I was gonna spend the $299 on a BOSE dock, but with an IPHONE 4 it with a case it was just a clumsy setup that wouldn't charge my phone, and the sound was decent but not $299 decent. (Bose is a bit of hype IMHO)
Just bought this setup to create a compact 2CH home stereo out of IPOD Universal dock for my iphone 4 OR my IPOD with remote, an Xbox 360 + a Toshiba 32" HDTV (college student setup) and I'll tell ya it plays well.
These speakers have a nice deep full sound with no coloration, plays loud enough to worry about the neighbors and has excellent bottom end.
Two sets of 3.5MM inputs to be used with IPOD dock and one pair of RCA to 3.5MM cables with Dual female RCA adapters and that goes to XBOX for movie viewing.
Now I have my poor man's home entertainment center.
Simply blows away the BOSE Idock, even the $500 setup.

What's great about it: Sound, price, flexibility
What's not so great: you never leave the house anymore.
