Memorex MA9310MS Stereo Speaker System for iPod and iPhone, Mesh

Memorex MA9310MS Stereo Speaker System for iPod and iPhone, Mesh
  • Plays and charges your iPod & iPhone devices
  • AM/FM radio with 10 station presets (5 AM, 5 FM)
  • Line-in connection to other digital audio devices
  • High quality stereo audio

Bought two of these so I could listen to either my iPod or the radio in various rooms of my house. For the money, it's a pretty decent and versatile unit. Sounds quality with the iPod is okay...you won't mistake it for an audiophile-grade product, but for $45, it's acceptable. AM radio sound quality could be better though. Tuning the radio in is a bit of a pain, but once you have the presets configured, it's not much of an issue. The unit does keep presets, even after being unplugged. The included remote works fine, as do the included AM and FM antennas, but as others have stated, the wall wart power supply is a little larger than normal.

The fact that it also has a AUX input port on the back means that these units could provide a cheap way to wire many of them all up to a central audio source and have music playing throughout your house. I may very well give this a try.

I picked up this unit during an exhaustive search for a good home iPod dock. I was pleasantly surprised by its good sound, features and appearance for the price. For starters it plays/charges nice with the iPhone 4 (even in a bumper case). It also has a great FM and AM radio with 5 presets, a line-in option and a remote.

The speaker is best suited for a small room; I have it in the bathroom and it's great for morning or evening getting ready music or news. There's no clock, so this is NOT for those looking for a bedside alarm. The included AC wall plug is a bit large, but it's not heavy and it doesn't block the other outlet in my experience. The unit produces a surprising amount of bass, and has decent mid-range sound (there's no EQ but it's not really needed).

This is a good option if you're looking for a sub-$100 iPhone/iPod dock + radio for the home.
