Philips DS8500 Fidelio Dock review: Philips DS8500 Fidelio Dock

 

Philips DS8500 Fidelio Dock

The Philips Fidelio speaker dock for iPhone and iPod delivers exceptional audio quality for its price, along with unique extras, such as a full-feature remote, proximity-sensitive lights, and an iOS app with integrated control over the hardware's...

The Fidelio's bulky design isn't travel-friendly, the power adapter brick isn't pretty, remote control range is mediocre, and you'll be nagged into downloading the free Fidelio app, whether you want to use it or not.

The Philips Fidelio speaker dock is a good value with impressive sound and a solid, attractive design.

Very Stylish - great sound

 

I work as a sound engineer and so this was not bought without research or experienced ears. For the money, it is the best on the market, in my opinion. The volume, spread and tone range are awesome for the size of speakers - in fact, it's almost too...
