iConcepts Universal Docking Cradle and Wireless Remote for iPod (19688C-IP) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This dock works for synchronizing with iTunes or playing music from my 6th generation iPod Classic 120 GB. I have to take the iPod out of its clear plastic case in order to fit it into the dock. The Apple brand insets don't fit this dock.
The remote works well if it's pointed directly at the dock in a clear line of sight and fairly close range.
Of course, this dock has to be plugged into a computer or AC power supply through its USB cable. It's not battery powered.
This dock does NOT work for my 5th generation iPod Nano 8 GB. It includes an inset that fits, but the electronics are apparently incompatible--the iPod plays out of its internal speaker rather than through the docking station. For the time being, the Apple Universal Dock - Digital player docking station seems to be the way to go for this new iPod.
I don't know what they mean when they say you can "use the included A/V cable to enjoy video on your television." I don't see any video port or cable. You can see the stereo audio cable that was included with this dock in the customer images I posted. No video on the cable they sent me. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Yamaha YID-W10 Wireless iPod Dock (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this product cause I love to have my iphone in my hand while sitting on the couch or at the dining table and being able to switch songs frequently without having to get up. It's also nice to be able to control your receiver volume by using the side buttons on your iPhone.
However, you should be aware of a couple drawbacks of this product:
- This dock does not allow you to display song title and album artwork on your TV screen. If you want this feature, you'll need to go with the non-wireless dock YDS-11SL. Also you cannot send iTunes videos to the TV like you can with the YDS-11SL.
However, this product has a video synchronization feature that works well - basically this allows you to play itunes video content or youtube videos on your iPhone screen (while holding your iphone in your hand) while the audio wirelessly comes through your receiver speakers. The device does a perfect job of syncing up the audio with the video (but remember the video will only be on your tiny iphone screen rather than up on the TV).
- I bought this product because I wanted a wireless solution for my iPhone music and yAired technology was supposed to be hands-down better sound quality than a bluetooth connection. I still think it's better than bluetooth, but I was a little disappointed because the audio occasionally breaks in and out with yAired. The audio breaks are rare - It usually happens when you first start playing music (maybe connection takes a while to solidify) or if you're moving around the house with the iphone in your hand. Note that it does play perfectly everytime when you have the iphone sitting in the dock.
Overall I still like the wireless feature, but was a little disappointed with yAired connection quality.

Griffin Cradle Charging Dock Station with AV Stereo Video, Music, Photos for Apple iPod Nano / iPod Nano 2nd Gen / iPod Classic 4th & 5th Generation / iPod Photo / iPod Video with RF Remote Control Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I recently acquired this charging station when I purchased a new iPod Classic 160 GB. (Replacing a 5 year old 60 GB Photo Classic that died after a rather short life, in my opinion.) This charging station fulfills the same function as the charging station that came with my old iPod (no charging station with the new one) plus provides a simple function remote for working with the music. Basically, you can turn the iPod on or off, adjust volume, or move forward or back on the current play list. All the functionality I need. I cannot comment about the range because my desk is barely 5 feet from my stereo. Seems to work fine over that range.
My concerns:
One: For some reason the charging base has a pilot light that seems essentially useless.
Two: The fit of the iPod into the base is not "tight" like the base was with my old iPod. I wonder if, over time, this will put a strain on the connector pins on the base and/or the iPod.
Three: Having previously used an AirClick remote with my old iPod, I note that this remote carries forward two annoying features.
First, it has a switch to enable/disable the remote. In my experience, this was a useless feature that more often was bumped in error and led to frustration thinking the remove was not working.
Second, if you need to replace the battery inside the remote (it lasted a long time for me with my older AirClick) the bottom of the remote is held on by three of the tiniest screws you can imagine. Ultimately i lost two of the screws on my old remote. Sometimes I would have to take the base off because the battery would shift out of position.
Overall, this product is pretty good. I did not really cross shop other products to see if there was something better because the price was reasonable and it met my needs. Really my biggest concern is about the way the 160 GB iPod Classic is not tightly held in the base.

Use Airdock to connect your iPod directly to your TV , Home Stereo or your Computer !
To use AirDock with your home entertainment system :
1. In this package, we've included our own high-quality HomeConnect AV cable for video and audio connection to your home entertainment system. Plug HomeConnect's 1/8" plug into AirDock's AV out port. Plug the other end of HomeConnect into the appropriate RCA plugs in your entertainment system.
About the Remote
AirDock comes with its own full-function RF remote control, that works through walls, up to 60 feet away. Use it to control Play/Pause, Fast Forward, Previous/Rewind and volume, as you would expect from any remote.
If you have the good fortune to live in a two-AirDock household, AirDock's Pairing feature may be useful. Through Pairing, you can "lock" your AirDock so that it will respond to only one AirDock Remote, ignoring the commands of other remotes in the same household.
Other Features
Your AirDock features video pass-through so you can control a video while it is playing. The Play, Pause, Fast Forward, and Rewind functions on the Remote works as you would expect your DVD player to work.
And, of course you can use AirDock simply as a standard iPod dock, to sync your iPod with files on your computer.
