Customer Reviews

A satisfied customer by Donna Baldwin
First I give a thumbs up to Emily in Customer Service for all the support she provided to me in getting me connected with this unit. I received the unit in a timely manner. Everything worked find with the batteries and the remote, I though. Later when I tried to use the unit with the AC cord I received destored feedback and the remote stop working…. called customer service and Emily had me right from start to finish. She sent a replacement unit and remote. The unit worked find with the AC Cord and remote however not with the batteries and the remote. I tried everything and just when I was about to give up,… Emily and I connected via telephone. I change the batteries in the unit to Lithium(?) and the unit work fine… remote and all. Satechi has the best customer service I dealt with in a very long time. I did not want to send the unit back because of it size, it portability, and its sound. Also the fact that it uses batteries. This little guy is amazing and I would recommend the unit to others. I recommend using LITHIUM BATTERIES and all should be well. Best of luck and enjoy the unit.

Sounds good, easy to use by M. Heather Foeh
I’m very happy with this product. The sound gets a little distorted at high volumes, but I bought it to use quietly at my desk, so it’s not a concern for me. It has a small footprint which works great for me and the remote control is very handy.

This one works! by ianto39
After trying the JBL On Stage Micro, JBL On Stage 3, Logitech Pure-Fi Anywhere, iLive IC2807 etc, etc, finally there’s a compact speaker-dock that has a battery option, decent sound and a remote that works with the iPod Touch.

Portability - weighs 13oz (without batteries or iPod), and the 110/220 power supply adds another 5oz, so definitely something you can chuck in a ziploc and take wherever.

Sound quality - not bad all things considered, IMO it beats the On Stage Micro hands down & is similar to the On Stage 3, probably not as good as the JBL to a purist but for some reason I just preferred the Satechi’s sound, maybe it was the not spending the extra $90 that was music to my ears. The Pure-Fi does have better sound quality & power but it’s remote doesn’t work with the Touch so why bother calling it compatible Logitech?

Makes a slight fizzing sound at low volume, but nothing like as bad as the On Stage 3, definitely liveable with, the JBL’s fizz pop rules out playing anything with actual quiet bits.

Remote - Feels kinda cheap, but then it is kinda cheap - $40! No worse than you get with the other products I tried, once you get used to pressing the buttons all the way in it works fine. As stated in other reviews the remote is a bit odd to use, but I think some of that comes from how the Touch’s menus/navigation sort of don’t lend themselves to a simple remote. Keeping the up/down arrow buttons pressed works, ie you dont have to press a button multiple times to move down a list. Range is good, 15 ft +, with a decent angle too. The only bug with mine (so far) is if you use the Power button to turn off and then back on again it briefly come to life then shuts down again, but if you turn it back on using the Play button instead it does stay on. Also, if the album/playlist ends and the Touch shuts itself down you’ll need to actually leave your sofa to do the thumbswipe(!), whereas if you Power Off before this happens then it will come back to life without needing a thumbswipe.

Ordering/Delivery - Ordered mine here and Satechi shipped the next day so you get it just as fast as the little brown truck can get to you from San Diego. The box also says iCraft on it, not sure if that’s an alternate product name or a new line of i-Accessories.

All in all, if you want something for travelling etc you can’t go wrong with this one.

Not Bad by R. Pelc
I would say this product is not bad but not wonderful. The only problem I have found so far is that the remote is very sensitive. The remote barely works so I find myself not even using it because I don’t have the patience to take 5 minutes or longer to turn up the volume or change the song. The sound quality is decent for the size.
