I was looking for a speaker system for my ipod mini for an upcoming holiday, and I bought this item on the strength of the reviews I read here. I was not dissapointed either!! - it's quite remarkable how much power this unit can generate. The clarity is very, very good, and although the bass end is obviously not the beefiest (compared to a proper hifi unit) it does deliver a good punch, and the bass is still very evident, and retains very good solidity.
The volume controls are very easy to use, and I can't quite understand any complaints about them - you simply tap on them repeatedly to incrementally change the level up or down. The unit is solid, and a little heavier than i anticipated, but that can only helps the bass end I think, and there are no rattles when playing at high volumes, and let me tell you, this can really kick it out, but realistically, you'd probably only use it at half to 3/4 volume for a more than adequate volume for most uses.
Sound quality is retained at lower volumes also. The stereo image is adequate - the speakers are only 6" apart afterall!
I have noticed the same hiss that someone else mentioned (either on this or the white version), but have also noticed this is only when the screen on my mini dims! - I set it to not go off, and there is no hiss at all! - a quirk to be sure, but not enough for me to send it back, since it scores highly in all other aspects.
If you want a true hi-fi sound, then spend a few hundred on a hi-fi with big speakers and a quality amplifier, but if you want portability and power for your ipod, I think you'd be hard pressed to find a solution with comparable quality as cheap, and in fact, I have heard less quality from some hi-fi units to be honest.
Because of that small niggle on the hiss/screen dim, I would have given this item 4.5 stars, but given the value for money and overall high quality of the unit, it gets 5 from me!
Now - I wonder how many of these I could justify throughout the house.... ;) |
Very dubious before purchase but ++++++++++++++

I looked at this and thought "it looks plasticy, it can't possibly perform"...I recieved it and thought "it looks plasticy and it can't possibly perform"...I used it and was pleasantly surprised. I'm no audiophile, but I can't hear a fuzz that is at a frequency only dogs can hear. For a normal person this is perfect, yes there is distortion at the louder end, but that is at the very loud end!! The small issue I have is that my stubby little fingers are a bit clumsy on the volume button, ideal if your are an expert in morse code though.
If you want something that is reasonably priced and performs well this is the unit for you. I bought it for the kids but it has replaced my stereo system!!! Buy it...you can't go wrong. |

I bought these for use on holiday with my IPod Video. Not only were they small enough to carry, the sound quality was fantastic, they can be turned up very loud with little or no bass distortion and they charge the IPod in no time at all.
I have used them on a daily basis since returning from our hoilday and would say that these are fantastic value for the price. You will not be disappointed in the quality that they produce. |
