5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best speakers ever. January 12, 2011

By Hari

I have the D200. It was not bought from Amazon, so the review is about the speaker and not about the service from Amazon.

This is one amazing speaker.

1. A+++ for sound. The sound quality is so crisp and clear at all the ranges. Whether you play a movie soundtrack CD or a classical or jazz CD, it reproduces every nuance of the high, mid, and low frequencies without any audible distortions.

2. A++ for looks. It is aesthetically very pleasing to look at. Simple curves on the two ends and the mirror like finish (black) of the body gives it a very elegant look that sets it apart. The buttons on top blends in without protruding or standing out. The led light isn't too bright as to attract attention to it. The matte black front screen has only a small logo of the company. It will blend well with any decor in your house, whether you live in an upscale penthouse or an ordinary bedroom or living room. For me its looks alone won me over.

3. A++ for convenience. The size is not too small or not too big. It is just right. Connections are minimal. Since it lies on its side rather than standing upright like some bookshelf or computer speakers, it is very stable and easy to place anywhere. No need to worry about whether it will tip over or whether it will be too tall. If you can find a place with 16 inch length, 4 inch height and 4 inch depth (plus a little bit extra space in the back for the dispersion of the bass sound) then the speaker will have a comfortable home.

4. A++ for adaptability. I have used its aux. input by connecting it directly to my laptop headphone jack. There is no problem with the range of volume controls and it performs superbly. I now use it with blue tooth and I get the same nice range of volume control without any fuss. The speaker will work great regardless of whether you are streaming your music from your laptop or from your iphone, ipad or ipod or any blue tooth enabled device. You make the one-one blue tooth transmitter-receiver matching and you are set. It doesn't get any simpler than that.

5. A++ for packaging. In terms of the overall packaging I am very satisfied since it comes in a nice cardboard box more like a wine bottle box and with a little handle like a boombox. There is no Styrofoam or clam-shell to deal with. If you are buying it for yourself, it is easy to open and setup, one power cord, one power socket you attach to the power cord and the speaker, that's all. If you want to give it as a gift it is easy to gift wrap. The size and looks of the package will be appreciated by both men and women alike. So it makes a perfect gift item.

You will be wondering why so much praise and why I haven't written anything negative about the speakers. Well I want to concentrate on the product as it is meant to be used. I can write something negative about the instruction booklet. But how many people really need instructions. I just set it up without reading any instructions. Moreover it wont do justice to the speaker if the review nitpicks on the instructions. After all we want to listen to the music and not sit down to read the instruction booklet.

I see in the reviews that some people have problems after the first day. My gut feeling tells me that they would not have realized that some blue tooth transmitters that attach to the headphone jack of their computers need recharging using external power supplies. So they could have easily fixed that problem by recharging their blue tooth transmitter, instead of returning the speaker after using it for a day.

If you are on the hunt for a speaker, don't waste your time. You won't go wrong in blindly picking this speaker to take home or ordering it online. It is worth every penny you pay for it. If you already have nice speakers buy it as a gift for someone you love and they will be happy that you gave them this speaker instead of a gift card or a wine bottle and they will remember your gift for the rest of their lives. It will be a good gift for teenagers, and people of any age who love to listen to music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Wireless Speakers Out There November 30, 2010

By J.D. Cotten

Absolutely love this speaker. Incredible sound, especially at the price. I tested the D100's and found them not to handle all types of music well but the D200 handles anything I throw at it. Sounds almost as good as my home theater set up. Handles, highs, lows, and mids equally well. Very easy to connect. Hasn't lost signal for me yet. Highly recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars With iPhone4 : wow! April 20, 2011

By D. Dang

Wow!! I bought this for my kitchen / living area (about 10mx7m room). I have dock speakers for my iphone4, but I wanted something wireless.

So after reading all the reviews, I bought it from a local supplier - and it rocks!

Bluetooth : connects easily with iPhone 4, didn't ask for a password, no need for any extra dongle.
When I walk into the room, turn on the D200, press the bluetooth button once, my phone latches on to it and starts playing!

Sound : I'm no audiophile, but I love my bass. This has it. I love my music loud sometimes - this plays it so loud it's deafening. It's great!

Volume control : your iphone4 controls the D200 volume! The only catch is you have to set the D200 volume on 'maximum' to start off with, then your iPhone will control the volume from zero-to-max.

Con : The only downside is you have to keep it plugged in. Some of us like to save a few extra watts by turning it off at the powerpoint - if you do this, the sound setting resets to normal. So you'll have to turn the D200 volume up to 'maximum' again to get full iphone volume control (see my comment on Volume control above).

I'm satisfied. It's so good I won't be going back to anything non-Bluetooth! I've relegated my dock to the spare bedroom.
