Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Ok so here is the deal. I bought this because someone I know also had one, and I fell in love with it. The reason why? well it sounds really, really good. I work at Best Buy and around the holiday season, I tried my iPod touch in every device I could find in the store. There are a lot of choices for docking stations but really I was not impressed with overall performance on most of the devices we had in the store. This one was different. I had tried only one item in the store that sounded great. It was a polk audio dock station and it had hefty price tag on it. Try $400. In polks defense it did include HD radio but still! Needless to say any accessory that cost more than the main product is a hard sell. Anyhow it sounded good but not enough to take my cold hard cash. I listened to this Griffin Amplifi on Christmas Morning when my sister got one for a present. It was music to my ears, Literally. (sorry about that pun) Anyhow the sound was impressive and clear. It didn't sound muddy or muffled and it had plenty of bang. The bass response is very respectable and I figured it would be as I noticed it has a hefty driver on the bottom side. Anyhow the performance is great withg plenty of clarity.
Now for the downside. I am not sure what it is but this device like many out there didn't support charging on the new ipods. My second gen. touch for example was no exception. That asside I new it would still do playback and that is more important to me in the end. So charging asside it's a great device. Also one other minor thing was I noticed that the volume control had a bit of a steps feel as each click upward in volume seemed noticeable. In other words it was not linear, with a smooth increase of volume yet not horrible either. yet it definitely had plenty of volume. Another thing about this step type volume it doesn't have a smooth roll off, so when you turn it way down, it doesn't gently roll off it goes to sort of quiet and then silent with just one more click of the volume control. So hey this isn't a great ambient noise machine, it's minimum volume isn't quite as soft as I hoped. But whatever! I bought this item because it cranks and still sounds great. So that is why I give it a 4 out of 5 Stars. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants quality sound and excellent bass response. :)
