How good is it? With two crisp-sounding treble speakers flanking your iPod (any model will fit in the dock, naturally), and a mini bass woofer chugging away at the back, the iDS-05 can cope with anything from Ed Harcourt to happy hardcore. Why would you spend more? There are some really high-quality systems availabke from luxury brands such as Bose, but this little black box makes paying top dollar for a dock unnecessary.

Manufacturer's Description
Sound it out! Intempo’s latest iPod speaker is sleek, sexy and all about the music. Do not be fooled by the compact exterior; the 15watt speaker is capable of fantastic quality audio in a very small space. The super stylish look and competitive price means it is also affordable as a second music system for the kitchen or bedroom at home. It measures a desk-, kitchen- or bedroom-friendly 230 x 122 x 940mm and is available in high gloss piano black, white and silver.

Ideal for all iPod formats and general audio devices such as MP3 and mini disc, the iDS-05 really does sound as good as it looks. The built-in dock will handily play, charge and sync your iTunes and the USB port enables easy connection to a Mac or PC to ensure your music or photo library is always updated.

The iDS-05 also comes with a much-loved 12 key remote control. In addition to the basic play, pause, fast forward and rewind functionality, the slim line remote will adjust the treble and bass and has a sophisticated menu button which will allow you to directly access your iPod listings and select your music, giving you greater control from your sofa.

Absolutely Fantastic
Intempo IDS05 B Speaker and Docking Station - Black
Do not hesitate to buy this.Bought this for my 18 year old daughter to use with her 8 gig Nano and as soon as we cranked it up the sound from this little beauty was amazing and could handle any type of music thrown at it.I was more than impressed and would recommend it without hesitation.Buy it.Also has a great sub woofer which adds so much to the sound.Great.

Excellent for the money
Bought this item so I could listen to my 160GB Classic iPod in the bedroom and was pleasantly suprised. For such a small item it gives really decent sound and is on a par or better than my 'Pure' DAB radio. OK it's never going to compare with the sytems priced around the £100 plus mark or Hi-Fi, but at £45 you can't go wrong. It's reasonably portable too and comes with a 'Euro' adapter (although you can't run it on batteries). I can only assume that the low scoring reviews were actually faulty items.

Not disappointed
I listen to a wide range of music and am very particular about sound quality. I was, considering the price and size of this unit, expecting to be disappointed.

Quite the opposite. Doubt you'd get a better quality anywhere for this price! The subwoofer is exceptional for its size and the unit has plenty of umph!

I have also found it handy to pack in a weekend case.

The the only slight problem is a transient distortion of treble on full whack.

Well worth the money.
