Best Buys
The Which? Best Buy award is given to
products with high total test scores that perform consistently well in
our rigorous lab tests and excel in all key areas.
Energy Savers
We award the Energy Saver logo to
products that our testing shows are very energy efficient, meaning
they'll cost you less to run.
Don't Buys
The Which? Don't Buy logo alerts you
to the products that performed extremely poorly in one or more key
areas of our tests.
Sound quality
Based on technical measurements and assessment by a three person expert listening panel.
Features
Based on connectivity, versatility, controls and portability.
Power use
Based on measured power consumption during playback at normal volume levels, during standby and where applicable running time of batteries.
Ease of use
Based on initial set-up, remote control operation, operation of iPod while docked and quality of instructions.
Launch date
Older models may be harder to track down - but you may find a bargain. Test programmes and key features change over time but we re-evaluate results for older models to make them as comparable as possible with newer models.
Compatible with non iPods
Each dock has been specifically designed to work with an iPod. However, the inclusion of a 3.5mm jack means any portable device can be attached.
Batteries
All the speaker docks we've tested can be powered via the mains. But some versatile models can also run on batteries
