Dock systems

Falls short of the high standards set by similarly priced rivals

An upfront, energetic performer that delivers detail, clarity and style in spades.

Great features for the price, but this is not a class-leader in outright sound quality

Bass lovers on a budget will love this dock, but at the cost of the definition we crave

It’s no all-rounder, but the Consolette remains a unique AirPlay-and-more device that can sound simply gorgeous

Lovely design, but not a great-sounding docking system

It may be the first of its kind, but it’s already set the bar. The Venue LT is a versatile, talented, and enthusiastic speaker dock

Feature-packed wireless speaker let down by disappointing sound

Decent enough, but for the money we'd want better sound

Portable, network-savvy and easy to use, but it needs more entertainment value
