Nice crisp sound, keeps your ipod charged while you listen, the only way to watch videos on the 5G ipod as the battery life is shocking.
-
No heavy bass ( but would be expected from small speakers), no battery option for portability, could do with a slightly longer power cable ( also in white to match ).

Great sound/volume. Nice neat little speaker system for your ipod, love it. Comes with its own padded storage bag which has a little pocket to keep your ipod safe and a pocket for the remote control and ac adapter. Fantasic for taking with you anywhere. I played mine in the car when I had a problem with the car stereo. So happy with purchase.

The only thing is that the batteries are difficult to put in and even more difficult to take out, really difficult as a tight fit but I can live with it!

• Very lightweight and compact the carry case it comes with was a useful addition, to save from scratches.
• The sound quality is the best thing considering its size, good clarity in small or large rooms as well as outside spaces and even at full volume there's no distortion and very loud.
• The remote has a good range.
• Useful that it charges up your ipod when docked onto it.
-
• If using batteries in the product, they don't last very long.
• If you have a rubber sleeve to protect your ipod on, it won't fit into the dock, just a bit awkward having to take it on and off all the time.
• Could risk losing the remote as it a bit too small for my liking, and it doesn't look very robust if it drops onto the floor.

For an audio device so small and cheap you cannot find better. I have tried many small ipod speakers and they sound as if they are made of tin. If you want better buy a Bose it will cost four times as much and ten times the size. For a small room this item is perfect and it is portable.

One major flaw in my opinion is that the remote doesn't come with a power on/off button so you have to get out of bed at night to switch off the system. Not a terrible flaw but annoying.
