Yamaha PDX-50

Wireless music so often falls short of expectations, but the PDX-50 really delivers

Lossless wireless transmission ; great sound for a dock ; sensibly small transmitter

Bass is a touch detached

Easy to listen to; controlled directly from iPod/iPhone

Very average build quality; limited wireless range

Simple design and clear audio

Charging requires separate dock

A nifty, capable iPod dock with some of the finest wireless tech we've encountered

Idiot-proof and clever wireless technology, decent sound, good looking

Sound could be more defined, the handheld iPod dock feels a bit vulnerable

Sound is pleasing without being exceptional, and the handheld element could be sturdier. Overall, though, the PDX-50 is a fun option.

This seems like an easy mix. Place your iPod in the wireless sender that fits around your iPod it sends signals to the speaker and sound comes out. Not what happened for me, I assumed (wrongly) that the speaker was faulty and a replacement was sent,...

Excellent full sound quality with good bass ; Neat appearance - easy and unobtrusive ; Good reception between sender and speaker

Great sound, looks good and very compact. Has a high volume for such a small unit ; Great that the phone is the remote

Occasionally gets interference from wireless Internet or anytime plus box, but easily rectified by moving the phone closer and placing the cradle in the rechargeable stand

makes iPod iPhone and iPad more usable

charger too light to use as charger for iPad, but it wash't designed for iPad
