Costumer Reviews
This dock is really cool.. IT has all the features that I had been looking.
- First of all the speakers are superb for a device thats not so huge.
- Great as an alarm clock with settings to adjust the clock brightness.
- It has a FM radio that has good reception
-Can play the music from my android phone even without turning on the bluetooth.
The base where you dock the phone is rather small particularly if your charging port is on the side of the phone towards the corner.Otherwise its a great product. I enjoy watching videos on my phone while its docked and the sound is superb.
Update:
I was experiencing that the sound quality while playing through bluetooth was not as good as when connecting through the headphone jack (mp3 link).
There is infact a firmware update available through Philips Fidelio app which will increase the quality of sound while connecting through bluetooth.Loving it.
OK, it's not that bad. But let's start at the beginning. I unpacked the unit, and it looks pretty good, although the base portion of the unit doesn't try to be anything other than a lump of black plastic. I plugged it in and tried the FM radio. It worked, and sounded pretty good. Nothing exceptional, but not bad for the size and price point.
Now the Android phone part. It's designed for a phone with the USB port on the bottom (or maybe the top). Mine is on the side; it will sort of balance on the connector, but the configuration is not ideal. Although the unit uses the USB port to charge the phone, it doesn't use it to communicate with the phone. When it detects that it is charging a phone it switches to Bluetooth mode and tries to communicate with the phone using Bluetooth. For this to work the phone has to have the Fidelio app loaded. Fidelio tries to take over the Bluetooth and look for a Philips unit whenever the phone is plugged in.
I had not yet tried using the phone with the unit when I attached it to its charger while a call was dialing; Fidelio killed the call and tried to find its master. I was able to redial and even use my Bluetooth headset for the call, but Fidelio continued on its quest, and managed to switch the unit, which was upstairs, to Bluetooth mode. Aside from the fact that I consider making calls with my phone more important than using it as a music player, it occurred to me that Fidelio would gladly hook up with any Philips unit it could find. While not too concerned with forcing my music on an unwitting neighbor, it would be possible for someone to create a fake Philips base and seize control of a phone for nefarious purposes. So I deleted Fidelio without trying it with the base.
All, however, is not lost. Even without Fidelio the unit will charge the phone. And, because it has a line in port, you can use an old fashioned cord to send music to the unit. So it's not really a total bust. But the intended concept of operations has issues, so I can't really recommend this product.
