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.
Abstract: The iPod Hi-fi is seen by many as the black sheep of the Apple family when it comes to design - but we e not so sure. In the flesh the iPod Hi-fi is somewhat more compact than it appears in its press shots and the simplistic design is actually very appeal...
Abstract: The iPod Hi-Fi from Apple is described as a new high-fidelity speaker system that works with the iPod and a home stereo system. It’s a very nice package and will appeal to true iPod devotees. However, at US$349, it’s not something I personally...
Abstract: Apple are a little late to the iPod speaker party, but their late entrant has raced to the front of the grid offering stunning sounds if not the most eye watering design. We put the iPod HiFi through its paces.

The well-built Apple iPod Hi-Fi possesses excellent sound quality for a one-piece system, and it has lightning-quick controls, particularly when using the bundled remote control. Its also visually appealing and includes design features such as a built...
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: Joining the likes of Bose and Altec Lansing, Apple has released its own speaker unit -- the iPod Hi-Fi -- for the enormously popular iPod music player. Obviously, the idea of being able to play your extensive collection of iPod tunes for others in a v...
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....
High price, Precarious iPod positioning, Not that portable, Did we mention price?
In the end wed say that if price is your top consideration, the InMotion iM7 is your best buy. If design rates highly on your list of priorities, Apples sleek and simple lines may just sway you toward the iPod Hi-Fi. For pure sound quality, however,...
(Click here for details.) Its no great shock that Apples kept iPod Hi-Fis controls incredibly simple: the only two buttons on its body are capacitive (touch-sensitive) plus and minus circles on top, directly in front of the Universal Dock. Theres a...
idering all of these factors, and despite its good (if warm) low-volume sound and strong performance at high volumes, iPod Hi-Fi falls somewhere in the middle of the semi-portable speaker pack. Because of its comparatively high price, staid design, and...
If sustained sound quality at high volumes was the only measure of a great iPod speaker system, ratings would be easy to assign, and iPod Hi-Fi would be at or near the top of the pile. In fact, the iPod-specific speaker market has grown so considerably...
