 The best ipod dock June 20, 2010
Major W. Wheelock III (New Hampshire)
This is by far the best ipod dock out there.
All the features work as stated.
digital transmition, wireless transmition,
5.1 switch, and an audio expander.
or you can buy a dock that uses rca jacks and
does nothing else. If you have an ipod and you
want to hook it to the your main stereo
thia is the item for you. Awesome Product! ! ! !
Great Wireless Solution August 6, 2009
SD Dave (San Diego, CA)
Works as advertized. I have one transmitter hooked to my AV receiver and three receivers througout my house. Farthest is about 50-60 ft away on the other side of the house. Works through walls. I paired receivers with Pyle 2X75 mini amps to power my Infinity Beta 20 bookshelf speakers in all three rooms. Sound quality is excellent. I'm very happy blasting the results at high decibles.

It was ten minutes from out of the box that I could play wirelessly to my speakers from the remote docking station. It really sets itself up. Switching from ipod to TV sound is a bit confusing, but I didn't read the instructions, so that one's on me. For playing music from room to room, this thing is stunning.
 5 Star Product, 1 star for the collateral damage it creates to your wireless network. November 11, 2008
Amazing Sathu (Edison, USA)
I agree with Rene's excellent review.
I have few myself and it works really well, 3 walls within 30 feet and no drop in quality. One major issue though...the X-dock/Xmod wireless screws up your wireless internet. I have tested it few times and come to a conculsion that wireless G networks get screwed up miserably when you turn this on. So any way ended up not using the wireless feature, that defeated my purpose of buying it.
But I did not trash the receivers as soon I will be upgrading all my laptops to wireless N and upgrading router to Dual Band simultaneous broadcast, so there wont be signal interference. If anyone tried this already please post a review. Cos it is a good product, good concept and I would like to leverage it fully.
It DOES work as advertised. October 31, 2008

Ohhhh, this is so cool. I was kind of afraid that this wouldn't work at first from the negative reviews I've read about this. But really I found out what my problem with wireless was. It was a florescent lamp I had near my computer. Using a process of elimination I tested my network's WiFi with the Xdock on and off (unplugged even) and I got the same problem with my wireless. "That's odd" I thought. So I looked around to see what else would cause interference because I've been getting interference before. And on a hunch I turned off this floor lamp with a florescent bulb in it. I got better reception to the WiFi router. Even with the Xdock on. So for me it wasn't the Xdock. Be sure to check to see if there are any other sources of interference in your house. Especially florescent bulbs between your computer and your wireless router.
As for features, I couldn't be more happy. I can actually listen to my podcasts from my main computer in my living room by just connecting the computer to the line in of the Xdock and I still can have my main speakers hooked up to the computer by way of the Xdock. Of course it's just a straight connection from the computer with a plain old stereo miniplug, no controls for the computer, but now I can move through the house and still hear my podcasts. Nice. And of course it's nice to hear my iPod without having to have my computer on. It's a nice dock as well. Charging and data. All the controls are there for the iPod. It takes a little getting used to the remote control button way of controlling the iPod only because I'm used to the scroll wheel, but that's a small thing to get used to because everything the iPod can do is duplicated on the remote plus a couple things the iPod can't do with it's own controls. It's a nice little receiver and transmitter. The only mark I deduct is for bulkiness. Otherwise, for all it does, two thumbs up. I like it.
I got this from Woot!. Transmitter and a receiver. :)
[UPDATE: I've figured out two things that were complaints of other people. First the wireless problem. Yes, if you put the Xdock right next to the wireless router it will interfere with the signal (both may work at 2.4GHz). Move it 3-4 feet away and it doesn't interfere. I have mine on my desk and the wireless router on a shelf. Second, the problem with the remote for the receiver shutting off the base unit as well. The remote for the receiver is the same one that comes with the base unit except with less buttons. It can actually control both units and is not unique to each unit. It's like having two of the same model TVs in the same room and wondering why the remote of one controls the other. It's not hard to guess why. Both units are supposed to be in different rooms. That's the whole point. So put each unit out of the line of sight of each other so you won't accidentally turn off the wrong unit. The remote for one can control the other and vice versa.]
[UPDATE]: For some reason, and I didn't notice this at all when I first got it, all the screw holes holding the unit together became busted. This whole time I was as careful with it as any of my other high tech toys and suddenly when moving the device I heard rattling. My guess is that for some reason the plastic is brittle or maybe when assembling it they torked on the screws a little too tight. It still works fine. Right now I have tape holding it together. Very weird. I opened the unit (since it was already open) and shook out the plastic bits and then unscrewed the screws so there wouldn't be any more rattling (cleaning it out in case the loose parts cause problems with circuitry). But I'm still using it. I'll probably upgrade to something else similar.
