Clean looks
But packed with featuresBongiovi DPS enhances audio Rechargeable battery makes it semi-portable
Big sound. Rechargeable battery. Works with AirPlay. Can charge your iPhone.
Rechargeable battery
Elegant industrial design
And solid sound.
Airplay for wireless playback
Builtin battery means you can take it any where you roam (in your home)
USB input for nonAirplay device playback
The rechargeable battery is great. At 50% volume level the battery lasts a little under 10 hours
And at full capacity it lasts four hours
Which is still more than enough time for most uses
Portability is another key feature of the iW1. Not having to
The editors didn't like
Computer setup had us gritting our teethScattered control layoutAirPlay is occasionally buggy
Touch capacitive plastic top is a smudge factory. USB input doesn’t charge iPads. Bass is a bit flat.
Ties you to iTunes
AirPlay inferior to Sonos network
Lacks hardwired Ethernet.
Battery life is questionable
Sound quality is just ok – not up to par in this price range
Airplay signal intermittently drops out
The biggest flaw of the iHome iW1 is the interface implementations. iHome has admirably tried to follow Apple's lead and create a portable speaker system that oozes minimalism
But they miss the mark in a couple areas. The button system in the back is a b
Abstract: Two years after Apple introduced AirPlay into iOS, there’s finally a broad range of speakers on the market that utilise the wireless technology. We’ve rounded up four portable models to see which one performs best. PioneerPROS: Waterproof; Wi-Fi direct...
The iHome iW1 AirPlay is a trade-off. If you value transportability, and you're OK giving up the audio quality of the better-sounding AirPlay systems out there, the iW1 is unique in being the first battery-powered AirPlay system on the market. However,...
Some distortion at high volumes; not as portable as we’d like
The speaker incorporates Bongiovi Acoustics Digital Power Station, billed as a “new standard for digital audio delivery”. This option does actually add punch to what is otherwise a fairly flat and neutral sound. With it, audio playback from the iW1 AirPla...
Niveau déjà élevé pour du nomade, Transmission Airplay, Sur batterie
Grave un peu en retrait
Cette enceinte Airplay est à la limite de ce qui peut être considéré comme nomade avec un encombrement et un poids certain. Mais on pourra s'en servir partout dans la maison ou même dans le jardin car elle est alimentée par batterie et la recharge se fait...
Le système sans fil, La batterie intégrée, La télécommande fournie
Rien
Un petit appareil certes, mais au caractère bien affirmé voilà ce que propose le iW1. Le son creusé dans les médiums est plutôt agréable à l'oreille et ne sature pas. Le DPS Bongiovi est un réel plus, tout comme le fonctionnement autonome de l'appareil...
Abstract: I grund och botten är Ihome IW1 är en stilren och välbyggd dockningshögtalare med relativt få finesser och bra ljud. Det som skiljer den från många andra varianter är att den har ett inbyggt litiumjonbatteri. Batteriet räcker i några timmar vilket räck...
Abstract: Hvis Apple havde fremstillet en højttalerdock, ville den med stor sandsynlighed have lignet Ihome IW1. Indpakningen, manualen, brugervenligheden – det hele oser af Apples karakteristiske æstetik.I bund og grund er Ihome IW1 en stilren og velbygget dock...
