Sony RDP-X300IP Premium Portable Speaker Dock System For iPod And iPhone
Pros: Features and value
Cons: Size and "brick" power cord
Not much more left to be said. It came down to the 300ip, the Big Jambox and the Bose Soundlink II. The Bose was the sound winner, but not by as much as I thought it would be. The Sony lacks the Bose's depth, but was as good as the Big Jambox. Sony is MUCH more portable but the Sony also added the FM radio (handy during power outage), a dock to charge my iPod, and a remote control. The $100 savings sealed the deal. Not often that Sony is the "value" choice but in this case it was. Don't hesitate!

Pros: Fantastic sound, easy to use bluetooth hookup for all smartphones
Cons: Nothing yet
I absolutely loved these speakers. The sound quality is postively fantastic. As good as any of the others that I tested. I love the bluetooth connection which works flawlessly with my Android phone. They have excellent battery life. I couldn't be happier with my purchase!

Sony RDP-X300IP Premium Portable Speaker Dock System For iPod And iPhone
Pros: great quality, easy setup, compact design
I bought this primarily for bluetooth audio in my living room streaming from my iPad or iPhone. It connects right away and fills the room with sound. I recently purchased a Mac Mini and it also connects and plays with ease. If I want to pause or skip a song, the small remote works well from the kitchen and controls the music from any of the devices. I was hesitant to spend the money on this when iHome docks are so cheap, but everything works great (wirelessly) and sounds fantastic. I haven't looked back.

Sony RDP-X300IP Premium Portable Speaker Dock System For iPod And iPhone
Pros: The Bluetooth i love it
Cons: a little steep in price, but other than that nothing.
I bought this product about a week ago and i only use at around volume 21 which is good enough to hear in a normal space bedroom. I love it. My girlfriend has the older edition and its pretty good, so i decided to try this one out and yeah it was well worth it.

Sony RDP-X300IP Premium Portable Speaker Dock System For iPod And iPhone
Pros: Bluetooth, iPod charger, FM stereo, sound
Cons: Sound distorts at higher volumes when not using AC power, iPad difficult to dock
This iPod speaker was the only speaker that I could find that had all the features I was looking for - Bluetooth, FM, remote, IPod charger and great sound. I am very happy with this product with only two negatives for me.<br />First, the sound will distort at high volumes. Not too much of an issue for me because I rarely have the sound that loud anyway.<br />Second, the iPod dock does not accomodate an iPad very easily. Even without the iPad case on it was difficult to dock it due to its size. I decided I will just use the dock for my iPod and I charge my iPad elsewhere which actually works fine.<br />Overall it's a great product, it fit all my needs and it was worth the higher price tag.

Sony RDP-X300IP Premium Portable Speaker Dock System For iPod And iPhone
Pros: Great Sound, Stylish
Right features for the right price. I was looking for a radio/sound dock for my new master bathroom so I can listen to tunes while I soak in the tub. Also need the radio feature for early morning traffic reports and the sound has to carry over the din of the shower. The Sony sound dock did the trick. Sound quality is impressive and yes it has bass! Wish is had a built-in clock and did not rely on the iPod/iPad for time but I can live without it. This is a really good product and won't break the bank.

Pros: Terrific sound
Cons: Haven't found any probems yet
We were really leaning towards a Bose docking station, but found this one on sale and with good reviews. I am glad that we went with it because it has excellent sound, doesn't take up alot of room, and does exactly what we wanted it to for a really reasonable price.

Sony RDP-X300IP Premium Portable Speaker Dock System For iPod And iPhone
Pros: features
Cons: Antenna
I went into Best buy looking for a portable dock and tried Bose,Zeppelin Mini and a few others.After listening to all these docks I settled for the Sony as it ticked all the boxes and has the sound quality,features and portability for a modern day sound system.This system has a punchy,detailed sound worthy of a much more expensive system.Much better overall than Bose and Zeppelin Mini.

Sony RDP-X300IP Premium Portable Speaker Dock System For iPod And iPhone
Pros: Sound, portability and quality.
Cons: Nothing electronically so far but wish they gave a travel bag with it.
I was looking for a portable sound dock that sounds really good and can run on batteries and be wireless. This was the solution. I had a few sound docks in mind like the logitech but did not have enough base, the bose portable is way too expensive for the same sound quality as this sony and the bose soundlink which is way too expensive and does not sound that great. It has the low and warm sound but its not clear on the highs. This sony is very clear on lows mids and highs. Thanks to bluetooth now I can hook up any device wireless from my iphone to tablet. This has a dock unlink the bose soundlink so if you have an ipod classic or nano you can dock it. On the bose its only bluetooth. This sony also has different eq settings for you taste of listening and the kind of music you like. It also has a AMFM radio witch is cool but dont really care for it much. The battery which I last over 4 hours on high volume. Battery indicator is good to tell you if your battery is low or what not. Basically its a great great system especially the sound for being portable. Just wish sony would have thrown in a bag to put it in for traveling which does not cost much. Other then that I think its great.

Sony RDP-X300IP Premium Portable Speaker Dock System For iPod And iPhone
Pros: Very good sound quality and simple to use
This is a great little sound system for the money and size. I like the ease of use. I had one of the earlier models that did not have Bluetooth and liked it very much but when I saw this model in the store that had Bluetooth I handed it down to my son and purchased this one for myself.

Sony RDP-X300IP Premium Portable Speaker Dock System For iPod And iPhone
Pros: sound quality is excellent as good as bose IMO
Cons: nothing so far..
I have to agree with the other reviews 100%. I wont re-invent the wheel here. the review from hates sony NC is right on the money. my wife wanted something portable to use out is the yard and on her horse event trips(we have a bose dock for inside that we have had for 5 yrs). we looked and listened to the bose for $350. and was pretty sure that was the one but we went home and i did a little searching. this unit came up and i went to listen to it. The bass was impressive, sound over all excellent. Of course it went on sale the week after i bought it but oh well. If you are fussy about quality and want to save some money check this out and then buy it. You wont have any regrets. I generally liked this one better for: Size, Radio, blue tooth and cheaper price... the only thing I'm not sure of yet is battery life. radio presets/scanning took a bit to understand but you will probably only do that once. they say you get what you pay for but i'd say in this instance its more than you paid for.<br />very pleased

Sony RDP-X300IP Premium Portable Speaker Dock System For iPod And iPhone
Pros: Just about all of it
Cons: Minor issues.
Wanting a radio and bluetooth device, I purchased this mainly for my kitchen while I'm cooking and for occasional get togethers. After staring at the Bose Soundlink for about half an hour trying to convince myself to shell out $300 for something without a radio, a sales associate suggested I look at this. It has iPod plastered all over the box and I am an avid Android user (Motorola Droid X and Toshiba Thrive tablet), so I didn't give it much thought. I connected my android phone up to it in about 3 seconds and played some tunes from my Google online library. I was quite surprised. It sounded great. Although, with all the TV's, stereos, video games, etc. playing in the store, I was still hesitant. I tested several more types of songs and decided to go for it. I got it home, connected my tablet up to it in a few seconds. It may not sound quite as nice as the Bose, but it is still very, very good. I tested how loud it could go, kept my tablet at half volume and cranked up the music. Little to no distortion. My wife actually came downstairs and asked me to turn it down because she could feel the bass in our sons room while he was napping. I let it charge up, unplugged it and took it outside on the patio. WIth the tablet inside on the counter, this thing still sounded great outside. I think it sounded better than it did in the kitchen. It was at least 30 feet apart from the tablet and never lost connection. I have not tested the charge duration, but I was outside for at least 2 hours with it playing.<br />Overall, I love the sound quality. I love that when powering up the radio and my tablet, the Bluetooth connects automatically. I love that it has an FM radio. I love the remote. I love that I can take this outside unplugged. It looks nice and stylish sitting on my kitchen counter. The controls on top are easy to use. The volume rocker and select buttons feel sturdy to the touch, not flimsy like you get in many products.<br />My only little issues are that there is no AM radio and my old iPod 3G 60GB does not work in it. All my music is in the cloud now, so that is not a big issue for me. Its a little heavy, but I don't plan on going on walks with it. The power cord is pretty clunky. I suppose the unit would be even heavier if it wasn't. I'd like to be able to tweak the sound to my fit, rather than the 5 loaded presets. I installed an EQ app on the tablet and it works great for that. All my issues are minor.<br />Anyone looking at the Bose, I would suggest you check this one out. It was on sale for about $200 when I picked it up. Absolutely no buyer's remorse. This one is a keeper.
