Ditch the Buzzer and Wake Up with iHome GlowTunes

After a busy day consumed by work and errands, nothing sounds better than hopping into bed and drifting off into a quiet, peaceful night’s sleep. But not too far into my slumber, a loud, obnoxious buzzer interrupts my sweet dreams… my alarm clock has a funny way of greeting me in the morning!  Let’s face it, nobody likes to be woken up by something that sounds like a foghorn.

Just in time for the back-to-school season, the new iHome Glow Tunes system provides a modern, attention-grabbing alternative to a typical alarm clock.  You can dock your iPhone or iPod to the system and fall asleep or wake up to your favorite songs as it charges your device.

The sound system’s ability to playfully change base colors sets this alarm clock apart from other iPod speaker dock and clock units. You can easily set it to display one color, slowly fade into different colors, or have it pulse to the beat of your own music or the radio. If you don’t have an iPhone or an iPod, the iHome Glow Tunes also includes a line-in jack that plays CD, MP3, and other audio devices.

Combining the necessary features of an alarm clock with cool extras, the iHome Glow Tunes system makes a great addition to college dorm rooms or teen’s bedrooms. Thanks to the color-changing base, you can even have impromptu disco dance parties with friends. A remote control is also included for easier song changing while dancing. When the party’s over, the iHome will still wake you up in the morning with your favorite song.  It’s subtle things (like waking up and singing to your favorite tune) that make it a little easier to wake up on the right side of the bed.

Disclosure: Mom Central received an iHome GlowTunes unit to facilitate this review.
