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:

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.

Onkyo DS-A2X Remote Interactive iPod Dock Review

Onkyo DS-A2X Remote Interactive iPod Dock

Onkyo DS-A2X Remote Interactive iPod Dock
I recently purchased a Onkyo 605 Receiver. As advertised, it is a superior product. I am very happy with it. I then purchased the IPod Remote and Adapter for the Receiver, figuring there would be advantages of using the Onkyo branded product with their Receiver. Well, Onkyo must have used the A engineers on the Receiver and put their B engineers on the Accessories. The DS-A2X Remote, is disappointing, at best. The interface is something out of the 80's. It is all text, like an old DEC terminal. Not very Ipodish.
I would strongly suggest looking at other products out there first. There are many others (Tuneview, DLO Dock) which offer a more elegant user interface.
This is the first product I have every had to return to Amazon.
If you are taking the time to put together a top-notch system, you will be very dissapointed with this. I cannot understand why Onkyo would have released something like this this when they obviously did not spend the time to create a "best of class" product.

The next-generation Remote Interactive Dock for the iPod, the DS-A2x, brings the iPod even closer to Onkyo's world. With the ability to accommodate video files alongside audio, the DS-A2x brings out the full potential of the latest iPod models combined with Onkyo A/V sound quality. Also, with an on-screen display function enabling you to view music track lists, this Dock ensures easy navigation through your music options via its dedicated remote control. The DS-A2x's cradle-type build - with an easily color-matched black exterior - neatly supports the iPod, and even recharges while the Dock remains connected to an AC power supply. And like its predecessor, the DS-A1, it brings you even more functions to choose from when connected through an Onkyo component's Remote Interactive (RI) terminal.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The Wal-Mart's around here (NC) have been selling these units on clearance for $50. I'm honestly amazed how good the sound is from this relatively small unit. It's very clear with great range. Even low-range has a nice thump to it.
Now I don't have an ipod right now, I'm just using the AUX input. However, this device can apparently control any ipod avaliable, including ipod Videos. Yes, it's got TV out.
Build quality is actually very good. It's rather heavy and everything feels very tight. The three buttons (power, volume up and down) all have a satisfying click to them. I wish I could say the same about the credit card remote (which is required for most features) but it gets the job done.
The display is just a basic, inverted LCD. The clock always displays, but also is stuck in 24-hour mode. To the right shows the station or volume. That's about it; perhaps more avaliable when an ipod is being used, but again, I don't have one.
All in all, highly recommended!

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

JBL On Stage Micro Portable Speaker Dock for iPod (Blue)
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."

iHome iH8 Clock Radio for iPod (Silver) Review

iHome iH8 Clock Radio for iPod (Silver)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Update Feb 7, 2010.... I wrote my original review almost 2 years ago. And, as I said, I liked the unit so well that I bought a 2nd. But now that I've used them for a couple years, they both have become unusable as alarm clocks. I assume dust has worked its way under the wheels used to set the clock. Now you can spin the wheels but the alarm time remains the same. Happened on both units. Call me old fashioned but that is too soon for these things to wear out...and the fact that both units have the same problem indicates a design flaw.
Also, I was not pleased that with my newer iPod connected, my radio would just be total static. It was tolerable, only because I preferred to wake up to the iPod, but I should be able to wake up to the iPod and radio, not just to the iPod or static.
So, I've changed my rating from a 4 to a 2. These things weren't that expensive, but combine the design problems with the fact that both units no longer allow me to change the time of the alarm, and it makes this product something I would not recommend.

Coby Portable CD Player with AM/FM Radio and iPod Docking (Black)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The positives: Sound is great, ipod input jack is well designed with various inserts to match different ipods, and controlling the ipod from the remote is a fun feature. Small enough to transport with ease.
The negatives: 2 simple features were not well thought out. 1) The radio is nearly impossible to use, as there is no display (digital or otherwise), so one cannot know where one is on the dial. 2) Oddly enough, the remote control could be used to navigate the ipod, a fun but a completely necessary feature, but cannot do the more useful action of adjusting the volume of the speakers.

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 400P Speaker Dock for iPhone/iPod (Black) Review

JBL On Stage 400P Speaker Dock for iPhone/iPod (Black)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I read up about several iPod speaker docks before I decided on this one. The gizmodo ipod dock face-off helped a lot in my decision (http://i.gizmodo.com/5211025/ipod-dock-8+way-battlemodo). They tested several well known brand docks against each other including JBL, Sony, Bose, Altec Lansing, Klipsch, and Logitech. This JBL dock came out on top even over the Bose and after listening to it for a while now I can see why.
Crystal clear sound, deep clear bass, crisp mids and highs. What especially surprised me was the bass. I wasn't aware that such deep bass could be produced from a small ipod dock. I was able to listen to the Bose dock at Best Buy. Being in a huge store probably didn't help the bass but there was virtually no difference in sound between the two, and the JBL is less then half the price.
I personally like the design of the JBL over the Bose. A sexy silver and black oval shaped speaker with my iphone sitting on top. The speaker is shielded so there is no interference whatsoever from my iphone. And my iphone sits sturdy on the top with the correct adapter. The remote is also very useful as you can change volume, skip, pause, and navigate menus with it.
For me this is without a doubt the best ipod speaker dock on the market.

The Sharper Image EC-B145 Clock Radio with iPhone/iPod Dock
Average Reviews:

This has decent sound, if somewhat flat and neutral. Maybe not worth the asking price, but try to find one on clearance. One criticism is that the volume control between 3 and 4 is much too great, it needs to be less of a jump. Also, the clock illumination is very bright even on the dimmest setting. Still, the sound is pretty good for a clock radio. However, the price should include a CD player or should be less expensive.

Maxx Digital iEMX262 Digital Executive AM / FM Clock Radio with iPod Dock - WHITE
Average Reviews:

We bought this dock for use with my second generation iPod Mini in our baby's nursery. It contains adapters for pretty much every type of iPod ever made, charges the device while it's playing, includes an AM/FM radio with great reception, and comes with a remote - the only thing that would make this product any better is a CD player, but that might ruin the sleek design. It's small enough to fit snugly in a corner of the nursery, but the speakers are good enough to broadcast high-quality sound throughout the upstairs level of our house (when the baby isn't sleeping, of course).
I will admit that we got this on an incredible sale (about 65% off) and my review might be *slightly* less enthusiastic if I'd paid full-price... but overall this is a really great product if you have the money to spend (or buy it on sale)!

Digital Lifestyle Outfitters iBoom Home 2 Dock for iPod (Black) Review

Digital Lifestyle Outfitters iBoom Home 2 Dock for iPod (Black)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
For the price, a bevy of great features, full bass and crisp sound quality compared to some of the other $100 radio alarm clock/charging docks, you really can't beat the iBoom from DLO.
I acquired the iBoom along with several other items from a Thing Fling Mystery Box [...] that I bought for $49.99. This was definitely the prized gem out of all of the items (about 10 or so).
The iBoom has a simple to follow dial located on the top left side of the unit that allows the user to set the time, alarm time, and turn the alarm on or off. The dial turns both clockwise and counterclockwise in 4 locking positions to complete any of the aforementioned functions. Located directly below the dial is a decently sized snooze/sleep button. DLO was wise enough to include a 3.5 mm audio jack for those who want to hook up the iBoom to other electronic devices for audio playback. This cable, while short, connects from the back of the unit where a 12/24 hour toggle switch and FM antenna are also located, along with a switch to detect DST settings based on your location. And another absolutely fantastic feature is the non-slip rubber grip pad located in the top-center of the device. This was a nice and welcome surprise. If you have the device placed on a angled surface this will ensure that your device does not slip off. Of course this is coupled with small rubberized feet located on the bottom of the device that locks the unit in place if it too, is placed on an angled surface. The dock itself is backed by nice & snug support wall so users don't have to worry about the connection breaking loose like the early iHome units suffered from. General functions are all centrally located on the right, top side of the device: wake to, listen to, track/hour volume/minute, and 4 separate preset buttons. The ultimate key feature is the back-light button located on the front of the device, directly to the left of the LCD. There are three presets for this button: bright, dim and off. The bright setting is nice as a great night light, while the dim setting is perfect for light sleepers and those who do not wish to illuminate the room with a cool blue glow. Aside from lighting up the LCD the light also shines through the lettering on the buttons, making reading in the dark relatively easy, while not being too overwhelming.
Users can wake to just about any iPod, as it supports quite a few, but just not the iPhone. However, I should mention that it will charge and playback when an iPhone is connected, it just doesn't support it as a "wake-to" device. Oh well. Had the device supported the iPhone I would have given it a 5/5. However, since it does not, it gets a solid 4/5. Definitely worth the price.

I got this to replace the iHome clock radio. It certainly sounds better than the iHome (but don't expect an audiophile experience), but although it has a clock, a radio, and a sleep function, it doesn't have an alarm function to wake you to music. Seems silly not to include an alarm in a unit like this. I don't know what Logictech was thinking. I haven't had any of the failures other people have reported here. It seems to be working fine after using every day for about 1 month.

System came quickly and was easy to set up. All the convertors for different iPods were included. The iPod Touch looks and sounds great in the system. Amazing what great sound you can get from such a small box. The reclining feature is a nice touch and will keep your iPod from getting knocked off. The radio is good for a change and seems to pick up all local AM/FM channels in the area. Hope it lasts as well as it looks.

JBL On Time 400IHD High-Performance Speaker Dock with HD Digital Radio for iPod (Black) Review

Like others, I was so excited to receive the speaker system until I plugged it in. I read the reviews and the description on Amazon. It specifies that it is compatible with the ipod touch 2nd g...well, it's not. It does not charge the ipod touch 2nd g and has a hard time trying to play the music from it...it doesn't always register the info and the remote doesn't operate the functions from the ipod. I really don't think it was made for the ipod touch 2nd generation...so be careful. The adapters only specify the ipod touch...I'm assuming only works with the 1st generation.
I was extremely disappointed since that was one of the main reasons I made the purchase last week from the goldbox offer of the day. The remote is worthless...it works when it wants to and sometimes plays other functions not commanded. It doesn't seem to be a battery issue.
I live in the center of a major city and have access to HD radio channels (20 stations) but this player had so much trouble locating the stations and occasionally skipped to other channels when it incurred reception problems without my command. I had both antennas (am/fm) connected into the system so it should have worked. I love the fact that it has so many options but they need to rethink about its functionality...necessary changes. There is no mute button on the remote or interface...bummer. The blue backlight doesn't have an off feature and the font is less than attractive. The manufacture needs to seriously work on improving their system...yikes!
The speakers were the only substantial thing to the system. It has excellent sound quality when you can get the radio to hold a channel...very, very disappointing.
