Cambridge SoundWorks PlayDock XM - Speaker system Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you're looking for a great sounding powered speaker for your Roady, and don't plan to move it around very often, this could be just what you're looking for.The sound quality is very good, even at low volume levels.The sound is clear, with good range.

Battery life is about 8 to 10 hours, depending on volume level.The Playdock powers itself off automatically to extend battery life after the Roady has been off for five minutes.Unfortunately, there is no battery gauge.

But the PlayDock weighs enough that most of us won't be moving it around very often.Most people will probably leave it plugged in most of the time.If you're looking for a portable unit, keep in mind that the PlayDock weighs about as much as a bowling ball (I haven't weighed it, but I'd estimate around 15 pounds).

The controls are simple.The only controls are a power button, volume, mute and a "wide" button.Although the sound is well balanced, I was surprised to find no bass/treble controls.And a battery gauge of some kind would be nice.

Pro's:
Very good sound quality
Battery Life
Simplicity

Con's
Heavy!
No battery gauge

If you're willing to sacrafice weight for sound quality, I recommend the PlayDock.

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.

Kanto SYD 5 Powered Speakers (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)At 22 pounds and measuring 22 x 8 x 7.2 inches, the Kanto SYD5BLK I-Pod dock/speaker is not small or lightweight but neither is its sound (very good, rich and full) or its workmanship (beautiful, substance/heft with a gorgeous piano-black finish).Easy to plug in and use.Master volume on its backside.Remote control.You can also hook up a Zune but the remote is not compatible for changing songs (nor is the Kanto advertised for other systems).

Check out the product description for other specific details.The manual is small--not much to it.The front cover has a magnetic front protecting the speakers (or remove it exposing the speakers/see alternative photos on product page).The amazon packaging was excellent.

This sleek item arrived in perfect condition and we listened to tunes within moments.Sound is rich, full with no distortion at high volume.My husband's ear is finely tuned for sound quality and he is very impressed by the Kanto.

Haven't tried hooking it up to the computer or TV but see no reason this alternative use would be complex.If you've got the space, go for it.

The amazon product page photo doesn't do it justice if you're into electronics that are also beautiful...the Kanto SYD5BLK fits that billing.We are VERY VERY pleased!

Polk Audio miDock Studio iPod Speaker System (Black/White) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this product to play my ipod at home, and man, does it DELIVER!! I could NOT be more pleased!! It took about 1 minute to set up, and start enjoying the fabulous sound we've come to expect from Polk Audio. It even has a clever holster for the remote on the back.

If you're looking for something to take around with you, this may be too heavy. It's certainly easily transportable around the home, but I wouldn't want to walk around with it like a boom box. Polk makes smaller units for portability. But, if you're looking for an OUTSTANDING home docking station, this one is worth every penny and more.

Best $$ I spent since I bought the ipod...I'd give it 10 stars if I could!!!

Atlantis Multi-Media System & Video Output for iPod - SF-1001 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have tried the Altec Lansing iM600 firewire charging AND usb docking station, only to find out that my ipod touch 2nd generation does not work properly in it.I was very bummed out, as I had already had to return 2 other ipod docking stations!I found out that the iPod touch 2nd gen. is pretty much too new of a product for most of the current docking stations out there.Very few will actually charge the iPod touch 2 gen, and neither will this model.BUT,this was not my reason for purchasing the Atlantis.The Altec Lansing sounded pretty great, but was much more money and did not work for my iPod.I bought this at Sam's club for $29,so I don't know why it is listed on here for $169......but WOW it is a great deal for the price. The remote control is great, it has pretty powerful sound for a small boombox.It does not have a rechargeable battery in it, but I will rarely take it with me anywhere.Here are the pros and cons:
PROS
1. GREAT VALUE!!
2. GREAT SOUND,NO CRACKLING, FOR A SMALL SPEAKER IT PUTS OUT SOME GOOD SOUND.
3.SOUND FILLS MY KITCHEN AND LIVING ROOM.
4. REMOTE CONTROL IS EASY TO UNDERSTAND AND CONTROLS THE IPOD SONGS TOO
5. CAN PLUG IN USB OR SD CARD INTO PORT AND WILL PLAY MP3'S AS WELL
6. ALARM WILL TURN ON WITH IPOD AND SOUND STARTS GRADUALLY WHEN ALARM GOES OFF, SO YOU ARE NOT JOLTED OUT OF BED WITH A LOUD SOUND SUDDENLY
7. VOLUME WILL DEFINITELY GO REALLY LOW TO SILENT IF YOU WANT SO THAT YOU CAN FALL ASLEEP---ALSO HAS SLEEP MODE IF YOU LIKE TO FALL ASLEEP TO MUSIC SOFTLY

CONS
1. TAKES BATTERIES IF NOT PLUGGED IN.DOES NOT HAVE RECHARGEABLE BATTERY PACK
2. MAY NOT SOUND AS GOOD AS A BOSE OR HIGHER END MODEL, BUT DEFINITELY SOUNDS BETTER THAN THE IHOME CLOCK MODELS, AND AS GOOD AS MOST $150 MODELS.
3. IF YOU LIKE TO BLAST YOUR MUSIC, THIS MAY NOT HAVE THE GREAT SPEAKER QUALITY TO DO SO WITHOUT BLOWING THE SPEAKERS, BUT IF YOU LIKE TO LISTEN TO LOUD OR MODERATELY LOUD MUSIC THE SOUND QUALITY IS GREAT.
4. WILL NOT CHARGE IPOD TOUCH 2ND GEN ON THIS MODEL

I COULD PROBABLY LIST MANY MORE PROS!!!BEST $29 I SPENT

Sony LBT LCD77Di Shelf Stereo System (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My AWIA tanked a while back, and I was forced to get a new unit. AWIA was gonna be a tough act to follow. I'm not someone paid or 'encouraged' to write this either.

This is a pretty good unit. I hope it gives me lots of good years of service. It has a good, rich sound that fills my living room nicely. I have high ceilings and wood floors and the sound is good, not 'tinny' or high pitched. iPod, USB, aux. inputs are great. I like the audio controls O.K. but still want more than 3 layers/bands of an equalizer....The video screen is cool. GREAT picture. But it really has no appreciable function. Unless your in a dorm room maybe, but most folks probably have a laptop that has a much bigger picture anyway. It woud make for a decent digital picture frame, but it's still kinda small for that, and since it's sitting on a shelf or cabinet it's probably not gonna be in a great position to watch. At least that's how it is in my home. Still the picture is Very good.

SONY. All the bells and whistles on the unit, and no RDS?!?! (Radio Disply System) like on my cars radio?? How come that's not on here?? And why not a HD reciever? Those 2 things would have put this unit at 6 stars for me! And why not an option for some decent screen savers while the radio is on? If it's gonna have a screen saver, and the potential for great pictures! How come those LAME images? Since we can't play/see anything else while the radio is playing!

Forgive my whining...Those are just my ideas for improvements. For the money though, this is a good unit. It seems difficult to find a decent stereo these days, and this one fits the bill fairly nicely. Hope this helps. I'm satisfied. Oh and by the way. The distributor, and UPS got this there to me before the scheduled delivery date, and at Christmas Time!

Philips DC910/37 Shelf Bar 30-Watt Audio System with iPod Dock (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The quality of the audio is considerably below higher end iPod Docks, but it's passable for a dorm room kind of setting.The sound is very compressed and does a decent job in the vocal frequencies and not a heck of a whole lot else.That said, the sound is better than you get with your typical Sony/iHome alarm clock iPod docks and it isn't a whole lot bigger.It also can be louder than those docks.

The ability to load in a SD card or Flash card for music is a nice feature that makes this audio system quite versatile.The remote is easy to use and fairly intuitive.Yes, you can rotate your iPod and watch TV shows and movies, but honestly, who wants to watch TV on such a tiny screen unless you're on a plane (in which case, you'd be using earphones).

The build on this unit is not particularly impressive and I'm guessing that it won't last more than three years.Then again, I won't have my iPod touch at that time either and will have moved onto something new.

If you can get this thing for less than 100 bucks, it's worth it.More than that, and you probably can do better with another dock.

Teac MC DX32i - Micro system with iPod cradle - radio / CD Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I recently purchased this for my office.I wanted a small system with good sound that I can hook my ipod to.The system has good sound quality for its size.It is very easy to hook up.The only issue I find with it is that you need to point the remote directly at the stereo in order for it to work.This does not seem to be a problem for me as the stereo is in direct eye site of my desk about 30 feet away.The remote does allow you to work all the features of the ipod many other systems only allow basic functions.I am impressed with the sound quality and it provides plenty of volume to fill my office with music which is aprox. 700 sqft. One of the best stereo's I could find for the price, that included the features I required. "I purchased at Costco was less expensive." I would purchase this product again.

Panasonic SC-HC40 Compact Stereo System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)For a CD player with decent sound with an iPod dock for a small to medium sized room, this piece will work. I really like the size of it (very compact, smaller than I thought it would be) and the design of it. It's very sleek and looks great in our living room. The remote control is also better than I would expect for a system of this size. And, considering how strangely difficult it is to find a CD player with an iPod dock at a reasonable price, I'm glad I have this.

I only dock it down a few stars because of the sound. The sound is average. Despite some minimum controls like bass and treble, the unit just doesn't produce a crisp, sharp sound. It can definitely fill a room, which is great, but for true audiophiles and stereo-quality sound, I'd advise to look elsewhere (and probably at a higher priced unit). My wife loves it and thinks it's great. I, however, can tell the sacrifice in sound quality. It's not bad by any means, just a few notches below the best out there.

It's also more difficult than it should be putting in and taking out CDs.

For us, in its particular room, function (size and design) wins out a bit over quality. When I buy a bigger home with multiple rooms, I'll upgrade to a more traditional stereo system.

JVC NXPS1 Audio System with iPod Connect Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Ok, I got these speakers because I loved the little digital receiver and the tight bass sound, even though I already have a Creative I-itrigue L3800 computer speakers.First off, the built quality is great and sound quality is phenomenal for a sub/equal to $[...] speakers.The four cubes design is very modern, small and compact.The digital receiver you see in the picture is the same size as the speakers cube.The tiny subwoofer is one of the best out there.

Sound comparisons:
I am going to compare this to my older L-itrigue 3800 that is my standard for computer speakers.I am playing this off a Sound Blaster's Fatality sound card.The L-itrigue is much better overall for sound.It produced excellent high and mid range sound, but good bass.This NXPS1 produced excellent low (bass) and midrange, but only good high.The NXPS1 is a better choice for hip-hop, rap and drum and bass Jazz (Boney James), since the bass is a lot tighter and sounds fuller.I prefer vocal, trance/dance, classical jazz, rock and the I-itrigue is way better.You can hear the vocals (S. Brightman) for rock (Duran) and alternative (Bush, Travis) music much cleaner on the Creative, but kind of muggy on NXPS1.Other music like new age (Engima), trance/ techno (PVK), lounge (St. Germaine) music, and some jazz also perform much better on the I-itrigue with better high, so you get more ambient atmosphere: chiming.The I-trigue bass crack at higher (max) volume then the JVC.The JVC power output is similar to Creative, but seems get much louder, both are powerful enough for computer use.

Features:
JVC hands down is better or cooler, but there are some features that bugged me.First, this is designed for iPods, but only support 4th and 5th generation iPod, so my 3rd or 2nd generation iPod from 2004 will not work. This is also listed in the user manual.The USB audio on the back of the receiver produce a max. of 16bit 48000 Hz, which is a joke, the sound is so flat compare to my Sound blaster card max sound rate of 24bit 192000 Hz.This will produce a higher sound fidelity/range.So I have to run my cable from the sound card to the front panel of the AUX input.The USB memory card will read mp3 sound excellently, but doesn't read my napster's wma.The JVC receiver has more features then the Creative one, like the USB and IPod input, both have headphone and AUX input.JVC has play, pause, stop buttons and a digital track on the receiver that works for the USB memory, but doesn't affect my iPod at all, nor does the remote.Both have a mini remote that looks like they were manufacture from the same factory, but JVC has 2x the buttons on it.Also the JVC have a digital timer, sleep and timer, which only a few sub-100 speakers has.

I think the JVC is a great overall speaker for sound and features.Too bad the Creative I-itrigue 3800 sound is a little better, but most people can't really tell.I will keep both for now.

Altec Lansing inMotion Max IMT702 Speaker System for iPod and iPhone (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've read a lot of reviews online for this product, and the biggest hangup seems to be with the ipod related features, overall looks, button sensitivity and so on.Very few actually focus on the sound quality, which for me is by far the most important factor in choosing a sound system.I've owned the IM600 and Logitec Pure-fi Anywhere speakers, and this system is light years ahead of those, and any other similiarly priced portable ipod speakers in overall sound quality.This system in on par with the Bose SoundDock II portable system and is quite a bit cheaper.The only drawback to the sound is that it isn't going to blow you out of the water with incredibly deep bass.That being said, I don't think there is a portable system out there yet capable of producing significant bass due to their smaller size.Bottomline, if sound is your driving factor in choosing a rechargeable ipod speaker system and you don't want to pay $350 for the Bose SoundDock portable, the InMotion Max should be your #1 choice.

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.

Philips Executive 30-Watt Micro Speaker System with iPod Dock (Black/Silver) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great little box in almost every way, and so it is more useful, I think, to say what the downside is.

The CD player remembers where it was only during the pause-state, and the pause-state doesn't last very long.Turn it off, and you've lost your place.This is a minor issue, because a small pad and pencil an resolve it.

Considering that the external FM antenna, in my location, does not have to be extended, it would have been nicer to have an FM antenna built-in and just have the external antenna for those of us far from a signal source.

Other than that, my wife has been delighted to be able to listen to any kind of current CD, her iPod, or a USB flash drive with music files on it (the drive has to be formatted as a Windows flash drive, which can be done on an OS X Mac as well as on a Windows PC), or listen to the radio.

The sound is very pleasant to listen to and is high quality considering the size of the speakers.In fact we intend to get a second one for another location in the house.

Product Highlights

USB Direct Connection
With the USB Direct mode, you can simply select the music on a USB device and playback all your content. All you have to do is plug in your USB device to playback music or export content from the device.
Dynamic Bass Boost
Dynamic Bass Boost maximizes your music enjoyment by emphasizing the bass content of the music throughout the range of volume settings--from low to high--at the touch of a button. Bottom-end bass frequencies usually get lost when the volume is set at a low level. To counteract this, Dynamic Bass Boost can be switched on to boost bass levels, so you can enjoy consistent sound even when you turn down the volume.
Digital Sound Control
Digital Sound Control offers you a choice of pre-set Jazz, Rock, Pop, and Classic controls that you can use to optimize the frequency ranges for different musical styles. Each mode uses graphic equalizing technology to automatically adjust the sound balance and enhance the most important sound frequencies in your chosen music style. Ultimately, Digital Sound Control makes it easy for you get the most out of your music by precisely adjusting the sound balance to match the type of music you are playing.

iLive IBCD3817DTBLK Portable Boombox with iPod Docking Station and CD Player/AM/FM Radio with Premium Stereo Sound and Remote Control in Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)UPDATE - 9/19/2007:I WROTE THE COMPANY VIA E-MAIL.AFTER A COUPLE OF E-MAILS, THEY WROTE BACK, TOLD ME THEY WOULD HONOR THE WARRANTY, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS EXPIRED, AND REPLACED THEUNIT WITH A NEW ONE.THE COMPANY STOOD BY THE PRODUCT.THE NEW UNIT IS AN IMPROVED MODEL, AND IT IS MUCH BETTER.FOR THE PRICE, IT'S AN PRETTY GOOD VALUE.AT LEAST THE ONE WE HAVE WORKS NOW.THANKS TO iLIVE FOR BEING A STAND-UP COMPANY.We purchased this unit at a Kohl's in Arkansas in April.It is a cheaply made unit.If you turn up the volume very loud, the CD player will skip, so apparently there is no anti-skip feature.That's extremely annoying.The unit began to give problems just after the 90-day warranty (imagine that!) and now it will not turn on at all.The clock display will appear if the unit is plugged in, with the time of 12:00, but you cannot set or change it.The iPod will charge, but will not play.We are going to throw this hunk of junk in the trash.I certainly cannot sell it to anyone, as it will not function or play, PERIOD.Perhaps another manufacturer has a better quality type of iPod boom box that will work well.Whatever you do, PLEASE do yourself a favor, and avoid this product like the plague!I intend to write the company over this most disapointing experience.

Product Description:
A great gift for iPod owners everywhere, the iLive IBCD3817DTBLK portable boombox integrates a built-in iPod docking station with a slot-loading CD player and AM/FM tuner, making it a true all-in-one portable audio system. The unit starts with the iPod dock, which plays and charges your iPod 3G, iPod 4G (click wheel), iPod photo 4G, iPod video 5G and 5.5G, iPod mini, and iPod nano 1G and 2G. The CD player, meanwhile, supports CD, CD-R, and CD-RW formats, letting you listen to any CD tracks that you haven't yet uploaded to your iPod, along with a friend's CDs. Finally, you can catch up on the news, listen to the game, or catch a commercial station via the AM/FM tuner, which offers a number of station presets for easy channel surfing.
The IBCD3817DTBLK owes its high-quality 2.1-channel sound to its pair of front-firing stereo speakers and dual subwoofers, which combine to produce a rich audio performance with a surprisingly deep bass response for such a compact unit. Also adding to the audio quality is a built-in equalizer with several preset settings, including rock, pop, jazz, classic, and DBBS. And thanks to the full-function remote control, you can control the CD player and iPod from a distance. Other details include a sleek black housing; a six-digit blue backlit LCD display with a digital clock and timer; CD track programming; a 3.5 mm auxiliary input for connecting other audio players, like an iPod shuffle or MP3 player, an audio/video output for connecting an iPod photo or video to a TV; a stereo HP jack; and a comfortable carrying handle. The iLive boombox, which runs on AC power or eight D-size batteries (not included), measures 18.8 by 8.8 by 9.2 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a 90-day warranty.
