Rating: - Just what I needed
The small space and the sound quality is just perfect for the office. It doen't take up a huge chunk of my desk and the sound for the office is great. I don't know how it would work if you had a big space and you wanted the sound to be perfect quality.
Rating: - Great product
I'm a tough, bargain-concious consumer so buying this device involved a lot of research. Great quality sound for awesome price. The sound is so crisp I can "blow away" my daughter when she cranks her stereo. Now she borrows my player when using her mp3 player. Only wish the remote was more functional and it came with a standard USB port. I highly recommend this product. Hmmm...could probably be a great Christmas gift.

I've had this for a few weeks now and I think it gives a great sound with my nano 2nd gen. A little advise, play with the EQ settings on you ipod to customize the sound to what you like.
I found 2 draw backs that others have found:
1. The remote works very poorly straight out of the box. I switched out the battery with a new one and it helped the range a lot, but you still have to "play" with it to get it to work. Seems like there is some sort of delay so if you increase the volume and then want to pause or skip to the next song you have to wait a few seconds.
2. Each time you unplug/plug-in the system the volume jumps to maximum when you play your ipod. Since I leave my Athena in one place this is not a problem to me, but it's something you should be aware of if you move the unit around a lot.
Even with the 2 problems it was a great buy.

I own both a Bose Sounddock ($200) and an Athena iVoice ($50). I detect no difference in audio quality (though I'm no audiophile...if I was a docking station would be unacceptable anyway). The Athena is a bit more compact than the Bose, it would be stylish in any room, and the iPod fits snugly in the dock (it is a bit more exposed to accidents in the Bose). Other users commented negatively on the remote, and I agree that one must have good aim to have the remote and the dock get along.
I plan on purchasing more of these Athena docks for other rooms.
The vendor (Vanns) did a great job delivering the product in mint condition and on time.
