super for the price [Posted on 2007-05-13]
I've been looking around for a portable speaker system for my iPod for a long time. I've always thought that anything that plays music out of your already expensive mp3 player shouldn't cost an arm and a leg. Most of the good one are up around $300. This one looked like it had potential for much less. It's really portable and even has am/fm. When I first tried it, I got a lot of sound distortion. But after adjusting the volume on the iPod, it has sounded great ever since. I take it outside in the yard or put on music during dinner in the dinning room. I even tune to the ball game when it's on. The sound is really good, plenty loud enough and now, no distortion. And for one-third the price of some of the other types, you can't beat it (unless they made it even cheaper).
Great Sound / Loud Enough for "By the Pool" [Posted on 2007-06-24]
I needed a 'portable' radio to take outside by the pool for my ipod. I purchased this radio with hesitation not sure if it could provide the volume necessary. When i saw the price, i took the calculated chance and it worked beautifully. The sound is really clear and it works great. I will probably look for more memorex / ipod related products. i'm the kind that will stick to a brand if it find its a good product.
Stopped playing my ipod! [Posted on 2007-08-23]
I ordered this in July to take camping so I could listen to my ipod, and it worked wonderfully! I used it only a couple of times during my camping trip, and then brought it home and took it on my deck to play outside, and it didn't play my ipod! It still charges the ipod, but when playing the songs, no sound comes out! I guess it just stopped working! The radio still plays, and the sound is great, but I bought it to play my ipod and if it doesn't do that then it's worthless to me. Very disappointing that it stopped working after only a couple of times. I've owned this boombox for less than one month, and already have this trouble, and I've taken excellent care of it, so it's nothing I did. Maybe I got a bad one???
not work for my ipod - wrong adapter [Posted on 2007-09-16]
we bought this at walmart - I have a new ipod nano, with a metal case; after reading a previous post, maybe these are different, but anyway...I can sit it on the dock w/o an adapter, and it works, but there is no support for it, so that wouldn't last long. I called the company to see if there was an adapter, and she said to take it back to the store. I have opted not to bother trying to get a new adapter.
Don't waste your money [Posted on 2007-12-27]
I was given this as a gift for Christmas. The inserts for the different Ipods are hard to install and remove, which is a pain if you want to share this with someone who has a different model Ipod than you. The sound quality is poor. Very tinny with no tone controls. The SRS WOW seems to run all the time which makes everything sound like it was recorded in a wash tub. When playing at a louder volume (like you might need to when using it outdoors) the sound is distorted and the Ipod actually rattles in the holder.
I suppose if you are going to be playing this at very low volumes, it might be okay, but I will be looking to spend a few more bucks and get a better unit.
What really is rotten about this whole genre of products is that you can buy a decent sounding CD boombox for under $50, but you can't seem to do the same for your Ipod.
