 works great June 28, 2006

Worked great for my 15GB ipod. Unpacked, plug in, put my ipod in, press play and I was good to go. Using it in a 12 x 12 office at low listening volume and find it to be just fine.
Sound is great June 27, 2006
Very pleased w/item. Compact. Easy to move from place to place.

I tested this product quite a bit when I was looking for a home stereo system for my iPod. The sound is okay at a low level--it's actually better than I'd have thought considering the size--but distorts quite a bit when you turn it up much. You also have to adjust the settings on your iPod to get it to play well--there's a small speaker option on most of them. The upside of course is that it's portable, so you can take it with you on a trip or wherever, and it's cheap. For me, however, it comes to this: when I pay as much as I did for 'the next generation' of music (the iPod) I want it to sound like the next generation of music. With that in mind, I prefer a higher end, better sounding stereo system.
Nice and Portable but disappointed in sound May 22, 2006

I bought this on a trip back to the US for use in my office or hotel room when I wanted to listen to my 60 Gig Video Ipod without headphones. It's a great little package with a variety of adapter plugs (I use it in Switzerland and France) which is a nice touch for portability. Of course, it can also run on batteries. Can't use it while I have a silicon cover on it though as it's a snug fit.
I have been somewhat disappointed however in a slight buzzing noise that emanates from the left speaker when the volume goes over the equivalent of 2 or 3 and have had to change the EQ setting on the Ipod to 'small speaker' to get rid of it. The results seem somewhat muffled.
 Horrible at Best March 31, 2006

This speaker system is terrible. Once the product was properly set up, I hooked up the appropriate wires and turned it on. To describe the sound that came from that device... It was beyond bad.
To start, the sound was only coming fully from ONE of the TWO speakers. This resulted in sounding like something you would hear from a cell phone- not a stereo speaker system.
Next, I went to change the currently playing song. As I touched the iPod, the sound suddenly became horribly distorted. It was so unpleasant I wanted to immediately shut it off. And this is supposed to be portable as well? Right.
Also, the product comes packaged with a few inserts to fit the various generations of iPods available. These are a joke. They don't "fit" into the product at all- they "rest" on top of the product.
Finally, the construction of the system is poor. The material of the system and its components feels as though it was originally intended for a child's toy. A consumer would be better off buying a second dock from Apple and a set of computer speakers- which would probably cost about the same if not less.
