The iLuv i199 is the most feature-packed table radio in its budget price class, reviewers say. This radio includes a CD player, remote control and Bluetooth capability, as well as a built-in iPod dock. Although its sound quality can't compare to higher-priced competitors like the Cambridge SoundWorks CD 745i (Discontinued), especially at louder volume levels, reviewers say the iLuv i199 is the best value in its price range. The iLuv is meant for smaller rooms, and doesn't include any controls for treble and bass.
The most thorough review of the iLuv i199 table radio is at CNET, whose writer compares this unit to other radios. The iLuv is also the subject of a single-product review at Macworld and Laptop magazines, and it receives some owner-written ratings at Amazon.com.

Says Falcone in his rave review, "The impressive iLuv i199 provides a dizzying array of features--including iPod compatibility, CD player, AM/FM clock radio--you'll be hard-pressed to find on any other tabletop audio systems at this price." That pretty much says it all.
Review: iLuv i199, John Falcone, June 6, 2007
In this thorough review of the iLuv i199, this table radio receives a high rating of 4.5. Matthew Honan writes that it's a good value with a solid feature set. However, it's bulky and distorts at high volume.

Russ Fischer reviews the iLuv i199 mainly as an iPod dock. Fischer maintains it's a good value with lots of features, though it's not as nice looking as some other iPod-compatible radios.

There are a handful of owner-written reviews here for the iLuv i199 table radio/iPod dock. Owners are split. Half are positive, but the other half complains that it's lacking in volume, and that the lack of treble and bass controls is hard to swallow.
