The iPod Hi-Fi is a nice-sounding addition to the iPod family, but there are other less-expensive alternatives.

Consumer review (productreview.com.au)

Good

Remember the old saying "You get what you pay for"… So with this system - excellent system quality-wise, as all Apple products. This has got by far the best sound, very crisp and clear, great bass.

excellent unit, excellent sound, excellent design - very sleek

soooo expensive, I could have bought another iPod or 2 Nanos for that price. Not very portable too
