Pros: It is a very good price which worked OK on older iPhone firmware and iPods.
The sound is pretty loud, but don't expect loud basses.
The price is OK for the value it gives.
Cons: Does not work with iPhone OS 3.0. It will give an popup saying it is not compatible. But the sound still works, the popup is just irritating.
Other Thoughts:
Bottomline: The price is right for this item, but it's a shame it doesn't work on newer firmwares.
It works on: iPod Nano 1st gen, iPod Classic 160GB, iPod Touch OS 2.x.
Good for the price

Pros: - Good price
- Decent packaging (blister)
- Easy to use
Cons: - Only white. Should have option for black
- Not too loud, distorts on higher volumes, but for the use I intended to (listen to music at work) it is more than enough. If you plan to turn your Ipod into a boom box this is not for you. :-)
Other Thoughts: DX could sell these things in other Ipod colors, such as black.
Bottomline: If all you want is to listen to your ipod music library in places where taking a docking station (e.g. at work) would be "overkill", this does the job. Don't expect bass or audiophile-like audio quality. But just for listening your tunes without earphones, it does the job perfectly.
Great speakers for the iPod Touch 1G.

Pros: It's sufficiently loud. I'm very satisfied with the volume.
Great sound quality. It's exactly what I'd expect it to sound like, so I wasn't disappointed at all.
It's the exact width of the iPod Touch.
It fits very snuggly into the port.
Cons: If I was forced to name some cons:
- a little bit on the thick side
- uses iPod's battery
- at very high volume, sound distorts, but is expected. Part of the distortion comes from the rattling of the volume buttons. Tape fixes that.
Other Thoughts: Would've been nice to see it in black.
Bottomline: Great price for what you get. You'll be using it all the time. This is a must have for iPod Touch 1st Generation owners.

Pros: nice and small.
fits snuggly into docking port.
reasonable sound quality.
good price.
Cons: a tad tinny on full volume but what do you expect for less than £4. if you get the balance right between the unit and the ipod itself the sound is more than exceptable.
Other Thoughts: a selection of colours would be nice. looks great on my 3G white ipod but looks a bit silly on my red nano.
also a nice little keyring size case to put it in would be nice.
Bottomline: great for the price, will be getting some more for friends when i get the chance.
