Homedics DP-300 DocknParty iPod Docking Station White with interchangeable faces Review

Homedics DP-300 DocknParty iPod Docking Station White with interchangeable faces
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
It looks good, but it sounds terrible! I love that it can change colors to match your iPod, but a pretty package doesn't do much good if the sound quality stinks. The music comes out all distorted and crackly! Rather like a cheap radio trying to tune into a station too far away. We tried my iPod Nano and my husband's iPhone, both sounded terrible.

Creative Travelsound Zen V Review

Creative Travelsound Zen V
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
No matter how convenient it is to have a portable music player, there are times when you want to be able to listen to music "normally." The Travelsound Zen V is the way to do so with the Creative Zen V and Zen V Plus players.
It's very small, attractive, easy to hook up, and simple to operate. (You may have to update the firmware on your player, but the download is free on Creative's website, and the process takes just a few minutes.) There are lots of nice features. It runs on either 4 AA batteries or an included AC adapter. There's a USB input, an auxiliary line-in input, and a subwoofer output on the back. The manual is pretty minimal, but it covers the basic operation. The remote control is surprisingly convenient, but it is very small, and there's no on-board storage pocket or clip for it.
Of course, the most important aspect of any speaker system is the sound quality. The Travelsound Sen V is outstanding! It's amazing to hear the crisp sound from such a tiny system fill up a room. Obviously, you don't get booming bass from such small speakers, but the bass is very good nonetheless. The "wide stereo effect" button really works on this system; it creates an amazingly good stereo separation effect even though the speakers are actually less than six inches apart.
The Travelsound Zen V isn't cheap, but I think the convenience and quality are worth the price. I'm happy I bought it, and I'd do so again.

iHome iP40 FM Alarm Clock Radio for iPhone or iPod - Black Review

iHome iP40 FM Alarm Clock Radio for iPhone or iPod - Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I love this unit. It has great sound quality and I listen to it by the hour. I even went out and bought one for my mom for her birthday. We both even take the thing on trips with us we like it so much.
The only thing that was a bit of a disappointment is the volume on the alarm. It isn't very loud at all. If you wake to ipod you have to set the volume before hand. This means that you can't go to sleep to quiet music and expect to wake to loud music because it will come on at whatever the volume was set to last.

JBL On Stage Micro Portable Speaker Dock for iPod (Silver) Review

JBL On Stage Micro Portable Speaker Dock for iPod (Silver)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
[UPDATE: Suddenly the value appears to be with black and/or silver JBL Micros. In answer to a question, yes, the Micro comes with a small, compact power adapter. One caution: most iPod dock-speakers can be quite "fussy" about which iPod models they choose to charge and play or simply play and not charge. Check on the return policy of the product, especially if it's not coming directly from Amazon, and be sure to test it frequently and thoroughly for the first couple of weeks. It's not entirely clear what distinguishes the newer Micro II from this 2008 model, but I would assume that the newer model has been minimally tweaked to cover some newer players. Also, although Amazon's prices are among the most reasonable anywhere, some bargains can occasionally be found in warranteed refurb models through the JBL store (located on that "other" big site). Finally, in answer to the purists who find any discussion of speakers used to play MP3 files without merit, there are many degrees of compression in MP3 files, with 128 kbps by no means the "norm." Moreover, even at 128 kbps the differences in the quality of sound is often as dramatic as night and day among some of these little overachievers.]
Presently this JBL On Stage Micro is going for 60% below the price of any other color, making it a no-brainer pick-up among docking speakers normally selling on Amazon for $100 or slightly more. JBL is a stylish, quality brand manufactured by Harmon International--durable, dependable, crisp-sounding. Despite the sharply divided reviews, the sound quality of virtually all speakers in the $80-$150 range is the same, with minor variations subject to differences in taste. I've found popular rechargeable units such as those made by Altec and Logitech to be unstable--sometimes changing iPod models will throw them off completely, requiring a reset with no guarantee of a fix. The JBL Micro, on the other hand, can be depended upon to deliver with either its AC connection or AA non-recharging alkalines.
Best disregard low-end merchandise--iLuv, GPX, Colby, J-Win and, unless you're looking for a clock radio, iHome. The sound is best described as "plastic-like," clearly inferior to a monaural speaker such as that of a Tivoli, Sangean, or Boston Acoustics radio. If you want a substantially improved system, one that goes beyond merely "covering" the entire frequency range to "reproducing" the sounds of the actual instruments, think more in the $200-300 range and look for a Klipsch iGroove, Athena iVoice, or Bose Sound Dock (the drawback--they're not for portable, battery use).
[In response to some misleading reviews: the JBL Micro has proven one of the more durable systems in its price range, and it comes with exceptionally smart packaging (form-fitting, padded storage bag with places for the adapter, remote and cord), guaranteed to make a great impression even before it's been used. Finally, it indeed DOES have a volume control--the left button for softer; the right for louder. Bass is admittedly weaker than some models in this range, but treble is superior and power is ample. If you hear cabinet "rattling," back off on the volume of your source; if you get a loud "hum," simply do an off-on reset. And hang on to the tiny remote (or learn how to live without it). Harmon's answer to my question about a replacement is usually, "It's out of stock."

Jensen Jims-120-W Docking Digital Music System For Ipod Review

Jensen Jims-120-W Docking Digital Music System For Ipod
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this docking station with the understanding (as indicated in the description) that it would recharge an iPod Nano. But it won't recharge any new iPods (meaning anything produced within the past 12 or 14 months). The manual clearly states that it will charge iPod Nanos if the software is up to date, but this is not true. I telephoned the company that distributes it ([...]) and was told that there was a misprint in their manual and that there was nothing I could do about it. Amazon would not take it back because they do not themselves sell the product, and Spectra would not because 30 days had elapsed since I bought it (because it was a Christmas present for someone else and we did not realize its failings until January). If you have an old iPod that you have not upgraded, buy this, but otherwise do not.

Macally Flextune Flexible Stereo Speaker For Ipod/Ipod Touch Review

Macally Flextune Flexible Stereo Speaker For Ipod/Ipod Touch
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I decided to purchase the FlexTune system for a few reasons. The main reason was to replace my iHome with clock that did not light up my bedroom it a horrible blue light. The FlexTune does have a blue power led which I covered up with black electrical tape. Now my main problem was fixed.
2nd I like to have soft music playing when I sleep. The FlexTune puts out plenty of sound to drown out city noise sitting on my nightstand. It takes up very little room on my nightstand.
3rd reason is choose the FlexTune is because it will charge and position the iPhone in a horizontal position. Being I don't keep TV in my bedroom I just lay on my side and watch a few podcast before bed.
4th reason is I use the FlexTune as an alarm clock using the iPods built in alarm. The alarm plays thru the FlexTune speakers.
Is a great little speaker system. I might even buy another one for my desk at work.

Cambridge SoundWorks i755 Table Radio with iPod Dock Review

Cambridge SoundWorks i755 Table Radio with iPod Dock
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
After waiting almost 4 weeks for a factory repair, they sent a second radio instead of repairing the first one. After about 2 months, the second radio has the same problem -- the clock display freezes, radio stops functioning as an alarm clock, and the on/off buttons on the radio and the remote control do not work. Tech Support says to unplug, push the on/off button several times during two hours, and then replug to power. Same routine as for first radio; it worked for a while and then same symptom.
They will NOT give a refund after 30-days, even though the problem I called about was originally less than 30 days!
They will NOT give a refund!
What follows are notes from the first radio, that also failed in the identical way.

Motorola DROID 2 A955 Multimedia Docking Station Review

Motorola DROID 2 A955 Multimedia Docking Station
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I didn't purchase this Multimedia Station Dock from this seller.
I bought it from Verizon Store at the time of DROID 2 purchase.
I just uploaded some photos and as you will see, my "cased" DROID 2 fits into this dock perfectly. However, I HAVE to say, I had a problem fitting my droid onto this dock until couple of hours ago since this dock is somewhat confusing as to how it should be set up.
When I opened the box, I saw only couple parts needed in order to put this dock together. I thought, "how confusing would it be to just build this simple dock!?" and ignored the User Guide. Well, several seconds later after I pulled the dock out of the box, I realized my DROID 2 while its case on will no way fit into this dock base.
I was disappointed and put the dock aside for couple of weeks as I was contemplating on returning it. It seemed a lot of work having have to remove my case every day just to charge (...even for its good looks). I carry my DROID 2 in my purse with other things and carrying it without its case seemed unwise decision (the screen is protected by a screen protector).
So finally I decided to return the dock, and was double checking to see whether I included all the equipment back into the box prior to bring it back to the store. Then I glanced the User Guide and noticed it says (in rather small font) "Use the insert unless you have Motorola protective case on your phone" along with the drawing that suggests there is actually an insert installed onto the dock that you need to remove it if you want to use Droid 2 with the case!
I looked the dock closely to see if there really was such a thing called "insert" that was removable.
Well... there was!
It was fitted onto the dock so perfectly without much gap (though removed fairly easily) and I didn't even notice there was one until then!
Anyhow, I uploaded several photos so I hope they help someone out there.
It is my fault that I didn't take a look at the Users Manual. However, I wish Motorola made the package graphic in a way that was more self-explanatory than how it is now, in addition to stating it on the User Guide (in a larger font).
However, it's a good news if Motorola actually heard and fixed the problem from the previous model (Original DROID multimedia station) by making it compatible with DROID 2 phone while its case on this time.
Just like previous model (and as you can see on my uploaded pictures), this dock WILL NOT WORK with DROID X.
This dock does what's supposed to do (I would say battery recharge takes as much time as you'd recharge it in a usual way).Pros:
- Appearance (Looks good and able to glance at the screen without actually grabbing the phone)
- Compatibility (Fits DROID 2 with or without a case)
- Compactness (Compact enough to take it with me when travel to use it as an alarm stand)
- Durability
Cons:
- Set up was confusingProduct Description:
- Phone automatically launches multimedia mode when placed into station.
- Sit back and relax, watch your movies, listen to your music, see the album's art as
songs cycle through.
- Personalize your home screen while in the station by selecting your favorite widgets
and apps shortcuts.
- Turn your phone into a digital picture frame to scroll through your images.
- Display the weather, time, and set as an alarm clock.
- Convenient dimming feature for nighttime use.
- Charges your phone when used with included power supply.
- Includes an insert to allow use with DROID or DROID 2 by Motorola.

Altec Lansing inMotion Speaker Dock with FM Radio for Zune (Black) Review

Altec Lansing inMotion Speaker Dock with FM Radio for Zune (Black)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The Altec Lansing inMotion iM414v2 is an updated version of the iM414, which had a some fans and nearly as many detractors. Did Altec Lansing, a Plantronics company, get it right this time?
PROS:
- Good sound
- Easy to read LCD display
- FM tuner w/3 presets
- Aux-in
- Remote included
- Bass boost option helps
- Nice build quality
- AC or battery-operated (3xAA)
- Supports HD radio from Zune HD
- Now includes 3 adapters for multiple Zune support
CONS:
- Sound quality not as good as others, including other Altec Lansings
- Wire FM antenna difficult to tune and messy
- No clock function
- Mediocre value
Altec Lansing markets this as being for the home and office. I would have no problem using the iM414v2 in either location. Is it small enough to share space on my desks and provides good enough sound to be a compliment to any desk or shelf space. It does not however, take the place of my desktop multimedia system, which is not what the iM414v2 is intended for anyways.
SOUND QUALITY
For the size of the unit, I was quite impressed with the sound quality. The bass boost really does add some thump to the music, though the surround effect had very little effect. The high's were reasonably good but I found the mids to be rather bland. Again, these are portable speakers, so overall, the sound quality is good. The volume setting only goes to 30, but if you turn up the volume to max on your player, the speakers will present major distortion at 30.
FM TUNER
I found the tuning capabilities of the iM414v2 to be somewhat poor. The wire antenna is extremely long and not very effective just dangling towards the ground. I had to tape the antenna to the wall in order to get the best reception. I would have preferred a telescoping antenna like the MIX iMT800. You get 3 FM presets as well.
MISC
The build quality on the all plastic unit feels solid. The auxiliary line-in is a nice to have. Altec Lansing has now also included 3 different dock adapters for those with the Zune HD and older Zune's. The Zune will charge if the iM414v2 is on AC power but not on battery power, which is rated at 24 hour run-time. The LCD display is nice and clean but why not include a clock? Also, the warranty is just 1 year but if you register the speakers at Altec Lansing's website, they will extend your warranty to 2 years. Given some of the build issues from the original iM414, I would highly recommend everyone to register to get their free extended warranty.
SUMMARY
Overall, the Altec Lansing inMotion iM414v2 is a good speaker dock for the Zune. Time will tell if firmware changes improved on the older iM414. MSRP is rather high for such a basic speaker dock, but Zune users do not have many options other than using pre-existing AV equipment. If you've been getting by on your current configuration, I'd probably stick to that. If however, you didn't have your Zune connected to anything or would like something for the office, the iM414v2 is a decent option.

Polk Audio I-Sonic Entertainment System 2 Review

Polk Audio I-Sonic Entertainment System 2
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I got the I-Sonic 2 just about a month ago and I am still amazed at how good this thing sounds. I got a Bose and a Cambridge at the same time, niether come close and are going back. It was great to do a comparision in my own home.
I read a lot of reviews on the first I-Sonic; best I can tell Polk has fixed all of the issues. It doesn't get hot, the display is easy to read, and the controls are so simple I have yet to open the manual.
The iPod dock works with my iPhone and my video iPod and my iPod has never sounded better. Really, you will be blown away by how good this system sounds. I have the unit in my bedroom and it is a perfect place to store my iPod when I get home; keeps it charged all the time.
The HD Radio works well with the single wire antenna provided with the system. I have tagged a bunch of sounds and bought a few from iTunes; very very cool feature even if you just use it to remeber a song.
I am very satisfied with the system and would highly recommend it to any iPod owner, its a perfect match.


Click Here to see more reviews about: Polk Audio I-Sonic Entertainment System 2

The I-Sonic ES2 includes a second generation HD Radio tuner with full multicasting. With its advanced acoustical system, Digital Signal Processing, and new HD Radio tuner technology, the I-Sonic ES2 is one of the highest performing self-contained HD Radio products on the market. The I-Sonic ES2 accepts all iPod models with dock connectors in its top-mounted iPod dock, craftily hidden beneath a sliding door. S-Video and composite video outputs allow the user to connect a television or video monitor to the IES2 for viewing video content stored on a video iPod.

Four-Speaker I-Sonic Technology Polk's engineering breakthrough changes the rules for small system performance. Conventional table-top systems "beam" the sound straight towards the listener, even those with two speakers. At best, these designs can create a stereo soundfield for someone seated directly facing the unit. It's not at all satisfying for any other listeners in the room. Polk's exclusive, patent-pending I-Sonic design lets everyone in the room enjoy the rich sound. The I-Sonic stereo soundfield is projected all around. No matter where you are in the room, you'll get the full I-Sonic experience.
Deep Bass from Patented PowerPort Technology PowerPort venting technology belts out the kind of rich, powerful bass you'd expect from much larger stereo speakers. Bass ports redirect the sound created by the back of the speaker cone into the room. But conventional bass ports lose efficiency and create distortion because of air turbulence at the mouth of the port.
PowerPort vastly reduces air turbulence at the port mouth thereby reducing distortion and increasing bass output. This is the same technology used in Polk's legendary $10,000 Signature Reference Theater system. In the I-Sonic ES2 PowerPort delivers sound that is rich and warm, making all of your music and movies sound life-like and satisfying.
Advanced Digital Signal Processing Built into every I-Sonic ES2 is a Digital Signal Processor (DSP) with the processing power of a small computer. Polk engineers have programmed the DSP to ensure that you hear incredible sound at every volume level in every spot in the room. First, a Dynamic Loudness Contour automatically adjusts bass and treble response to account for your ears' frequency sensitivity at low volume. You'll hear rich, well-balanced sound even at late-night listening levels. The DSP also prevents distortion at high volume with its Dynamic Compression. Go ahead, crank up the volume and play air guitar to your heart's content. With I-Sonic the sound will always be crisp, clear and clean. Finally, the powerful DSP controls the time delay and frequency shaping that is behind Polk's exclusive and patented I-Sonic four-speaker technology. You'll hear full-bodied, huge stereo sound in every spot in your room.
HD Radio Technology Radio stations all over the country are converting to digital HD radio broadcasting. The chances are very good that your favorite radio station is or will shortly be broadcasting in HD. HD Radio brings you a host of sound quality, convenience and programming choice benefits. Your HD radio listening will be free of the static and multipath distortion of old fashioned analog radio. You'll enjoy CD-quality sound from FM HD stations and FM quality stereo sound from AM HD stations. You will never want to go back to analog once you've heard the HD radio difference.
The I-Sonic ES2 also allows broadcasters to show information on the display screen--information like artist/program name, song title, sports scores, traffic information and stock ticker.
Conventional AM/FM Radio The I-Sonic ES2 picks up all of the broadcast radio stations in your area. If your favorite radio stations are not yet broadcasting in HD you will receive standard analog AM and FM just like ay other AM/FM radio (only better sounding of course).
Sirius Satellite Radio (Optional) Add Sirius satellite radio with an optional add-on plus monthly subscription from the provider. Sirius boasts over 130 channels of digital radio, including 69 channels of 100% commercial-free music, live performances, artist interviews, and talk shows. Sirius is home to the NFL and over 40 NBA and NHL games a week, plus college sports.
Big names on Sirius include Howard Stern, Tony Hawk, and Martha Stewart. The Sirius bundle has a separate screen to display channel, artist, and song names, and plugs into the auxiliary port of the I-Sonic for high quality sound.
Built-In iPod Dock The I-Sonic ES2 has an integrated iPod dock on the top with a universal adapter for any size iPod, including the iPhone and iPod Touch. Listen to music or videos (Check Compatibility) through the dynamic sound of the I-Sonic ES2 speakers.
iPod Video with S-Video & Composite Outputs Use the integrated iPod dock to connect your iPod to the I-Sonic ES2 and you can stream videos directly to your TV via S-video or composite connection. Now you can watch and listen to your saved iPod videos easily, let the I-Sonic ES2 handle the hard stuff, you just sit back and relax.
Hear it. Tag it. Download it. Never forget it. Now it's easy to purchase songs you hear on HD Radio with the I-Sonic ES2 tagging feature and your iPod. Whenever you're listening to HD Radio and hear a song you love, simply hit the "TAG" button on the front of the I-Sonic ES2 to capture the song's information on your iPod. Then the next time you sync your iPod with your computer you will be able to download tagged songs via the Apple iTunes music store. It's that simple!
Tune into any HD Radio station with the I-Sonic ES2. When song information can be tagged, the tag button will light up. When you hear a song you like, press the tag button on the front panel or the remote (shown right). The TAG (song data) is stored in the I-Sonic ES2 and will store up to 50 TAGs.
Dock your iPod in the I-Sonic ES2 and TAGs will be automatically transfered to your iPod.
Sync your iPod with iTunes and your TAGs will appear in a playlist called "Tagged" in iTunes, ready for you to purchase directly from the Apple iTunes Music Store.

If you follow the instuctions it isn't too difficult, but chances are you will never use that feature anyway. These speakers sound great and are very portable, great for parties or taking to the beach.
As for the other person who's player died after three months, these things happen. Return it and give it another try. No product is perfect.

On the ipod touch it says that charging is not supported with this accessory. I bought it so it would charge while I was listening to music. Now when I'm done I have to charge my ipod. Please change the info so no one else buys this product that has an ipod touch. The sound quality is good, just the charging problem.

iSymphony V1BLUE Bluetooth Stereo System with Wireless Universal Dock for iPod (Black) Review

iSymphony V1BLUE Bluetooth Stereo System with Wireless Universal Dock for iPod (Black)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Received this as a gift. Seems to have many neat and user friendly gadgets. The synching of the ipod to the main unit via blue-tooth technology is neat, but frankly not needed as you still need power cords, etc for each unit.
What I discovered as I turned it on is the sound was TERRIBLE. On the packaging it states 200watts, however, the amp pushes 45 watts max. Oh and... the speakers are two 1/2 inch tweeters, 2 1 and 1/2 inch mids and a non-existant sub.
Having neat packaging, blue-tooth capabilities and a head unit that magically slides to the right so you can load a CD is great but when the sound quality is like any other made-in-china gadget, I must say pass. Don't make the mistake of buying this piece of garbage.

KONNET Sound Cube Quality Sound Speaker with Super Subwoofer for iPhone 3Gs, iPhone 3G, iPhone and iPod (Pink) Review

KONNET Sound Cube Quality Sound Speaker with Super Subwoofer for iPhone 3Gs, iPhone 3G, iPhone and iPod (Pink)
Average Reviews:

The first cube we ordered was very noisy when an iPod was docked to it. We tried 2 different iPods with the same result. We sent the unit back and the replacement wasn't as bad at first, but got noisier in just a few days. The unit is very nice otherwise with a great sound, but the interference was too distracting during quiet sections of a song or at low volume levels.

iLive Home Music System with iPod Dock (Black) Review

iLive Home Music System with iPod Dock (Black)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought one of these off of Ebay several weeks ago. It seemed to work ok. When I brought it in to my office the right channel went out. Well I monkeyed around and now it works good. The sound of the IPOD is pretty good for the price. The problem with the unit is the CD, it skips all of the time. Even if you put in a new CD. The AUX input is great to pipe in you PC sound or other sources. I liked this enough that I bought another one off of Ebay and the CD player skips as well. I hit the unit many times and now the CD's seem to work for now. I recommend this product for the sound, the AUX input and sub output. The CD is not high quality, CD decks have been around for quite some time now and GPX needs to find a better CD player for this unit. I will probably buy a portable CD and use the AUX input. I paid 40 bucks for the first and 16.50 for the second. The price is very attractive when compared to other units that offer a lot less options. So overall I recommend this product for those who want a lot of options at a good price.
