| This is the best Ipod portable speaker, Period. I previuosly owned a Klipsh iGroove and a Bose SoundDock, both nice units, but are not even close to the Hi-Fi which has the best sound quality and power to size ratio than any other Ipod speaker i have heard. |

I could not be happier with the iPod Hi-Fi. It far surpasses any other ipod stereo out there.
Here's why:
1. Its small enough that it can travel anywhere you go. Very portable
2. It has the sound quality and sound level of a home theater system. It has been perfect for 100 person parties that i have had inside and even outside around the pool, etc.
3. Not only can you put your iPod on the dock, but you can plug your computer into it and play everything right through there.
4. You can even plug it into your tv and have the sound play through.
5. For the price, it has more durability, quality, and abilities than any other sound system on the market - definitely better than the zeppelin, which can be going for 500's range. |

My wife and I have a high end home entertainment system that uses Paradigm Reference loudspeakers. I'll say right up front that the Apple Hi-Fi is not in the same league on the low end (bass). However, it is to Apple's credit that they did not try to artificially enhance the low end. The bass is smooth and tight to the physical limits of the small system.
Moving up the frequency range, the midrange and highs are excellent. One of the things that impressed me when we first got the Paradigm's was their projection and imaging. The Apple Hi-Fi projects voices nearly as well, but of course the drivers are much too close to each other to be able to image a large room. It can reach decent sound levels in one, however.
On the weight issue, I believe Apple made a conscious design decision to sacrifice weight for sound quality. It takes weight to make good sound: weight in the power supply, weight in the driver magnets and weight in the enclosure. I for one would not be willing to give up sound quality to get a lighter unit. The compact size also accentuates the weight - this thing is solid.
Apple's often mocked Hi-Fi hype is that it could be your only audio system. Well, if we were forced to downsize and give up our large entertainment system, then yes, I believe we could live with the Apple Hi-Fi as our sole music source.

When I was a kid, I was fascinated by better quality sound than I was getting from TV and standard AM radio. I built a bunch of enclosures and amplifiers to see what a 10 year old could do with little money. The quest has continued even now that I'm 61. I've bought cheap "boogy boxes" that had better than average sound. I looked for what I intuitively knew what was possible. I've seen cheap stuff sound better than an Altec Lansing system that the owner said cost $30,000.
I know the serious freaks may complain about Steve Job's hyperbole about this product, but for me, it's rock solid. You can crank it up to max and it never distorts. What Apple gets out of a five inch woofer is amazing. And when you lift the device (and it's heavy), you gotta' know they didn't waste the weight just for the sake of forcing you to lift it.
Of the various sound products I've ever bought, this one is the most satisfying. |

Just make sure you use this with plenty of space around it. It doesn't sound nearly as good in small inclosed areas. Larger rooms and outdoor spaces show it's potential.
