Manufacturer's Description
Docking & Sound, the i-Station offers a complete solution to listen, recharge, and synchronise your iPod or iPod mini with a dock connector. It produces hi-fi quality sound from the combination of a sub-woofer, dynamic tweeter speakers and 3D surround sound processor.

Connecting your iPod to i-Station is easy, just place the iPod and away you go. The dock, which fits both the iPod and iPod mini with dock connector, even recharges the iPod battery while it plays, leaving you to enjoy your music rather than worrying about the level of your battery power.

Stylish design and compact size (A5 size, weighing only 400g) means that this ultra-portable device fits unobtrusively in any room in your house, and is easily stowed away. The unit is powered either by the supplied AC mains adaptor or four optional AA batteries, allowing you to use the device wherever you choose. The lightweight and compact design even allows you to pack i-Station in your suitcase.

i-Station can be synchronised with your PC or Mac via a USB cable & FireWire and can also be used with other portable audio devices such as MP3, MiniDisc and CD players.

Customer Reviews

General review + info re 'snapping off' docking help
Really pleased with these. It's not like being at Gatecrasher on a big trance night, but they do their job as travel speakers or as a second "hi-fi". Tweaking your iPod's EQ menu helps them sound better - I like the Dance (bassy) and Electronic (trebly but little bass) and Rock settings. I leave the iStation 'surround sound' ON. (Surround sound only if you're the size of a flea, though.)
Cost me £50 four years ago (still going strong) and much cheaper if you play around with a few mouse clicks now !
Re some web reviews stating that continually operating the iPod buttons weakens the docking connection - I don't know if it works with the smaller ones, but on the full-size iPod or the new Touch version (I've tried both), you are supposed to take the clear hard plastic speaker cover off, REVERSE it and clip / slide it back on behind the speakers. (As in the instruction leaflet.) This means that the iPod has something to rest against when you press its buttons, taking the strain off the connection. Hope that helps someone. I'll update this if I have any problems over the next few months / years.

Really pleased with this product
I bought these speakers to play with my Sony Walkman MP3 NWZA818. Loved these speakers, I think the design is great, very light & portable to take on your travels with you, which is why I bought them. The sound quality was excellent, even when both speakers and Sony Walkman was on full volume the sound was brilliant, was very surprised how loud and good the quality was when being used at full volume. The 3 D surrond sound processor works a treat and definitely improves the sound quality. Really impressive piece of equipment. Included in the pack is a european plug adaptor, every adaptor possible for Ipods and an adapter for a MP3 you can sit the player in between the speakers without damaging the IPOD docking socket. When your using your MP3 player via the 35mm line in port you can sit the player in between the speakers as opposed to lying in down flat but it's not really designed to do this. As when the player is plugged in via the headphones input line you've then got this wire coming out of the bottom of the player which makes it a bit awkard for player to sit in between the two speakers but I managed to find a way that works for me but you may prefer to just have it lying down. Would have been great if they came with case but a medium size jiffy post bag works just as well and provides good protection when travelling with them.

terrible sound and can't last long
For me, the biggest problem is this product won't last long. I bought my logic3 at PC World. The 1st totally stopped working after about 3 months. I went back to PC World and got an exchange. The 2nd one lasts much longer, but since last week when I used it to play the tracks in my laptop, sometimes it just stopped, no sound came out, and latter on sound came back, but few minutes later, couldn't hear anything again!

The sound itself is not crisp, and when I played it very loud, the sound distorted!!!!!

One more thing to say, the '3D surround sound' button doesn't make any difference.
