Well built and easy to set-up. Works well with all iPod models and the remote is quite good. Can be used outside as long you don't mind the weight of the batteries. Sound quality is very good
But the top end has been lobbed off to protect you from the evils of MP3s. Will play very loudly.
Sounds good for its size. No power brick.
Excellent sound quality. Can run on alkaline batteries or AC power. Optical and analog audio inputs.
(Click here for details.) Its no great shock that Apples kept iPod Hi-Fis controls incredibly simple
The only two buttons on its body are capacitive (touch-sensitive) plus and minus circles on top
Directly in front of the Universal Dock. Theres a...
The well-built Apple iPod Hi-Fi possesses excellent sound quality for a one-piece system
And it has lightning-quick controls
Particularly when using the bundled remote control. Its also visually appealing and includes design features such as a built...

Is not as good as Steve Jobs claims. With all of the batteries inside
It weighs far too much. Top end does not have enough extension. May encourage you to listen far too loudly. Soundstage width and depth suffers due to the design.
Pricey. No extra features or functions.
Menu button on remote doesnt activate the iPods menu system. No video pass-through. Not available in all black.
Idering all of these factors
And despite its good (if warm) low-volume sound and strong performance at high volumes
IPod Hi-Fi falls somewhere in the middle of the semi-portable speaker pack. Because of its comparatively high price
Staid design
And...
The Apple iPod Hi-Fi sounds only marginally better than its competition but costs much more. Despite the remotes menu button
You cant navigate the iPods menu. There is no video line-out

The pricey Apple iPod Hi-Fi portable stereo speakers are well built and sound great, but they dont bring anything new to the table.
Abstract: Apples entry into the "hi-fi" speaker market has not been met without skepticism. After all, the iPod Hi-Fis marketing materials would leave one to wonder if Apple has simply never heard of customers using their iPods with anything other than the bun...

Its no surprise that the new champ among iPod speakers/docks comes from none other than Apple. Its versatile and loud enough for almost any listening needs, though it lacks video output....

If sustained sound quality at high volumes was the only measure of a great iPod speaker system, ratings would be easy to assign, and iPod Hi-Fi would be at or near the top of the pile. In fact, the iPod-specific speaker market has grown so considerably...
Abstract: The freight train that is the iPod has become an outright phenomenon and put the fortunes of Apple back on track. Theres hardly a debate about that. But when you factor in how many third-party peripherals there are for iPods, on top of what Apple put...
Abstract: Joining the likes of Bose and Altec Lansing, Apple has released its own speaker unit -- the iPod Hi-Fi -- for the enormously popular iPod music player. Obviously, the idea of being able to play your extensive collection of iPod tunes for others in a v...
Abstract: We take a quick look at the brand new iPod Hi-fi in the SmartHouse offices, under Australian conditions, to find out if it indeed cuts the musical mustard. So Apple are hi-fi manufacturers now. OK, its called a Hi-fi. Would they lie to us? Initial ...
High price, Precarious iPod positioning, Not that portable, Did we mention price?
In the end wed say that if price is your top consideration, the InMotion iM7 is your best buy. If design rates highly on your list of priorities, Apples sleek and simple lines may just sway you toward the iPod Hi-Fi. For pure sound quality, however,...
Apple styling, Works with every iPod, Produces decent bass
Sound quality, Price, Size and weight, Dock-insert removal The Final Word If the iPod Hi-Fi wasn’t marketed as producing audiophile-quality sound, then perhaps we’d be inclined to be a little more lenient. At this price, we can’t r...
If the iPod Hi-Fi wasn’t marketed as producing audiophile-quality sound, then perhaps we’d be inclined to be a little more lenient. At this price, we can’t recommend this system to anyone.
