Certainly the best speakers for all newer iPod models

I searched long very good sounding speaker dock connector port. The choice was between Altec Lansing IM7-Bose SoundDock and Apple iPod HiFi. In the household are already a iPod mini, iPod nano, an Altec Lansing IM3 and XtremeMac microblast Speaker System for the Nano.

Ultimately, I decided for the Apple system. Ordered yesterday at 17:00 clock at Amazon with one-day shipping, this morning at 9:00 clock, the device has been delivered.

The packaging is usual with Apple already the first highlight. Elaborate packaging, super feel. The design is a matter of taste. I like it well, my wife finds the device absolutely ugly.

But now the most important: the sound. The sound deserves mE least 5 Stars. Absolutely neutral and warm sound; Treble and midrange very clean and differentiated, the bass amazingly deep and voluminous, but always remains contoured. You can spend hours listening to music without being exhausting.

The system is absolutely stable levels. I have the volume turned up only to three-quarters. But that is already so loud that you have to almost scream at his opposite number in a larger space to make yourself understood (and all without distortion).

The remote has a long range and reacts immediately to each keystroke. Besides loud and quiet, next and previous track, fast forward, rewind, start and pause the device can still be turned on and off.

I have not tried the battery. Is in various forums that also in battery mode, a high volume to be achieved.

In mobile use, the device has a unique feature: In battery mode, the iPod is receiving a trickle charge, so that one is completely independent outlet as long as you have enough batteries here.

At home, the Apple ipod hifi has actually replaced the home theater system, although due to design the stereo effect is very low. For audiophiles the sound is possibly not sufficient for me, the system sounds absolutely superb. I have connected my DVD recorder with an optical cable to the device and can thus improve the DVD mode my television sound, or listen to audio CDs through the speakers.

Due to the unsurpassed quality of workmanship and the excellent sound I think the high price is justified. I would recommend the system to all the stereo effect is not necessarily important to fully recommend.
