(More customer reviews)Pros
- Looks nice
- Relatively compact
- Speakers sound nice
- Charges iPod while playing
- Simple to set up
- Speakers charge batteries inductively, so there is no plug for the speakers; the speakers simply need to be placed on the base station
- Fit iPod Touch 4G
- Remote control works
- Transmitter is a USB transmitter (as the base station has a USB port on it), so it is very easy to attach the transmitter to a computer
Cons
- When I took a speaker to the bedroom adjacent to my living room (so that the speaker and the base station were separated by a wall but were only 25 feet apart), the speaker stopped receiving
- Speakers seem to only have an extended range when the speakers are within the line of sight of the base station
- iPod Touch 4G could not be used to stream Internet radio when attached to the base station (The base station transmits to the speakers in the 2.4 GHz range, which is the same range as most WiFi systems, so the base station transmission may have interfered with the WiFi signal to the iPod Touch
- Base station seems designed to allow user to play music and podcasts but not WiFi radio (Even when WiFi reception was good, iPod Touch 4G stopped receiving Internet radio within a couple of minutes after being placed on the base station; the base station seemed to be trying to switch the iPod back to playing music.)
I ultimately returned this unit, because my iPod Touch 4G would not stream any Internet radio when attached to it. I even bought an iPod dock extension cable to allow me to place my iPod Touch 4 feet away from the base station (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004BAC2B0/ref=oss_product), thinking that would solve the problem if it was simply RF interference. However, that did not solve the problem.
