Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

Sound it out! Intempo’s latest iPod speaker is sleek, sexy and all about the music. Do not be fooled by the compact exterior, the 15watt speaker is capable of fantastic quality audio in a very small space. The super stylish look and competitive price means it is also affordable as a second music system for the kitchen or bedroom at home. It measures a desk-, kitchen- or bedroom-friendly 230 x 122 x 940mm and is available in high gloss piano black, white and silver.

How good is it? With two crisp-sounding treble speakers flanking your iPod (any model will fit in the dock, naturally), and a mini bass woofer chugging away at the back, the iDS-05 can cope with anything from Ed Harcourt to happy hardcore. Why would you spend more? There are some really high-quality systems available from luxury brands such as Bose, but this little black box makes paying top dollar for a dock unnecessary.

Ideal for all iPod formats and general audio devices such as MP3 and mini disc, the iDS-05 really does sound as good as it looks. The built-in dock will handily play, charge and sync your iTunes and the USB port enables easy connection to a Mac or PC to ensure your music or photo library is always updated.

The iDS-05 also comes with a 12 key remote control. In addition to the basic play, pause, fast forward and rewind functionality, the slim line remote will adjust the treble and bass and has a sophisticated menu button which will allow you to directly access your iPod listings and select your music, giving you greater control from your sofa.

Ipod Compatibility
Iphone3G:8GB, 16GB;Iphone 3GS:16GB, 32GB;Ipod Classic:120GB, 160GB(2009);Ipod Mini:4GB, 6GB;Ipod Nano- 5th Generation (video camera):8GB, 16GB

The IDS-05 comes with the full 1 year “Safe and Sound” Intempo warranty for extra peace of mind. Simply visit the Intempo website or call the Intempo Broken department for help and advice.
NB: The IDS family will play your music and charge your iPhone, however to avoid occasional noise interference please use the “airplane” mode feature when requested.

Just had to agree with all the other reviewers about this wonderful little speaker dock. I shopped around before I decided on this little beauty and I was not dissapointed. The quality of the sound from such a small unit is amazing, crisp and clear, with great bass and treble even when the sound is up high. This little unit fills a large room with sound, I have mine in a large kitchen and it copes well. It is a neat and sleek little unit that sits (not quietly) in any corner you want to put it. Mine was bought so I could play my Samsung Yp-k5 Mp3 player and although it is not an ipod and the remote only works for the volume up and down it is well worth the £50-60 price tag. If you have an ipod then you get all the pluses of the dock and a full working remote control( but I still wouldn't swap my samsung)!. I have even caught my husband using it and even he has to agree it is a great little unit. I am going to get one for my bedroom so I don't have to keep carrying it up and down the stairs. Don't hesitate, a really good buy.

For a couple of weeks I was torn between these speakers and the Intempo RDI with DAB. Eventually (and reluctantly) I went with the Intempo IDS05B for 3 reasons:

1. I couldn't afford the RDI,
2. The RDI would be too big for my bedroom,
3. I already have an Intempo DAB radio.

So after looking at several websites, Amazon turned out to have the best price (£45) for the IDS05B.

When the speakers arrived I have to admit that I was dissapointed by the size of them. They look good but they were smaller than I had imagined(The remote supplied is nearly as tall as the speakers). It turns out that their size is deceptive, the sound that comes out is MASSIVE!

I tried out a wide range of different music (I have a very random taste in music) from Alicia Keys to Public Enemy to The Specials to The Killers to etc..... You get the picture, all music genres were tested, at high and low volumes to see how these speakers coped. It turns out all types of music sound fantastic, I really can't fault anything. Incidently, spoken word podcasts also sound great.

The remote supplied is really good quality and it works from several metres away from the speakers. The speakers, although they have plasic casing and are light have a very high build quality. They are clearly very well designed and made.

So don't bother spending over £100 for ipod speakers, infact, don't spend over £50. You really won't want to spend more after hearing the quality of sound produced by this compact unit.

A Good Buy! 9 Nov 2007
After reading loads of reviews, I eventually settled on this model. I was a bit skeptical at first as its quite small. I plugged in my 30GB Ipod, pressed play and was amazed by the sound quality, it is is fantastic! There is no sound distortion at all.I was really surprised. I have bought another two!
