I bought this unit so I could have background music during parties and other events at my house. When it's just me, I can crank it up and the sound is pretty good. At more moderate levels, it's excellent. I've tested it with heavy metal, classic rock, dance, jazz and ballads. As you will undoubtedly read when looking at similar product reviews, the bass is not very strong, but it's not supposed to be on an item of this price. I gave this 5 stars because it performs perfectly for what it is intended for. And free super saver shipping is nice too!

This review is from: CTA Digital Sound Stage Speaker with Docking Station for iPod (White) (Electronics)

I was looking for a decent, inexpensive speaker for a small space - and that's what I got. The sound is good, neither awful nor excellent - about what you'd expect for its pricepoint - and I have yet to come across any distortion, after some fairly extensive experimenting with different volume levels and music genres. It's nicely compact, able to be easily toted from room to room.

What knocked a star off for me is its compatibility with the second generation iPod nano. The packing does include an adapter to support the nano (with separate adapters for first and second generation) within the docking station, but something in its dimensions is off; when the nano is inserted, it doesn't dock fully. Removing the insert and plugging the nano into the full space worked fine and it's possible to jury-rig two of the other adapters to support the nano, but it was still a moment's frustration.

Overall, the problem with the docking wasn't enough to truly damage the functionality of this product, and it's certainly something I would recommend to someone looking for a basic speaker.

I purchased this Ipod round speaker and I like it. However, I did return the item when I first received it because it was not working correctly. There was too much static. I return it for an exchange and as soon as I received the new one I tried it at it worked. I work in an office at this is perfect for my limited space. I recommend this item to anyone who want a speaker that will not bother other coworkers. good working item.
