This handy speaker unit is pleasantly light and timeless chic. Super, to take them with you on holiday, especially as the system can be operated by battery (no charging function). That the speaker combination functions as a docking station, is actually ideal - were it not for the compatibility issues. The iPhone5 is not exactly fits naturally to the new Lightning connector, but our older iPods precisely. To connect the iPhone5 with older accessories, although there is an adapter (for about 29, -), but this also works the other way around? The demand from specialist retailers, whether there is an adapter for the reverse function, was: "No". In order to operate an iPod, for example, the previous generations with this speaker system, you have to use the AUX input. Here, the sound quality was not as good as the original operation with the iPhone 5 at a distance.
It is true that the new iPad would fit with the Lightning connector on the Ladestadtion, but since Sony advises against the instructions of an operation (can cause faults), I did not dare to test it. Too bad, because that would be quite handy!
CONCLUSION: Who uses exclusively iPod and the new generation iPhone with Lightning connector that is well served with this light but compact speaker system and can not complain about the sound quality. In an iPod multi-generational household but the frustration is inevitable. Because on the package clearly on the iPhone5 (and the corresponding generation iPod) is drawn, one must not really complain about it. Therefore, for the time being still 4 points
