Customer Reviews
Pretty nice while it lasted… by T. Paslay
$50 is steep for a mp3 remote, radio tuner or not. I decided to bite the bullet and pick it up anyway as I new I would get tons of use out of it at work. Which I did for about six months. Around the 5 month mark I noticed that I’d have to push the buttons two or three times before they’d register the command. Then it started to not carry the sound through, I would have to unplug it and plug it back into the ipod. Finally, it just stopped working. A co-worker bought one a few months after I did and his stopped working about a month ago.
I expect that kind of “craftsmanship” from a third party, knock off, company. I paid the extra money for quality and something that would work seamlessly with their product. I’d think twice about buying this device, or at least wait until it gets closer to the $20 range.
Just what the doctor ordered for the iPod, but… by José Santos
Definitely the Apple Radio Remote is a great asset
for the your aped but has plenty of room for
improvement.
1. Reception is not that great, and if you are confined within walls forget about listening to the radio.
2. An important feature is missing!
You should be able to switch, from this remote,
between listening to your iPod’s playlist and listening to the radio. Instead you have to go to your iPod’s menu and select MUSIC or RADIO and that sort of defeats the purpose of this “remote”, doesn’t it?
Still very happy with the new and useful feature it adds to my iPod.
disappointing by Herbert Steinhardt
Not very useful around my area. Doesn’t receive FM well at all.
Too many wires.
Just stopped working by K. Patterson
This worked great while it worked. Have had it about 1 1/2 years and it just stopped working (volume control cont. to work). Too much money for something that doesn’t last. Read similar complaints on Apple website while trying to troubleshoot.
