The iLuv i399 is a large portable iPod stereo measuring about 19 inches wide, 8 inches tall, and 7 inches deep. The front cover includes a large mesh speaker grille that conceals two 3.5-inch speakers. The right side of the top edge has a negative LCD with white backlight that displays the time and current input selection, but the clock does not include an alarm function. The main control buttons rest in front of the LCD, and to the left is an iPod dock, plus two small doors that hide the headphone jack, the auxiliary jack, and a connector for iLuv’s BluePin Bluetooth adapter.
Two battery compartments grace the back, one for the unit’s main power, which comes from a whopping eight D-cell batteries, and a second for the clock backup, powered by two AAA cells. That’s a lot of battery power for one stereo. There is also an extendable metal antenna for the i399’s radio, a clip for holding the remote, and two handles on the sides for carrying the iLuv i399.
The 4-inch subwoofer is on bottom of the device and includes a blue accent light that pulses to the beat of your music. This light is rather ineffective and is only noticeable in songs with an overpowering bass line. You can turn off the light by holding the mute button for three seconds. A small remote control and AC adapter are included along with four dock adapters for the 30GB and 60GB fifth generation iPod and the first and third generation iPod nano. You can dock an iPod without an adapter, but this increases the chance of damage to the iPod or i399 if someone bumps the stereo.
Even though the i399 control buttons are located in front of the LCD screen, I found it more convenient to use the iPod’s controls. The buttons are just too small and hard to read, especially because there’s no backlight, so you can’t even see them in low light. The only button that was easy to find was the large Power button located by itself the all the way to right. Another control issue lies with the preset options. You can save up to 20 different radio presets, but there is only one button for cycling through the list. This made it a hassle to get to the higher numbered presets and if you accidentally go too far you must cycle through them all again to get back to the desired location.
