I always thought it was required and that has arrived with Sony SRS-GU10IP Dock Speakers, great news atleast for me because after the mind boggling performance of SRS-GU10IP Dock Speakers I am now going to buy an Apple iPod. The Apple iPod’s performance with this accessory is absolutely mind blowing and I couldn’t resist the temptation. I never had any doubt about the quality and class of Apple iPods, even in my reviews I have always pointed out that the only problem with this generation of media players was its lackluster audio quality and this has been aptly upgraded by the SRS-GU10IP Dock Speakers to a flaw less audio performances by the iPod generation. In fact one of my friends was no less excited with the performance of this supplement while using it with iPhones.

It is widely accepted that quality headphones has enhanced the performance of iPods to a large extent. In fact the iPods, especially the Apple generation are dogmatized by the poor quality of headphones for unknown reasons. May be a good headphone is pricy and may not keep the prices of the iPods that attractive. But previous efforts of supplying a speaker with mp3 player met with a massive fiasco. Just look at your Creative Zen with speaker, I think the addition of the speaker to the Zen was pointless to say the least. Probably it’s a matter of technology, since coaxing such quality out from a comparatively tiny gadget requires a hell lot of technological expertise, and in fact modern day speaker technology is quite intricate. No doubt Sony produces excellent products but I think there is no comparison with Bose speakers which are, agreed, too pricy but none the less capable of stunning audio. But I don’t think one has to fall back on Bose speakers for a good device meant for family or home entertainment.

No body can deny the fact that music is very much related to human emotions and does influence their daily activity. While bad audio can ruin a quality track and at least makes me very gloomy and sad. Music is being widely used to cure incurable diseases, that speaks volumes of its influence on a human being.

TEN GOOD REASONS TO MAKE IT YOUR OWN:

1) It enhances the audio quality and output of your iPods and iPhones and specially optimized for them (10/10)
2) Excellent wooden cabinet, fabulous lush black finish adding tonal quality to the audio (10/10)
3) Can be used to a large extent with devices which support 8 ohm impedance (9/10)
4) Keeps the iPod and iPhone charged with its built in charger dock (10/10)
5) Remote control for easy maneuvering from a distance (10/10)
6) No radio interference from iPhones (10/10)
7) Play music from your Mac (10/10)
8) User warranty of 1 year. (10/10)
9) AC adapter (10/10)
10) Light weight compared to its tonal quality and full functionality (10/10)

That makes it nearly a gymnast’s perfect score; well I bet it deserves it full and thorough.

LET’S HAVE PEEP AT ITS TECHNICAL SPECS: (copied and pasted)

Audio in: Single stereo mini-jack
Inputs: iPod 30-pin plug and one stereo mini input for alternate audio sources
Driver unit: 2.25 in./5.7 cm
Impedance: 8 ohms
Power: 100-240 VAC
'Output power: 20W total (10W + 10W)
Magnet: Ferrite
Dimensions (WxDxH): 12.63 x 6.13 x 7.75 in./32.0 x 15.4 x 19.4 cm
Weight: 4.6 lb./2.1 kg

Now that hardly looks enviable. I am absolutely satisfied with its performance over the whole range of the audio spectrum but must add that it seems a bit low on the high frequency range (the treble) but that does not give a tweak just jerk the iPhone and the equalization is there. Probably some technological whim to snuff out wireless interference.

If I remember correctly Apple has whole heartedly recommended it and no wonder. Talking about aesthetics there also it scores 10/10, beautiful trendy and high-tech looks.

When it is connected to the Apple iPod touch 8GB the Sony SRS-GU10IP Dock Speakers provides not only power full and rich audio but it is also very deep in bass, intense and soothing. The Bass Boost performs to a nicety. It is only natural because it is stuffed with full range bass-reflex and the woofer to work up the treble. No problems at all with iPods but as I mentioned earlier needs a jerk when connected with iPhone. I can’t but adore its wonderful performance at low volume.

It is good that Sony has rightly decided to keep its trust with convention by using the wooden cabinet, may be it adds to the weight but never mind it adds substantially to the tonal quality of the system.

SOME IMPORTANT ISSUES:

IT definitely compatible with iPod touch 2G
No problems with iPhone 3g.
Even the Apple Nano 5G is supported.
I have tried it with my Creative Zen, its wonderful.
