 Crisp but not overpoweringJan 23, 2007
By M. Miller
I've had the iyiyi for about 2 weeks. I did a lot of shopping around before taking a shot in the dark and ordering this thing online. What makes it beat the Bose is the fact that it has a radio and that you can hook other devices into it.
The sound is sharp and it fills a large sized room. The sound is not overpowering, though. On songs with a lot of heavy base, it does distort a little at high volumes. Tivoli recommends not turning on ipod's equalizer as this could cause damage to the speakers.
I can pick up radio stations from far away. It looks really cool. My ipod looks like it belongs with it. It is compact, so it fits just about anywhere you want to put it without taking up too much space. The power cord is just that, a power cord. It tucks away neatly.
The other cool thing about it is that when you unplug it, it remembers what time it is and your preset radio stations.
I like this product and I think it is worth the price.

Elegant Look, Bright Clean SoundOct 13, 2007
By Ann Arbor Reader
After a lot of browsing around for a bookshelf iPod system, I chose the Iyiyi and really, really like it.
I found that I could easily adjust and fix sound issues via my iPod's EQ settings. Initially my bass was a bit distorted, but a few adjustments on the iPod itself made this Tivoli unit sound bright, full, and crisp. I know some people prefer the sound on the Bose SoundDock, but I have to wonder if they might have changed their mind if they had used the Iyiyi and just made some changes on their player--for me it just took five minutes of tinkering and listening. To each his own, I guess.

 Alarm Clock Without Snooze Function??Jan 10, 2007
By A. Martin
Very pretty. Awesome sound. No snooze.
I received the iYiYi as a gift meant to replace my iHome alarm clock. It's definitely an upgrade in terms of sound quality, but I wasn't looking for new speakers.
Also, it took three email exchanges with Tivoli customer service before confirming there was in fact no snooze function for the alarm.
I'm back to using my iHome and am only disappointed with the lack of snooze. It's otherwise a great product. The alarm feature shouldn't be used in marketing.

 Sounds like my Toyota car speakersDec 29, 2009
By Steven W. Henderson
"Blind Man"
I received the iYiYi for my 25th work anniversary along with a 64 GB iPod touch. I love the touch. however the iYiYi has a horrible sound to it. There are no controls to adjust the treble or bass, which is unacceptable for many songs. The sound is mediocre at best. It resembles my cheap car speakers, however I can adjust the treble and bass on my car speakers. I listened to the Beatles remastered album on the iYiYi and thee was way too much bass, which sounded like the speakers were cracked. There is nothing I can do to adjust the base except turn dorwn the volume on the iYiYi. I can't believe other people reviewing this even dare to compare it to the Bose system. There is no comparison in my opinion, the Bose blows this away by far. If you are considering purchasing the iYiYi, please do a sound comparison in person before making a purchase, because maybe I received a defective one and I don't want to give the system a bad reputation. I had read the CNET reviews prior to selecting this gift and they mentioned that the bass was bad. On the Beatles remastered CD's the bass is overwhelming and I can't stand it. By the way, where are the tweeters? Also, this thing is heavy and deep in size and I'm not sure why, lacking the features! I am listenng to my iPod now and must disconnect it due to the annoyance and hook it up to my laptop and it's $10 Jenson speakers. What a disappointment! I would throw it through my window, however I might be able to sell it online to someone who hasn't read this review. One last thing...it doesn't even charge the iPod touch while in the docking station!
