Derek, Orpington , “I demand Total Quality”

Score 9.0/10

+ Excellent sound quality - especially when you use the EQ setting on your IPOD to boost the bass signal. I like the fx feature to further boost the sound quality. It is very comparable to Bose "sound" at a fraction of the cost. Nice design in black - looks really good. Portability is a really nice feature. Remote control function is very handy too.

- Radio slightly fiddly to tune in stations - but I am being really picky here - you can use the portability of the unit to find strong signals when tuning.

David, Glasgow , “I'm fifty years old ”

Score 9.0/10

+ very compact. folds flat, with remote control hidden away safely. sounds great for its size. Once fully charged it lasts for ages.

- I could think of a few minor improvements, but I can't think of any bad points.

R, Manchester area

Score 7.0/10

+ Neat. Nice styling and function lights. Takes up a small space. Good clear sound.
overall we're happy.

- Not immediately obvious which adaptor to use for iPod, there are six in the pack.
Lacking high volume. eg. for TV which isn't loud enough!.
As often the case the aerial is vulnerable and will soon suffer in our house.
I'd like an 'aux' socket in the front or on the side.
We don't get great FM reception, looking back I should have gone for DAB

+ Stylish, slimline and easy to use.

- Dust collector - could do with a protective cover (for Ipod port) for when not in use (unless you want to close the whole thing up after each use)

Ian, West Lothian

Score 9.0/10

+ light and easy to transport around ie; holiday travel Loud enough for outside garden use ie; barbecues. Great value for the price bracket it is in.

- Not in the same league as the Bose and not enough base for me but you will struggle to find much better in its price range.

Matthew, London

Score 9.0/10

+ Neat looks and size. Sound quality very good considering the size.
(Make sure you get the second edition if you want to be able to charge the latest iPods, it's variously labeled as v2 or USB - if it has ESS sound, it's the right one.)

- Radio reception not perfect, takes some fiddling to get a good signal.
