5.0 out of 5 stars Great dock, speakers, and charger!, November 8, 2011

I definitely enjoy this product. It works well with my iPhone 4S with Apple bumper and speakers are nice and loud enough to fill the room. I saw people complaining about the app, but the one I downloaded just by searching for Philips in the app store is stable for me. I don't use it as it is unneeded in my opinion. There are volume controls and light controls at the top of the docking station where you plug your iphone/ipod in. I personally am considering buying another one for my office.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Vibrant iPhone/ iPod Stereo System. Philips' Fidelio Docking Station/ Speaker. A Critical Review., June 5, 2011

This review is from: Philips DS1110/37 Fidelio Docking Speaker Station for iPhone and iPod (Black) (Electronics)

(What's this?)

With only one real drawback, Philips Fidelio docking station and external iPhone/ iPod speaker system delivers a rich, vibrant sound.

There are literally dozens and dozens of iPhone/ iPod docking station-speaker combo you can buy and compared to the one I already own, this one is far better in every way.

One of the first things you'll notice is that it's relatively small. At it's broadest area, it's about 6.5" broad and 2" tall.

I also like the way it's engineered. They placed the speaker cones facing up (as opposed to the side by side). What this means is that if the speakers weren't of the higher quality, the sound would simply dissipate as it moved up and spread out.

But, this wasn't a concern as track after track within the space of a 15' by 15' room, the 4-watt speaker system delivered very, very high fidelity.

(Tracks on my lady-friend's iPod Classic sampled:)
"Dale Caliente" by Daddy Yankee
"Down On Me" by Jeremiah (w/ 50 Cents)
"I Wonder If..." by Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam and
"Let Me Clear My Throat" by DJ Kool (w/ Biz Markie, Dougie Fresh & Funk Master Flex)


The only real drawback from this system is that there's no remote control. You'll quickly discover that you'll need a remote. Plain and simple. The 4-touch control on the face panel: sound up/ down, light/dim, and clock setting is on a circular touchpad, but depending on the particular iPod (or iPhone) sitting on the dock, you may have trouble accessing the volume control. I had this issue with the iPod Classic that we used. Wherever you set this speaker system, you will have to walk over there for any reason to make a sound adjustment. With a remote, it frees you of this hassle.

Other than that, the price is right. The other docking station that I mentioned earlier for the iPhone retails for $75 more than this Philips. But believe me when I tell you, the sound on the Philips is WAY better. It's smaller and the bright LED display is clearly seen across the room. There's also a USB port for charging through a computer.

With the exception of missing a remote, this is by far one of the better iPod docking station/speaker system combo.

4 stars.

2.0 out of 5 stars Less than average, December 26, 2011

By 

Brad Jensen (Salt Lake City, Utah United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Philips DS1110/37 Fidelio Docking Speaker Station for iPhone and iPod (Black) (Electronics)

I got this product for Christmas, having had it on my Wish List. I thought the unit was cool, and offered some 21st century connectivity. I also thought the ambient light options were cool. Having had it on my night table for about 24 hours, I am underwhelmed at best. The ambient light turns off arbitrarily after a few hours. Further, speaking of the ambient light, when setting the light to its lowest setting, and when an iphone (iPhone 4, in this case, along with a 3rd generation iPod Touch), is set on the unit, there is an audible 60Hz hum from the unit, as if there is a dimmer switch in use for the light (which of course, there is). One does not want a hum from a bedside clock. There is practically zero connectivity or interaction between the iPhone app and the bedside unit as well - practically no creativity went in to developing that - I could have done the same thing in an afternoon.

In short:
- ambient light turns off arbitrarily after a few hours.
- 60Hz hum comes from the unit when using the ambient light on its lowest setting.
- poor interaction between the iPhone app and the bedside unit, leading to an under-functioned product from Philips.

For a $76 unit, this bad boy is on its way back to the cyberspace from whence it came.
