Product Description
The Emerson iTone iP550 portable stereo system is a compact, portable device that lets you dock and charge any "dockable" iPod (as of January 2006) and play it through the built-in speakers. Because your iPod connects directly to the front-mounted docking system, this system is ideal for when you want to share your music with others, or for those times when listening through your earbuds is simply not an option. This system also features a digital clock and AM/FM tuner with a full-function remote control.

 Buyer Beware: POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD October 6, 2008
I recently purchased this stereo and was very disappointed. When I plugged it in for the very first time smoke started coming out of the back of the stereo. I quickly unplugged the stereo and returned it.
Mine broke and there's only a 90 day warranty January 3, 2008
This product was okay when it arrived - we wanted a battery operated device to take to the pool / beach. The sound quality was average, as was the build quality. Anyway it died a couple of months after I bought it (despite pool / beach use we'd been extra careful with it) and by the time I'd got around to checking the warranty I realized it had expired. Even if it hadn't the documentation was so poor I wouldn't have known how to get the unit fixed! Steer clear.
If you want good sound, this is not the one for you. April 15, 2007
I can't recommend this stereo to anyone. I first purchased the iTone E600Bk. I got it to use at work and it has great sound, but it's not a portable unit. There is no handle, and the dock sticks out on the front and I was afraid I might damage it taking it to and from work. So I bought the iP550 as a replacement. It doesn't even come close to the 600. The sound is shallow and flat and there are no adjustments. What a waste. The only good points about the 550 are it's light weight and it has a handle. Save your money and if you want good sound and don't have to have a portable unit, get the iP600.
 Not bad for the money January 6, 2007

I bought this unit for my office and I find that it does a very good job. Two drawbacks are the angle of the clock (hard to see viewing angle; you need to be almost on top of it) and it does not fit the 2nd generation nano properly (very tight - I was worried that I might bend the pins inside my nano. I used a larger adapter that came with the unit. The radio's stationary so no worries about it falling out)
But mostly I'm happy with the performance.
Won't even turn on January 2, 2007

I can't tell you how this product performs, because I can't even get it to power up. When I plug it in, I get no response from the unit whatsoever. I initially thought it was a power cord issue, but I tried two other cords I had and neither worked. I am extremely disappointed. I ordered the Jwin Electronics I552BLK to replace it.
