Hey just got into the world of android phones, and loving it.

I bought a HTC Evo 3D, and its such a good phone, and I have netflix which I like watching when cleaning the kitchen or cooking.

I would like a nice dock for it, I did buy one of those X-mini speakers, but they are terrible, the cord is super short and doesnt offer any real sound over the HTC speakers.

What dock is good for what I want to do, but with good sound.

I cant really afford the 100.00 philips ones.

Any sugestions.

Thanks

RE: Good android speaker dock?

Your Evo must have some fairly decent speakers as standard, 'cos I use an X-mini speaker with my Desire and it's a marked improvement. Not great agreed, but for £15 it makes iPlayer more bearable.

You could always by another 2 or 3 as you can daisy-chain them.

I agree it is an improvment, just me being dramatic. help, I`m sinking

Its just the cord is so small. and to leave these in the kitchen laying around ect..

Just think it would be good to have a dock, but they are so expensive.

Yeah, the cord is pretty short, but I guess that's the only way they could do the neat storage thing.

RE: Good android speake

Does it have to be a dock?  Cant speak specifically about Android stuff, but have been very impressed by logitechs speaker products.  I bought some X-140 for £20 from Asda, at that sort of money they can't be beaten.  (I wouldn't call them hifi by any means though  rolling on the floor laughing )

I actually have those spare.

 

But I want my phone to sit up so I can watch the screen as well.

I could buy another dock for 10.00 and use these I guess, but wanted something a bit more neater as they will be on the kitchen counter.

Good sugestion though.
