I bought two and I am returning both. Both units hum when no iPod is docked and the unit is turned on. When the iPod is attached and played a pop and crackle is added to the hum. If I had order just one I would have assumed a lemon, but since both did the same thing, I’m going to have to assume junk. Too bad, the unit is small, easy to use.

I thought I had done lots of research before I purchased this speaker set, but obviously not enough. The set was, as others had mentioned, smaller than I had imagined, but did not put out the sound as some were raving about. I purchased these to use on a patio boat for 4th of July so I needed some volume and since I am quite picky about the tone and the sound, I wanted something with a little bass. Every time I turned it up to get any sort of volume the speakers went into cardiac arrest and made this horrible growling sound. I thought maybe I did something wrong, so I check all the connections and tried it again twice with the same results. Don’t waste your money on this.

I selected this item based on previous reviews. I’ve had it about 30 days now, I can’t play it to about half volume without the speakers buzzing. I’d get my money back if I could.

Bought them because they were cheap, and had a lot of positive feedback, but haven’t been overly impressed. Within two weeks of buying them, they stopped charging my IPod, and I have to continually fiddle with the Ipod to get it to play out of both speakers. The sound quality is alright — about what you’d expect for a fifty dollar speaker system. The whole thing is made out of fairly cheap plastic, and it has an overall cheap feel to it. Can’t comment on the customer service, because I haven’t had time to call them and complain/get a replacement. I definitely wouldn’t buy it again.

I bought this for use in my office cubicle, so the volume would have to be low. I first tried it out at home at louder levels and it seems to work fine. But when I brought it to work I noticed a ton of speaker feedback. “Bubba-dub, bubba-dub” even when the ipod was turned off. I moved it everywhere and it didn’t help. I guess it doesn’t like to be used at lower volumes. I ended up returning this dock. If you want something inexpensive to play at medium to loud levels, this is a good choice.
