Fidelio DS3000 Docking Speaker:Obsessed with Sound
- Neodymium speaker provides optimum bass response and pure, balanced audio
- DBB preserves low tones for deep bass at any volume
- Shielding technology blocks mobile phone interference
- Free app lets you control the speaker's acoustic properties
Neodymium Construction for Rich, Balanced Sound
The DS3000 has been engineered to deliver crisp, detailed sound that will satisfy even the most attentive listeners. Thanks to its neodymium magnets, the speaker is able to produce pure sound with superior bass response. Highs, mids, and lows are all rendered in exquisite detail, so you can hear your music as it was meant to be heard. The speaker also features special shielding technology, which helps block mobile phone interference when receiving phone calls.
Dynamic Bass Boost Takes Music to the Next Level
If you prefer your music with a little more kick, you can activate Dynamic Bass Boost (DBB) with the touch of a button. DBB helps emphasize the bass content of music, allowing you to feel the 'thump' of the bass even when the volume is low. The result is a richer, more robust sound at all volumes.
Charging Functionality and PC Connectivity
The DS3000 charges your iPod or iPhone while it is docked, ensuring that your device is always ready to go. Also, it can connect directly to your PC or Mac via a USB cable, allowing you to synchronize your iTunes library with your mobile device upon docking.

Costumer Reviews
--UPDATE 12-02-2010--
It's still being used daily and works great.
There is one issue that we have encountered, loading the AA batteries is somewhat of a hassle. Reason being is that the springs are extremely flimsy and bend a lot making it hard to load batteries into the Fidelio DS3000 speaker/dock station.
Other then that issue it's still my favorite and best sounding compact iPod speaker/dock!
--UPDATE--
After listening to several different iPod/MP3 docking speakers I actually had very low expectations for the Fidelio DS3000. The other speakers were tinny, lacked any sort of mid bass, and were just plain awful. However that is definitely not the case with this baby!
Setup was dirt simple (much simpler then the folding "easy to store" speakers that are out there). I just pulled it out of the box, plugged in the AC adaptor (it also runs on batteries), set the 5th gen iPod Nano on it's base, hit play, and away I was! No spacers or other plastic bits to insert into/over the iPod connection to make the different iPods or iPhone to fit!
The built in lit volume control on the unit is a nice touch since several other units lack an external volume control.
A USB connection allows for connectivity to your computer so you can sync your iPod with your computer. While a separate input jack allows the use of any other MP3 or CD player.
The quality of audio that this beauty reproduces is actually quite amazing. It's not the least bit hollow or tinny. Mid bass and the lower frequencies are present. And the shape of the "system" does a great job at filling a moderately large room with clear audio.
A docking and charging station for your iPod or iPhone and a speaker system for your MP3 or other audio playing device. Sleek, stylish, and extremely functional!
Pros:
Small.
Amazing sound quality, very impressed.
Charged the iPod.
Fits practically all iPods and iPhones.
External volume control.
Stylish.
Accepts other audio devices through a stereo jack.
Priced very well, would actually expect to pay upwards of $200 of this quality.
Is practically idiot proof and easy to use.
Cons:
None thus far!
Listening to just a few songs, it works great. But set it to shuffle and expect continual music? Nope. It plays about 10 songs, and then quits. Sometimes it plays for a few hours. Doesn't matter if I am using iPod Touch or iPod nano. Same thing happens with 3 different devices.
My other problem I just discovered is Batteries do NOT work as battery back up if the unit is also plugged in. I use this as my alarm clock and specifically wanted a speaker that had batteries as an option. Much to my surprise, power went out and unit would not turn on until I unplugged cord from the unit.
