2.0 out of 5 stars misleading remarks, December 24, 2008

By	Edward Fiscella "stage3091" (Blackwood, NJ) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

My first problem with this product is that it is NOT "the freedom of ultimate stereo" as described here. When I opened and listened, I could not detect stereo separation. I looked in all their literature and did not see the word "stereo". I looked at their website and did not see the word "stereo." I wrote to customer service and got a vague replay back telling me everything I had read. I wrote back again and I asked if the speakers had "Stereo separation". The reply was "Thank you for your continued correspondence. There is no separation between the left and right sides. If you have any further questions, do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
HMDX Audio Representative

Now that I feel that I have corrected the misstatement above, I can tell you what I feel about the speakers. They are great if you are not looking for a stereo or even a great system for sound fidelity. They do however, work wonderfully if you need all of your sound in different locations. For me, putting a speaker at each end of a board table while I project a video is perfect as it gets the best sound to all, in a very light, portable , system. Some of the music was distorted, but speaking voices are excellent. I am keeping the system because it does serve a purpose. Also, it is great for bringing a speaker outside with one inside since each speaker contains all the sound.

I will however, purchase another system for my ipod that has better fidelity and stereo separation.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad... could be better.., May 16, 2009

By	Kristopher Hundredmark "Tech Overlord" (Jacksonville, FL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a descent little speaker dock for the ipod. IPOD though. NOT Iphone!. You can plug your 2g or 3g iphone into this dock fine but it must go into "airplane" mode. Meaning your phone is off just so it can play music. SO when your friends call you, it will goto voice mail instead of ringing. It will charge either of the iphones as well. If you don't put it into airplane mode then the data transmissions cause pops and snaps in the speakers and loss of audio. The speakers last about 4 hours on a charge. Will go about 100+ ish feet. Each speaker has a "on/off/volume" control on them. The speakers are nothing to write home about. They're not tinny. They're not anything that could be considered "premium" quality either. They're very much vanilla. What you see is what you get. The bass response is lacking. If you enjoy anything with a good strong punchy bass line then you will find it lacking. If it had more support for the iphone. It would have been 4 stars. Another product that if they had spent another 10 minutes working on would have been a real stand out product instead of a middle of the pack.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Item, January 6, 2009

By	Dave Philly - See all my reviews

This item works great. I recently had a party and placed one speaker on the second floor for the guests to enjoy, and brought one into the basement for the rest of the party. The wireless connection went through two floors! Sound quality is good, not great...but I expected that since it is a smaller dock station. It works perfectly for background music at a party! I recommend buying it!
