Advantages: Good sound quality, trendy looking

Disadvantages: A little pricey

I was given this docking station as a present last Christmas. I have owned an iPod for several years but had never really had a decent docking station.

I do not profess to know much technical knowledge regarding this product so it will be very much a consumers review.

The docking station in my opinion is very smart looking. The whole base is a speaker and your place your iPod in the docking part in the centre of the system. It came with several adaptors so all styles of iPods and MP3's are compatible. You can also use an audio jack if for any reason your system is not compatible with the base.

It is very basic, as it simply is a speaker and a charger. It doesn't come with fancy extras like the some of the other docking stations do such as alarm clocks.

The sound quality of this system is very good and when the person who bought this for me sound tested it in the shop when buying it, against others he said the quality was far superior to others available including some which were from well known companies and considerably more expensive.

It comes with a small black remote control, which again is very basic but it gives you all you need, you can turn the station on and off, skip through your tracks and turn the volume up and down.

These docking stations retail around the £150 mark so aren't the cheapest but if you are looking for a system with good quality sound and one that could easily replace your current stereo system then I highly recommend this.

I have used my system pretty much daily since I first received it and it has never let me down, the quality remains as good as it was on day one.

One of the things I really like about this product is it is quite chunky and solid, some of the previous docking stations I have had have felt a little flimsy and on the cheap side.

Summary: A recommended docking station
