Dock systems

The Libratone Beat iPod dock is wool clad and comes in a choice of four colours

The Pro-Ject DBS1 is a microsystem for your iPod

Fantastic sound and stunning streaming functions – with the Air, B&W has radically improved its iconic iPod dock

The good Dr. Dre ventures from headphones to speaker docks – it's a beefy system but the harsh treble is a definite turn-off

Looks good, feels great, yet performance is more boom and bang than detailed

Lenco's Speakerball is a quirky football-sized dock that could be fine for a kitchen

The iLuv iMM178DAB Vibe Plus does a decent job and even has an extra speaker for under your pillow

Epic sound that will fill a large room and unique looks, that's what you'll get with the B&O Beosound8 speaker dock

This mains powered Sony dock certainly does a lot right, but some may find the bass too overpowering

Eton's Soulra is a dock that's ideal for those outdoor excursions - it comes with solar charging facilities - but the sound's not up to much
