Memorex Home Audio System with iPod Dock and CD Player (Black)

My dad's entertainment center takes up almost an entire wall of our house. The stereo system alone consists of about 3/4 of the space. Two huge speakers flank the TV; an entertainment rack has a turntable (aka record player, if anyone even knows what those are anymore), an old CD player from the late 90's (will not recognize CD-RWs or mp3 CDs), a tuner, an amplifier, and a cassette deck (another obsolete piece of equipment).
Why am I bringing this up? Well, Memorex realizes that the times have changed and have changed to bring you all that equipment in a much smaller package: meet the Memorex Home Speaker System for Ipod. This handy dock has not only an iPod dock (and charging station!) but AM/FM radio and a CD-RW/mp3 CD changer (nice addition, may I add!).
Firstly, I really enjoyed the price. Bose docks cost almost triple of the Memorex price, and I think while the quality of the Memorex is no where near the Bose, I find that it is adequate for my purposes. The unit...Read more

Before I purchase various items, I take the time to read User Reviews. In this case, I nearly passed up on this great little CD player! The reviews for this product were awful including people claiming tinny sound and poor durability (including many who said it completely stopped working after one month). Well, I don't know how other people have treated this product, but I've had it for a few months now and have not experienced any problems. Sound is great. It's easy to operate. It's got a compact and neat design. And, if you read the reviews for Bose products, people have loads of complaints including problems with installing CDs into the unit --- and these people paid many, many times over the cost of this Memorex unit. I was NOT disappointed in the performance of this item at all and would indeed recommend it to others.

I bought this Memorex Ipod Dock at Target about a year ago for around $100. At first, it was great. Great sound, (decent, nothing to get excited about), it was able to get pretty loud without becoming muddled and I liked how it allowed you to change the base and treble levels. The greatest thing about this product is that it had the CD player, ipod dock, and radio all in one, which made it unbelievably convenient.

HOWEVER, I turned it on yesterday morning only to find that, quite simply, the sound doesn't work anymore. I've never been rough with this or anything and I'm surprised it didn't last over a year. There goes $100 down the drain.

I would recommend getting a speaker system instead. One that you can use for your computer and also plug it in your ipod headphone jack. Most of the time their cheaper, sound better, and more versatile. Logitech sells some great sound systems for a great price, well under what this cost with more bang for your buck. I...Read more
