It also has a microphone, but this last 4 seconds. Enough said.
Sadly the flaws outweight the good within the product when playing music. Yes, the dog does learn to respond to your music and yes it does pretty much what it says on the box. What it doesn't do is allow you to just 'plug and play'. After 5 minutes it will shut itself off, which is very annoying if you wish to play music for upto a hour or so without disturbing it or yourself. There's no way to stop it doing this either, which has been highly frustrating.
Also when the head and ears move during music playing - they are loud. You have to have your ipod or music source near full volume to hide the noise the head makes when moving to the music.
Distortion is a problem at high volume.
The battery life (it requires 3 triple As) only lasts about 3 hours. There is no charge function within this product.
If you do not already have a dual jack headphone lead then you can pick one up online or from maplins (can be costly though)
But at the end of the day it is a toy and you get given what you pay for. Its worth the cost. I would say the age range is about 8+. Mainly a girly product as well.
A new black idog will be out in 2006. I get the impression another second version will follow shortly with a better database, less noise and better sound quality. If you do not have a lot of money to spare then I'd wait for a better quality product to be made.
Dead simple, absolutely great fun and packed with personality. For something so simple I have to admit I expected to get tired of it but he's still really good fun and the fact he can also be used as a speaker is useful as well
