Pioneer XW-NAS5 iPod Audio System - Brutish & Powerful

The stylish Pioneer XW-NAS5 iPod audio system has just arrived in our labs and we gave it a listen to find out how it fares. It's one of the few devices we know that can mimic various external environments along with your favorite tunes.

Pioneer XWNAS5

Room-filling volume. Sounds great with the right material. FM radio. Component output. Great build quality. On-board DAC and digital amp.

High price. Some features are a bit naff. Can sound overly boomy. Remote control not so good.

The Pioneer XWNAS5 boasts a premium fit and finish, and while it goes loud a slight tendency for boominess spoils its hi-fi credentials.

Pioneer XW-NAS5 iPod dock

Pioneer's XW-NAS5 is a seriously expensive dock. It has a 10cm subwoofer, "ultra-rigid" construction and an "advanced sound retriever" which Pioneer claims "upscales" compressed MP3 audio to improve the sound.

Thin, sibilant sound

Pioneer XW-NAS5 review

The Pioneer XW-NAS5 is one of the most expensive iPod speaker docks we've laid eyes and ears on, but in return for that hefty wedge of cash we're promised top notch sound quality and design. So does it deliver? Read our full Pioneer XW-NAS5 review to...

Glorious looks. Optional wireless capabilties

The price is frightening

Stylish, solid and sonically adept – but the high price is a bit of a turn-off
