Where there is light there is unfortunately also shadow ...

First the good points: The device is solid, has a nice design and the sound is really excellent - one wonders where such a small cube hernimmt this bass! The initial setup of the device is in fact very simple and largely self-explanatory. Basically, it is sufficient in the manual Beschribung the buttons read on the remote control.

The remote itself is straightforward, but can still miss some functions painful: There is no direct buttons for example, to come as the alarm settings in important functions, but one has to wade through the submenus always. This falls on unpleasant, if one wants to change the brightness of the LCD display. Unfortunately, the device does not have a sensor, which would adjust the LCD brightness automatically to the environment - so it remains the duty of the owner, the brightness in the evening and the morning hinaufzuregeln downloaded again if you do not want the whole night bedroom illuminate glaring blue. Annoying is only that one to every time only has to click through's configuration menu is - here's a little sensor would certainly have been (or at least one button on the remote) any bad investment.

Another important feature is missing that you can not forward within a track and can rewind. There are only around Skip forward or back. That may not be important when so happens only a few songs, but is essential when listening to audiobooks. A device that should extols as iPod dock and all iPod functions to pass.

Unpleasantly noticeable to me is the fact that the device does have integrated an iPod Universal Dock, the associated plastic inserts are not included. Here is only to be understood that when an iPod would have been there, or you can re-order the things in the Apple Store in the manual. Considering the price for the unit, I think that's a very poor performance - these 3 grams of plastic for different iPod models would have surely can still dazulegen!

Conclusion:

Very good sound and good basically concept. Unfortunately, only half-heartedly implemented. Through small mistake in handling is from the "perfect device" an unusable for many purposes part: not because of the lack of (simple) brightness control for's display as a radio alarm clock in the bedroom usable, only limited by the lack of Spool function as an MP3 player to use and annoying that was saved when cent on parts provide off.

A pity - would have potential for 5 stars had gambled that were annoying by Schnitzer.
