Sony RDR-X50iP

Been using this for four months now. It's a decent compomise between price and performance. 

The sound quality is as I expected. It's clear enough and when you crack up the volume it can fill the room quite nicely. I've used it for a kids party and it was loud enough. 

On board controls are simple (skip, pause, volume, megabass) and these are replicated on the remote. The design of the remote is a tad illogical but you get used to it!

It comes with a selection of plug in "seats" depending on your model of iphone/ipod. The slight frustration for me personally is we have an iPhone 3 and 4 and the adapters are non-compaible. Therefore we leave it with no adapter and that works.

As mentioned by What Hi-Fi the bass can sometimes be slightly overpowering. I never use the megabass function - it adds too much bass.

The price of this is also really good via the internet so a decent buy. Suitable for lounge, kids bedroom or kitchen.
