A Good option for traveling or for use in your office,
January 2, 2010 This review is from: Travel Speaker System for iPod with carrying case (White) (Electronics)
Customer Video Review Length:: 4:53 Mins
I am a bit surprised that the Memorex Travel Speaker and iPod Dock is not more popular. It is reasonably priced (as far as iPod docks go), is portable (roughly the size of a paperback book), ad offers fair sound quality. Some have complained about the volume sensitivity, but that was never a problem for me. Here is my run down
Pros
- Reasonably priced for an iPod Dock
- Has a line-in input which allows for the play-back of all music sources that have a headphone out
- Will charge your iPod
- Will work with your iPhone (Although it must be in Airplane Mode)
- Works all iPods...Touch... Classics... shuffles (using the line-in input).
- Roughly the size of a paperback novel
- Will use batteries in addition to an AC power supply
- Has a blue clock display (not much of a positive - it is too small and hard to see).
Cons
- Sound quality is only fair - the unit is unable to deliver bass below about...Read more

Not bad...,

I bought this because I coulnd't afford the $100+ price tag on EVERY OTHER SPEAKER/DOC for the iPod!!! I really don't understand how they get away with charging what they do for these accessories and speakers?!?! Anyway,
PROS: this little deal sounds pretty good for it's small size. Charges the iPod. Has little case, not very protective but will keep dust out. Speaker(s)can lie flat or flip up to direct sound better.
CONS: cannot play iPhone(didn't see item desc and I don't own one but wife does and it won't play it). Cannot control volume on iPod once hooked up. The volume control moves in large increments, sometimes a little too loud or to low for room but can't fine tune level.

Works with iPhone, Not bad player,

I wanted to say that it does work with the iPhone, I have mine playing right now. I took my iPhone into a store to try this travel player. When I put my iPhone in the display set of this unit I got a message saying it wasn't compatible with the iPhone and did I want to use airplane mode? I chose no I didn't want airplane mode and it started to play my playlist from my iPhone anyway! I just checked it by calling it, and since I don't have it on airplane mode, a call still gets routed to the phone and interrupts my music which is fine with me.
To resolve the volume problem, I adjusted the volume up on my iPhone and then when reducing the volume on the speakers, I was able to modulate it better.
It's not perfect, but it holds my iPod and iPhone, it's portable and looks nice on my desk. I'm sure it's not the sound quality of some others out there but I didn't want to spend a ton of money. I have kids, things get broken, I'll be carrying it back and forth to work, so...Read more
