Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Looks...POP!...great...POP!...Sounds...POP!...cheap...POP!
To the eye, this could pass off as a high end B&O unit. Very minimalist and stylish. So far so good...

POP!

However, the biggest let down (and it's pretty substantial) is the extremely irritating and very loud 'popping' sound that graces the beginning of every track. So, forget it if you want to listen to gentle, classical music or an album where two tracks are segueing into each other as it will be punctuated by this disconcerting dull pop, which becomes increasingly irritating.

Had the manufacturers dealt with this glaring problem and designed a remote control that actually worked beyond a distance of 18 inches (which is pretty much the same distance from which you'd operate it manually), then this would ... Read More:


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - sounds good looks good bargain for what you pay for
i purchased this docking station yesterday and it looks great. i feel as if i have made the righ choice.

looks- very apealing looks great in my bedroom and is uptodate

sounds- very good can hear all the instruments very clearly and to a high quality for its size it packs a punch.

problems- this sounds system has one minor problem which annoying people seem to have a problem with which is a slight pop or crack which you get from changing one track to another. this is ahrdly noticable and shouldn't put anyone off GREAT product.


Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Out of Date
All the problems mentioned in previous reviews are present and correct, although the overall sound is good. I received this as a present (not via Amazon) so won't be returning it, but would warn potential buyers that - besides anything else - the speaker system is now out-of-date and is not fully compatible with the present Nano.


Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Random noise problems
Similar to another user, I had problems with random noise which seemed to co-incide with the backlight going off and being in the now playing screen.

My wife was quite happy to listen to the unit and would have kept it, but it drove me crazy. I'm not some sort of sound speciallist, but I do like my music to sound reasonably good - and apart from the odd interference, it did sound quite good.

In the end (next day) I took the unit back to the shop and swapped it for another, but in the process, tried my iPod on each display model of every system and this was the only unit which did the odd noise in-between tracks and randomly during tracks.

It may be acceptable to others, but it wasn't acceptable to me - 2 stars ... Read More:


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great product, but not do everything that is stated in the descriptions
A great product, good sound and worth the money. It does not do everything in the description though. The description is for the Houseparty 24/7 and not the House Party II.

It does not have an alarm clock with two alarms and snooze function. You can use the Ipod alarm, but this does not have snooze functions.

It does not have a AM/FM radio at all. This is not available with this model.

Other than this, it is a great buy.
