Title: awesome for the first 6 months, then quickly downhill
Product review: My sister bought this unit and I was blown away by the sound quality. I put it on my wish list and received it for christmas. For the first 6 months it worked great. Then my cats chewed my remote and it didn't work so I had to start using the buttons on the top of the unit. They lost sensitivity to the point where they barely worked after about 2 or 3 months. In the next month or two, the Ipod cradle got some type of short in it and only plays in one speaker unless you hold it half-way closed. Had to resort to connecting my Ipod via an external audio cable for full stereo sound, which means that it no longer gets charged while in use. If this thing cost $50 it might be worth it but since it is much more than that, my advice would be to skip it. My sister's has the same problems and mine even seemed to develop faster than hers, suggesting that the inferior quality is getting worse as production continues. Way overpriced for the quality.
