I bought the iStereo Docking Station at Wal-Mart this weekend for $49.88 and crossed my fingers. You see, I'm by-and-large a cheapskate. I needed some form of stereo in my living room but didn't want to fork out a lot of coin for one - $50 was my limit. Unfortunately, at this price point you're bound to find more rough than diamonds. Hence the crossing of my fingers. After a limited search of Fred Meyer, Circuit City, and Target, I finally found what I was looking for at the Wally's World.
Observations:
The iStereo is considerably heavier than all of the other options at this price. It may not mean a thing, but it sure feels like it will work better because of it. The wood grain finish actually looks pretty nice. Unfortunately, it has no CD player, so your totally bound to your iPod's playlist - not a big deal for me. It has a remote that works well. And finally, it produces a pretty darned good sound for $50 speakers.
All in all, if you're looking for a cheap set of docking speakers that look more expensive than they really are, I would totally recommend the iStereo. Granted, I've only had it for one weekend. It might break tomorrow. But as of now, I'm happy with my bargain purchase.
