Imagine, a soda-can size bluetooth speaker and speakerphone that's easy to use and changes color based on the music you're listening to. That's the iHome iBT74 Color Changing Bluetooth Speaker and it's quite an impressive little device, as I explain in this review...

hey Dave Taylor here again and this time
0:05
I want to talk about the iHome
0:09
ibt74 that's this this is a color
0:12
changing Bluetooth speaker and speaker
0:15
phone but it's actually really fun so
0:18
let's give it a whirl and yeah I know it
0:20
would be nice if it was brighter but
0:22
then I would be a silhouette and that
0:24
would be very ominous like Witness
0:25
Protection Program ominous so let's give
0:28
it a
0:28
whir
0:31
now notice it's changing color based on
0:34
the music super
0:38
cool good sound good
0:40
[Music]
0:43
base and it is as if we are in the
0:46
jungle it's amazing
0:48
man
0:50
so iHome has been doing these devices
0:53
for so long they've really got this all
0:55
down so for example when you turn this
0:58
on it's immediately in pairing mode if
1:00
it doesn't immediately find so let's
1:03
let's immediately go backwards so you
1:05
turn this thing on and it immediately
1:07
pairs with the device that it's already
1:09
seen if it doesn't see one or or if it's
1:11
never paired with anything it goes right
1:13
into pairing mode so it's crazy easy
1:16
there's no buttons there's no special
1:18
things you have to do very easy you want
1:20
to know how your battery is doing okay
1:23
hold the button
1:24
down and battery level low battery level
1:28
low so it tells tells you how you're
1:30
doing in fact did you see the little
1:32
visual there think I need to plug it in
1:35
um let me give you a little closeup here
1:37
on the back there's a bunch of different
1:39
buttons but you can see it gives you
1:41
control over your phone call it gives
1:43
you there's actually five different
1:45
color settings where you can have it
1:47
just cycle through rainbow colors it can
1:50
just be solid on your favorite color it
1:52
can react to the music and I'm pretty
1:54
sure you can actually turn the color
1:56
display off if you want your battery to
1:58
last longer and volume up and down and
2:01
it charges through a micro USB cable
2:03
included so really really
2:06
straightforward and it has actually good
2:08
sound you know it's not room filling
2:11
sound but for a little device this size
2:13
as you hopefully heard it actually has
2:16
base it actually sounds good it makes
2:18
your music sound pretty decent and for
2:21
something this side which you can easily
2:23
have in your backpack or your beach bag
2:25
although as someone who spent a lot of
2:27
time at the beach as a kid really
2:29
listening your music really loud at the
2:31
beach I'm not sure everyone around you
2:33
really wants to hear it that's really
2:35
probably another
2:36
video um parties in your office in your
2:40
dorm room it's a very nice little device
2:43
super portable holds its charge pretty
2:45
long and actually will play for many
2:47
many hours and here's the good news it's
2:49
under 50 bucks so amazon.com you can
2:52
pick up this again the
2:55
ibt74 you can pick it up for $49.99 or
2:58
of course you can go to IH home
3:00
audio.com and you can check out all the
3:01
specs and everything about it on ihome's
3:04
own website iHome also has huge
3:06
distributions so I would be unsurprised
3:08
if you couldn't find this at a Target or
3:10
Walmart near you so Dave Taylor and
3:13
