Griffin Amplifi Speaker System w/ iPod Dock review: Griffin Amplifi Speaker System w/ iPod Dock

 

Griffin Amplifi Speaker System w/ iPod Dock

The Griffin Amplifi looks expensive despite its bargain price tag and can really blast out full, powerful sound without any noticeable distortion. Auxiliary line-input allows for use with non-iPod players as well.

Compared with other iPod speaker systems, the Amplifi is bulky, devoid of features, and lacks some sonic sparkle.

The aptly named Amplifi has a singular purpose--getting your iPod to really crank without putting a hole in your wallet.

Griffin Amplifi 2.1 Speaker System Review

 

For the last twenty years, I have been a career musician. It hasn't always been pretty, but it has been pretty fun. Part of my job is to acquire and figure out a lot of different types of musical

Right price ; One Button ; Loud and warm

Lacks hi-fi sparkle and clarity ; Little or no features

Okay, overall I’m really impressed with how the Griffin Amplifi delivers. It’s loud and powerful and will fill a room or patio with the full spectrum of sound. Although it occasionally lacks clarity and sparkle, I could just as easily blame the...

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...

Griffin Amplifi

 

Griffin offer the Amplifi, a simple and eye-catching speaker system for your iPod. Our Griffin Amplifi review discovers if it can replace the, now defunct, Apple HiFi.

Easy to use, high-quality audio playback, attractive system at a price which competes with more expensive solutions

Lacks a little mid-range sound, lack of USB port for syncing, can only be powered from the mains

The Amplifi is a high-quality music playback system that competes well on music playback with other more expensive systems available. Combine that with the system's pleasing design and eye-catching looks and Griffin has a winner on its hands....

REVIEW: Griffin Amplifi 2.1 Sound System for iPod

 

When it comes to a lot of the iPod speaker docks out there, you are offered sound quality that isn't much better than a set of el cheapo PC speakers. Sure, they may be jazzed up with some glossy white styling, but if the sound output is no better than...

Let’s get one thing perfectly clear. The Grffin Amplifi Sound System is designed for one purpose and one purpose only: to play your iPod-fueled (or other audio source) tunes through a set of aurally-pleasing speakers. It’s not going to output your...

Excellent sound for price

 

This speaker system does a great job for the price. Has small footprint (semi-portable) and a handy remote for voluma control.

None that I've seen.

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Good Buy

 

After seeing and hearing comparible and much more expensive Bose docks, as well as more expensive docks that look to be inferior in retail stores, I don't see how you can go wrong for the price.

I'm by no means an audiophile, but in my opinion it was a good buy for the price and am very pleased. Before purchase, I was unsure about sound quality and max volume, but to my suprise it has great rich deep sound, and it is suprisingly loud. I have...

None so far.
