The first positive was that I ordered it on Monday and rec'd it on Wednesday--way to go Amazon!
I'm not an audiophile--I just wanted some music for my cubicle. The sound is excellent even low and when I turned it up to show my office mates, it was even better. It also sounds great with audiobooks. My iPod Classic 80gb fits perfectly. I just set it up this morning and everyone who's seen it, has commented on how attractive it is. The buttons are common sense and in just the right places. The green and silver are very sharp!
When the classic is playing, the screen usually only shows the time, not the title or album cover. However, when it's in the cradle, it shows album art and title. Love it!! And, it's a quick charger.
You are not going to get anything better for the price.

I recently got an iPod for christmas. Unfortunately we can't afford a second one for my husband and I don't want to take turns! But when we are home we can both enjoy our musical library thanks to this cute little boombox. It has good sound and a great look to it. The price couldn't have been better. The only reason I give it 4 instead of 5 stars is because of lack of ability to adjust sound quality. I feel you get more than what you pay for with this item. At the same time it is not the price of or the sound of an entertainent system, that you can plug your iPod into. This is a great one for kids and, less tech needy, adults like myself.

I love this product because it was cheap and works wonderfully! It plays loud and at high quality, not to mention, it's plain foxy looking! =]

This is a good product for the money. It has good volume, sound is crisp although lacking in booming bass which suits me fine. I've had it for 6 weeks now and have found it well made and durable. I like it!

This is a great and easy to use ipod radio and dock , it also comes in cool colors.

Pros: Good speaker, loud and clear. Portable, great for outdoors.
Cons: Poor radio reception, no remote control, "hard to see" clock

I love this product. Bought one for my son for his birthday, then bought this one for myself after trying his. The iPod charges while you are using it, which was the most important feature in my opinion. Also, the sound is pretty good for a fairly inexpensive boombox. My iPod is white, and I don't mind how it looks at all with the green boombox. I don't use the radio, so can't comment on that.

If you want an iPod docking unit with a radio that's cheap and very compact and you don't care much about the sound quality (and aren't required to listen at low volume) then this unit is fine. My biggest caution to you is if you're buying it for work and won't be able to turn the volume up much think twice about purchasing this unit. Because of poor sound equalization or stereo/speaker formatting, when I listen to my unit on low volume I can hear the melody of some songs but not the words unless I turn it up to a level that isn't acceptable at work. This is frustrating. Playing this unit at mid-level (which is probably how it would be played at home) produces an adequate outcome for what you get. I have had the manual tuner (didn't think anybody was still using them) wander slightly on occasion. But hey, if you don't have high expectations, are using it in your garage, listen only to AM talk shows, or are giving this to your 9 year old, then it's probably good enough. I used to sell portable electronics so I'm a bit of a snob...sorry.

This little radio works perfectly for a small room. I use it at the office for a little backround music. This would be great for a childs room.

Good price but, I haven't got to conect my Ipod Classic to TV and it hasn't owners manual.
