Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

The innovative design of iPod Hi-Fi transforms consumer-grade materials into the ideal enclosure for high-fidelity sound. The high-end sound of iPod Hi-Fi pours out of a double-walled plastic shell designed for maximum stiffness to prevent vibration and resonance - two major causes of sonic imperfection. And airtight sealing allows voluminous, unobstructed sound, effectively preventing buzzing and clatter.iPod Hi-Fi features three speaker cones custom designed to provide balanced sound across the frequency range. The result of numerous rigorous acoustic tests, this design delivers room-filling stereo imaging. The two 80 mm wide-range cones are set in dedicated chambers and isolated on the front plate, providing mid and high frequencies that sound vivid and bright. The natural bass of iPod Hi-Fi is generated by a 130 mm woofer. Thanks to the airtight sealing, the low frequencies are enriched inside the enclosure and then directed via tuned tubes through ports in the front.No need to find a place to hide an unsightly power brick, as iPod Hi-Fi houses all power components internally. Or run iPod Hi-Fi on six D-cell batteries. Either way, it plays your music with big, warm sound. In DC mode, custom electronics manage the energy to enhance battery life and sound, even adjusting volume as necessary. And iPod Hi-Fi will charge your iPod from its batteries when the iPod runs low.

If you've read reviews about the apple hi-fi you'll know that you will either love this or hate it.

I'm not an apple devotee, but this is a fabulous product. It's self contained, hooks up with my nano perfectly, is a doddle to have up and running within a minute, and produces really good, rich sound, especially at higher volumes.

No, it's not as small as other ipod set ups, and no it doesn't produce the same sound quality as more expensive standalone sound systems, but for the money, I am really very happy with this, and have even convinced someone about to buy the bose that this is better!

Get one - you won't regret it.

Top Notch 2 Sep 2006
By R. Wise
Unless you are a hi fi guru (like i unfortunately used to think i was) then you will simply love this. its small, good to look at and easily moved around. most importantly the sound is great and perfect for any room big or small. i cannot fault it in anyway and would recommend anyone to buy as is a seriously good way of getting more out of your ipod.

(alternatively you may choose to buy a lead that goes from the ipod headhone jack to your current hi fi aux - produces a similar quality sound and costs less than a tenner!) i brought the ipod hifi as i simply no longer used my hifi and wanted to create some space and move into 2006 from 1986!!!!

Typical Apple functionality. Just plug and play. Your iPod can be pushed and pulled from the hifi with ease. It really allows you to listen to the iPod on the bus and then to plug it straight in as you get home and to carry on listening to the same song. This really is a great piece of kit and the sound is very nice too. One minor complaint is that it could possibly have been designed to be thinner - it feels a bit boxy - but then it works so well and the sound is so good that this is not much of an issue!

Go for something else
For a long time I wanted to buy this, but after reading many disappointing reviews, finally settled to buy the Haman-Kardon loudspeakers for iPod. Couldn't be more happy with it.

Perfect for legacy apple fans.
First off a warning if you are thinking of buying these for a small shelf or bedroom cabinet - They are bigger than they look. Read more

Beats its rivals, hands down.
I did a lot of homework before buying this relatively expensive speaker set. I read a lot of reviews saying 'hifi - this is far from high fidelity'! Read more

Firstly, let me start by saying in terms of pure power, the Apple Ipod Hifi blows all other competitors out of the water. Read more

Apple at there best!
I got this as I have 2 hi-fi's already & the thought of getting A third to use my itunes/ ipod was not appealing.

I realy looked into which set up was best. Read more

To help clarify
The menu button on the remote has no function with this speaker. The remote is a generic Apple remote designed to be used with different Apple products. Read more

Small Box, Big Sound!
First and formost, the sound from this unit is great. It offers an accurate, clear tone with smooth 'highs' and punchy base. Read more

I bought this hifi after hearing all the others. This had by far the best sound of all those I tested, better than Bose even. Read more
