The Memorex Mi2013 Travel speaker performs adequately. It could use a few additions (such as a mute button and separate bass and treble controls), but if you're looking for a dock that can be used in the backyard, at the beach, in a hotel or while camping, it is a relatively inexpensive option.

The Pure-Fi Express Plus is a decent-sounding combination of alarm clock and iPod dock that will suit casual users.

A good but not great iPod alarm clock, it has a few nifty features like its motion sensor but the audio is merely average.

The DC910 is an appealing prospect, especially if you own an iPod touch. The bass can be overpowering, but for the price this nifty unit provides plenty of punch.

As integrated iPod dock sound systems go, the Geneva is far ahead of the pack despite missing out on a few creature comforts. If you can overlook the narrow soundstage and lack of screen, you might just be won over by the sound quality.

The iM310 is a fair travel solution, but don’t expect brilliant sound quality. At this price it's pretty decent value.

A decent but uninspiring iPod dock, the Cygnett GrooveForce II suffers a fair bit in the audio department but it is fine for casual listening and the FM tuner will be appealing to many.

Despite the issues with sound quality there is a little to complain about at this price. The AJ301D is a capable hybrid alarm clock and iPod dock.

The AVLabs MYTube is a great example of a device that is a jack of all trades and a master of none.

If you're after a portable iPod speaker solution then JBL's On Stage IIIp may be just the ticket. While it does have a few small sound quality issues there is no denying that its small size, carry bag and battery support make it ideal for road listening.

Harmon Kardon's Go + Play is a brilliant high-end iPod dock. Its audio is well balanced and almost flawless. The design has one niggling issue, but the large, sturdy handle certainly adds to the unit's portability

A fairly average iPod dock, the Edifier iF330 certainly has a small price tag but it produces fairly poor quality audio with no bass presence and no remote control is included.
