JVC Portable Audio System with Dual Docks for iPod/iPhone, NX-PN7

I saw alot of other products out there that where price comparable but none came with dual charging docks or sounded as good or for that matter looked as cool as the jvc. in my personal opinion if your on a budget like me and still want something thats sweet go buy this NOW..

If you have 2 ipods in your house this is a must the radio part isn't bad either for local stations.

Better than expected radio quality both AM and FM. Great way to charge 2 iPhones in one place. Can play content from either phone. I am happy with it at less than $100.

Bought it for my boyfriend and he loves it. The dual docks are a nice touch. We can both charge our IPODs at the same time.

This unit is just what I needed! It is sized perfectly to fit where I wanted to put it and allows charging of two iPods simultaneously.

PROS:
- Two iPods at once is a huge benefit. I was using a radio that did not charge the unit for listening to iPods overnight. Daily I would have to recharge. Now they play and charge at the same time leaving them ready for usage elsewhere during the day on battery power.

- Remote control to change iPods, volume and other features without having to be directly at the radio.

- The sound quality is adequate for the size. It is not tinny and provides full sound. It does not give BOSE-like quality, but you also don't have to pay those prices!

CONS:
- The cable is hard wired into the radio and has a huge transformer box midway down the cable. I needed to thread the cable through furniture openings and the box prevented me from placing the unsightly box elsewhere. I also lose the extra length between the box and the radio because I had to thread it out. If you have similar issue, the cable will be about 4-5 feet in length beyond the box with another 4-5 feet between the box and the radio.

- The remote contains most of the functions, but it also aids in keeping the unit smaller. Ensure you maintain control of this device or many features will be unavailable.

- The display is adequate to show song titles from the iPod, but the unit does not do this. You either have a constant display of which iPod is playing, the time, or the DEMO mode display.

- I don't understand the reasoning behind the various cable inputs/outputs. Most TVs and VCRs have these connections if someone wanted to show something on an iPod over a bigger screen. The unit is not easily moved (if you had to thread your cable through a hole in furniture) to facilitate using it in this manner.

- No batteries to provide backup for the clock, if you experience a power outage and this is your sole alarm source, consider a second clock set a little later as backup, particularly if your area is prone to outages.

I do not use the clock/alarm/sleep features and cannot say how well they perform their functions. My sole purpose is to have a station that can charge while playing the iPod for nighttime listening.

The value I marked 4 stars because I feel the unit is slightly over priced for what you get and features that are not available. I saw similar units at half the price for 1 iPod, didn't believe the addition of a second iPod charging dock warranted doubling the price.

However, it is still a good unit if the cost doesn't deter you.

I purchased this JVC ipod doc system for my fiance, and I must say, I was rather impressed with the quality of the sound. It packs a powerful punch for such a small unit. The dual charging capability is awesome too, because we can charge both our ipods at the same time. He loves it and we have not stopped listening to it yet!!!

Nice Sound and one the few products that really works the I-Phone, you can charge your I-Phone and I-Pod at the same time and play one while it charges, You can plug external speakers to the head set as I did; I connected my External Computer speakers with the subs to enhance what is already a nice sounding device and the alarm is a nice addition, very pleased with this purchase.
