Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I ordered this compact speaker system in particular for one reason; it allows your IPod Touch to be in the horizontal position while docked so that you can watch movies in the "full" widescreen position. My wife is nearly eight months pregnant, so if she's getting ready for bed, I can take a movie I've rented and load it onto the IPod. Instead of having to share headphones, we plug it into the speaker system. The structure that holds the IPod can tilt, so we lock it into place, lay back, and watch the movie until she's ready to conk out.
Usually, that's about 8 minutes. A movie lasts a LONG time this way!
It works splendidly for our purpose. No, it is definitively NOT a Bose product. The clarity will not make you imagine that you're in a theatre or concert-quality environment. It has a clarity of sound that is perhaps a little bit better than the transistor radio that the castaways used on Gillagan's Island, so do NOT buy this if you're looking for outstanding sound; you'll definitely be disappointed.
That said, my brother-in-law and I have been listening to my IPod while sheetrocking what will soon be the baby's nursery, and we certainly enjoy it being there. It's not a party atmosphere -- we both hate sanding and mudding sheetrock -- but we're grateful to have some tunes, even though they're not in quadraphonic sound.
The unit itself is rechargable with a USB cable the same way the IPod recharges through your computer. The max volume is actually pretty loud, louder than I expected. It can definitely make you run for the volume knob or the off switch if the phone rings!
I really am grateful for the multiple-position arm when viewing movies in bed, and so far, I have not yet seen another horizontal-mount compact speaker system for IPod, although that doesn't mean there aren't any others out there. If you're thinking about getting this for the same reason I got it, you should definitely Google a few times to make sure there's not something new out there.
I will say this; for the price, which was almost exactly $30 with shipping, this compact speaker system is a really good deal. I am very happy with it, and would certainly buy it again.
