Christmas celebrations cannot be made complete without lots of food, wine and some great music. While your iPod can make you merry, without a nice dock the celebrations are limited. The Vers 1.5R music dock is just perfect for green Christmas celebrations. The dock works as an alarm clock, AM/FM radio and can also be connected to an iPod to deliver music to all. The dock is handcrafted in a week from sustainably harvested bamboo and walnut. The dock retails for $199.50 and can be purchased from the Delight Store.

I purchased this for myself for Christmas and found it to be less than fantastic. Firstly, it’s not compatible with the iPhone nor an iPod Classic with any kind of case attached to it, it just won’t fit in the dock.
The worst part of this, however, is the sound. At about 1/2 volume (15-20) the sound really starts to compress and flatten out. Right when the bass starts to sound even a little present, the rest of the sound starts to sound terrible.
I would say this was a great idea, but it’s far from even close to being released at this price point. It would be a decent value for $49.
Beg to differ. I picked up one for Christmas as well and I’m my opinion, the sound is damn solid for a compact single speaker system. You have to be sure your iPod’s EQ settings are flat (as with any small system) and adjust the bass (+2, +3) & treble (+1) to your liking. The wood’s contribution to the color of the music is quite ’warm’ for lack of a better word.
