iRhythm A461 - iPod Portable Docking Speaker - Black
Portable, yet another stunning product delivering rich sound - the new A460/461 series from the makers of well known Cyber-Acoustics - iRhythms.. With a total system power of 6 watts, (3 watts each), using 2 Neodymium Micro Drivers, it has got the power to fill a room with quality sound whilst maintaining it’s portability for travel. Not forgetting, that it can charge your ipod and sync whilst listening to your favourite music. What more..?? It can run off the batteries on move! (Batteries not included) and comes with almost 7 inserts for various ipod models.

Customer Review: Good value&good sound - shame about the annoying plug.
I have just recently bought these speakers for myself and i am pleased with the sound,price and quality of them. There is only one thing that bothers me about them, the plug makes a buzzing sound when you switch it on. It doesn’t effect the sound when the speakers are playing music, but when they are just on to charge the ipod, the sound is really irritating. I’m not sure if it is a fault with my speakers or if it happens with every single set. It would be interesting to hear if other sets have the same problem.

Customer Review: Sounds good, but power and dock connections are weakest link
Sound is great! portability no problem, but I had a problem with the power pack supplied. The power lead has a continental European two-prong plug with a slide-on UK adapter. When I first plugged the unit in, nothing happened. By elimination I worked out that the UK adapter was faulty. I could not be bothered to return the whole unit to Amazon, so I replaced the adapter and the unit’s fine now. Note that the cheaper model ( I paid ?31.99) does not come with a remote control. Also, the ipod nano needs to put into the dock rather carefully, holding the unit in one hand : if you just try to push it in from above, it’s fiddly and can’t be done without risking damage to the ipod. That having been said, I’m very happy with this purchase.
