Review: Griffin Amplifi 2.1 Sound System for iPod

 

New speaker makers-even when they're established vendors of other types of accessories-now instantly raise our suspicions. It's far too easy these days for a Western company to slap its name on a system already on sale in Taiwan or China, raise the...

An all-in-one speaker system that rivals the audio performance and simplicity of Bose's twice-as-expensive SoundDock, sometimes adding additional bass beyond the SoundDock's capabilities. Includes Infrared remote control, easy-to-use power and volume...

Styling and sound signature skew towards bass-loving men, versus the more gender-neutral, slightly smoother SoundDock, and vocals tend to stand out a little, which some users may or may not like. Very limited rear ports, omitting video-out and data...

Dissapointed with the Amplfi. There's a constant chirping and low frequency hum when the unit is switched on. Also the volume control is very imprecise. You can feel the clicks when you turn the knob but it takes three or four clicks before the volume...

More Than a year Rolling and still Awesome.

 

For 1/4 the price of the Bose, better bass. Nice design. You seriously can't go wrong with this buy. Stop reading the reviews and buy it! This is like the Sennheiser PX100 but on the ipod docks, best Bang for you Buck you can find. Enjoy!

I have had this Sound Dock more than a year ago. I paid about $120 for it. And Let me say it was worth the 120 dollars, And right now is at 72$! Buy it you won't regret it. If you are still comparing the BOSE to this one, here is the difference between...

The only Con in all this time, is that sometimes when using the remote it will not get the signal if you use it diagonal from the Dock. That's about it

Very nice

 

For the price you can NOT beat this ..blows away anything i have seen or heard for less than a hundred bucks...if you want a bose system but have no where near the money for it ..buy this...it is classy, built well and most important sounds great!!!

Excellent sound, sleek and sharp lookiing, not to big but has a good heavy feel to it. Nice bass

Remote is average and i havent figured out if i can change albums or just scan through songs with it...no biggie though

Great Product!

 

Great Product!

I bought this about a year ago from a deal of the day web site (for A LOT cheaper than Amazon has it listed...brand new for $45 shipped), and it is one of the best purchases I have made. I am by no means an audiophile, but in my opionion the sound...

Great sound and nice aesthetics

I wonder why Griffin discontinued the Amplifi? I just love the sound and the simple design. I did not need another alarm clock or any other bells and whistles - this unit is perfect. I wonder if it is compatible with the new 5th generation (video)...

Great soundsystem

 

Great soundsystem

This product has great sound, I was really surprised and impressed upon my first use with it. It is akin to a bose system for sure. The bass is outstanding, and it really carries with the volume cranked. The only bummer is that it does NOT recharge the...

Great item for the price... I play it on the deck next to the pool. I am satified.

Great volume, small size, great sound quality, bad remote.

 

Great volume, small size, great sound quality, bad remote.

I use this with my first generation 80gb video ipod. I don't use any other audio inputs. The sound this thin delivers is amazing, the quality is fantastic and this is easily loud enough for a small house party. The built in sub on the bottom side is...

lack of low volume control a huge issue for some

 

lack of low volume control a huge issue for some

Turning the volume dial from mute up one click switches the volume to about 1/3 volume, which is a huge issue for anyone who needs to play music at a low volume - babies room, falling to sleep to music, etc. No, you can't adjust the volume via the...
