Philips Fidelio DS3000 Desktop Speaker Dock for iPod/iPhone (White/Silver) Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)--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!
