5.0 out of 5 stars Big sound from small package 6 Aug 2010
By Gadget Fan TOP 500 REVIEWER
Firstly I would not say this is perfect, but it is exceptionally good. Really I would have liked to have given it 4.5 but I'm feeling generous. I think this little system sounds as good (or better) than a similar Bose system. Now admittedly I also think the Klipsch systems sound stunning, and pretty much as good as Bose, and obviously represent stunning value. However this has more tricks up its sleeve. What I love is the bluetooth pairing. It comes with a bluetooth connector for your iPod/iPhone and is so simple to use - plug it in, wait a few secs and voila you are connected. No messing around with pairing manually.

Also anyone who pops over for dinner can connect their mobile phone to the system and play their tunes through it as well! Great, unless you don't like their music taste of course. You can control volume and tracks just like you would on your device. It's so easy to use that I have both this and my HiFi system in the dining room. Ok so the sound is not quite as good as my Hi-Fi set-up, but it's surprisingly close. I also have music streaming from my computer via an Airport Express to my Hi-Fi, using my iPhone as a remote. The prob with the remote app is that it regularly needs to reconnect after a period of stand-by. This takes a while and irritates. The Zii Sound just stays connected, even after you wake the iPhone, meaning it's ready to change volume, pause or change tracks straight away. As a result I find myself using this when we have guests over, just in case I need to skip past an embarrassing track!

The unit will charge an iPod/iPhone but only with the bluetooth connector attached - and it also has volume control on the top which is a touch sensitive affair, but not 100 percent to my liking - it looks cool but is a little unresponsive (hence a theoretical 1/2 star off). The build quality feels solid, and although it's no zeppelin for looks I think it looks pretty good, and surprisingly small. We've used this recently for an event where there was no PA system and we needed to be able to fill a large room with sound (about the size of four normal lounges) - it coped easily. It does perform best when there is a good clear space in front of it to be able to really project the sound outwards.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic wireless sound system 6 Feb 2012
By cryptic
Firstly I must make clear that I am not an audiophile, but to my unrefined ears
the sound quality is amazing. The bass is rich and the sound quality does not distort
at high volumes (and this can be very loud).

It is a nice compact model with an ipod/iphone dock which works a treat, as when you
pull the device out of the speaker system out pops the wireless transmitter with it
and you can seamlessly listen to music with no reduction in quality.

The only for me would be the cloth exterior.
The cloth, although very aesthetically pleasing, gathers dust quite easily and so
I found myself cleaning the system often.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good - but not quite perfect 22 Dec 2010
I wanted this for two things - 1. as a Bluetooth speaker to use with my laptop and iPod, and 2. as a speaker to plug in to my TV (no home cinema for me!) On both counts, it performs very well.

Sound Quality
Very good - plenty of bite, and very reasonable bass, considering the size of the drivers. The quality of the sound using Creative's special Bluetooth codec is very much better than through standard BT - so their dongles are recommended.

Aesthetics
Works well in my room - nice and sleek, not too "in your face"

Ergonomics
Pairing with Creative's own dongles is very easy. I've got two (one for the iPod, one for the PC), and switching between them is easy, if confusing. It's not possible to tell which device is connected, as far as I can see. There might be some meaning to the different patterns of blinking lights, but I can't see it described anywhere...
The volume is a little difficult to get a handle on. I've got this in quite a small room, where volume on 2 is too quiet, and volume on 3 is a little loud, most of the time. It's very much step-change between volume levels.

Value for money
Well, depends on your preferences. It's expensive, and you'll get better sound quality from the Gigaworks T40ii speakers (which I also have) which are a third the price. But the flexibility of Bluetooth, and the good looks of the D5 are valuable too. If the D5 was 25% cheaper, I'd say it's excellent value. As it is, it's a personal choice.

Overall
It does what I want it to, and it does it well.
