Creative's Swanky iPod Docks

by Tim Stevens on April 13, 2007 at 07:59 AM



For the classy iPod listener, Creative is releasing a series of fine-looking docks and speaker sets. It starts with the X-Fi Sound System i600, a beautiful piano-black docking station that wirelessly connects to two satellite speakers and a subwoofer. Next is the Playdock i500, an integrated solution with speakers and a remote, and then the TravelSound i, a similar, though smaller, package for hotel-room listening and the like.

Finally, there's the xDock Wireless, a $199 docking station that lets you pipe music wirelessly from your iPod to your surround sound home-theater system (you'll need the extra $99 X-Fi Wireless Receiver to do so). All have the same simple but sophisticated look that should complement both your iPod and your living rooms. We saw this last system back in January (at CES) and were impressed with the 5.1 sound coming out of our iPod.

The xDock Wireless is due out in May. Of the other systems mentioned here, only the i500 has an official U.S price: $199. However, given the announced prices for the other units in Singapore, expect the i600 to cost about $400, the TravelSound about $130, and the Xdock about $220.
