This a great little piece of kit. With the size of the speakers you would expect the volume to be very quiet. It's not. Infact you can fill a large room with sound comfortably and quite often i don't use it at full volume, there is no need.
What's more is that it charges the Shuffle. The good thing about the shuffle is that you don't need a USB cable to charge it up. This is utilised with this docking station. It charges the Ipod up quickly and effectively.
I have never had any problems with the speakers, however i am sure that the actual speakers (silver parts) could get damaged alot if touched regularly. As for the price, you can't ask for much more. It is perfect! Another reason why i chose to buy this product is that it is very small yet it can play music effectively. Because of this i decided that it would be good to take on holiday for when i needed to charge my Ipod and of course play music. The station comes with a case which covers it nicely for travel. Overall it is a sound docking station.
Best features are:
1. Volume can be very loud!
2. Quick and effective charging.
3. It is extremely cheap to buy
4. Small and easy to take somewhere.
