Neodymium Construction for Rich, Balanced Sound
The DS3000 has been engineered to deliver crisp, detailed sound that will satisfy even the most attentive listeners. Thanks to its neodymium magnets, the speaker is able to produce pure sound with superior bass response. Highs, mids, and lows are all rendered in exquisite detail, so you can hear your music as it was meant to be heard. The speaker also features special shielding technology, which helps block mobile phone interference when receiving phone calls.
Dynamic Bass Boost Takes Music to the Next Level
If you prefer your music with a little more kick, you can activate Dynamic Bass Boost (DBB) with the touch of a button. DBB helps emphasize the bass content of music, allowing you to feel the 'thump' of the bass even when the volume is low. The result is a richer, more robust sound at all volumes.
Charging Functionality and PC Connectivity
The DS3000 charges your iPod or iPhone while it is docked, ensuring that your device is always ready to go. Also, it can connect directly to your PC or Mac via a USB cable, allowing you to synchronize your iTunes library with your mobile device upon docking. For added versatility, the speaker also includes an aux-in port for connection to a variety of other electronic devices.
Free Fidelio App Unlocks Additional Features
If you own an iPod touch or iPhone you can unlock even more features for your docking speaker using the complementary Fidelio app. The Philips Fidelio app lets you control your speaker dock's acoustic properties, access 7000+ free internet radio stations, share music you are listening to with friends via facebook and twitter, set alarms to wake to your favorite music, photo or weather conditions and much more using your iPhone or iPod touch.
Dock Any iPhone or iPod, Even in Its Case
The speaker's spring-loaded docking port accommodates any iPhone or iPod, without special adaptors. What's more, it works even when most protective cases are on--just dock your iPhone or iPod as is for fuss-free enjoyment of your music.

I am a bit of an audiophile, but I limit my budget when it comes to something as simple as a dock since I have a stereo. I looked at quite a few docks because I needed something to charge my phone at night and wake me up in the morning. I looked at reviews and this one has great reviews so I gave it a try. Comes with a very short length of keyboard)3.5mm adapter, wall charger, and sync cable. The size is small and the only problem that presents is when handling your device while it's in the dock. It's easy to knock it over or push it around so you have to support the dock at times. Overall I decided to keep it because of the price and great sound, but that's about all I can say about it.
Pros:
-Sounds fantastic for the size, but most importantly the price. It fills a 10x10 room easily. I listen to music at low volumes and noticed that at less than 40% volume on my iPhone 4 the dock lacks highs With no equalization). At above 50% the highs catch up with the mid and lows and it sounds well balanced. This is when playing a non equalized app such as Pandora. Obviously when playing stored music or music from the Phillips app it can be equalized and improved.
-Looks and feels great, nice modern design and color.
-Works perfectly with iPhone 4, no incompatibility messages as with a lot of docks.
-Syncing works but you have to power OFF the dock.
-No audio noise when receiving text/calls/data.
Cons:
- My main complaint is no remote, I overlooked this when ordering and seeing how tricky it is to keep in place( depending on surface, slides on wood pretty easily, but sticks to glass well). I don't like interacting with the phone while it's in the dock since I need to hold the dock while I push buttons, mostly the home button on my iPhone 4. It would also just be a much better product with a remote for obvious reasons, listening to music and just want to change songs or volume.
) My 2nd is the 3.5mm input to the dock ONLY works IF there is NO device in the dock, wow.
-Low Functionality. The only controls on the dock are POWER and Vol +/- , so you have to go in your device to make changes. I never leave my phone unlocked so this means unlocking finding the app and switching a song. I could have really used previous/next buttons.
- Not so good as an alarm. I wanted to use it as an alarm clock so I wish the alarm function was integrated into the dock itself, not into your device.Instead you download a free Philips app that has the alarm function and it does a great job, BUT I've had apps crash and close on my phone before. Lets say someone calls/texts and the Philips app or your phone crashes, that can easily mean a missed alarm. You can also use your iPhone alarm and just play it through the speakers which would probably be the safer way to go.
- The mesh in front of the dock isn't so good for durability. I've had that type of speaker cover before and they tear and get dirty with time especially when they are a light color as this one is.

Amazon Vine™ Review
(What's this?)
--UPDATE 12-02-2010--
It's still being used daily and works great.
There is one issue that we have encountered, loading the AA batteries is somewhat of a hassle. Reason being is that the springs are extremely flimsy and bend a lot making it hard to load batteries into the Fidelio DS3000 speaker/dock station.
Other then that issue it's still my favorite and best sounding compact iPod speaker/dock!
--UPDATE--
After listening to several different iPod/MP3 docking speakers I actually had very low expectations for the Fidelio DS3000. The other speakers were tinny, lacked any sort of mid bass, and were just plain awful. However that is definitely not the case with this baby!
Setup was dirt simple (much simpler then the folding "easy to store" speakers that are out there). I just pulled it out of the box, plugged in the AC adaptor (it also runs on batteries), set the 5th gen iPod Nano on it's base, hit play, and away I was! No spacers or other plastic bits to insert into/over the iPod connection to make the different iPods or iPhone to fit!
The built in lit volume control on the unit is a nice touch since several other units lack an external volume control.
A USB connection allows for connectivity to your computer so you can sync your iPod with your computer. While a separate input jack allows the use of any other MP3 or CD player.
The quality of audio that this beauty reproduces is actually quite amazing. It's not the least bit hollow or tinny. Mid bass and the lower frequencies are present. And the shape of the "system" does a great job at filling a moderately large room with clear audio.
A docking and charging station for your iPod or iPhone and a speaker system for your MP3 or other audio playing device. Sleek, stylish, and extremely functional!
Pros:
Small.
Amazing sound quality, very impressed.
Charged the iPod.
Fits practically all iPods and iPhones.
External volume control.
Stylish.
Accepts other audio devices through a stereo jack.
Priced very well, would actually expect to pay upwards of $200 of this quality.
Is practically idiot proof and easy to use.
Cons:
None thus far!

Listening to just a few songs, it works great. But set it to shuffle and expect continual music? Nope. It plays about 10 songs, and then quits. Sometimes it plays for a few hours. Doesn't matter if I am using iPod Touch or iPod nano. Same thing happens with 3 different devices.
My other problem I just discovered is Batteries do NOT work as battery back up if the unit is also plugged in. I use this as my alarm clock and specifically wanted a speaker that had batteries as an option. Much to my surprise, power went out and unit would not turn on until I unplugged cord from the unit.

Solid Sound
Good sound but no remote makes this device a good buy at the price, but a few simple 21st century touches would be 5 star.
