When a power supply of the speakers is not possible, because you're on the go, for example, also 4 AAA batteries can be used. The two battery compartments are located on the bottom of the speakers.
Commissioning is simple. Once the iPod is on the dock with charging function, I get the message that the app D-Sappli one should heruntenladen from the AppStore itself.
About this app, the speaker volume can be regulated and playing music from the iTunes player. However you play music from the Amazon Cloud Player, only the volume can be controlled via the app. This is a little confusing. I Open the Amazon Cloud player, the playback on the iPod can indeed control, but the volume can be controlled only through the Sony device or app D-Sappli.
The sound quality of the speakers on the iPod touch 5 is surprisingly good and the bass is stronger than my Philips dock DS1155. If you turn up the volume, the sound is powerful, full and clear. The speakers are not rushing. The speakers are well suited for smaller rooms.
The speaker dock look visually very good. The build quality is impeccable. If you are traveling, the speakers can be transported on the handle. However, one should pay attention to the iPod because it can tilt forward when transporting to the docking station. However, it does not fall off.
Conclusion: In conjunction with an iPod touch 5 I find the speakers super. The price performance ratio is okay. Apart from the confusion of the volume and playback controls on the Sony app D-Sappli I am very pleased with the speakers.
