Nice Dock [Posted on 2008-03-05]
My wife enjoys this Dock Station for her office at work. She really enjoys the Remote Control. The Magnetic Touch volume control doesn't work well for her; however, works fine for me? The unit is compact and attractive.
Perfect for office [Posted on 2008-03-19]
I received the item very quickly and it works perfectly for my office. Easy to use.
Does the job, but has some minor issues [Posted on 2008-04-20]
works fine with iPod touch. for the price, sound is acceptable. volume adjustment requires touching two buttons simultaneously and is not intuitive. remote control does not work well. decent product for the price, but not great.
Not Bad [Posted on 2008-04-28]
I would say this product is not bad but not wonderful. The only problem I have found so far is that the remote is very sensitive. The remote barely works so I find myself not even using it because I don't have the patience to take 5 minutes or longer to turn up the volume or change the song. The sound quality is decent for the size.
This one works! [Posted on 2008-05-08]
After trying the JBL On Stage Micro, JBL On Stage 3, Logitech Pure-Fi Anywhere, iLive IC2807 etc, etc, finally there's a compact speaker-dock that has a battery option, decent sound and a remote that works with the iPod Touch.
Portability - weighs 13oz (without batteries or iPod), and the 110/220 power supply adds another 5oz, so definitely something you can chuck in a ziploc and take wherever.
Sound quality - not bad all things considered, IMO it beats the On Stage Micro hands down & is similar to the On Stage 3, probably not as good as the JBL to a purist but for some reason I just preferred the Satechi's sound, maybe it was the not spending the extra $90 that was music to my ears. The Pure-Fi does have better sound quality & power but it's remote doesn't work with the Touch so why bother calling it compatible Logitech?
Makes a slight fizzing sound at low volume, but nothing like as bad as the On Stage 3, definitely liveable with, the JBL's fizz pop rules out playing anything with actual quiet bits.
Remote - Feels kinda cheap, but then it is kinda cheap - $40! No worse than you get with the other products I tried, once you get used to pressing the buttons all the way in it works fine. As stated in other reviews the remote is a bit odd to use, but I think some of that comes from how the Touch's menus/navigation sort of don't lend themselves to a simple remote. Keeping the up/down arrow buttons pressed works, ie you dont have to press a button multiple times to move down a list. Range is good, 15 ft +, with a decent angle too. The only bug with mine (so far) is if you use the Power button to turn off and then back on again it briefly come to life then shuts down again, but if you turn it back on using the Play button instead it does stay on. Also, if the album/playlist ends and the Touch shuts itself down you'll need to actually leave your sofa to do the thumbswipe(!), whereas if you Power Off before this happens then it will come back to life without needing a thumbswipe.
Ordering/Delivery - Ordered mine here and Satechi shipped the next day so you get it just as fast as the little brown truck can get to you from San Diego. The box also says iCraft on it, not sure if that's an alternate product name or a new line of i-Accessories.
All in all, if you want something for travelling etc you can't go wrong with this one.
