Sub £100 iPod Dock.

K1LLSW1TCH · 29 Oct 2009 at 19:51

Hello all. As titled really, I'm looking for a christmas present and I've decided that a dock for my iPod would look nice on my desk. I have a price limit of £100 and I just thought I'd see what you guys recommend. Cheers in advance.

Amethyst iPanda.

They're pandas.

They sound IMMENSE.

They're £50.

In all honesty though they're actually epic.

You can get them as pigs as well

They're just upset because they haven't got one.

What do you want to do with said dock? I got a perfectly functional dock for £20, though it won't win you any style awards.

Go and listen to one, honestly. They sound absolutely amazing for the price, they're the best sounding sub £100 iPod dock I've ever heard, and I've heard more than most.

That panda looks epic!

What I'm looking for specifically is something that looks sleek and minimalist, I'm not overly concerned about the sound, as long as it has a half decent sound then that's alright. But mainly it's about the styling, just something nice to look at, with a decent sound. Hope that helps a little, the panda is lovely, but a bit quirky for me.

Seen some nice JBL ones that look like a donut, produce awesum sound too. The facepalm was to the panda.

Your loss. They're awesome.

I'm not sure wether I'm allowed to post links to the Apple store, but I've been looking at this Dock/Speaker. It's an Altec Lansing iM500 v4. I don't really know much about Altec Lansing, can anyone recommend them? I like the look of the product, but sound quality wise does anybody know what kind of reputation they have?

PardonTheWait · 30 Oct 2009 at 02:06

Personally none of the Altec offerings have ever impressed me but they sell fairly well

Get the pig dude you know it makes sense

I really want to get the panda based on your recommendation, but I just feel it'd make me look like a complete *** sat at my desk listening to my iPod through it!

You'd look like the king of awesome.

I'm sure I would, I'm gonna go and see what the pig looks like.

Klipsch iGroove is pretty awesome, can quite happily fill a room. When I got one in spring they were only £70, seems they have got a bit more expensive since though.

That's one sexy set of speakers there. I might see if whoever buys me it can stump up the extra cash for them, they look really sleek.

The iPanda is the perfect gift for all occasions and puts a smile on sad faces.

Fantastic description, it makes a sad panda into a happy panda!

Maybe they're supposed (trying) to sound spooky!
