DO NOT buy this product. So there went the main reason I bought the i7500: to play my iTunes. The company has also removed the i7500 from its own web site as a product for sale, so that should tell you something. I bought the iLuv 7500 and was very happy when it arrived on Dec 23, 2008, even though the so called "Super-Woofer" --- which holds the iPod dock -- was woefully underpowered. You'll be sorry if you do. WRONG. I figured what can you expect for $130, right. The Superwoofer-iPod docking failed completely after 8 days and no one -- I mean NO ONE -- at iLuv will respond to my repeated requests for support.
I was so excited to have this for my iPod and it's just been a disappointment. It is particularly annoying since it also doesn't play each CD and it's very difficult to see if it's even trying to read the CD or not. The remote doesn't work very well--sometimes pressing play will change the function from CD to mp3. I received this as a gift and within a couple of months the light on the LCD stopped working. I would not recommend buying one of these. We got another as a replacement since it was still under warranty. It was impossible to read what the machine was doing. A little more than a year later and the "new" one is doing the same thing.
The only major problem is the sound. This unit works fine. It doesn't have a lot of volume and the sound is a little tinny. I have had it about a month and have had no problems. All the controls work well.
With this, you just plug in a memory card or thumb drive with music files, and it plays off them -- no batteries needed.The only reason it's not a 5-star is because I wish it had even more wattage for even bigger sound (but it does sound very good -- I just like my stereos BIG). I couldn't find ANYTHING remotely like this -- something that could play stored music off memory cards and USB thumb drives. Yes, lots of stereos let you play MP3 players through them, but you are running the MP3 player off battery power, and have to change the battery every 15-20 hours.
but still a great buy for the price.The blue Screen stoped working on me after 3-4 months :( I just wish the sound would go up a little more but its still a great iluv sound is loud & clear. Also hoped the super woofer would be controled by the remote.
