Excellent sound & features!
- Pros: I love this I-pod speaker system! I wish that other Ipod speaker systems had the features this one has to offer. I feel there are alot of products out there now that just do not offer the extra features this one has.
I am able to plug it to the T.V. for videos, it Tags songs, has 4 speakers, portable, the alarm is awesome pick from a regular tune, or radio to wake up too! And the crisp sound is just amazing trust me I keep it in the living-room for my wake ups (because I am a hit the snooze button person) and volume clarity is great!
My brother showed this to me and I bought it right away without any regrets! I sure wish other people can know about it! I bought a Bose speaker for my Ipod and thats all it was a speaker with no other features. This has and does so much more for less money; actually I bought this on Sale at the time from Newegg for $349.00 and this was $50.00 less than the Bose! I returned the Bose and have been happy ever since!
Thanks Polk & Newegg!
- Cons: I have nothing negative to say accept more promoting of the product should be done. People will love this for the money no matter what!
- Other Thoughts: This ipod speaker is absolutely great! I love it! I can dock it anywhere I want. Its light weight.
Sounds great
- Pros: It sounds amazing. Perfect for a bedroom or office. Very full sound. Pretty awesome how much bass this thing can produce at it's small size. Also, after the firmware update, I am now able to take full advantage of my ipod nano 4th gen, which includes wiring my i-sonic to my tv and watching the movies on my ipod. Pretty cool.
- Cons: The FM/HD radio is very very sensitive. Took me a few days of adjusting my antenna to find a good spot for it. A few feet makes a huge difference between getting one or two stations total, and getting them all.
- Other Thoughts: Newegg dropped the price $100 a day or two after I bought this radio. Either I have horrible timing, or Newegg hates me. No wonder this radio was non-refundable on Newegg.
