    Wonder how this compares to the Logitech Squeezebox

    • Rocket on 25/06/2010 - 12:08

      I would suggest at $650 the Squeezebox should sound better, but looking at the logitech website it doesn't have Digital Radio, iPod or USB connectivity.

      Squeezebox is better value.

      You can pick them up for around $170, and in addition to internet radio, they also enable you to stream MP3s off your PC. (You can attach an iPod via a cable if you want to.)

      Great sound quality too.

      The only downside is that of course you need to have a wireless home network for the Squeezebox to work.

      • Rocket on 25/06/2010 - 12:58

        I predominantly use mine for crystal clear digital radio reception which I don't think Squeezebox has. I also don't need such a big unit for my bathroom or bedroom, but I'm sure the Squeezebox would sound better.

        • asa79 on 25/06/2010 - 13:18

          Do you have this model? How is the streaming off PC sound?

          • Rocket on 25/06/2010 - 13:31

            @asa79: Sorry, that is the 1 function I have not tried. I mainly use it for Digital radio.

  • colblair on 25/06/2010 - 12:15

    good for the price, but an internet radio really needs a bigger screen so you can scroll through your choices easier.

    • Rocket on 25/06/2010 - 12:18

      Totally agree, but I have a couple of my favourites pre-set. Also didn't expect much more for the price. You can pay a lot more for larger screen.

  • sjc073 on 25/06/2010 - 12:27

    Anyone have any experience with this?
    How bright is the screen? A review I read said that the screen was a bit bright to have next to your bed when sleeping.
    Is the iPhone supported for charging etc. without putting it into flight mode?
    Si.

    • Rocket on 25/06/2010 - 12:54

      Mine sits in our bathroom and the display gives a nice glow at night, so we don't need to turn the light on. I would not have it by my bed facing me!

      Yes, it does charge my iPod.

      • asa79 on 25/06/2010 - 13:19

        Whats the power usage like? Normal use and standby/sleep/off

        • Rocket on 25/06/2010 - 13:30

          Sorry, no idea. The back light is just LED so I don't expect it to be much.

  • retiredfeline on 25/06/2010 - 12:34

    Pity it doesn't record programs to the iPod. Actually I don't even have an iPod so what am I complaining about? :) Ah no, I was just thinking of someone who has an iPod and likes to timeshift programs.

  • YesPleaseThankYou on 25/06/2010 - 12:39

    I'd buy this if it didn't have an iCrap dock.

  • Jondalar on 25/06/2010 - 13:50

    I have one of these and while the sound is pretty good for mono I get zero DAB+ reception in my house despite being in an area said to have "very good" coverage.

    • Rocket on 25/06/2010 - 13:54

      I have no problem with it and have used it at a few places around Melbourne, but my dad is in a ground floor apartment and had a bit if difficulty. He needed to move it around to an external wall near a window - which was not where he wanted it.

    I have one. For its price (i paid $160) its awesome. Not the most intuitive menu and selection, but once you get used to it, it does it all.

    You cant stream mp3 playlists, there is no shuffle/repeat play, you cant pause/rewind podcasts, with 10,000 internet stations its clunky to sort through. But ignoring that, it does more than anything ive tried and sounds pretty good for its size.

    For $100 its a steal.

    • asa79 on 25/06/2010 - 14:20

      so you have to pick a song at a time to stream, or a directory?

  • tama on 25/06/2010 - 14:12

    i have one and use it all day. downside for me is no remote and no handle. sits in the lounge and plays my fav stations from home. i paid $160

    • asa79 on 25/06/2010 - 14:19

      Seriously no remote, how do you work it? I didnt think they made anything anymore without remotes. My logitech alarm ipod dock even has a remote.

  • alphabeta on 25/06/2010 - 14:22

    I bought one of these a couple of months back. It was faulty on arrival. I checked and other people had the same experience. Kogan would not refund my P&H and I had to pay to return the item. Of course this is all against consumer law, so I have referred them to the ACCC who recently gave dealsdirect a big whack for a similar thing. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

  • Jondalar on 25/06/2010 - 15:29

    I agree it would be much better with a remote, plus does not have a quality feel at all.

  • parta on 26/06/2010 - 00:16

    Damn, it looks like I missed out, currently $119

    • satoshi on 26/06/2010 - 15:00

      $99 + $16.90 (nsw delivery) = $115.90, and you can't use any discount codes…

      The new model (presale now, dispatch on 23-Jul):
      $149 + free delivery + 10% discount code = $134.10 …

      which is only $18.20 difference … so if you are not in a hurry, maybe the new model is a better buy :)
      PS: From the specs, the new model comes with a remote control ;)
