 Too Cool! October 18, 2004

Ok- so everyone has an iPod now... that's cool. But do they have awesome sound that you can share their tunes with everyone? iStation has great sound, and is easy to travel with. I take it on business trips (it slips nicely into my carry-on bag)and listen to tunes in the hotel room. It takes up so little space, I take it back/forth from office to home, where I can synch and charge all at once. On the weekends, iStation works great on the boat. My kids loved it so much, my daughter had to have one for her dorm room, and my teenager at home uses it in her bedroom.
I never run out of battery time now... every time I put the iPod in the cradle, it gets a charge.
My neighbor has speakers from a competitive brand- he gets no charge and the sound output is not a great as my iStation. I'm thrilled with this buy! And best of all, it costs less than the competition!

This is a terrific buy. Sound quality is good, it is stylishly designed and easy to operate. I am not adept at anything technical, but this was three steps to playing your music. They include multiple AC adapters. The one improvement is if they could make a smaller AC adapter for travel.
The best sound and value in ipod speakers December 16, 2004

I first went to the apple store to listen to speaker sytems from JBL, Altec and Bose. The Bose system was awesome, but for $299 i felt i was better off buying a y-cable and connecting my ipod to my home stereo. I was uninspired by the sound quality of the other 2 products. I decided to take a chance an order the I-station and I am glad I did. It turns out the I-station has 3 times the power of the others and the sound is awesome. You won't be dissappointed with the i-station!!!!!
 Disappointing in the extreme March 22, 2005

I already have a JBL OnStage, but I wanted a second set of speakers with a dock so my wife could listen to her iPod in the kitchen (she's a chef.) I decided to try something different, and these sounded like a good deal.
How wrong I was.
First, I am a musician. I don't have to have champagne, but I know better than to call Mad Dog, Dom Perignon. These speakers are dogs, and when I got them, I was mad.
The sound is very bass heavy, and tends to distort easily. There is little clarity -- think a cheap transistor radio. The speakers are so close together that stereo separation is nonexistent (which is true of most of these type devices.) I shudder to think what the people who love this unit are comparing it to.
Sure, if you're used to low quality equipment, and you enoode your MP3s at 128kbps, they might be OK, but, then, you clearly don't care for decent sound to start out with. If you want good sound, look elsewhere -- I'm still looking.
Another reviewer compared the I-Station to the Bose, and said it was just as good. Yeah, the Bose is horrendously overpriced, but there is simply no comparison in quality. If you love music, and love it to sound good, stay away from this product. Sure, it's comparatively inexpensive -- but you get what you pay for.
 Good sound, OK value April 5, 2005

In my search for a nice travel speaker system for my laptop and preferably Ipod compatible (as far as charging and syncing), I took the I-station for a test-drive and compared it to a friend's Altec Lansing InMotion system.
I thought the sound quality from the I-station system was good - especially for the size. The InMotion system did sound quite a bit better - much more presence and nearly matching the bass response even without the "subwoofer".
I was dissappointed in the fold-up design with the separate plastic cover.
Overall, given the choice between this at $80 and the InMotion at its original price of $150, I would choose this. But now I see the InMotion for $110. I think that it is definately worth the $30 for the InMotion's better sound and slick fully protected fold-up design. However, I'm still looking at other systems.
