Pros & Cons

Pros

Ipod hifi has much louder and more solid bass than the bose. Clarity is also very impressive on the hifi. Bose is a good speaker that many people recommend but it's better suited for playing classical and jazz music.

The infrared remote is very sensitive. The only gripe i have is that the remote is pretty limited. It would be nice if it had a nitch for it to reside in.

The sound is phenomenal. It's clear and crisp no matter how loud i've cranked it up. The device is small (relative to most sound systems) and has a very clean appearance. All the predecessors simply do not provide the sound this is capable of.

Clear sound that seems to be panned and seperated brilliantly. Allows the user to pump up the volume a bit without sacrificing sound quality. Can hear every instrument in each song, including some overdubs that i never knew exisited.

Hi fi system is what it is - and that is a pretty amazing little device. Even old and used, the apple hifi blows all the other speakers out of the water. You will not be disappointed with the apple hifi.



Cons

Hi fi is definitely misleading, it is clear that this box is trying to create a lot of sound in a little space, much like the bose sounddock. The sound it produces is just freakin' the same. No matter where i put the unit in the room, it sounds like a...  Read More

I am impressed on a daily basis with this product.


However, it is to apple's credit that they did not try to artificially enhance the low end.


I can see where apple caught it as having been improperly timed for the market (the user interface could have been better), but...  Read More

Price


The price is a little steep but i think well worth it.


The price is fairly high (i did pick mine up refurbished from the apple website) but there's a couple of bonus' that i really l...  Read More


If cost is an issue check out the xtrememac tango or the altec lansing and do not listen to the bose or the hifi.


Price wise yeah, but not in quality.

Shipping


My kids like it hard and loud and i like it fast and loud and i want it to surround me.


(normally charges for shipping even for prime customers.


And keep checking: occasionally amazon will offer free shipping for this item making it an even better deal.

Competitiveness


Furthermore, although quite heavy, it is certainly portable and the ac adapters of its competitors are one of their low points.


His is still working like a champ.


Sure, $350 is ridiculous and the unit should have included built in wifi but it is a solid performer and edges out its competitors.


It would be a nobrainer if i have an airport express and a 5g ipod already.

    The apple hifi unit is by no means a groundbreaking device

    A ridiculous claim and one of the few stumbles apple can be blamed for
