zune. In general it got great reviews, except from Anything but ipod didn't like it quite as much.

I have the iPod one from when I had an iPod. I use the aux on it. But the sleep timer on it is great!

[wrestlerby2010]

Yeah, I know, ive been waiting to buy one for a couple months now. They just started selling them, so I just wanted to tell everyone here a ZuneBoards, that the Zune now has an Alarm Clock.

i just purchased one the other day from the website and it should be coming within the next 2 weeks so once it comes in i'll be sure to write a review of it for you guys.

i have it. its ok, but i have a few complaints. first of all, my zune will automatically sync with my computer wirelessly, which is cool, but in order to wake to the zune you have to que up a song. so unless you turn off your computer at night and make sure the zune has the correct screen up your going to wake up to the buzzer instead. also, the music will only play for a few seconds, then the buzzer will go off. i assume this is to ensure that you are indeed awake, but id rather jsut keep listening to the music as i get dressed and ready for the day. also, you cant control the zune from the actual radio except for play and pause. its awkward to scroll through menus while its docked, so that also sucks, unless you want to shell out 20 bucks more for the remote (if you can even find it.) so all in all im not sure it was worth $99 but as jsut a regular speaker dock that you can use for automatic sync and the like, its decent.

I can't wait until my BB opens, so I can use my ownage discount to get it for like $70.

where can u buy the remote?

[Ferd]

I bought one and I'm satisfied. I'd like to get the remote but I live in Canada and they won't tell me which model it uses. Bummer.

Anyone can tell me so I can order one?

[silent454]

seems kind of stupid to me, to buy a clock radio with a dock for any mp3 player, but to each his own.

[ducttape36]

the remote was backordered for a while but i just got an email today saying it was in stock. i ordered one and they gave me a coupon for my next purchase. since i already have the only zune products they offer i dont think ill be using the coupon within the 90 days it expires, so any one who wants to use it is welcome to. its for 10% off the purchase from ihomeaudio.com, just enter this code, iHome5FC585BB, when you check out to claim it. so instead of paying 99 bones you can get 9.98 off or whatever. im pretty sure you can only use this coupon once so first one to see this post and make a purchase gets it. enjoy.

hmm isn't there a program forthe zune which has the sae function??

Nevermind, I found it. It's the iRZ9.

And they won't take any canadian credit card nor PayPal. Damn it.

Guess I won't have the chance to buy one.

browse ebay for it

[sinistermaniac]

ok so i just got it today ZN9 today after about a week of insane anticipation and I've got to say this is the best zune accessory I have EVER bought. It works great (even without the remote), it sounds AMAZING, and it looks great with everything in my bedroom.

so if your looking for a new dock/alarm clock then the iHome ZN9 is a great buy

Yeah, thanks for the suggestion but eBay was of no help.

BUT I managed to reach a relative that lives in the US and she agreed to get me one.

Yay!
