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.

Teac CD-X60i Ultra Thin Hi-Fi System with iPod Dock Review

Teac CD-X60i Ultra Thin Hi-Fi System with iPod Dock
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased the TEAC CD-X60i yesterday and have to say that I was very satisfied with it from the moment I popped on my iTouch and turned the unit on. I was looking for a small system that would not only play cd's or FM radio, but let me listen to the music on my iTouch while it's charging on the dock. This one does/has all that.
I have to say that the TEAC CD-X60i's low price of $134 at COSTCO didn't particularly get my expectations up but the unit was already plugged in, so I turned it on, and WOW. I was impressed. A nice crisp sound with good highs and lows and a deep, rich bass (from a separate sub-woofer) that didn't drown out the other audio details, even in noisy COSTCO.
The TEAC CD-X60i is made for iPods. It comes with a remote so you can operate the unit (and some basic iPod functions) from a reasonable distance, and the entire system is easy to set up and use.
I purchased a different system previously that covered the same elements as this unit but the sound was poor. I used to get a headache listening to it and I returned it post-haste.
This unit cannot be and should not be compared to larger systems - that would be like comparing apples to oranges. Unlike larger systems, the TEAC CD-X60i is a small unit at a much lower cost, is designed for desktop, book shelf, tabletop or night stand. But don't be fooled by any of that - its sound and its features are not small in way. I'd have given it 5 stars except that the sub-woofer must remain on for any of the radio pre-sets to stay in memory (the system is put into `sleep mode'). I'm the kind of person who likes to turn everything off when not in use, so I found this to be a little disappointing. Otherwise, great unit and $134 very well spent.

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.

iLive IB209P Portable Music System with AM/FM Radio, iPod Docking and Recharging- Pink Review

iLive IB209P Portable Music System with AM/FM Radio, iPod Docking and Recharging- Pink
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this pink Ipod speaker system at Sears on clearance for $24.99.
The black system was $34.99. The pink is actually a pretty shade of dark pink (not as depicted here) and the design of this Ipod docking system is not too bad - even if it looks a little cheap - sort of like an updated am/fm radio from the 70's.
There are rotary dials for the volume and radio channels on the left and right side of the unit. The other push buttons are all located on the center part of the unit.
The sound is fair. You can choose to add extra bass or not. The volume is adequate for a small room - even a little too loud at full volume. The unit is portable and has a handle. It comes with a cord, so you don't need to use batteries for daily use.
I bought two of these and so far we've tested it with both an Iphone 3Gs and an Ipod Touch 32GB. There is some hissing as another reviewer noted, but it seemed to go away. I tried moving the radio dial and it seemed to help coincidentally. I will update this once I've tested it out more.
The sound is not spectacular, but if you can find this on sale for $25 or less, then it's a good deal.

iLive Portable Music System/Boom Box with Docking Station and Recharger for iPod (Black) Review

iLive Portable Music System/Boom Box with Docking Station and Recharger for  iPod (Black)
Average Reviews:

When I received the item, I unpacked it & installed the batteries. I connected my daughter's iPod and the sound quality was good. There could have been more volume, but it was ok. There wasn't any bass or treble adjustments on this. I liked how the iPod songs could be forwarded & skipped via the buttons on the dock itself. I carefully repacked it & wrapped it for a Christmas gift. When my daughter opened it, she liked it. But when she tried to listen to the radio, it was all static. The next day, the radio portion would work, and then quit again. So, I ended up returning it to the store where I bought it. This was a very bacic, no-frills type of unit, but in fairness, the price was very low as well. If the unit worked as designed, we would have kept it.

iLive ISP209B Portable Speaker System with Alarm Clock and Dock for iPod and iPhone (Black) Review

I received my iLive speaker system today. The audio quality is very good, and it does work with and charge my iPhone as advertised. HOWEVER, be aware that it does NOT have an AM/FM radio (as advertised in the Product Overview). You can only wake to an iPod/iPhone or a buzzer alarm. I hope that Amazon will clarify this in the Overview from now on. It was a disappointment to me since I often wake to radio... but as a good-quality speaker set and an iPhone charger it will be useful.

Upstairs or down, iPhone or iPod--the flexibility of this unit will meet your music, communication, and charging needs. Plug it into your AC outlet, or use 6 AA batteries to make it fully portable. The digital clock comes with an adjustable sleep timer, and lets you wake up to either iPod music or--for you heavier sleepers--a buzzer. You can even set it to Gradual Wake mode, so you're not wrenched out of those ZZZs.


Brilliant LCD The front of the ISP209B features a 0.9-inch LCD with white backlight, so you'll be able to read it from afar, and know what time it is--even in the dark.

Charge Your Device This product is certified for iPhone and iPod, so you can safely charge your device in the recharge circuit.

Full-Featured Remote The ISP209B includes a full-featured remote control, so you barely have to roll over to control your iPod and the unit's functions.

Input/Output Enjoy a 3.5-mm auxiliary input for iPod shuffle and other audio devices. Use the video output for sending content from your video-enabled iPods to a television.

Take It with You The ability to use the ISP209B with batteries, along with the handy carrying case, make it perfect for camping or other trips where you want a little music or some help waking up.

I purchased two of these units for my two son's for Christmas. One worked fine but the other had a problem cutting out as my son reported to me. When I checked the unit it was only working on one side and the sub so I gave it a few taps to see if there were loose connections. Sure enough the right side also went out leaving just the sub working. I popped the 8 screws out that hold the power amp and circuit boards in the back and sure enough a ribbon cable block connector was barely on and loose. After securely re-connecting this obvious problem and getting the unit back inside it works fine. These are good units but I think there is a problem with the ribbon cables coming loose during shipping which would explain alot of bad reviews. With a phillips screw driver and small bit of investigation the unit was back in great working condition without any need to hassle with a return or refund etc. Too bad the manufacturer doesn't blob silicone on these to secure them for the shipping which would save them and some customers alot of PITA.

Literally just got this in the mail and listened to the first couple of songs...LOVE THE SOUND!! Very impressive! This of course does not speak for long term build quality, but only time shall tell. No tinny noise at high pitches, and a deep responsive base with absolutely no distortion. I am pretty picky about sound quality, and all I can say for now is, this is definitely $350 sound from this little guy.

Average Reviews:

Well made item. Small and compact. Controls well thought out. Big issue for me - I don't want the lighted numerals of the clock to be so dang bright. I hate having a "clock radio" or whatever they are called these days that lights up the whole dang room. Those blue LED things - yuck. This Yamaha number, although more pricey, is perfect. Good sound, intuitive uses, small, seems very solid, and THE LIGHT CAN BE MADE VERY DIM. The "clock" part is yellow to orange, and when the power is off, you can't even see the clock section. Very happy with this.

Wow, First of all I love the option of 2 day delivery, it was well worth it. Second ,the Pyle PHS901CW exceeded my expectations. The unit is well made and looks more like a piece of furniture, than an Ipod docking station. Third point, the unit sounds great as is right out of the box. I'm not a Bose fan which is what most e-tailers and retailers push as the best docking station out there. This unit has more punch and features than it's competitors. The remote works very and my IPhone charges while playing music. I give this unit an 8.5 out of 10. Please keep in mind I have yet to see and hear a 10. I look forward to Pyle's next gen. unit.

Philips wOOx Dock and Remote for iPhone/iPod Review

Philips wOOx Dock and Remote for iPhone/iPod
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I own this clock radio purchased at BB. My objective was to find a stylish clock radio that would fit on my smallish night stand. It had to have dual alarms - 5 day and weekend mode; and be able to have choice of either buzzer alarm or radio. The display must have dim settings.This Philips model does all that and a lot more.
Little did I know the search would take me to so many stores. Nowadays, clock radios are an afterthought. Most are cheap-o looking and garish. I couldn't believe the poor quality of clock radios out there. This Philips model fits the bill for me with a couple of caveats - see below. Although an iPod dock wasn't on my required list, the choices for clock radios are so much better than without it.
Here's what I like:
* Great sound from such a small unit
* Small footprint on the night stand - most other clock radios with iPod docks are a bit large
* Contemporary looking - looks nice with my black iPod Classic
* Easy to use - albeit it helps to read the manual
* Remote to set time and alarm, as well as play iPod
* Charges iPod while in dock
* Gradual alarm from whisper-quiet to loud
* Ability to use either the (gentle) buzzer, radio or iPod for the alarm
* Feels sturdy
* Did I mention the great sound?
Here are those caveats:
* The main purpose of the clock radio is to tell the time. The numbers are a bit over-stylized which you can't really tell on the photo online or the box. It's evident as soon as it's plugged in. It's hard to read the time from say across the bedroom while getting dressed. But I have gotten used to it; so just a warning in case you really need, say large, bright plain numbers.
* The display doesn't have enough dim settings; it's either very bright, less-bright-but-still-bright or off. This is unfortunate; as sometimes I do wake up in the middle of the night wondering what time it is. However the less-bright-but-still-bright lights up the room a bit too much so I use the off setting. It's not a deal breaker but if you are really sensitive to the light; then you might want to consider another model - amazingly, it's difficult to find a model where there are decent dim settings.

Overall, I'm very pleased with the clock radio and would recommend it but also note those warnings about the brightness and somewhat difficult to read numbers.
