Bought it Brand New and never worked fine, volume doesn't go up or down and body has yellow marks over the white surface. Definitely not a good choice, there are many other options with similar prices or only a little bit more expensive, but with fair quality. The product is just trash and a cheap imitation of a good ipod speaker or docking system. Check other options before making a mistake or loosing your money with this piece of...

This review is from: iLive iPod Speakers with Remote Control - White (Electronics)

I did extensive research on portable iPod speakers before buying. I wanted a unit that had decent sound and had a video output for showing pictures and videos on my iPod. After days of narrowing the field I settled on this iLive iPod speaker dock. Admittedly, I went a little 'cheap' on the price, but with product features saying "Great sound" and "full function remote" I took the chance.

When I played the music from my iPod in it the sound was tinny, playing all the highs and no mids or lows. I thought I might be able to live with it if I could get audio out of the unit into my sound system by the television for playing videos and pictures, but the sound does not extend through the video out. You must have an additional speaker cable or use the iLive speaker dock - no thanks!

I was also fooled by the claim that the speaker dock came with a 'full function' remote control. Folks, this is not a full function remote control. A full function remote control allows the user to get through all of the meuns using dedicated button pushes or a combination of button pushes. Again, not so! The remote I received had to be within 6 feet of the unit and was so hard to get the speaker system to accept a command from the remote control it was easier to reach over and use the iPod touch wheel or touch screen (whichever I had in at the time).

I could have tried more methods, but in stead, I lovingly repackaged the speaker system and returned it... never to make this mistake again.

So, not only did I lose valuable of time researching only to purchase the worst speaker system since my first car (a 1976 kick-butt Delta 88 that was barely roadworthy), I ended up paying $25 NOT to own this unit due to shipping and return shipping. My time and money would been better spent on a more expensive, better sounding, more capable unit.

I recommend purchasing from known brands like JBL, Blaupunkt, Altec Lansing, Logitec, and the like.

Summary: Don't buy this unless you are deaf. You will hate it.

This product is perfect for anyone that wants to listen music in their room without headphones and loud speakers. It also has perfect sound and the volume buttons work they way are supposed to work. This product will play most iPods (idk if iPhones will work bc I do not have an iPhone). However most iPods will not charge but that shouldn't matter if you put this item in your room!
