Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Philips BTM630 Bluetooth Wireless Micro Hi-Fi System with iPod Docking Station
Customer Review: Great connectivity options and works w/ a 3G iPhone
Summary: 4 Stars
I received this yesterday from a Woot sale. I'm pretty happy with it so far. I was able to set it up quickly, and I have to say I'm impressed with the unit so far.
The Pros:
-Works with the 3G iPhone: I was a little worried that it might not work, as Phillips doesn't specifically say so. But when I got it, I was able to physically dock the iPhone and play my music through the system. I was also able to easily pair, and connect via Bluetooth. Furthermore, it charges the iPhone/iPod while docked.
-More connectivity than you can shake a stick at: We keep my girlfriend's mac in the kitchen, and this system was meant to replace that as a music player. We can now connect the mac via USB and play through here. We can listen to the radio, CD's, her iPod and even SD - though I'm not in the habit of carrying my music around on an SD card.
-The sound is pretty good: I'm not an audiophile, and the reason we got this was to have something that could put out music at a level louder than the mac's speakers. With that said, this system can get pretty loud (so much so that when I was setting it up in the kitchen, my girlfriend hollered from the upstairs bedroom to turn it down). The highs and mids are pretty good, and the bass is OK for such a small unit. It's not going to win any awards for the crispest, clearest sound, but I'm happy. Furthermore, this system will be perfect for the small get together's we have in our town-house when we're entertaining and have a group of about 8-15.
Cons:
-The bass tones could be stronger.
-The controls feel plastic-y, and without the remote the system would be a bit of a pain to deal with (volume through the remote is easy, changing radio stations through the remote is easy. Doing so through the system controls requires a lot of "click, click, click" to increase/decrease volume, or move up/down channels, change inputs).
All in all, I'd recommend this system for a small area. It's perfect for our kitchen/dining area. It's range of connectivity is what puts it over the top for me. Having the iPod/iPhone connectivity, Bluetooth, and USB options pretty much fulfills every possible requirement me and my girlfriend might want from this system.
