I have had this product for a few weeks. The sound quality is amazingly good for such a small unit. While I am no audiophile, I am comparing it with my regular audio setup consisting of an Onkyo amplifier and Polk Rti A7 speakers. The design is simple and elegant. I was pleasantly surprised that it was compatible with all my ipod products: 2nd and 3rd generation ipod Nano and iphone4. The reasons I have not given it 5 stars are that the connection system under the handle is a bit awkward and the remote control is not very intuitive. However there is a sticker for the back of the remote that allows for easy reference. The remote is needed for all functions of the unit except the on/off button on the unit itself. Fortunately there is a pocket at the back of the unit to store the remote so it does not get lost. Overall I am very pleased with this product and would highly recommend it. I am surprised the manufacturer does not advertise it more widely, this is a winner product.
