Ok- so everyone has an iPod now... that's cool. But do they have awesome sound that you can share their tunes with everyone? iStation has great sound, and is easy to travel with. I take it on business trips (it slips nicely into my carry-on bag)and listen to tunes in the hotel room. It takes up so little space, I take it back/forth from office to home, where I can synch and charge all at once. On the weekends, iStation works great on the boat. My kids loved it so much, my daughter had to have one for her dorm room, and my teenager at home uses it in her bedroom.

I never run out of battery time now... every time I put the iPod in the cradle, it gets a charge.

My neighbor has speakers from a competitive brand- he gets no charge and the sound output is not a great as my iStation. I'm thrilled with this buy! And best of all, it costs less than the competition!

This is a terrific buy. Sound quality is good, it is stylishly designed and easy to operate. I am not adept at anything technical, but this was three steps to playing your music. They include multiple AC adapters. The one improvement is if they could make a smaller AC adapter for travel.

I first went to the apple store to listen to speaker sytems from JBL, Altec and Bose. The Bose system was awesome, but for $299 i felt i was better off buying a y-cable and connecting my ipod to my home stereo. I was uninspired by the sound quality of the other 2 products. I decided to take a chance an order the I-station and I am glad I did. It turns out the I-station has 3 times the power of the others and the sound is awesome. You won't be dissappointed with the i-station!!!!!

In my search for a nice travel speaker system for my laptop and preferably Ipod compatible (as far as charging and syncing), I took the I-station for a test-drive and compared it to a friend's Altec Lansing InMotion system.

I thought the sound quality from the I-station system was good - especially for the size. The InMotion system did sound quite a bit better - much more presence and nearly matching the bass response even without the "subwoofer".

I was dissappointed in the fold-up design with the separate plastic cover.

Overall, given the choice between this at $80 and the InMotion at its original price of $150, I would choose this. But now I see the InMotion for $110. I think that it is definately worth the $30 for the InMotion's better sound and slick fully protected fold-up design. However, I'm still looking at other systems.

This is a product as cool, compact, smart, and portable as my iPod Photo 40GB. It's hard to find portable speakers that mate properly with the slightly thicker Photo model. The unit also ships with slot adapters for other iPod and mini models, and a blank adapter for non-docking iPods and other products.

Aside from that, the whole system is well-designed. It folds flat for transporting, and has a clear plastic cover that protects the speakers when folded, and helps support the iPod when opened. There are also little blue lights on either side of the iPod, which would probably be cool if you plan to use your I-Station in the dark.

There are connections (and supplied cables) for firewire and USB, so you can actually sync your iPod while it is in the unit. There is also a line-in port (and cable) and an AC adapter. The unit will run on batteries if you like, but I haven't used it that way, so I won't comment.

The sound is as good as can be expected from such a small unit, but it does have some usable bass, which is more than I thought it would have. Using the iPod's built-in EQ seems to help this as well. The "3D" feature boosts the treble a bit, but I haven't really noticed any other differences. The volume is more than adequate for most purposes, and would be fine for hotel rooms, offices, etc.

Overall, I am very happy with this product, and would recommend it to others. Like the iPod itself, it serves the purpose well.

Very much worth the money, especially at Amazon's current sale price which is well below Best Buy or Circuit City. It sounds excellent considering its small size and is well thought out. It folds for easy transport and is protected by a clear plastic cover. When opened up that same cover is reversed and provides a secure place for the IPod to lean against. Charges while you are listening thru batteries or wall socket. With it you don't need the overpriced Apple wall plug adapter or dock.

Keyword --> Portable.

4 x AA Batteries and this Speaker Dock Station goes anywhere while providing reasonable sound quality for the size.

It isn't going to fill a concert hall with sound, but it will do a fine job in an office cube, a hotel room, the kitchen, or the backyard deck.

The only negative is that I wish the Dock Station Power button also turned the iPod On or Off.

Speakers ... Support cables ... and iPod Recharger for $80 bucks. This thing is a steal.

I bought this speaker system to use on-duty while deployed to the desert. I considered similar systems which cost upwards of $149, but finally decided to give this one a try. With a job keeping me outdoors for approximately 12+ hours at a time, for the past 6 months I have used this system in some very extreme conditions... from nasty dust storms to 130 degree heat. I have never failed to be impressed by the sound quality. As the batteries get lower, it maintains good sound quality until they are pretty much dead... which you can tell is coming by the slow dimming of the little blue lights on the insides of the speakers. When used in a normal room, the speakers sound as if you are listening to a regular stereo system. The sound remains great even outdoors in large open spaces. The iPods are one of the hottest items here at our deployed location... it seems like everyone has one or is buying one. Needless to say, my speakers have impressed everyone and caused 5 people to invest in this system.

This thing only cost me $80 online, much less than the competing brands, & it also had more power. Although the Bose system is great, it costs way too much. I didn't like the Altec ones because although I thought the neodynium speakers were neat, I wanted something with a bit more "oomph" instead of just small 1-inch speakers. This piece has the neodynium speakers, PLUS a 6-watt woofer, which makes for pretty good bass from a small portable system. The I-station also comes with all the adaptors & cable/adaptors that you would ever need, for syncing & charging & connecting to other audio devices. I love this thing! the only thing missing is a remote, but for this price I don't need one.

Yes, the Bose system would surely get a 5 star rating but try fitting it in your small carry on bag. This Logic 3 system is the perfect mate for the IPOD and can really give your hotel room a whole new feel. For a portable unit you can't beat it, it really cranks and the price is right. Also great for a bedroom unit on the night table. Also added a nice touch during a recent power failure. You can easily here it clearly throughout a few rooms. The 3D effect is especially nice.
