Sounds Great! January 6, 2009 I bought this PlayDock (on sale here) because we were having a party and playing from my iPod is easier than burning / sorting through CDs. My husband was doubtful that it would sound as good as our stereo - but it does! (Note: We are not audiophiles - just casual music listeners.) We love it!
We've dismantled the stereo and have only the PlayDock in the living room now. Not only does it take up a lot less space of course, but it makes our lives easier. We can play music from my playlists. My kids can play their audiobooks in the living room and relax and eat (or whatever) and enjoy them together - instead of having to listen separately on their ipods. It holds (and charges) all our different iPod models (video, classic, several different nano generation models) and it can also play (though not charge) the shuffle. It has a remote (though I like to look on my iPod to choose a playlist so I mostly use it for on/off and volume). And you can hook it up to your TV and watch any movies/TV shows you've bought from iTunes - I love this because I hate watching on my small iPod screen or even on my PC.
PROS: - Holds several different iPod models - and holds them securely - Also can play other mp3 players - Charges iPods (when unit is plugged in - not when using batteries) - Good sound - Connects to TV to play your videos - Has a remote - Plain looking - but doesn't look cheap or shoddy in the living room
CAN'T COMMENT: - I keep it in the living room so I can't comment on weight / battery usage when carrying it around. - I don't have an iPod touch so I can't comment about it's compatibility with the Touch. Several have said that it is not compatible with the Touch.
BOTTOM LINE: Makes life easier, sounds nice, absolutely worth the price when amazon had it as the Deal of the Day ($55) - not sure I'd spend $200 on it.
does size matter? January 6, 2009 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I've boughten ipod boomboxes before but returned them all, so i was nervous to get yet another one but i am SO happy with this little compact speaker system. It gets louder than my stereo and has better sound and charges my ipod at the same time!!! I really couldn't be happier with this product.
Perfect January 6, 2009 The sound quality on this little thing is awesome! Before I purchased this I read about two reviews that made it seem like it sounded like a five dollar clock radio, but ignore those claims! I LOVE this product and would recommend this to anyone looking to play their I-pod on a speaker. It comes with different size holders so your I-pod will surely fit in it perfectly. It is in no way difficult to set up and get going. It comes with a remote which is pretty cool, but doesn't help when I can't see across the room on the tiny I-pod screen sometimes. It is so lightweight that I take it around the house with me while I am getting ready, cleaning, cooking, or even just playing with the kids.
Good sound not for Nano 4G January 4, 2009 Sounds great, easy to use but misleading will not support Nano 4G won't charge. Otherwise great for the prce
Not Fully Compatible with iPod Touch 1G January 3, 2009 I have an iPod Touch 1G 16GB. The Cambridge playdock i does not work as described on the AMAZON website for AV out-put to TV viewing with iPod Touch. After several tries connecting to different TVs. I contacted the Mfr. Creative Labs and was told the video is NOT compatible with iPod Touch units. If your only interested in sound the unit does work.
