Digital camera reviews of iLive IHT3817DT Studio Series Speaker Dock with 2.1 Channel Sound System and Remote Control for iPod (Black)
Digital camera Review: Better Than I Expected
Summary: 5 Stars
Let me first say that the I Live was the best sound system for the ipod for UNDER $100 which is the price I paid, brand spanking new. I looked at a variety of ipod docking sytems, from Bose to Klipsh to Logi-tech, etc., but none can compare to this one for the price. Granted Bose and Klipsh did sound better at the mid-range, but then both were considerably more expensive. At the lower end, the I Live shines over the others, and competes very well at the high range as well. Also, I found that you can turn your sound check on the ipod, and adjust the equalization, and your can get a considerably better mid-range that way. The sound from this system fills up the 40 feet or so I have from my Family Room right to the kitchen...impressive. Furthermore, you have to consider versatility when buying one of these systems, and this system just leaves the others behind...way behind. You have a decent functioning FM band, auxilaries to connect to a bigger sub-woofer if you need more bass( all these systems can use more bass), and you can connect this to a big screen to get big video with your pics, or to enhance the sound system of your tv. Besides, the remote on this system is intelligently laid out and actually WORKS.
I am very pleased with this sytem thus far. I have had no trouble with the docking mechanism. I think what you have to do here is actually dock your ipod with the case still on...it seems to encourage this. I find this way there is more stabililty in the docking. In the end, I recommend this system, especially for the price. No other $100 system can compare.

In BlackJump to the next generation of iPod speaker sound with the iLive IHT3817DT 2.1-channel system, which not only offers a topnotch audio performance, but also a host of connectivity options for other audio and video devices. The unit starts with a built-in iPod docking station, which works with the iPod 3G, iPod 4G (click wheel), iPod photo 4G, iPod video 5G and 5.5G, iPod mini, iPod shuffle, and iPod nano 1G and 2G. Thanks to the docking station, you can play, charge, and sync your iPod all at once, no extra cords required. The sound, meanwhile, is guaranteed to impress thanks to the pair of full-range stereo speakers and dual subwoofers, which provide a far broader and more robust audio range than most systems in the iPod category. Add in True 3D and SRS TruBass audio enhancements and you have a great system for watching movies in addition to listening to music. The speakers are even magnetically shielded, so they won't interfere with the picture when placed near a TV.
Other than the wide-ranging speaker system, the IHT3817DT's most distinguishing feature is its variety of inputs and outputs. The unit includes four A/V inputs--two RCA and two S-video--along with a traditional L/R audio input and a 3.5 mm auxiliary input. As a result, you can hook up a host of audio and video devices to the speaker system, including a portable MP3 player, full-size CD player, DVD player, satellite receiver, camcorder, and more. At the same time, the system offers composite and S-video output jacks, so you can connect your iPod video or photo to a TV and view your pictures and videos on the big screen. Unlike most iPod speaker setups, the IHT3817DT can actually function as a comprehensive entertainment system, with cables running to most of your audio and video devices.
Other details include a digital AM/FM stereo with station presets for easy channel surfing; a backlit LCD display with a clock, alarm, and sleep timer; several preset equalizer settings; a headphone jack for private listening; a motorized iPod docking drawer; a full-feature remote control; and a mini-USB jack for PC communication (includes USB cable). The IHT3817DT, which is wall-mountable (includes hardware), measures 34.2 by 9.8 by 7 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a 90-day warranty.
