Customer Reviews

Stylish, Portable and Adaptable
Having purchased and received it by courier, I have just tested this speaker docking system and found for me it is excellent value for money with a quality sound for classical, military pipe bands, rock, country and R&B. My silver nano is complemented by the black casing with the silver speaker face of the docking system giving it the appearance of a matching set. I have tried out my son's larger video ipod and my wife's, both in different colours and they also set-off nicely against the black and silver.

The unit is certainly neat and portable enough to carry with you on holiday to operate from the mains and there is no need to carry another charger.

The remote meets all requirements. It saves you from manually, messing around with your ipod, while it is docked. On command it zips through all the ipod menus efficiently. The mode may be changed to FM radio which can be tuned from the remote's keyboard. The volume control can be used from anywhere within reason in the room.

There is a USB connection to synchronise the Ipod with your PC.

The unit also may be used as a quality PC speaker and be connected to other makes of MP3, CD and tape players from their headphone sockets.

I bought by son a £179 docking unit for Christmas 2006. It performs well. However the Gear4 in 2008 at under £40 for my purpose is worth every penny and performs up to a similiar standard.

Very Pleasing
This was a great buy from Amazon, i hade been looking for sometime, but never found speakers that could charge your iPod as well as connect to radio. This is a reasonably good price, compared to other speakers i have had and looked at. These speakers, are quite good for sound, people say when you get up too high volume it will loose the quality, but i have not yet come across this into the 2 weeks i have had them, it is very easy too set up, and very easy too transport and store away, because it is a reasonable size, and light. The speakers are blasting away good quality, and high volume sounds and this is the best buy i have ever had, thank you Amazon! I would reccomend these to people who want loud and crisp sounds, with easy controls (Such as the remote). Thanks Amazon!

Neat idea, sounds good, poor build.
I like this package, its neat, sounds good, works well with your Ipod and has a radio as well. The downside is that the build quality is questionable. I've had 2 this week from Amazon and both had the same fault - the Ipod dock will retract but will not latch in. At least Amazon returns system treats the customer with a little respect even though I will not get my money back for a month. Do you pay more in the shops to ensure yours works (at least when you take it home) or pay less online and run the lottery of getting a good one? £60 is quite a punt!
