Yamaha PDX-30 Speaker Dock for iPod and iPhone
The best sounding dock to a musician's ears
Written by TS from Mission Viejo
Jun 4, 2009
I've enjoyed my iPod on airplanes, at the gym and in other environments with a fairly high noise floor. Up to this point I hadn't found an amplified solution that sounded good to my ears in my office or kitchen where there wasn't so much background noise. I've purchased 2 iPod docks prior to this one and given them both away because I couldn't listen to them. I bought the Yamaha a week ago and it sounded great in my office, so I bought one for the kitchen as well. I'm a musician and admittedly very picky about sound quality, but the Yamaha sounds sweet and clear. Playing it in the kitchen last night my wife commented on how good it sounds (so it's not just me). Highly recommended. One tip I'd offer is to place the dock over a hard surface or close to a hard surface, which really improves the bass sound. …More

Best sounding iPod speaker
Written by RG from Carlsbad

I have tried almost every iPod speaker on the market and I can honestly say that the PDX-30 has the best bass I have ever heard in such a small size. If you are interested in ease of use, great sound, and a cool look, this is a great piece. Works perfect with my iPhone. …More

Yamaha PDX-30
Written by FT from amherst
Jul 17, 2009
I have enjoyed this unit for three days. Took it to work and did a comparison with the Bose portble ($399) We rated the units even in sound and quality. Bose advantage is portability and ability to plug in to other devices. The Yamaha advantage is $200 less cost and much better look and small footprint. These are not "Class A" audiophile units. They do produce great enjoyment with good sound quality that can be used in any environment. …More

Yamaha PDX-30 Speaker Dock for iPod and iPhone
This Yamaha works!
Written by KT from San Dimas
Sep 11, 2009
I was looking for a quality speaker system for my ipod touch. I contemplated opting for the B & W "Zeppelin" model, but for $600, I had to be floored. When I checked it out at an Apple Store, I was not moved; good--but not great. I also decided to check out this Yamaha, since I researched it a bit, and it had solid reviews. It sounded good for such a little system. So I took it home. I listen to bass(ey) music such as ska, reggae, jazz and punk rock, so its emphasis on the lows was appreciated. This unit has a nice, clean aesthetic and will not be visually intrusive in any decor setting. I also really dig the fact that it charges my ipod. The remote is quite "functional" and visually appealing as well. I will give you some helpful advice--since this unit is a "bass reflex" design, it will sound much sweeter if you can place it near a wall, or better yet, a corner wall. I did this and the sound quality was kicked up 50%! For $200 this Yamaha is the best value you will find-go for it. …More

Yamaha PDX-30 Speaker Dock for iPod and iPhone
My new favorite iPhone speaker
Written by RB from Torrance
Aug 26, 2009
This was given to me as a gift from my wife since I've been using a horrible sounding set of powered speakers that use the headphone jack. This PDX-30 is just a little bigger than my other speakers, but wow they sound big. I've used it with Pandora for a few weeks now and it's always been easy to use, I just dock my iPhone and start listing (I don't even have to power it on since it automatically turns on/off). Also, I read the last reviews saying it doesn't have an input, but I have full size stereo system for listing to my CDs and movies...I think they were missing the point of this iPod speaker.
Bottom line: big sound, small size, no extra buttons (no need for power, input, etc.) …More55 of 56 people found this useful
