Not as refined as some rivals. Looks lack the Apple finesse....
Abstract: Apple made some big claims when it introduced the iPod Hi-Fi?by calling it an ?audiophile-quality? system, the company invited harsh criticism from audio geeks everywhere. Had the pitch instead been, ?We don?t think anyone else has done the all-in-one...
Abstract: Historically, Apple Computer has had a fairly hands-off approach when it came to accessories for its venerable iPod. While offering a few essential attachments, Apple always seemed to stop short of encroaching on the third-party products coming from co...
Abstract: Despite all my criticisms, the iPod Hi-Fi delivers a great room-filling sound and decent bass, especially for an all-in-one unit. However, Apple’s claims that it is portable are more of a gimmick than practical. Just because it CAN run off batteries...
Abstract: Apples computers have always been audio- and video-friendly, but the company has mostly left the home entertainment part of the equation up to third-party developers. Although an Apple hard-disk video recorder or music server has seemed like an obvio...
The Hi-Fis sound quality is good enough to earn it our Great rating, but we cant help thinking about how Awesome it could be with either a lower price or some innovative iPod-oriented features.

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, headphone jack, or dock-connector output. The Hi-Fis weight ...
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...
Excellent sound quality. Can run on alkaline batteries or AC power. Optical and analog audio inputs.
Menu button on remote doesnt activate the iPods menu system. No video pass-through. Not available in all black.
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....
