(5 out of 5) by Rick Baker on Feb 13, 2009 (Edinburgh, Scotland)I had bought this speaker for my own ipod a year or so ago, and found it to be exceptional, both in build and sound quality. When my parents were looking for one 'from santa' I had no hesitation in purchasing the same speaker again as I believe it to be the best I have seen to date. The fact that it is also so flat means that it is easy to pack away for taking on trips like holidays etc.
I have heard the sound from a few others and they can lack a bit of bass, whereas with this speaker you truly get a good all round sound. I play it most of the time in the house rather than my stereo hi-fi. 5 Stars and top class product!!

I Pod Kit
(4 out of 5) by Inishtay on Feb 3, 2009 (Norfolk, England)I have now had this for some time and am extremely pleased with it. There may well be better docking stations now but this is good value for money and beautifully made.

WARNING
(1 out of 5) by Neil Barlow on Jun 2, 2008 (London, England)This is a well made product and has reasonable sound quality. But there is a very important down side that I feel should be pointed out: this product has been designed to be used with the older style iPod Nano not the new shape! If you use the latest new shape Nano (Which is suggested by Amazon perfect partner) it does not lie flat against the front, is off centred and leaves a large indent above the Nano showing a push button that is used for folding the system away (this is meant to be hidden). For this reason I will be returning the product.

Impresed
(5 out of 5) by S. Boyle on Feb 6, 2008 (UK)Don't usually do this but was so impressed with the build and sound quality that I decided to post this review. So slimline you'll have others looking for the hidden sub!

How neat is this bit of kit
(5 out of 5) by Mr. C. Greaves on Jan 20, 2008 (LEEDS, England)We bought these speakers after doing a test drive at Comet with quite a few.(Amazon was £15 cheaper) They were bought to take on holiday in 2 weeks time, because they are Super slim, very well made, The base and connectors are easy to get at & fold up neatly and positively. Uses mains or battery. (6x AAA lasted us about 5 - 6 hours) charges the Ipod while on mains.The pack comes with a nice black nylon bag with draw strings, a wide range of world wide adaptors for the mains.
And the sound, WOW is all I can say, we have been usung this with the Ipod instead of the stereo. Its just great. Remember its a portable system and not £4-500 of gear. For what they are and do they are the best things I have bought in years.
You can plug in any MP3 player though through the jack plug in the back.
You can connect it to the PC via the usb and download tunes to your ipod.
Fabulous little bit if kit.
