Anonymous verified purchaser , “Pop, rock or dance fan”

Score 10.0/10

+ Fantastic sound from such small speakers, love the iPod docker, very easy to use.

- Only gripe is that it comes in two parts that are stacked on top of each other, makes transporting the system around somewhat awkward! Would also be good if the RC could control the iPod too....

Score 9.0/10

+ Its nice and compact, not 2 big! And the design is v modern.The technology is quit gud u can use it with your computer or laptop with USB cable. and u can connect your ipod as well. There is a loudness button on the re mode control so have sound quality. And u can also control the bass. Over all its a gud buy.

- My only criticism is it was a little bit on the expenisve side.

JON, MANCHESTER , “Pop, rock or dance fan”

Score 9.0/10

+ THE SYSTEM IS VERY COMPACT, NOT LIKE OTHER SYSTEMS WITH LOADS OF SPAGHETTI STICKING OUT THE BACK. WE HAVE OURS IN THE KITCHEN AND IT FITS WELL ON THE WORKTOP, SPEAKERS ARE A SENSIBLE SIZE.

- IT WAS A REAL PAIN TRYING TO SET UP THE DIGITAL RADIO PROGRAMMING, BUT MY PARTNER SORTED IT OUT, BLESS HER! WHEN I SAID HOW DID YOU DO THAT? SHE SAID DONT KNOW JUST DID, SO STILL A BIT OF A MYSTERY. FOR ALL MODERN DESIGNERS, WE WANT SWITCHES FOR ON AND OFF THAT SAY SO, AND DIALS FOR TUNING SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT IS GOING ON INSTEAD OF THIS SCANNING C - - P THAT DOESNT LET YOU SEE WAHT IS HAPPENING, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU DONT KNOW THAT THE SIGNAL IS WEAK!
