The editors didn't like
Sound was a little heavy on bass.
Picks up more lint than an army of electrocuted sweaters. Has an annoying tendency to turn itself off after about 30 minutes
Necessitating you to find the too-cute
Too-tiny remote or simply walk over and switch the thing back on. The LED usually glows e
It took us several tries to get WiFi properly set up for AirPlay and Spotify Connect
Limited remote controls. No bass and treble adjustments. Can’t connect to Mac for iPod syncing.
Digital signal processing may irk purists. Very expensive. Light on accessories
No tuner or CD player
Somewhat expensive
Single status light with many possible colors and flashing patterns
Composite video output provides poorer quality than other types of video
High price is only partially justified by differences in audio and design relative to less expensive top performers
Threadbare on features and frills save for its optional optical audio input
And rubber stand is less than ideally suited to the unusua...
Overwhelming bassAirPlay is laggyPricey
Very pricey for an iPod dock with few features
Very expensive
Sounds better on acoustic music than bass-heavy genres such as rock and hip-hop
Rubberized mounting stand seems better-suited to a cheaper product
Light on features.
Hard to carry/Not really portable
Clunky remote
Cannot navigate iPod menu with remote
Steep price tag
It's six hundred dollars!
Very expensive at $700. Excellentsounding wireless speakers can be had for less. Swapping between input modes is indicated by an inscrutable
Colorchanging LED. It sounds best about a foot away from the wall
So don't put it on a bookshelf
Expensive
Large as one-piece iPod speakers go
No data port for syncing iPod with computer
Rubber stand clumsy and inelegant compared to the rest of the system.
