Not durable
By Patrick Bosque on 8/26/2010I bought this device about 2 years ago. Sound quality is good for a portable device. Battery life is ok. However, after using the device for about 18 months, the electronics started acting oddly. It would often need to be folded up then unfolded to reset something that would cause the device to "freeze" Recently it has began shutting off every 5 minutes, despite a full charge. For $130 I expected something more durable. -
Nice sound and appearance, but the remote is tricky
By JRW on 8/25/2010Basically I like the unit. I bought it for it's portability and quality. It fits nicely in a small travel pouch that I purchased.The sound is great (room filling).It goes just about anywhere and fits in almost any decor.But, I must say the remote is a little tricky at times which can be frustrating. -
Great buy for the money!
By Carrie on 8/24/2010My husband and I love this speaker system. We use it all the time with our iPod touches - in the house, out in the garage, on the back porch, at the beach, camping, etc. The battery life is great - not sure how long it lasts unplugged, but we've never run out of juice. The sound is good at reasonable volumes, even at the loudest I've had it, it still sounds pretty good. Also love that your iPod gets charged when the system is plugged in.
The only problem we've had is with the docking station. For some reason, my husband's iPod won't stay upright, so it won't connect without putting something behind it. Mine has always worked fine, though, so I'm not sure if it's the docking station or his iPod. The great thing, though, is that you can always use the auxillary cord to connect the iPod. I find this is great when traveling with it, as you don't have to worry about the iPod becoming unconnected when its being jostled around.
Bottom line: get this - you won't regret it! -
everything I hoped for
By cheryl on 8/22/2010I looked for a long time for a doc for my ipod. This is everything I hoped it would be. I have NO complaints...at all!
The sound is excellent, I can listen to NPR in my bathroom, it rechargeable and I can take it camping....that is THE BEST PART! -
very dissapointed
By Caterina Schiavulli on 8/7/2010I bought one for a friend and then decided it to buy one for myself the same thing happened to both items it worked for a while then you it stopped working you have to put somekind of support in the back so it could make the connection to the Ipod and have to hold it all the time...Piece of junk, I tried sending it back and I was told from Amazon that I have to contact the nanufacter. DO NOT BUY this item...
