Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
If you're looking for a rich-sounding speaker system for your Android phone, the Fidelio certainly delivers. The sound quality over Bluetooth was very life-like and crisp. Right out of the box, I had absolutely no problems getting this system to work.

The remote control is a convenient addition, though I couldn't figure out exactly what some buttons do. The volume control and power buttons are the only ones I need. There's an option on the remote which interfaces with the Songbird app, however I did not download that, so I can't say how well that works.

My biggest complaint is the docking mechanism itself. While it is adjustable and has a swivel base, I had some difficulty getting my phone (a Motorola Triumph) to stay plugged into charging mode.

Overall, I am impressed with the sound quality. The Bluetooth functionality is great because you can get any BT-enabled phone, including an Iphone, to interface with the speakers. It will also accept a...Read more

I ordered the AS851 and the AS111 docking system on November 19th and received them both on November 22, 2011. The hook up was so easy out the box. The sound of the AS851 is amazing, whether at low or high volume. The AS111 sound is also amazing to be four watts. I have a Nexus One phone and the fidelio app worked smoothly without any issues. Once I dock the phone, every feature automatically connects, bluetooth, the app and so forth. I am extremely pleased with this purchase with no issues or regrets. I would really recommend this system to anyone with an android phone. FYI, I did have to install a firmware update after the fidelio app was installed. After installation of the fidelio app, go to settings and config whether you want an auto or manuel updates for the firmware updates. In my opinion, Philips did an excellent job with their android Fidelio docking series...no complaints.

The charging dock is a little unwieldy, but we enjoy the sound. We didn't download any of the apps, preferring the music apps we already use. Takes up a lot less room than our old stereo, too.
