2 IN 1 Stereo Speaker/Headphone System review

In the marketing materials for its latest audio accessory, iHome asks the question: "Why buy speakers and headphones?"

Headphones that do double duty as speakers; affordable.

As speakers, they sound pretty bad; as headphones, they only sound OK; not all that comfortable as headphones; questionable long-term durability of the hinges and rotation points that will be getting frequent use as you go back and forth from headphone...

iHome's iHMP5 2-in-1 speaker/headphone system is an intriguing concept, but it falls short in the performance and comfort departments.

I can't believe how great the headphones are and the sound when you convert to speakeers is great. All you have to do is take them off your head snap them together and now everyone can hear what you're listening to.

The volume control in speaker mode doesn't amplify the volume enough and there is no joining piece to keep the headphone wires together where they split to go to each side of the headphones. For the price though, these are ok.

Item arrived in previously opened condition and item was defective. Purchaser must pay cost of return ($5.45) to receive refund ($14.99) or replacement.. In my world, 'new' means in unopened package and not in 'open box' condition. If I wanted to...
