Apple iPod Hi-Fi
Apple's superhyped February 28 announcement didn't yield a new video iPod, but it did bring a new iPod speaker system to the table. The $349 iPod Hi-Fi is Apple's answer to the many third-party iPod speaker systems available from companies such as ...
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. It's also visually appealing and includes design features such as a ...
The Apple iPod Hi-Fi sounds only marginally better than its competition but costs much more. Despite the remote's menu button, you can't navigate the iPod's menu. There is no video line-out, headphone jack, or dock-connector output. The Hi-Fi's weight ...
The indicator light coupled with the bundled iPod Remote creates a unique...

Excellent sound quality. Can run on alkaline batteries or AC power. Optical and analog audio inputs.
Menu button on remote doesn't activate the iPod's menu system. No video pass-through. Not available in all black ; Watch the Apple iPod Hi-Fi Video Review

Apple's first big-ticket iPod accessory offers big sound, unique features.
Considered in the appropriate context-compact speaker systems, not full-size home stereos-the Hi-Fi is a unique addition to the iPod accessory market. Although its level of treble detail is a bit disappointing, the Hi-Fi provides big, room-filling ...
Big, rich sound ; surprisingly good bass response and volume levels for its size ; easy to use ; innovative software features ; runs off AC or battery power ; can power iPod even when Hi-Fi running off battery ; analog/optical auxiliary input with ...
Lacks treble detail ; top-mounting dock makes it difficult to place the Hi-Fi on a bookshelf and requires you to remove iPod before moving system ; no video-out ; scratchable surfaces, fabric grille, and heavy weight not really suited for portable use ...
The top of the Hi-Fi hosts Apple's Universal iPod dock cradle; 10 adapter inserts are included for compatibility with all current and previous dockable iPods. In front of the dock are touch-sensitive up/down volume pads. Although this top-mounted dock ...
For this reason, Apple notes that your Hi-Fi will get better battery life if...

Manufacturer's Description
The innovative design of iPod Hi-Fi transforms consumer-grade materials into the ideal enclosure for high-fidelity sound. The high-end sound of iPod Hi-Fi pours out of a double-walled plastic shell designed for maximum stiffness to prevent vibration and resonance - two major causes of sonic imperfection. And airtight sealing allows voluminous, unobstructed sound, effectively preventing buzzing and clatter. iPod Hi-Fi features three speaker cones custom designed to provide balanced sound...
