Tormenting me for a device that can read my iPod, I strongly hesitated with Bose DockStation ... ... Except that in terms of price it is pretty stratospheric! (300 to 400 on average!) All without radio or alarm clock. As long as to do so to take one less. In short, there is not the same category, but the whole is presques consistent. As usual with Logitech finish is good, even if it looks a little "light" in weight. The connectors are minimal but sufficient. A remote control can not be simpler. No balance setting, treble, etc. It is supposed to be pre-set at the factory so nothing to touch. There will come a little souçi, as we listen to music "pop" with low or no problem. As soon as one wants to hear "voices" kind a Diana Krall (no Opera the above it would be disastrous), it is much less present. We feel that the goal is not great music, but the one we listen every day on the radio. As long as we do not ask him to sing the Valkyries by Wagner all goes well, it served its purpose perfectly. You just have to know what is invested in the money. Regarding damage besides what is described above, is as usual no radio, alarm clock etc. Frankly we not tell me that a tuner / Alarm is very expensive to implémanter in this type of device ... Otherwise everything is good, a small tab to stabilize the ground. A suitable autonomy. A reload Ipod by its dock. And even a carrying case (without Hanse grrrr ...)
