Exactly as promised by the manufacturer, high quality.

Pros below: To be honest, I bought the Philips DS3000 because I really liked the design and did not regret it, because the rest! Black electronics do not suit me, but this device fits perfectly into the interior and the small size of my room))) It is very compact, but the sound is quite powerful, "with depth", it creates the feeling of a subwoofer in the room! I did not dare to turn on the volume at full volume, so as not to accidentally offend the neighbors .)) The column itself is rounded -

Nice flat speaker

Bought for my soul mate and tried it one day at work. Big sound from a small package. Use as an alarm clock is not planned yet. But it seems to work; except the Philips iPhone app kept crashing on my iPhone 4. Must ask the other half if they are having the same problems on their iPhone 3GS. This may be because I only used the speaker dock on battery power. Not sure why the battery powered option as it's not suitable for travel in size or scope. Although good enough to be unplugged and carried…

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Long time

amazing sound from a small device

I bought this for Christmas. I was looking for something to charge our iPhones/iPods and play music. I looked online, BestBuy and Costco. There were many options, the ones that sounded good were too big and the rest were just bad design and/or bad sound quality. Another thing I learned about the cheaper options is that many of them work great with iPods but are not compatible with iPhones. Philips meets all the criteria. It was sleek, small, affordable and sounded amazing. It fills the room…

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • No power

Good sound and small enough for a bedside table.

I bought this as a $50 gold box deal with the intention of keeping it next to my desk at work. Delivered on Friday. To test this I put it on the bedside table where it stayed. I've considered replacing my alarm clock with a system, but the ones I've found either rely on the iPhone as the clock, or the design doesn't seem solid enough to withstand my hand pressing the snooze button. Bad sound. not great, but good enough for smaller volumes. When it's on, there's a buzz, but no music plays…

  • GOLS certified

small, beautifully finished, sounds great

This unit is smaller than I expected but sounds fantastic for its size. With no sound or EQ adjustments, I was able to listen to bass-heavy electronic music in the shower. The music was playing a few feet away from me, on the other side of the shower door. So it was able to reproduce an undistorted sound at this volume, which is exactly what I was hoping for. It was small enough to fit on a small bathroom shelf. The moment I connected my iPhone to it, it prompted me to download the Philips app.

Pros
  • Loads of positive vibes
Cons
  • No paint required

But nice little speaker.

Overall I am very happy with the sound and quality of this speaker. My main reasons for buying it are that it's a bit more portable than other iPod docks and unlike many other iPod docks it runs on AA batteries rather than an internal rechargeable battery that loses its mobility once it stops working. Keep a fee. My complaints: The door body that houses the batteries and the springs that hold the batteries in place feel - slightly - flimsy. Not VERY thin, just a little. Don't let that put you…

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons

Lousy volume control

I have three of these working speakers that I use with computers or just in the bathroom and kitchen as handy places to plug in an iPod Shuffle or other small device. I don't use its main docking function for the 30 pin connection. If I were to rate this as a computer speaker as I mainly use it, I would downgrade it one star, maybe two. The reason is the extreme immunity to interference of the electronic volume control. I listen to streaming audio a lot and often adjust the volume due to…

Pros
  • Don't waste too much time
Cons
  • I'll add later

Disappointing! - Portable Speakers and Docks

I picked this particular player because it looked cool and Apple style, was fairly cheap and thought it should be a decent Philips product. I was a bit skeptical when reading the reviews for two reasons. Firstly, it obviously had no intention of blowing up a large room with its sound, and it also sounded like there were some technical difficulties. Not wanting to spend a lot of money I decided everything would sound better than what I was using before and it was nothing! I sincerely hoped that…

Pros
  • Best of its kind
Cons
  • Style 90
