Memorex Mi2032 - Portable speakers with digital player dock for iPod Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)For the money, not a bad product. The sound quality isn't bad at lower volumes -- not great at higher volumes. It's compact enough to sit on a corner of your desk and enables you to watch podcasts and videos on your ipod. Another bonus is that it charges.

Harman Kardon Go + Play Portable Speakers System with Dock for iPod (Black/Silver) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Pros:

Best sounding ipod dock under $500. PERIOD!!!!!

Phenomenally deep and **REFINED** bass for something the size of a toaster.

Bass is definitely NOT the only thing this does well.It's performance on the full audio spectrum (yes, that's midrange too) is also best in it's class!

It's portable!!

(*Cons listed at the end... where they belong)First off I have to address the price issue.I, for the most part, think that the "made for Ipod" logo is license to over price.Almost no Ipod dock is truly worth it's price and I believe for what they do and what they sound like, the are **ALL** over-priced.

That being said, amongst the myriad of overpriced ipod docks, this one is THE ***MOST WORTHY*** OF IT'S PRICE TAG.

Compared to all of the other premium ipod docks this one is amazing. I can say that with confidence because I shopped around for MONTHS before I settled on this one.The only dock that sounds better in this price range is the Geneva Lab Model M which cost $499 (also worth it), which is NOT portable.(little do most consumers know, there are ipod docks that now cost up to $5,000 and more!!!)

The sound out of this thing is so very refined and robust when compared to any ipod dock you would find at the Apple store or any bigbox retailer.They only way you can find anything better is to look at items sold on-line (Geneva Lab) or at very High-End retailers.There probably is no other 'portable' dock that sounds any better.But don't let the word 'portable' fool you.It sounds the best when compared to ANY dock.

I was very surprised at how great this sounds in a noisy Apple store, but wait until you get it home!

WARNING:If you plan on using this thing in a small room with four walls it's Bass may be a bit too strong for you!DO NOT mistake this for BOOMYbass.There's just A LOT of strong deep bass, and BOY IS IT WAAAAYYYY DEEP for something that is about the sizeof a large toaster!!!Instead of boomy crappy bass, in a small room, this just sounds like you have a nice expensive subwoofer in a very nice home theater set turned up a bit too high.This is NOT a problem if you like a lot of bass, as it isn't for me.

What separates the Go + Play from other docks is that it's not just good at Bass (it's better than all of the others at that, by the way), but it's great at the full audio spectrum.It actually has a strong midrange presentation and really nice highs/treble as well. So many other ipod docks (as well the entire BOSE product line) impress consumers with largeamounts of bass (notice I didn't say good bass) and simply decent performance on the rest of the audio spectrum.By the way, this is probably the only dock that actually gets up to 20,000 Hz (20kHz), for those of you who know what this means.Do not expect that out of the Bose, Altech Lansing or Apple docks.

I would definitely say that this is the Audiophile's Ipod Dock in this price range for sure!!!! (if an audiophile would ever, first of all use an ipod and then use an 'ipod sound dock' at all).

I must mention a con or two.

#1 -YOu will not get the same amazing sound with this is operating on it's battery power.This is VERY VERY loud when plugged in, but the volume is limited when unplugged (still no distortion, however).The bass extension and quantity is also, noticeably, cut by about 1/2.I am sure this is done in order to have it last 18 hours on the 8 D batteries as advertise (it actually does last a very long time by the way). Make no mistake though, you still get a ton of bass for something you can carry around in your hand anywhere.You're peers will still be impressed .Note that nothing else is lost.It's treble and midrange performance remains the same.

#2Your ipod faces up when docked in this dock and you cannot see the screen from afar.This is not a problem me, but may be for others.I tend to just make large play lists and have play in "shuffle" mode anyway.

#3.The remote is fragile.

Designed to Entertain
For more than 50 years, Harman Kardon products have delivered--through extraordinary industrial design, innovative technologies, and meticulous engineering--the ultimate listening experience. And for the past 10 years, Harman Kardon has used these techniques to develop some of the world's best-sounding and most-striking-looking multimedia products available. Whether for your computer or your iPod, Harman Kardon multimedia products deliver rich, high-quality sound from systems that look just as good as they sound. In fact, the Harman Kardon SoundSticks system is now in the permanent collection of New York City's Museum of Modern Art. So hook up your computer, dock your iPod, or connect nearly any other audio device, and enjoy the ultimate listening experience from the world's ultimate multimedia products.


A World-Class Listening Experience on the Go
The Harman Kardon Go + Play features an eye-catching industrial design that delivers an incredible sound experience from most dockable iPod models, MP3 players, or other audio devices, no matter where you happen to be. Using an arching stainless-steel handle and a flat protective cradle for keeping your iPod secure, the Go + Play works equally well on the go or as a personal home entertainment system.


Using proprietary speaker design and technology, the sound quality from the Go + Play is simply stunning. And with flexible connectivity, this incredible sound can be had from nearly any audio device, not just your iPod. There's even an S-VHS output so you can watch the videos from your video iPod while enjoying their sound in incredible detail through the Go + Play speaker system.


With an included wireless remote control, using the system is a snap. The remote gives you full control of and access to your music, however and whenever you want it. The Harman Kardon Go + Play system is the perfect combination of functional design and unparalleled sound quality.


Flexible Connectivity
Great sound shouldn't just be limited to a stand-alone system in your home. You also should be able to have great sound from your music devices when you're on the go. With the Go + Play, you now can enjoy great sound wherever you happen to be. Take it with you anywhere; it works with both the included AC adapter and on batteries. You can rock out for nearly 18 hours from just 8 D-cell batteries, and there's even a handy battery-save feature that will save your battery power when the system isn't in use.


When it comes to connecting your musical devices, it couldn't be easier. Do you have a dockable iPod? Simply place it in the flat protective cradle, and instantly enjoy the sound of your favorite musical artist. The Go + Play uses a OnePoint iPod connector so that, by connecting a standard USB cable to the rear of the unit, you'll have a connection that enables you to synchronize your iPod with your computer. The Go + Play will even charge most iPods when they're docked in the cradle. Don't have an iPod? Well, you can still connect your MP3 player, portable CD player, satellite receiver, or computer through the Go + Play system's 3.5-mm input using a simple cable.


The system even has the ability to connect to a television or display device using an S-VHS connection. Now, watching movies, TV shows, and other video content from your video iPod is just a connection away--and you get to listen to them through the high-performance speakers built into the Go + Play.


Advanced Technology
To deliver unmatched high-performance sound, the system features a number of proprietary technologies, including dual-proprietary Ridge transducers. They're made from aluminum, which is inherently strong yet lightweight. This design allows these drivers to reproduce sound with unparalleled accuracy and detail for their size, and means that your music will be played back with a rich midrange and crystal-clear highs, without distortion.
The included wireless RF remote control gives you the freedom to enjoy your music from across the room, in another room, or even from outside--from up to 20 feet away. Click to enlarge.




To deliver thunderous bass, the Go + Play uses dual Atlas woofers, which maximize audible output. The Atlas woofers are a high-excursion design, which allows them to deliver the bass response of much larger woofers, and means you'll hear tight, deep bass that will make your music sound more dynamic.


Powering the speakers are two 30-watt Harman Kardon amplifiers, which are designed to deliver high output with minimal distortion. The system even uses highly advanced digital signal processing and equalization to deliver cool, efficient power.


All of that technology comes together in the Harman Kardon Go + Play system to provide a sound experience--whether on the go or in your personal entertainment space--you need to hear to believe.


Easy to Use
No need to be a rocket scientist to use the Harman Kardon Go + Play system. Its elegant, stainless-steel touch-volume controls mean that a single touch increases or decreases the volume. And with the included wireless RF remote control, you have the freedom to enjoy your music from across the room, in another room, or even from outside--from up to 20 feet away. With full access to your iPod, you can easily change tracks, browse libraries, adjust settings, and scroll through extras. It's the perfect way to enjoy your Harman Kardon Go + Play system, no matter where you happen to be.

Vestalife Ladybug Portable Speaker Dock for iPod (Red) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have this excellent product. I like it so much I take it back and fourth with me to work everyday. I grew up poor but happy and now that I am on my own, I like to make sure I am getting my moneys worth of anything I buy. This ipod dock may be small but don't underestimate its high quality and simple design because of its size!

I compose music and am acutely aware of the tonal frequencies when listening to my music in different speakers. These speakers are extremely high quality and have a surprisingly full spectrum of sound. The high end frequencies (5k-20k hrtz) are crisp and clear and the low end frequencies such as the bass (80-140) and even a minute portion of sub the bass (40-79) comes through very nicely. I was really surprised and just sat there looking at these little speakers in amazement the first time I plugged in my ipod.

The handy remote makes it so convenient while at work, I don't have to get up and go over to the cabinet across the room when I get a call or some one stops by my office. The remote also accesses menu options on your ipod! I can find a new play list, choose to shuffle or repeat with the remote!!! Sometimes during lunch when I am out at the coffee shop with free wifi, I drain my ipod battery by downloading new apps or movies. Plugging in my ipod to this dock charges it back up!

I have to admit, I did not have to purchase this because I won it as a bingo prize. Had I walked past this little thing in a store I would not have given it a chance but now owning it for a week now, I absolutely love it! It is worth the money they are charging on Amazon!
It is an extremely high quality product!

I may even add a video response for this product later...

Altec Lansing iM9 inMotion Mobile Speaker Dock for iPod (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Excellent for travellers, but as a fellow audiophile, I have had to accept some shortcomings of the amp. The speakers are full range and the enclosure has no harmonics of its own which is rare in portables. Bass is warm and drives down low enough to make you wonder how the 2 little 2 3/4" drivers can produce warm bass guitar chords with aplomb. The tweeters are efficient and high sensitivity. Infact, they are accurate with music but also reveal both a benefit and a flaw of the design:
If you want to fall asleep to it next to your bed, the background hiss thats present at all volumes consitently(it doesnt get louder as you turn it up)this hiss could annoy you. I can sleep to it, but end up facing the tweeters away from me to attenuate the hiss. I only notice it between songs and when I am in very quiet settings. If you can tolerate placing it away about 6-10 feet and don't mind hearing the hiss during very quiet sections, its a great unit. I never notice the hiss outside or at engagements or with others. If you want something thats built tougher than other items I have owned both by Altec and other vendors, I will add that the battery capability is why you need to deal with the shortcomings of a Class D amp, whereas IC based solid stateunits are cleaner on the sound, but will never let you crank tunes for 8 hours on the beach at good volume so you can actually hear the sound will wading/swimming close to shore. The conveniences, and ALTEC's time to market with an evolved product explain some of the nuances I describe, but this will not be a choice I second guess, I have HiFi where I need it, at home, in my car and via my $500 headphones, but at the beach, in a hotel pool, or after nice day on the boardwalk, its a great way to share music for hours with good sound, great design and outstanding build quality. I chose it over their iM3, iM5 and the iM7 wont do, its too big! The iM11 has good sound and less hiss but not for the on the go, outdoors types. This item appears to have been well thought out and will be an addition to anyone who wants to utilized their ipod on the go in addition to an active lifestyle in environemnts less than optimal for the desk monger speakers so ubiquitous in the iPod speaker arena.

MTX Audio iThunder Portable iPod Boombox (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this boom box thinking that it will sound almost like the hi-fi, just because the brand (mtx) and how god are their car speakers and subwoofers. But I'm a little disappointed, it sounds god, but when you put in high volume the speakers sounds with distortion. The bass is to strong, you must equalize your ipod to bass reducer or treble booster.
Conclusion: don't buy it if you want excellent sound quality, if you want that buy a hi-hi (I already did it) if you don't care about it and don't want to spend that kind of money I think is the best choice.

Boombox Digital Am/fm Radio Remote Control 20 Watts White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I had, well I actually still HAVE but I can't USE, a Memorex iMove Mi3005.

I paid around $100 for it and really loved using it for the two years it lived.We're pretty well-stocked in the way of iPod accessories (iLuv clock/radio, iPod dock on our surround sound, iTravel, and then our PCs themselves), so I only actually used it outside and on a couple of family vacations.For us it did the trick, playing my iPod while relaxing with friends outside during our 3 1/2 months of summer here PLUS it was portable enough to take when we went away.I loved the way it looked with its built-in handle, and never thought the sound was lacking.I actually never thought anything about it was negative at all.Until now.

Just today, after not using it for the past eight months I plugged it in and went to turn it on and NOTHING!The power pack attached to the electric cord shows the green light, but hit that on/off button and absolutely nothing happens.Oh, well, the display did illuminate for a nano-second on one or two of my tries, but that was about it.Googled the problem and it seems I'm not alone.Quite a few others have posted this issue in several different forums but there's not ONE solution posted at all...just that others are indeed experiencing the same problem.

So I'm kind of in the middle here.I liked it a lot, but I bet I'd used it no MORE than 40 or 50 times.Was it worth the money for two years of only occasional use?Ummm, for me, no.And I'm kinda bummed because ***I*** was the one who out-and-out refused to take my boombox down to the beach for fear of ruining it (always stayed up in the beach house)!So it was well taken care of...nothing I did to cause this problem, of that I'm sure.

Take this for what it's worth.They've REALLY come down in price so you might want to give it a shot...it wasn't a bad product while it worked.As for me, I just bought a Logitech Pure-Fi Anywhere.We're going to see if we have better luck with that one!

Philips DC1010 CD Sound Machine with iPod Dock (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)There are no other reviews for this "sound machine" yet, so I thought I would share my experience.I wanted a portable speaker unit with a CD player for my ipod, since I use both CDs and my ipod for my work.

This "sound machine" does have the ipod dock, CD player and AM/FM radio.It also has a bass-boost button (which sounds like it "boosts" the bass a little).
It also has a decent volume level.

First problem, this ipod dock did NOT come with the adapter for the most recent Nano (4th generation).Therefore, the Nano just kind of looks silly sitting in the large opening in the front of the player.Because of this fact, I was concerned that it would be easy to bump the Nano around and potentially cause damage to the connector.(I do not know if this can actually happen, I am just assuming that it could, since the Nano does not appear to be properly secured.)

Secondly, the sound quality is only fair.It sounds tinny (if that's a word) and almost a bit fuzzy, like a radio station that's not perfectly tuned-in(that's the best way I can describe it).It's not static, but it was noticeable enough that I instinctivly rechecked my power cord connection and ipod placement.
I have a less expensive, but comparable CD player (without ipod dock) that has MUCH better and clearer sound than this.
No, the price of this player/ipod dock is not high, I still expected a bit more.

Third, the "sound machine" just looks cheap.It's just the first impression I got when I opened the box.Again, my cheaper CD player looks nicer and sturdier than this one.

We are sending our machine back and have decided that, for this price, maybe we will just buy a dock/speakers without the additional CD player.
Good luck, maybe I am just super picky.

Philips DC185 Sound Machine with iPod Dock (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I say medium because this thing is a little bit bigger than some iPod docking stations I've seen, but it has so much to offer.Great sound quality as far as my ears can tell once you turn DBB on.Comes with a radio which is a bonus for me because I wasn't really looking for one with a radio, but I have used it, and the quality is great and I pick up every station I pick up in my car.Also allows you to have up to six preset stations which is nice if you do use the radio a lot.

It works great with my iPod (80GB Classic), and I'm sure it works fine with any other iPod.One of the things I like is that if you turn the player off, for whatever reason, the next time you turn it on, it takes about 1-2 seconds to load up and starts up exactly where you left off.Heck, it takes me longer to resume my song with the iPod manually than it takes this thing to resume.Also, the buttons on the stereo work great with iPod.Very easy to navigate the menu's with it, though if you have alot of songs it might take a while to get from A to Z, though you can still use your wheel if you need to get that far.Also has buttons that you can use to turn shuffle on/off, as well as turning repeat on/off for the current song, or the current playlist.

Let's see...the volume on this thing can actually get very loud too.I keep it on about 10 when I'm listening to it, and if I put it on 15-20 I can hear it fine in another room...and it goes all the way up to 32, which I haven't even tried yet.I can't imagine how loud it would be.It also has DBB which, to be honest, without it the audio is terrible, but turn it on and it's like a miracle, though it's like that with any stereo with DBB really.Comes with different covers for the dock so you can use it with a Nano, Classic, Touch, or other popular iPod's.Also comes with an auxiliary cable so you can plug in another MP3 player if you don't have an iPod.

Now, one of my favorite features...a USB port.Simply plug in any USB flash drive with music on it and listen away.I have used four different USB flash drives on it so far, one 1GB drive, two 4GB drives, and an 8GB drive.All of them work seamlessly and takes less than a second to load up and play...even if it is filled up with songs.Had 5GB's+ of music on my 8GB drive, and all I did was change the source to USB and the player started playing in less than a second...it's that fast.Using USB also has the ability to turn shuffle on/off, or turn repeat on/off, again for the current playlist (which in this case would be every song on the drive) or for the song currently playing.The auxiliary option obviously doesn't provide these options as you're simply transferring the audio to play out of the speakers, but you can still turn repeat/shuffle on via your device.

All in all, this is a great stereo, with great features.Sound is perfect and loud, and also create's a nice home for my iPod to keep it when I'm not using it, and charge it at the same time.And it's nice to have because before I was having to plug my iPod into my PC and listen to music off my iPod through my computer (using SharePod), and it was getting kind of annoying, so this thing is great for me.Also accepts C batteries so you can carry it with you and listen to your tunes with ease wherever you go.Would make a great portable player if you want to go outside by the pool, go to the park, or something similar...even has a nice handle.

It's true, what the other reviewer said, the plastic probably isn't the best in the world, but as long as you aren't throwing it off balconies it really shouldn't break.Really, I think any stereo that you drop is probably going to be a bad thing...not just this one.And I've actually knocked it over twice now, with my iPod inside, and it kept playing and wasn't damaged at all...and it kept the cover closed with my iPod secured inside, so I'm glad about that.

Also plan on taking some pictures and adding them later so check for those.

Memorex Mi3005BLK iMove Boombox for iPod (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I spent a lot of time searching for some type of speakers that were not going to cost a lot for my daughters iPod Nano.I wanted to get something that would recharge the iPod while she was listening to it and something she could carry around.
The iMove comes with 8 adapters for most iPod's (4th Generation, iPod Photo, iPod w/Video, iPod mini, iPod nano).It did not come with an adapter for the new metal case iPod nano, but Memorex offers a free adapter if you call them at 1-800-321-6993.
The sound is descent and as good as anything I shopped for in the price range up to $120, has a digital display and comes with a radio which is nice as well.

Product Description:
The iPod perfected the art of listening alone, but what's the fun ofhoardingyour favorite music? Now it's easy to share all your favorite iPod tuneseverywhere yougo with the Memorex iMove boombox. Equipped with a built-in docking station thatpowers and charges all iPods with dock connectors, along with an integrated handlethat's perfect for on-the-go listening, the iMove is a must for college students,peoplewho work outside, and anyone else who hesitates to stay in one place for long. TheiMove is distinguished by its SRS WOW sound enhancement system, which improvesthe dynamic audio performance of your iPod tunes. SRS WOW accomplishes this byproviding a panoramic, three-dimensional audio image that extends the sound fieldinboth the horizontal and vertical planes. In so doing, the technology lowers theperceived low-frequency response so that your ears hear more bass despite thesmalldriver size. It adds up to an immersive, high-quality audio experience that fillsany roomin the house.
The iMove also comes with a digital AM/FM radio--a feature that's notably missingfrom many iPod speaker systems--and several station presets for easy channelsurfing.And, perhaps most importantly for a portable system, the boombox runs on both ACand battery power, with support for eight D-size batteries (not included). Otherdetailsinclude a white backlit LCD display, a sleek black housing, an auxiliary input forconnecting MP3 players and other audio devices, and a wireless remote that letsyouadjust the volume or skip to the next song from anywhere in the room.
The iMove, whose built-in dock holds the iPod 4G (click wheel), iPod color, iPodvideo5G, iPod mini, and iPod nano 1G and 2G, measures 15.7 by 8 by 6 inches (W x H x D)andis backed by a 90-day warranty.

iLive IS208B Stereo Speaker System with iPod Dock (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Don't buy this player.
Like some other reviews have pointed out this unit can fail suddenly. About about a month of use the speakers suddenly stopped working, no sound would come from a docked iPod or from the aux input port.
A quick search on the net informed me this is a common defect of this unit and customer service is no help.
Customer service (the manufactures, iLive) has not responded to emails.

Memorex Mini Move with iPod Dock (Pink) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this to use with my ipod when I didnt want to use earbuds. It is my second one. I gave the 1st one (in black) to my husband. He wanted one for his office to use to charge his iphone as well as play his music. I went looking for another and found it in pink (matches my ipod:). It has a really good sound for the price, is light weight and packs easily. I have not tried using batteries because I haven't needed to.I have not used the radio either but I didn't buy it for that.If you are looking for something inexpensive, small and moble with good sound quality toplay your ipod or iphone this is a great buy.I can turn it up pretty loud with no static or feedback from the speakers but if you are looking for something to blast everyone out at the beach, I suggest you keep looking.

Kicker iK501 Digital Stereo System for iPhone and iPod (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)A friend of mine bought one of the high dollar BOSE iPod systems which I found very impressive, and which my wife became enamored with. I, however, was not inclined to spend $500+ on a boombox, refined or not.

The Kicker iK501 is actually a bit bigger than the BOSE, and sounds quite good. On the down side, it doesn't sound quite as refined as the BOSE, and if you want to use it outside, you don't have the rechargeable battery thing that the BOSE includes. The iKicker only works plugged in to the wall using its' "brick" in-line power supply. You don't get battery operation - or battery woes - with the iKicker. Both Bose and the Kicker sound very clear and have the "good-car-stereo-sound-in-a-box" thing down pat.

The iKicker has deeper and louder bass than the Bose. I haven't measured it, but my ear is pretty good from listening to high end stereos over the years, and I suspect that the Bose system is probably better EQed for smooth, flat frequency response and there is clearly some level dependent EQ going on that I suspect is tweaked to match the human ear at various volume levels. After all, that's how Bose made their bread-and-butter with the 901s 40 years ago: Dr. Bose's little speakers sounded fantastic with the equalizer before the power amp in the circuit turned on, and lame as all get out without the electronic equalization.

The Bose has no tone controls at all: the iKicker has Treble and Bass that you can adjust to taste and volume level to get a ***VERY*** good sound, which is fairly comparable to the Bose. Listening to acoustic music through either system is great. The iKicker sounds clear and not overly colored by the speakers, although I do think the Bose is a tad more "neutral" sounding, which may or may not be good depending on your taste. For Rock and Roll, I think the sound of the iKicker is actually a bit better than the Bose, and although I'm not into it, I'm sure the hip-hop crowd would think the Bose is lame by comparison for that genre. The iKicker has a passive radiator on the back driven by the woofers to augment the bass, and you can hear and feel it working. The midrange is clear and well-defined. Crisp highs make the high hat sound like it's in the room. And did I mention the iKicker can get LOUDER than the Bose? It can probably keep up with most house party crowds; I doubt the Bose could cut it.

I use a 4th generation iPod Nano with it, and the remote control works the Nano as best I can tell, although I haven't really spent the time to figure out the iPod OS in great detail. But it does all the basics if you are too lazy to get up off the couch. It has a blue display to help you make adjustments to volume, tone, balance... the usual suspects.

But the *really* big plus over the Bose is the PRICE, WAY less than half of the cheaper Bose, and less than a third of the good one. I think I got it for around $165, IIRC, which I thought was within reason for a **very** nice boombox that can keep up with the "big stereo" in most of my friends' living rooms. Of course you have to add the cost of the iPod to that, but you end up with a great-sounding jukebox you can move around without much hassle that will play *all* your music without the hassle of changing CDs, and with NO fragile, dangley cord attachments. The only dangley part of the iKicker is the power supply brick, which is pretty substantial and looks sturdy. No puny connectors or chords. The iPod plugs right in in the front just like the Bose system. Construction looks solid.

I don't think anyone could be all that unhappy with either system. But for my money - and I LIKE good sound systems - the iKicker makes more sense.

Jensen JISS-115 Portable CD Boombox with iPod Dock Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After reading the first review I was worried this would be a piece of junk.Ours has worked flawlessly so far.We bought this docking station as an xmas gift for my 8 y/o son and I have to say it is a great device. It is feature packed.It has just about everything you could want from a docking station/boom box combo. I particularly like the fact that it charges your ipod while it is docked and has an AUX input so I can play any device with a 3.5mm jack.We have owned two other docking stations including a Yamaha PDX-30...with no AUX jack :(... and an O'KESTRA Portable Surround Sound Speaker 360 Degree.We listened to numerous other docking stations before we made these purchases mainly at BB and the Apple store.I'm not an audiophile but I think this unit has rich, deep, clear, true audio sound.My much more expensive PDX-30 has much more bass but this blows the O'KESTRA out of the water in terms of fidelity and loudness.My daughter is jealous that this one has a digital tuner rather than the knob on hers which makes it easier to find a radio station.For the money you will not find a more feature packed device.As for the cons, If I could change one thing it would be the glossy finish.I think think it makes the device look cheap (I know, I know...it is cheap).I would be able to keep it in the kitchen for the world to see if it had a more classy matte finish.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED PRODUCT!!!

iLive iB209 Portable Speaker System for iPod with AM/FM Radio (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have had good results in the past with iLive products but this is a dud. I purchased 2 for my kids to use as "speakers" in their rooms for their iPod Touch.The good part is that they fit nice and securely in the product.The bad.... STATIC.The radio was mediocre quality, but to be fair, it is an am/fm radio, not a stereo.I could have lived with everything except the static on the iPod "channel".The only way to reduce the static is to crank the volume.My son tried to listen to it at night, and when the volume is low, it is horrible reception.Even when the iPod is off, and the unit is powered on and set to "iPod" there is static. They are on there way back.I was hopeful that it would work well enough, but alas, static killed the purchase.I would look elsewhere.Both of the units I got created the same static problem...
