There Are Better Valued Options: A Philips DS1210/37 Speaker Dock Review,
October 18, 2011 This review is from: Philips Speaker Dock for iPod/iPhone/iPad DS1210/37 (Electronics)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
After purchasing the Philips Fidelio DS7700, I was excited to try the Philips DS1210 Speaker Dock. The DS1210, made in China, seems like a technologogically advanced alarm clock featuring dual charging capacity, speakers, an internal battery incase of power failures, a digital clock, and glowing night light in a stylish black weave exterior with brushed aluminum accents.
Like the Philips Fidelio DS7700 Docking Speaker, the DS1210 is compatible with all iPod, iPhone, and iPad models and can typically be used without removing your iDevice from its case. Both speaker docks produce full rich sound, significantly improve iDevice audio, and make use of the Fidelio app.
The Fidelio app, when connected to the internet and used with the DS1210, includes playback controls, a multi-function alarm clock, music collection...Read more

Obsessed with Sound,

I have been looking for a nice dock for my iPhone for awhile, my old iHome unit not being compatible with my newest iPhone. When the Philips Docking Speaker came available via Amazon Vine, I jumped at the chance to review it. It has all I want in a docking station and even more. Its unique design enables the user to dock/charge one item while charging another via USB port hidden at the rear of the unit. But, wait! There's more! The Fidelio app (it's free) turns your device into an internet radio, multi-function alarm clock, and, for you in tornado alley (and others), a weather alert system. As a middle-aged grandmother I'm still nearly as obsessed with my electronic toys as the younger generation is. What I am really happy about is that this has a limited one-year warranty. That tells me the company stands by the quality of its product. Something I think is super cool is that the docking station will automatically synchronize with your electronic device. The unit is compact...Read more

I just received this item this morning. I was looking for a dock for my iPad that I could have on my desk at work since I use my iPad all day long in meetings, etc it would be nice to have a home for it when I'm at my desk working to keep the battery charged. This dock works great for that purpose. I don't really utilize the speakers that much since I am in an office environment however down low it is clear and easy to hear.
What I love most about this dock is that I use the Incase Convertible Magazine Jacket - Hard case for web tablet - rubber - black - Apple iPad and a lot of charging bases including apples own don't allow the ipad to be docked without removing the case. This dock however has plenty of room to allow the iPad to sit on the dock with the case on and the cover folded back behind it. This is exactly what I was...Read more
