Hipper than your average pup, I-Dog Amp'd plugs into any music player and rocks out to your tunes. Recommended for ages eight and older, I-Dog has multi-colored lights that flash to the rhythm of the music and his paw taps to the beat.

I-Dog Amp'd is a speaker system for your music player. View product details. View side - bottom.

What We Think Fun Factor: Durability: (what this means) The Good: Can be used with almost any music player The Bad: Works best on a smooth, hard surface In a Nutshell: Amusing toy with cute, compact design At a Glance Ages: 8 years and up Requires: 3 AA batteries (included), plug cable (included), and music device (not included)

Cool Techno Design
Rhythmic dance moves and a futuristic design make I-Dog Amp'd the coolest companion around. This hip hound is a speaker system for your music player. He grooves to your tunes and shows his emotions with bright LED lights. Just plug him in and press his nose to get him started. Watch as he bobs his head and taps his paw to the beat. A switch under his chin allows him to be turned from "try me" mode to "listening." Little rubber paw pads on the bottom of his feet add a cute touch and help keep him in place. This toy comes with three AA batteries, a cable, and instruction booklet.

Disco Dog
Not only does I-Dog Amp'd have a taste for music, he needs to be taken care of like a real pup.When I-Dog is ecstatic, happy, or even sick his dancing light patterns let you know. Music is like kibble to this pooch and when he needs more, he'll bark occasionally. The faster the lights blink and the more he whines or barks, the more music he needs. But he doesn't have to be hooked up to a musical device to be "fed"; he can hear through his built-in microphone. Place I-Dog Amp'd near a music speaker with the volume at a high level and watch him react! If music is not played for a while, I-Dog goes into hangout mode.

Play Test
After a grueling testing process, I-Dog Amp'd came out a champion. This toy has all the latest technology and a cool, compact design. When he's not moving to the sounds of your music, the pup acts just like a real pet. Although he is a doggone-good dancer, his motorized moves are a little loud and work best on a smooth, hard surface. However, you can easily shut these off and just listen to the music play. Our testers were transfixed by the dancing LED lights, moving ears, and rhythmic paw taps. The speaker system isn't especially powerful, but you can use his volume-control tail to "amp" it up a little. And although the I-Dog doesn't download or store music, it can be used with almost any music player (not included). A great size for children, this portable pup fits just about anywhere.

I-Dog Amp'd dance to the beat of the music you play through him.

First, I'm 33. I think this might be a kids toy, so take this review with a grain of salt. I just wanted to be able to play my ipod without the headphones and saw this as a cute, entertaining way to jam out in my kitchen. I think its adorable and lots of fun. I'm a little annoyed about the dog having "moods" which you have to satisfy by "feeding it" music. Sigh. That's probably fun for kids. I'm not sure how durable this is, it feels somewhat breakable to me. I'm very gentle with it, and maybe unnecessarily. The light show is excellent. Somehow the idog recognizes the beat and sync's up the flashing colored lights.

Love the stereo, love the tapping foot and rocking head. A fun way to listen to your tunes instead of a boring old plug-in speaker system.

I purchased this as a speaker for my MP3 player to use in my office. Big mistake! His movements are much to loud to allow me to use this as a speaker at work. I would have to turn up the volume much to loud to be practical at work to drown out the mechanical sounds.

To be fair, he is absolutely adorable! His paw tapping and tail wagging are really sweet. I LOVE the way his head moves to the beat. He'd be perfect if I needed a speaker at home, however he's just too loud for work.

I bought this for my 9 year old daughter for Christmas this year. She really wanted one and I really knew nothing about it. She is very pleased with it and I find it a cute and fun toy for her. The I dog even has a little personality. It enjoys attention and the colors it displays show how happy or sad it is. She still has a lot to learn about her new "pet" which adds a little educational value as she needs to read the directions and apply it to i-dog. I would recommend this toy for ages 7 and up.
